In the past two months, I have been hearing unfortunate and bad news from my relatives, comrades, classmates and colleagues. Some suffered severe burns all over their bodies, some lost their daughters in car accidents, some lost relatives due to accidental electric shocks, and some were seriously ill and received treatment in the hospital. When I hear about the misfortune of these close relatives or close friends, I feel particularly sad and feel sorry for the difficulties and setbacks they have encountered. Therefore, I was reminded of a wise saying: Peace and health are blessings.
In the past, my understanding of this sentence was always on the surface, and I always thought it was an empty talk to encourage people. But when I really encountered some things, I felt the meaning of this sentence. The weight is real, health is gold, and peace is blessing.
Nowadays, you can often hear colleagues and comrades around you complaining because their temporary goals and wishes have not been realized, or one or two things have not been completed as expected. , complaining about the injustice of this society, discussing the partiality of leaders, and lamenting the desolation of the world. Who knows, in life, high officials and generous salaries, fine clothing, food, money, and mansions are all external things. Only health is the most precious wealth in life, and peace is the greatest happiness in life.
Here we should learn from Su Shi, the literary leader of the Northern Song Dynasty. He was one of the most outstanding literati in ancient times. There are many works written by Su Shi today, such as "Su Shi's Philosophical and Literary Views", "Zen in Su Shi's Prose", "Su Shi's Art of Calligraphy, Painting and Buddhism", etc.
Su Shi’s life was full of ups and downs. The hardships he encountered were accompanied by his entire career. He was imprisoned once, demoted three times, and was exiled to Huangzhou, Yingzhou, Yangzhou, Dingzhou, Yingzhou, etc. Zhouzhou, Huizhou, Danzhou. Ordinarily, it is not easy to survive such a life trajectory.
What is amazing is that Su Shi’s literary achievements are unparalleled in ancient times and today. His poems are as famous as Huang Tingjian, his lyrics are comparable to Xin Qiji, and his prose is comparable to Ouyang Xiu. Not only that, when it comes to poetry, The creative achievements of poetry and prose have all reached the pinnacle of that era, and calligraphy and painting have also ranked among famous artists. The running script "Han Shi Tie" is known as the second running script in the world. Reciting Su's poems and reciting Su's prose always brings out a sense of boldness and courage, as well as a sense of heartiness.
In my memory, Su Shi’s quatrains can be blurted out and chewed, as if standing proudly on the top of the mountain, crossing the sea, holding hands, talking and laughing for thousands of years. You know, what a lofty and broad-minded state of mind it is! And all of this is because Su Shi regards setbacks and tribulations as training for himself. As long as the person is alive and healthy, everything will be fine. He can survive in the mirror and survive in the suffering. brilliant.
Everyone hopes for health, and everyone prays for peace, but health and peace do not fall from the sky, nor are they given by gods. They must be expressed by oneself with the heart and life. Only by building a healthy body can you gain the sunshine of peace.
Achieving health and peace requires a good external environment and noble self-cultivation. Health not only requires nutrition and exercise for physical health, but also requires moral character and cultivation for mental health. Because health is the basic prerequisite for peace, the key to peace in life comes from physical health and spiritual peace.
Lao Tzu said in his "Tao Te Ching": Doing nothing means doing everything. This is an inexhaustible moral power and state. This kind of power is flexible and strong, long-lasting and lasting. When I think about it, it suddenly becomes clear and warm as spring. Is there anything we can’t hold on to, what else can’t let go, and what else can’t be understood?
We must continue to enhance our health and well-being. Awareness of peace, purify yourself psychologically, clarify your state of mind, and have no regrets or worries no matter what you do or encounter. This is the fundamental guarantee of health and peace.
Exercise frequently every day and pay attention to safety at all times. As a person, you must understand the rules, be disciplined in doing things, not be glitzy or vain, do your work down-to-earth, and live a happy life. Exercise the body, cultivate the mind and nature, enhance immunity against various viruses, prevent diseases and maintain health, eliminate disasters and hardships, and prolong life. That is the greatest health and peace.
We must develop the habit of loving sports, learn the knowledge of self-protection, and beware of accidental injuries that may occur at any time in life. In this way, you will not only get peace for yourself, but also create a peaceful environment for your family and society.
No matter how expensive money is, it is not as valuable as health, and no matter how prosperous and glorious you are, there is no peace and happiness. In different life paths, I don’t know how many people have died for money. I don’t know how many officials have died because of their power, all because they did not regard health and peace as the most precious wealth and the rarest happiness in life.
Health is gold, peace and security is blessing. The life of ordinary people should be like a slowly flowing river. Even if the water is calm, it still has its own beautiful and warm side, without the danger of wild waves.
Only health and peace are the most successful lives.
