By discussing poetry, the two discussed some problems that young people are often confused about through ten letters: love, loneliness, difficulties in life and career, etc. As a result, ten letters have become the best products for future generations to comfort themselves and eliminate their worries.
Some people say that I know these letters are not addressed to me, but whenever I am sad, confused and fragile, I will read them.
Words are powerful, especially words full of wisdom.
In the first letter, Kabus asked Rilke for comments and opinions on his poems. Most people probably didn't answer this question sincerely and attentively. In order to avoid suspicion or protect themselves, most of them are perfunctory. But Rilke's answer surprised me. He wrote in the letter, "No one can give you advice and no one can help you. There is only one way: please go to your heart. Explore the reasons why you write poetry. If I ask myself in the dead of night, do I still have to write? When the answer is yes, keep this impulse and love when you are lonely and noisy, so that the poems written will no longer want to ask others if the poems are good. "
Nothing will affect a person's development more seriously than looking outside and waiting for an answer from the outside world.
In the second letter, Rilke warned Cabos not to expect his reply to be too helpful. Because "fundamentally speaking, it is in that most profound and important thing that we feel indescribable loneliness;" If a person can give advice or even help others, there must be a lot of things between them, and it is useful to have a complete arrangement for everything. "
This reminds me of a counselor. Every soul is unique, and the process of accepting and moving towards differences will produce positive interpersonal relationships.
In the fourth letter, Kabus asked for a solution to reduce his distress. This is also a common idea of many of us. When we encounter troubles, we hope that someone will help us, but we will find that even if there are good people to help us, when we encounter similar problems, we will still be troubled. Besides, there will always be troubles in life, and it is not the ultimate solution to help us only through others. I have to admire this Rilke, who is so wise at the age of 30. His answer surprised me again. He wrote in the letter, "Forgive the lingering doubts in your heart, and try to love those problems that bother you. Don't look for answers, you won't find them, because you can't save them. The important thing is that you must live in everything. Now you have to experience a life full of problems. Maybe one day, unconsciously, you will gradually write a life full of answers. "
To treat life, we should not only expect and trust happiness, but also treat sadness and pain. Only in this way can we fully experience life and understand existence.
In the eighth letter, Habs was distressed by many sorrows in his life. Rilke replied: "The arrival of sadness shows that something new and unfamiliar has come to life. Once these unexpected new things enter our lives, they enter our hearts, disappear in the deepest part of our hearts, dissolve in our blood, sadness has passed, and fate has taken root. You must be as patient as a patient and as confident as a recovered person. You may be both of them at the same time. You should be a doctor who takes care of yourself. "
Get used to it, but never sink. Life is lonely and hard. We should bear the pain, learn to take care of ourselves and have hope.
Borrowing from the last two letters, I hope everyone can take their time:
There is no end to hard life, but there is no end to growth. Live alone and bravely in any ruthless reality!
