1. The process of returning life
It cannot be imagined that the Coliseum of ancient Rome needs to be rebuilt, the ancient city of Pompeii needs to be rebuilt, Angkor Wat in Cambodia needs to be rebuilt, and the Mayan cultural sites need to be rebuilt. . It is just as unimaginable that ancient bronzes from distant times need to be polished, unearthed broken halberds need to be nickel-plated, Song edition books need to be sculpted, and the Han Dynasty old lady in Mawangdui needs skin grafting to enlarge her breasts and apply heavy makeup. As long as history does not stop and time does not go backwards, everything will age. Let's be old when we are old, and peacefully hand over to the world a kind and beautiful look. Pretending to be innocent is the cruelest form of self-destruction. A grandmother without wrinkles is terrible, an old man without white hair is regrettable; life without ruins is too tiring, the land without ruins is too crowded, and the act of covering up ruins is too hypocritical.
Return history to truth and life to process.
——This is the great wisdom of mankind. Of course, not all ruins are worth preserving, otherwise the earth would be scarred. Ruins are envoys sent by ancient times to live in modern times, which have been selected and filtered by history. The ruins are the feats that our ancestors once carried out, gathering the power and essence of that time. The ruins are a magnetic field, one pole is ancient and the other is modern, and the compass of the soul is strongly induced here. If the magnetism is lost, the life of the ruins will be lost, and it will soon be eliminated by people.
2. Have some respect
In this world, some people believe in God and some do not. They are divided into theists and atheists, religious people and lay people. . However, this distinction is not very important. There is another distinction that is much more important than this, that is, some people believe in holiness, and some people do not. This is how people distinguish between noble and despicable people.
A person can not believe in God, but he cannot not believe in divinity. Whether you believe in God, Buddha, Allah, or any other mysterious power that governs the universe often depends on the national tradition, cultural background, and personal special experience to which an individual belongs. It even depends on some kind of personal mystical experience. This is not forced. . A person without these religious beliefs can still be a kind person. However, if one does not believe in any sacred value in the world and does whatever he wants without any taboos, then such a person is no different than an animal.
People who believe in the divine are in awe. In his mind, there are always some things that are fundamental to being a human being and cannot be blasphemed. It is not that he is afraid of being punished, but that he refuses to lose his basic personality. No matter how full of desires he has in life, he always understands that once his personality is ruined and he loses his self-confidence and dignity as a human being in front of himself, then the satisfaction of all desires cannot save his life from complete failure.
On the contrary, the kind of person who is unafraid never reflects on himself in terms of personality. If it is said that "knowing shame is close to courage", then this kind of person will show a kind of cowardly and presumptuous because of his lack of shame. As long as he is not punished, he dares to trample on any good things, including love, friendship, and honor, without any uneasiness in his heart. No matter how many romantic encounters such people have, they are unable to truly love once; no matter how many buddies they make, they cannot appreciate the purity of friendship; no matter how much fame they gain, they do not know what glory is. Those who do not believe in the divine will be abandoned by all sacred things in the world.
3. God only controls half of it
From the moment you were born, you were destined to go back. The twists and turns, the smoothness and joy in between are your destiny. Destiny is always with you, every moment. Don't be in awe of its mystery, although sometimes it is unfathomable; don't be afraid of its impermanence, although sometimes it comes and goes without a trace.
Don't surrender to the whims of fate and let it be at its mercy. When you are old and look back on the past, you will realize that half of your destiny is in your hands, and only the other half is in God's hands. Your life is all about using what you have to get what God has.
The more extraordinary your efforts are, the greater the half you hold in your hands, and the more abundant you will gain. When you are completely desperate, don't forget that you own half of your destiny; when you are carried away, don't forget that God still has half of your destiny. Your life's work is to use half of yourself to get half of God's hand. This is the destiny of life; this is the destiny of life.
4. Relaxation of the mind
Life is one’s own non-transferable patent.
The process of life is the process of time consumption. In the face of time, even the greatest people have no power to reverse it; we cannot buy or sell; we can only choose and use.
Therefore, cherishing life means cherishing time and making the best use of time. Due to the strong emergence of this consciousness in me, I consume myself more and more stingily.
I try to choose a relaxed lifestyle, so I advocate and write light poetry. The lightness I am talking about does not mean pure game life and enjoyment, but the pursuit of spiritual relaxation and freedom, and living a life of self-relaxation. And this feeling will lead to behavioral choices that are more humane and unrestrained. If a person lives very tiredly, the people and society around him will also feel very tired. If I can benefit others and groups, it is because I can release this relaxed atmosphere and make others feel happy when they are with me (no matter how short).
Only relaxation can make people live a worthwhile life and make the whole world harmonious. Evil cannot be cured by evil.
For us descendants of the loess land, the ancient civilization and long history have burdened us enough, and the complex reality and interpersonal relationships have made us tired enough.
I am willing to use lightness to deal with seriousness, and lightness to deal with tiredness. For myself, no matter whether I am in a good situation or a bad situation, I can find self-relaxation, neither being burdened by fame or fortune nor suffering from bad circumstances. For the people around me, when I appear in front of them, I can bring them the relaxation they need, thereby adding to or alleviating the joy and pain in their lives.
Of course, this is also a wish I have in a very narrow world. Being restricted by society and worldliness, I know very well that -
Pursuing a relaxed lifestyle, in At certain times and in certain aspects, a heavy price may be paid.
5. Missing
I often miss some people for no reason.
When I think of some people, I always feel that my life is cut into segments, and each segment is connected with some people. Without these people, life seems to be pale and poor, without a solution. But it’s not just friends. Some people who are not friends and have to be in contact with them, and even some people who hate them, often think of them. Therefore, life can be broken down into this: some people are separated by the people you love. ;Some are divided by people you hate; some are divided by people you don't care whether you love or hate. Your life has been broken down by these three types of people. You miss them over the long years, so you feel that your life is real and abundant.
The faint longing is unknown, with the emotional color of the past, either love or hate, thick or light, long or short. When you miss someone, you feel that there is some inexplicable trembling deep in your heart, looming, rising and sinking. You want to hold on to them tightly, but they are fleeting.
When you miss the people who have passed through your life, all love and hate are cast with a faint halo. When you look at them through the halo, love and hate turn into a kind of deep and broad joy of experiencing life.
6. Not too much is needed.
I passed by the flower shop that day. He noticed my love for yellow roses and gave me a bouquet the next day.
But for some reason, I always think about the one in the flower shop window, and I always feel that this bunch is not as beautiful and lovely as that one.
One day, I playfully asked him: "Do you really love me?" In fact, as long as he said the word "love", I would be satisfied, but he not only said "love", but also I talked endlessly about many reasons for love. Listen, listen, am I distracted?
There is no need for too much! People sometimes really don’t have to get or hear a lot. A flower, a green leaf, a knowing smile, a ray of tenderness, a little sincerity, a concerned greeting, and a sympathetic regret can make us enjoy fragrant tea and drink sweet wine.
As long as a pair of warm hands stretch out to me when I am mentally and physically exhausted, I can use this helping hand to get out of the predicament;
As long as there is a kind understanding person when I am distressed. With good friends by my side, I can express all my worries and seek spiritual relief;
As long as there is a faint ray of setting sun on the horizon when I am depressed, it can illuminate my confused eyes. . As long as you don't expect too much - from friends, from love, especially from life. Do you remember? How focused we were on designing a wonderful future, how carefully we painted a colorful future. However, even though we were so stubborn, so pious, and so tenacious in waiting, life took on another aspect that we had never expected. present in front of you.
No need to overthink it! As long as we are serious about being a human being and living seriously every moment.
7. Chaimen of Happiness
If the door to happiness is a magnificent door, we have no reason to stop; but if the door to happiness is a simple door What should we do with a simple or even shabby wooden door? We have come a long way, with our longing, desire and tireless pursuit of happiness, as well as with sweat, scars and the dust of the journey. The vicissitudes of life have not been washed away, the tears have not been wiped dry, and our muddy feet are climbing up the stairs. , staring at Chaimen, who is definitely not happy in his dreams, will his hot heart suddenly cool down? Will disappointment wash over you?
I will never withdraw my hand from knocking. The passage of time, the intertwining of joys and sorrows, and the setbacks of fate have made me deeply understand what is the most cherished treasure in life. As long as happiness lives inside, it doesn't matter the simple wood door or the simple thatched hut! A happy smile never loses its bright light due to status. I traveled across mountains, rivers and deserts to pursue happiness itself, not the golden bottle in front of the happiness seat or the precious staff in my hand. Happiness is more precious than gold, this is the truth that life has taught me.
8. Fate
Sometimes, just one or two steps can change a person's life. This is fate.
Many times, I always think, if I had not chosen this path at that time, what if? The ending would often be very different. Yes, we lost a lot, but we also gained a lot! Just like life and death, gain and loss are always twin brothers.
When we lose something, it also means we have something else.
This is fate. One day at a certain moment, I walked out of the door and came to a certain tree. At this time, a gust of wind blew and a fallen leaf floated, which led to a poem. Everything is natural. Just like the Buddhist "Zen", it cannot be dwelled on.
This is fate. Many years ago, I passed through an unknown town and went to a hotel. The owner's appearance was so ordinary that I could never forget it, but he treated people well. I slept soundly that night, and at dawn the next day, I took the bus and continued on my way. Maybe I will never go to that town again or see that shopkeeper again in this life, but those lights, that town, the hotel and the shopkeeper? These incomplete and beautiful memories constitute the largest imagination space in my life. .
This is fate. My girlfriend who I have been in love with for a long time suddenly broke up with her. The reason is very simple: I have no luck in this life. Then relieved. In this huge world, there will always be a girl who loves you, and there will always be a love that belongs to you. What more can we ask for?
This is fate. A combination of circumstances, joys and sorrows, constitutes our life. While losing, we often gain a lot invisibly. Because it is hard to come by, you should cherish it. There is nothing in this world worth complaining about. Because, this is fate!
9. Peace
I believe that our inner peace and the happiness we get in life do not depend on where we are, nor on what we have, nor on what we have. It does not depend on what kind of person we are, but only on the state reached by our soul. Here, external factors have little to do with it.
Some 300 years ago, when Milton lost his sight, he discovered this truth: “The exercise of thought, and thought itself, can turn hell into heaven, or heaven into hell. ”
Taking the lives of Napoleon and Helen Keller as examples, we can prove how correct Milton’s words are: Napoleon had everything that ordinary people dream of-glory, power, wealth, etc., but But he said to Saint Helena: "I have never had a happy day in my life." And Helen Keller was a blind, deaf and mute disabled person, but she said: "How beautiful life is. !"
I have lived for more than 50 years. If you ask me what I have learned in life, then my answer is: "No one and nothing can bring you peace except yourself. . ”
10. Three elements of happiness
A happy life has three indispensable factors: First, there is hope. The second is to have something to do. The third is to be able to love others.
There is hope. Alexander the Great once showed his generosity by sending a large number of gifts. He gave A a large sum of money, B a province, and C a high official. After his friend heard about this, he said to him: "If you keep doing this, you will be penniless." Alexander replied: "How can I be penniless? What I left for myself is the greatest gift. "What I have left is my hope." If a person only lives in memories and loses hope, his life has begun to end. Memories cannot inspire us to live vigorously. Memories can only allow us to escape, like prisoners escaping from prison.
Something to do. An old British woman wrote the following poem when she was seriously ill and knew her time was running out: Don't have mercy on me now, don't have mercy on me ever, I will never work again, never again. Many people have experienced times when they are unemployed or have nothing to do, and they feel that life is passing slowly and that life is very empty. Anyone who has had this experience will know that having a job is not a misfortune, but a blessing.
Can love people. The poet Browning once wrote: "He glanced at her, she looked back at him and smiled, and life suddenly came to life." With love in life, we will become radiant, humble, and energetic, and new hope will arise spontaneously. , it seems that there are thousands of things waiting for us to complete. With love, life has spring, and the world becomes colorful.
The most perfect prayer should be: "Lord, please help me have the strength to help others.
