Human life is like a picture, wide or narrow, bright or dark. The pattern is the framework of this picture scroll, which determines the amount and depth of its content. If the pattern is large, the atmosphere of life is myriad; If the pattern is small, the scene of life is narrow.
The trivial things of the world are like dust, drifting with the wind and having no fixed place. However, if a person gets caught up in trivial matters, he is like being trapped in dust and cannot extricate himself. The trivial things are charming to the eye, making people forget their original intentions and lose their ambitions.
The pattern is large, the most far-sighted, not confined to the immediate gains and losses. They have the world in their hearts, look at the world, and are not bothered by trivial things. They know that life is too short to waste on unnecessary disputes and calculations. Trivial things are like clouds of smoke, which are scattered in a flash, and only the big picture can give life real meaning.
A philosopher once said, "Life is too short to be happy." Although this statement is negative, it also speaks of the transience and preciousness of life. In this short period of time, we should pursue higher goals instead of drowning in trivial things.
People with a big picture have great ambitions and do not cover their eyes for floating clouds. They can see things as they are, and they are not fooled by appearances. In their eyes, trivial matters are like a passing cloud and are not worth mentioning. Because they know that only by taking a long-term view can they appreciate the true beauty of life.
However, the pattern is not achieved overnight, and it needs to be tempered and precipitated over the years. Only through continuous thinking and practice can we gradually expand our own pattern. Like a sword on a whetstone, it can be sharpened repeatedly before it can be sharpened. In the same way, only by constantly expanding one's horizons and mind can we make the pattern of life broader.
In the vastness of the universe, everyone is as tiny as dust. But as long as we have the big picture, we can shine brightly in the journey of life. Let us not be confined to trivial things, and pursue a better future with a broad mind and lofty aspirations.
