Here, Sisyphus's futility is happy. The living sees the living, and he pushes not only the stones on the ground, but also the roses in the sky. True compassion, besides sacrificing for all beings, also includes self-realization.
In this world, some wonderful things can't be explained, just as I can't explain why I miss a snowy morning and dusk.
Life is like borrowing, but fortunately it is fun. Music is the most wonderful thing I have ever experienced on earth, and those beautiful notes have been nourishing and enriching me spiritually. Those loneliness, sacrifice and joy from the depths of the soul directly lead to human divinity rather than love, and this divinity is based on the passion for beauty in the hearts of Tibetans.
Writer Lu Qiao recorded his life in The National SouthWest Associated University in Weiyang Song:
See the rain scene during the day, see her coming through the wind and mountains, and see her coming in an avalanche. Look at her sweeping the oblique leaves of pine trees and shaking the tall trunk of eucalyptus trees. Look at her again and let her go. Listen to the rain in the middle of the night, listen to the rain in the distance, and listen to the rain in the vicinity. There are springs in the mountains and water in front of the house. Rain falling on cabbage, rain falling on sand, rain knocking on paper windows and rain hitting bananas should be separated. We should use the rain like gauze to filter out our thoughts, and use the sudden rain to urge out the profound and magnificent flowers of our thoughts. More importantly, it is necessary to calm the restless soul with continuous drizzle.
Because of this, the world has such a splendid and warm life. Life is worth looking forward to, and peace is meaningful.
The most difficult thing to conquer in this world is that there are people who pursue beauty inside.
When a person has a sense of responsibility for his relatives or unfinished business, he will not give up his ability and life easily.
Everyone has a watershed between good and evil in his heart. What he finally did depends on his personal choice, not just environmental coercion.
People don't have to be reasonable all the time. The best truth is life itself. So it's better to sing than to be sad.
We didn't come to this world for the so-called progress of the times. Even a person who fights tigers in the mountains will appreciate the scenery along the way.
The so-called growth is to constantly meet your ideal self. This self is not waiting for you in the distant future, but is deeply hidden in your happiness, just waiting for the strong wind of time and opportunity to blow away the dust above.
A person's personal struggle to realize his own interests is not only glorious, but also can shape the soul.
True compassion is also a two-way fulfillment for people and themselves, and neither ignores the suffering of others nor shirks one's responsibilities in life. The poet Sin Posca said that a person can climb a hill and hold his breath, but he can't grow branches and grow into a bush like a rose, because only a rose can bloom like a rose, and everyone can only bloom in his own way.
Born as a man, you can only live in a time and space that you can still control, thus changing the fate of individuals and even the times. Lv Kun, a thinker in the Ming Dynasty, said, "If you die, I will die. Who can die if you don't die? " ?
Borges said, I don't write for fame, nor for specific readers, but for the passage of time to make me feel at ease.
The world gives me the greatest compassion, that is, I have no identity except people, and I know nothing but beauty. Don't alienate anyone, only you spend your life with yourself. What I can give back to the world is to live a real life with a few seeds of compassion and roses.
Roman Roland said that when I come to the end of my life, I will say, bless you and rest quietly! Rest in peace, my head! Rest in peace, my feet! You have all worked hard, and the road you have traveled is hard and bumpy, but in any case, it is a beautiful road. On that road, even one step of blood is worth it.
Nietzsche said that people who hit monsters should be careful not to become monsters. When you look into the abyss, the abyss looks into you.
I hope that in the years to come, you will encounter injustice from time to time. Only in this way can you understand the value of justice. I hope you taste betrayal, so that you can realize the importance of loyalty. I hope you have bad luck once in a while, so that you will realize the role of opportunity in your life and understand that your success is not born, and others' failures are not predestined. When you fail occasionally, I hope your opponent will gloat from time to time and let you understand the importance of mutual respect and competitive spirit. I hope you will be ignored, so that you will know the importance of listening to others. I also hope that you will suffer enough and learn compassion.
This is the blessing given by the Chief Justice of the United States, john roberts, to the graduates of his son 16 years old in July, 2007. Anyway, I wish you misfortune and pain.
The bright toughness of a diamond can be polished perfectly, but it will not grow and reproduce. In contrast, as Nasbaum thinks, people are actually more like a vine eager for prosperity, which will thrive among smart and just people and reach the clear blue sky. As vines, people should also face up to their fragility and incompleteness and embrace those rich emotions, including pain, anger, shame and disgust. !
Crowds can help me find my way, but they can't help me find beauty. I am a social butterfly far away from the crowd, and I am actually happier when I am alone.
Oscar Wilde said, you just need to be yourself, because others have already done it.
A truly free society means that people have both positive freedom, such as the freedom to say no, and negative freedom, such as the freedom not to say. However, the worst situation in today's society may be because of the existence of the above two syndromes. We should not strive for the positive freedom we should strive for, and we should not defend the negative freedom we should defend. On the contrary, the best state is that the brave preach positive freedom and the weak defend negative freedom. The two are added instead of subtracted.
Carnegie said that it is shameful for a person to die with great wealth.
What people can have forever is nothing more than personal experiences, feelings and ideas, which constitute the foundation of our existence. All we have is existence itself. Reading a book, listening to a song, watching a play, talking with people or going out for a long trip are all aimed at enriching your inner lasting privacy, which is a self-sufficient and uncontroversial privacy that no one can take away.
What I have is what I have experienced.
About life
Romain rolland once wrote in john christopher that most people have died in their twenties and thirties, and they have become their own shadows, repeating their former selves constantly. Indeed, many people died at the age of 20 and were buried at the age of 80. This seems mean, but it is actually very meaningful. In China, how many people think that 30 years old determines the overall situation of life? In the United States, people in their 70s are still running for president and starting companies, as if life has just begun.
I believe that a person's life is a process in which the body goes downhill and the soul goes uphill, but I have reached the end of time. I hope every moment of my life has every understanding, and every year has every river.
No matter where you are, no matter what your current position is, what matters is your own mentality, not what you care about most. If you really decide to devote yourself to a certain industry or career, you should be serious, you should be compassionate, and you should be kind to your choice.
Reading is to enjoy other people's thinking, but also to stimulate their own thinking.
Oscar Wilde said that there are two tragedies in life, one is not getting what you want, and the other is getting what you want.
Pessimistic reason
No pessimism is dangerous, just like a car without brakes. In a society full of positive energy, when someone advises you not to be pessimistic, he may just ask you not to have self-esteem and put down your reason to be his optimistic slave.
May kindness be my first and last refuge. Let those who cannot write today write for the future.
Parents have the responsibility to discover and defend their children's talents, and talented people also have the responsibility to defend their own talents.
There is no first in literature, and no second in martial arts. Talent may not bring you wealth, but it can certainly become your greatest interest and comfort in life. You have to believe that your talent belongs to you, and it is small enough to hold the whole universe.
The soul of education
I quite agree with the view of the German philosopher Jaspers in What is Education. The essence of education is that a tree shakes another tree, a cloud pushes another cloud, and a soul awakens another soul. Jaspers believes that the essence of education is free generation, not indoctrination and oppression.
Hesse has a very good saying that no book in the world can bring you good luck, but they can make you become yourself quietly.
What is a good education? I think there are three main points, one is the cultivation of soul, the other is the cultivation of thinking and the third is the cultivation of strength.
We came to this world, no one is a vassal of anyone, everyone is an independent individual with his own interest, thinking and soul. Education is not to complete the slavery of the previous generation to the next generation, but to give the next generation more creativity and freedom. Education is not to realize the ideals of the previous generation, but to let the next generation find their own ideals and have a chance to realize them.
True education is when one beam of light meets another. True education is not oppression, but enrichment.
Don't waste your time on unnecessary things. Even if you sail the Titanic, you are doomed to sink.
Complete your own agenda, do your own thing with peace of mind, don't follow the crowd, and don't sow the desolation of life in the excitement day after day.
American anthropologist margaret mead said, Never doubt that a small group of loyal and thoughtful citizens can change the world. Indeed, this is the only unchanging truth. "Without a high-quality elite, there would be no American Constitutional Convention and the final American Constitution. If there were high-quality elites, China society would have walked out of the historical cycle of regime change.
Tosstorff, said, I only worry about one thing, that is, I'm afraid I don't deserve my suffering.
