I borrowed money in Lincang last night, because I felt that the old debt was not paid back and the new debt was heavy. What will this life be like? Think about it, you must be plain (note), don't haggle over every ounce. "Wealth is not slutty, poverty is not fun, and men are heroes here." However, this heart is extremely difficult, and I dare not hesitate. Poverty can also be happy, then wealth is not obscene! Poor and rich, happy but not lewd, should always add police beam, how many people in ancient and modern times, really? !
(Note) Follow the prime position: the doctrine of the mean tells the truth. Sue, Nagano, now. Position, position, opportunity, situation. Line, behavior, countermeasure. It means that no matter what the situation and status, people should act according to reason and common sense.
General idea:
I went out to borrow food from the temporary warehouse at night, remembering that the old debts had not been repaid and there were new debts. How am I supposed to live this life? ! After a while, it suddenly occurred to me that people should still be content with their own destiny and don't care about the injustice of life. When you are rich, you are not corrupt and have no pleasure. When you are poor, you can keep an optimistic heart. A man is a real hero when he reaches this level! However, it is extremely difficult to maintain this mentality and achieve it, but I dare not study hard and dare not try to maintain this mentality. If you can be optimistic when you are poor, then once this person is rich, he will not be extravagant, corrupt and dissolute! The relationship between poverty and wealth, optimism and self-denial should be constantly reminded, warned and restrained. Throughout the ages, how many people can reach this level? !
Comments:
After reading this passage, my nose is a little sour. It is really sad that the life of an ancient literati is so difficult and embarrassing. Maybe this is why nostalgia is aroused. I seem to see a person standing alone, wandering, stumbling, walking on a country road, carrying a newly borrowed grain, slowly walking home.
Any self-respecting person is ashamed of this dilemma that old debts have not been repaid and new debts have been added. Between the lines of the author, we can easily hear the author's heart pounding with shame.
However, for a person who already has a life goal and a learning direction, how to properly handle the mentality in trouble is the most critical. Wu and Bi were not overwhelmed by the weight of life, but chose an optimistic, philosophical and free-spirited attitude to cope with the weight of life and spend their poor academic time. And further realize that only those who live in poverty and happiness will become real rich men without lewdness.
This passage still has profound practical significance today. Especially for those poor and ambitious college students, how to spend the most precious and difficult years in life? Very enlightening. Just like saints Wu and Bi, we should adjust our mentality, "do whatever we want", understand the status quo and accept it, instead of complaining and acting rashly. Optimism is more important than anything else to face the real dilemma and maintain an optimistic attitude and a sound psychological personality. More importantly, don't lose your goal in life, don't be confused by worldly dust, and disturb your upward heart.
But it is also very difficult for ordinary people to do this, because too many temptations, too many challenges, insufficient determination and poor control will shake their previous positions and lose their previous goals. It is light to be a person who goes with the flow and has no opinion, but it leads to psychological and social obstacles and wastes himself. Ma Jiajue used to be a good boy, but he just didn't handle his mentality well under the great changes of the environment, distorted himself and finally destroyed himself. This is a tragedy.
Be a sober and optimistic person when you are poor, and you will keep a strong and sober heart when you are prosperous.
Wu and Bi pointed out a way for us to be a man and learn. Also said a life motto:
Wealth is not slutty, poverty is not happy, and men are heroic here!
