Confucius said, "Forty is not confusing". Now I'm over 4 years old, but I'm still confused and often think about life. After a lot of experiences, or emotions, or sadness, or depression, or confusion, or love and hate ... all kinds of feelings, contradictions, ups and downs in the chest, often when troubles are mixed, they go to study for relief. What is life? What is life for? Suddenly I found Lin Yutang's "Life is just like this" on the bookshelf. What is "just like this"? Let's see how his old man sees through the world of mortals. Because it is right in my heart, I will read diligently, read and close the book, be happy, suddenly, and be relieved-life should be like this: enjoy!
life should be enjoyable.
when it comes to enjoyment, it's natural to associate it with getting something for nothing, enjoying the success, or not making progress, eating, drinking and having fun. But the enjoyment in this book is different.
learn to enjoy nature in life.
people themselves are a part of nature, born of natural people, and after a lifetime, no matter whether it is all-powerful, humble or humble, it will eventually turn into a wisp of smoke or a ruin and return to nature. So since it is natural, we should blend into nature and fully enjoy everything that nature has given us.
Lin Yutang is a person who has a natural taste and enjoys it very much. He always hates living in buildings, because he thinks that it is not a house for human beings to live in. But for a while, he decided to rent a foreign house. He wrote: "The reason why I moved to that floor is because there is a deserted garden behind the house, with fallen trunks and green ponds. It looks like foliage and birds. Later, he moved back to the people's house. He said that around his house, there was plenty of soil, stepping on the ground, kicking rubble, listening to frogs chirping cicadas, raising a turtle, watching toads eat mosquitoes, watching spiders spin webs, and raising a pigeon to lay eggs. Haha, it's a wonderful animal world. He said that it is more intimate and meaningful for his children to observe the principle of natural selection and survival of the fittest in this garden than to read nature textbooks in school.
He often goes sightseeing for summer vacation and fishing at sea to fully enjoy everything that nature has given us.
He said, "Nature itself is always a sanatorium." It can cure many human diseases, such as arrogance, mutual resentment, and intrigue, and can make people want to get rid of stupid ambitions and unnecessary troubles. He also wrote: "If a person can connect with great things in nature, his heart will really become great."
Yes, we can regard the tropical clouds on the horizon as the background of a stage, the mountain forest as a private garden, the roaring waves as a concert, the breeze on the mountain as air conditioning, and the magnificent flaming clouds as the greatest drama in the world. In this way, we will become great, as great as the earth and the sky. What a broad realm and fascinating wisdom this is!
I can't help being moved. The majestic mountain, the tender water, the spiritual vegetation and the affectionate birds and animals all became wonderful around me in an instant, so I closed my book and went out to enjoy nature.
The wind in winter is not so cold, but very refreshing. The branches of the bushes along the winding path are unique, holding the snow and reflecting the brilliance. This time, I walked along the path to a small forest that I seldom came to in winter. Ha, there are so many birds. Why didn't I find them before? The birds are really beautiful, or they chirp, or the flute is melodious, or they play like suona, or they turn their hearts, or they are crisp and melodious, flying up and down among the branches, and you chase after me. It's really interesting! Looking at the forest again, the shadows of the trees are sparse, the sun is bright, the sky is blue and the white clouds are fluttering. My heart immediately becomes unobstructed, open and happy, just like Lin Yutang said, "People who can enjoy nature are truly happy, and those who can coordinate with nature are truly happy."
You should fully cherish and enjoy your body in life.
Lin Yutang said: "We have a body, and many things depend on our body. We should take good care of this wonderful machine that repairs itself, and we should enjoy it well."
We all have a healthy limb, but when did we pay attention to it? When did you cherish it? When did you enjoy it? Do we give our limbs full freedom, full exercise and full enjoyment? We have eyes. Have we really observed them well? How many things we turn a blind eye to; We have ears. Are we really listening well? How many wonderful sounds we turn a deaf ear to; We have feet, but how many roads do we really walk down to earth; We have hands, but how much time are we free?
When we see that the editor-in-chief of a French fashion magazine only blinks in his left eye after a stroke, and he uses this eye to write a novel masterpiece, what do we think when we see how the legless and armless man in the United States lives happily?
and when we are old and all the organs are not flexible, what do we want? Let me have a good breath, let me stand up, let me listen to music for a while, let me read a book for a while, let me open my eyes and look at the sun, let me smell the flowers, let me shake your hand again ... When these have become luxuries, life will really never be enjoyed again, but when we can enjoy it to the fullest, where have we taken our bodies?
Life should be enjoyable.
He said, "Being born in this world, the problem we encounter is not what we should aim at and how to achieve this goal, but how to make use of this life and the fifty or sixty years that God has paid him. He should adjust his life so that he can get the greatest happiness in life. "
what have we been doing for decades? The main thing is nothing but work and life. We are working, but what kind of idea, mentality and way are we working? Are we enjoying our work? We live, but what kind of idea, mentality and way do we live? How much fun have we enjoyed in life? We live day by day and live day by day, but are we happy day by day?
I'm really grateful to Mr. Lin for making me suddenly enlightened when I was not confused.
life should be free. Mr. Lin said: "Only with this sense of freedom and indifferent attitude can a person enjoy life deeply and enthusiastically." He once wrote: "For myself, following nature means being in heaven." So we have to learn to enjoy this freedom of life.
In the process of enjoyment, I finished reading Lin Yutang's Life is Nothing More. I deeply realize that life should be enjoyed all the time: enjoying the ecstasy of studying, enjoying the pleasure of acquiring knowledge, enjoying the joy of heart-to-heart conversation, enjoying the joy of infinite fantasy, enjoying the giving and enjoyment of charity ... Only in this way can life be truly happy and will not be wasted. Life is just such a feeling after reading. 2
As a post-9s person, it is still early for me to calm down and carefully read what these senior writers have written with their own experiences and feelings in life and study, and appreciate different lives. I always feel that as a young man, I was born in 199. Later, I said that it would be too deep to look at these "old antiques". Frankly speaking, the teacher assigned a task before going to see Mr. Lin Yutang's works. When I first saw the name "Life is just like this", I thought its content would be the product of ridicule or similar emotions, but after reading it, I realized that Mr. Lin Yutang had been expounding from beginning to end, expounding Mr. Lin's own attitude towards life, an attitude towards life. It's just like chatting and telling a story with you, quietly expounding it, which reminds me of the chic of "washing away the lead and seeing the true heart, and the depths of the world of mortals are not stained with dust".
I dare not say what I think after reading this work. It's just my own rough opinion, I think so. Because this work is like a cup of tea, the longer you taste it, the more you can taste it; Only by reading it several times can you understand the attitude towards life that Mr. Lin Yutang wants to express and turn this joke into your own.
In the book, the editors don't divide the contents into six chapters, namely, "I didn't do anything at the beginning of my life" and "I was only ordinary at that time", and present the classics in different periods of Mr. Lin Yutang's life.
Freud said that memories of childhood will enter your subconscious. It can be seen from the article that the living environment of childhood is unforgettable and particularly important to Mr. Lin Yutang. From the point of view, "among the various infectious forces that have caused me today, what I suffered in my childhood and family is the greatest." My ideas about life, literature and common people are all deeply influenced during this period. ""In a word, what a person needs when he sets out in his life is just a happy childhood-full of family love and beautiful natural environment "and" this experience of being close to nature in childhood is a powerful intellectual and moral backing for my life; 1. Compared with hypocrisy and human snobbery in society, I despise them. If I have some sound ideas and simple thoughts, it is entirely due to the beautiful mountains of Banzai in southern Fujian, because I believe that I still look at life with the eyes of a simple peasant. " "This experience of being close to nature in childhood is a powerful backing for my knowledge and morality all my life; First, compared with the hypocrisy and snobbery in society, it is enough to make me despise it. " You can see. What made his childhood memorable and had an important impact on his life was the green hills of childhood. "In my life, until today, the green hills I used to see and the riverside where I used to pick up stones as a child, all kinds of images are still attached to my mind. They make me laugh when I see all kinds of liars in civilized life, literary life and college life. " "those green hills, if they have no other influence, have at least kept me away from politics, which is already a great contribution." "If I love truth and beauty, it is because I love those green mountains. If I can smile at the isolation, dependence and insincerity of the general gentry class in society, it is also because of those green hills. If I can snicker at the stupidity of being in a high position and the clumsiness of college discussion, it's all because of those green hills. If I realize that I can believe in the happiness and simplicity of rural life with my ancestors, and if I have an instinctive feeling by reading China's poems, and if I hate all kinds of liars, and believe in simple life and noble thoughts, it is always because of those green hills. "
Everyone's childhood will have more or less influence on his later life, because when he learns to receive things from the beginning, those things exist, and it has been deeply rooted in your blood. Later, we grew up all the way, and those things began to grow up with you. Life is just such a feeling after reading 3
I know Lin Yutang from Clouds in Beijing. Life is just so, which is the first time to read his article. It is very special and novel, and it is a kind of comfort and a kind of self-liberation ... In the book, the editors ingeniously divided the contents into "I didn't do anything at the beginning of my life", "If life is just like seeing it at first sight" and "It was ordinary at that time" Mr. Lin Yutang's thoughts and experiences on life are concise, but memorable. In every period of his life, he has a vision and confusion about life. In his words, "be a free and happy person without violating the way of heaven and earth." This is like a play, in which an excellent actor knows its falsehood, but he can express himself more truly, naturally and happily than in real life. Life is the same. The most important thing for us is not to care about truth and falsehood, gain and loss, fame and benefit, expensive and cheap, rich and poor, but how to live happily and find the poetry of life. " I saw his detachment. Can I do it?
Time flies, as if in a flash. Youth is like yesterday's yellow flowers, withered and withered with the thick frost. When the first gray hair appeared, it reminded me that I was no longer young, that youth had passed, and that time never spared anyone. Life is trivial, complicated and busy. Life is like a magic mirror. Before I could deal with it, it suddenly presented its most essential, authentic and boring side to me. To work, to live, to buy food, oil, salt, rice, sauce, vinegar, tea, water, electricity and communication fees ... From children to study, to buying a house, to treating people and welcoming them, every day is a word: Busy! Too busy to attend to one thing and lose sight of another. Tired, it becomes inevitable and becomes a normal state of life. As a result, they are often distressed by the burden of life, but agitated and unhappy, and often give birth to a desire to get rid of it.
After reading Life Is So Much, I have a lot of feelings. Nowadays, many people live very tired and unhappy. In fact, happiness comes from a healthy mind! Happiness comes from satisfying requirements. Some things as long as willing to change a point of view, change the mentality. There will be another scene, as long as you observe and think with a positive attitude, you will find that the fact is far from as bad as you think! Looking at it from another angle, the world will be more beautiful!
Coincidentally, there is a story about a man who lived a very heavy life like us, and waded through mountains and rivers to find a way for the sage to consult for relief. After listening to his distress, the sage brought him a bamboo basket, pointed to a gravel-covered road and said to him, "Every step you take, pick up a stone you like and put it in the basket to see what you will feel in the end."
the man did as the sage told him, but he didn't go far, and the stone was half a basket. The saint asked him how he felt. He said: "The farther you go, the more stones you like, and the heavier the basket." The sage piled a silver beard and smiled and said, "Son, when we first came into this world, we all carried an empty basket. However, as we grow up, we like more and more things. Every step we take, we have to pick up something we like from this world and put it in the basket. As a result, the farther we go, the more things we have in the basket. This is why you feel that the burden of life is getting heavier and heavier. "
The man asked the sage, "How should we lighten the burden of life?" The sage replied, "It's actually very simple to lighten this burden. You only need to take anything from work, love, marriage, family and friendship out of the basket to lighten it." The saint then asked, "Which of these things would you like to take out of the basket without hesitation?" The man was speechless in the face of the sage's heckling.
Yes, what each of us put in the "back basket" is not pure stones, but the love, career, family, marriage, friendship and many others that we have carefully searched for from this world in the course of our lives.
