The cause depends on hard work, and the result depends on fate. Don’t worry about where your heart should go.
Efforts based on causes and randomness in results means that all results in life are not accidental, and we must pay attention to efforts based on causes.
Buddhism talks about cause and effect. But ordinary people pay more attention to the results and envy the achievements of others. But where does success come from? Any achievement does not fall from the sky, it has its causes and consequences.
"Work hard for the cause, and the result depends on the fate" also shows that when we achieve something, the result is the combination of many circumstances, is impermanent, and cannot be possessed forever. Don't be too persistent, it will only bring pain. Letting go can also help us feel normal when facing success. When you succeed, you won't think of yourself as superior to others, and when you fail, you won't feel frustrated and feel like you are worthless.
If every second of our life is repeated countless times, we will be like Jesus being crucified on the cross, being crucified in eternity. This prospect is scary. In that world of eternal return, the unbearable burden of responsibility weighs heavily on our every action. This is why Nietzsche said that the concept of eternal return is the heaviest burden.
If eternal return is the heaviest burden, then our lives can contend with it in all its glorious lightness.
The heaviest burdens crush us, sink us, and pin us to the ground. But in the love poems of every era, women always long to be under the body of men. Perhaps the heaviest burden is also a symbol of the most fulfilling life. The heavier the burden, the closer our life is to the earth, and the closer it is to reality and reality.
