Venerable Hongyi once said in a deep voice: "The fish, the unrestrained creature, trusts the water so much, but the water boils it mercilessly; The leaves, the free-flowing spirits, trusted the wind so much, and yet the wind blew it down coldly. I, the one who once trusted you unconditionally, you have cruelly hurt me. Later, I realized that it is not water that cooks fish, but fire. It is not the wind that blows the leaves, but the seasons;
It's not you who really hurt me, it's my own obsession. Any relationship, no matter how deep, is ultimately just an episode in life. If you don't bring harm, the years will still be quiet and beautiful. And what can really ** us is not time, but the relief in our hearts. ”
This passage is full of feelings about the impermanence of life and the complexity of human nature. On the stage of nature, fish, water and fire, leaves, wind and seasons are the elements that silently interpret the fragility and impermanence of life. The fish swim in the water, but they can't escape the heat of the fire; The leaves sway in the wind, but they can't resist the change of seasons. They, these elements of nature, silently show the transience and impermanence of life.
The same is true of human relationships, whether they are family, friendship or love. They are as complex and subtle as the relationship between fish and water, leaves and wind. Sometimes, because of some obsession, we let the originally intimate relationship come to an end, just as it is the fire that boils the fish, and the season that blows off the leaves.
On the stage of life, obsession is like fire and seasons, quietly eating away at our emotions. It could be nostalgia for the past, or it could be fear of the future. Whatever the obsession, it can become a "fire of boiling fish" or a "wind of blowing leaves" in our lives, pushing our relationships with loved ones, friends, or loved ones into the abyss.
Therefore, we need to be vigilant against these obsessions, learn to let go of past regrets, and bravely face the uncertainty of the future. Only in this way can we truly get rid of the shackles of obsession, let the fish of life swim freely in the wide waters, and let the leaves of life sway happily in the warm breeze.
* We are not about time, but about the relief of our hearts. Time may be able to dilute the pain, but what can really make us come out of the pain and face life again is our own mentality and choices. Only when we truly let go of our obsessions and let go of our obsessions can we achieve inner peace and true **.
