? Let's read "A Seed" together
"Virtue is never alone, there must be neighbors", "If you bloom, butterflies will come", let's read a book From the very beginning of the book reading exchange, Yutong mother and daughter and our mother and son came and went with each other for questions and answers, arguments and discussions. In the past ten days, Wang Yuxuan and his daughter came, Meng Liru and her daughter came, and Yang Zizhan came. Here we come, Zhang Yujie is here... Everyone reads or appreciates, appreciates or analyzes. There is no "what do I think you should do" or "what do I think you must do" here? Some of the motivations here are to pick up and read if you want to read, some of them are to observe and think quietly, and some of them are to openly talk about feelings and thoughts. We are always acting and experiencing. I will not intrude on your feelings. It doesn’t influence your beliefs, just listen to your feelings quietly and practice them silently with actions. Your feelings will soak through you like rain, slowly nourishing you in your future life.
On the evening of April 7, 2020, we read "A Seed". Discussion and communication issues: First, why do kings, rich men, businessmen, and soldiers plant the same seed but fail to sprout and bloom, while farmers can make the seed sprout and bloom? (Shen Chenzhe) Second, how do kings, rich men, businessmen, soldiers, and farmers treat this special seed? Brief answer. Third, after reading the story, what inspirations did you get?
? The children exchanged their understanding of the questions raised one by one. Some children's seeds are controlled in a small space, lack of freedom, and cannot grow; kings, rich men, businessmen, and soldiers have strong desires and purposes, and want to use the seeds to obtain rewards, but the seeds cannot grow; some children say that plants Growth must comply with the laws of nature and do not rush for success; some children said that the pressure on the seed was too great, breathless, and unable to grow...
Yes, the king, the rich man, and the other in the story Businessmen, soldiers, etc. all had their own purposes, waiting for the seeds to germinate, hoping to use this rare seed to show their supreme power and priceless wealth, and to use it to make a fortune and get promoted, but the seed never came. After the seeds sprouted and blossomed, they were thrown away after they failed to achieve their purpose, and the seeds were abandoned. The farmer cultivated this lovely seed just like he cultivated other seeds. He was sincere and waited patiently. The seed sprouted and bloomed as scheduled. Isn’t the desire of a seed just to sprout and blossom? It does not want to be a tool for kings, rich men, businessmen, and soldiers to show off to others. It is just a seed. All it wants is sufficient sunshine, suitable temperature, appropriate amount of water, and hard work. Once we have a purpose and give too many expectations, we may increase the burden on the seed. How can it be easier to travel lightly? If you compare seeds to people, although you are in a superior environment, enjoying high treatment and meticulous care, what you lack is free development, what will you do?
Meng Liru and her daughter talked about human emotions based on their understanding of the article, and said why negative emotions occur. Many times it is because of dashed hopes and bad moods that lead to negative emotions. Yes, "It's a surprise to be favored or disgraced, a surprise to be gained, and a surprise to be lost." In fact, if you think about it, most human suffering is due to unrealistic expectations and demands. However, there are so many necessary things in life, too many unnecessary expectations, and too many face-saving life. Life is very hard and unnecessary. Worth it.
Why is there "if life is just like the first meeting", the first meeting has no purpose, no use, it is all blank, you can do whatever you want! Just like we all gather here to study every day, I think everyone is willing to do it without forcing others to do anything, because this is not a task, there is no test, there is no purpose, and no scores are required. Aimlessness is the happiest, most relaxing, and most free. "Reading without utilitarianism, happiness without purpose" is probably our state.
