From Bing Xin's "Talk about Life".
Original paragraph: Life is neither always happy nor always painful. Happiness and pain are complementary to each other. It means that waterways have to pass through different sides, and trees have to pass through the ever-changing four seasons.
We should be grateful for life when we are happy, and we should be grateful for life when we are in pain. Happiness is exciting, but pain is beautiful. I once read an aphorism, which is that I hope you have enough clouds in your life to create a beautiful dusk.
Extended information:
"Talk about Life" is a "life experience" prose with metaphors, symbols and philosophical implications. It is not only profound and grand in philosophy, vivid and vivid in image, but also concise and sophisticated in writing, like a beautiful "prose poem".
Life is born in nature and eventually returns to nature. It is a process of overcoming difficulties, enjoying happiness, constantly moving forward or growing, and striving for success. Because of the lack of struggle and growth, the real life in reality has turned into a "dead lake" and an "empty shell", so the author dare not talk about the afterlife, nor dare to believe in the afterlife. It emphasizes that we must strive, move forward, and grow in this life.
