Have you ever had a time when you were flamboyant? After publicizing it, you may regret it, because you will realize how childish your behavior was.
In fact, there are many such people in reality. They are arrogant and look down on others in good times, but when they encounter setbacks, they realize their problems.
Only then will they regret how much of their flamboyant behavior was in the first place.
However, many people cannot foresee this situation when they are not experiencing a low point in their lives. Especially when they are in a privileged situation, it is even more difficult to imagine a day of downfall. As a result, they tend to live in their own world.
When you realize the impermanence of life, you will no longer be able to show it easily.
Maybe you are brilliant today, but tomorrow you may no longer be beautiful;
You may be great now, but we never know if you will always be like this in the future;
Maybe you have a lot of money right now, but you don't know if this situation can be sustained.
Life is like that, full of impermanence and uncertainty. You can never ** last long your good fortune now.
As the saying goes: you never know which will come first, tomorrow or the unexpected.
Maybe you're rich right now, but unless you have the ability to make money consistently, you might be in trouble one day in the future. Because money doesn't guarantee your happiness and stability forever.
How should we respond when that day comes?
This is an experience that everyone encounters, and we need to learn to face and accept this uncertainty.
Don't get too ostentatious, because you never know what's going to happen tomorrow. Some people are arrogant and domineering when they are proud, always looking like they are the masters of the world.
However, life is impermanent. When you don't realize it, you may be hit by your flamboyance. Because your behavior may cause resentment and rejection from others, causing you to lose your original support and help.
There was a relative who had a very wealthy family, and he always looked down on us relatives with average conditions. His attitude was arrogant and rude and made us feel very uncomfortable. However, the good times were short-lived, and his business went bankrupt and he owed a huge debt. At this time, he was in great pain and did not know what to do in the future. We poor relatives whom he once looked down on have become his only hope, but he has lost our trust and friendship.
So, don't get too ostentatious. You never know what's going to happen in the future, and you don't know what kind of predicament you're going to face. Instead of being arrogant when you are proud, you should be humble and keep a low profile. In this way, you can get help and support from others when you are facing difficulties.
Put away your fanfare, because the world is impermanent, and there are no absolutes in everything. Learning to be humble and low-key is a kind of cultivation and a kind of wisdom. It can help you better cope with life's challenges and uncertainties. When you understand this, your life will be smoother and better.
