Someone asked this question on the Internet: "How do people live to live a good life?" There is a praiseworthy answer in the comments of
: "Living is simple!"
Think carefully and feels that it makes sense.
Life is short, and if you want to live a good life, you must have a simple heart.
Only when the heart is simple can life be perfect.
After half of his life, he suddenly realized that the simplest way to live a person is: don’t compare, don’t worry, or pretend to be confused.
Not comparing with
The ancients said: "A's honey, B's arsenic."
As a person, there is no need to envy other people's lives.
No matter how good other people's lives are, they may not be suitable for you.
I once saw this story:
An angel went to the world to deliver a letter, but fell asleep in the world. After waking up, he found that the wings on his back had been stolen, and without wings meant that he had lost the angel's ability.
Angel had no choice but to squat on the side of the road and cry. At this time, a shepherd passed by and saw that he was pitiful and took him home.
The shepherd made a hot meal for him and gave him warm clothes to wear. When he learned about the angel's experience, he said to the angel, "If there is no place to go, then shepherd the sheep with me." After
, the angel worked with the shepherd, helping the flock to combed the wool every day, and there would always be some wool left behind. After years of accumulation, the angel used the accumulated wool to weave a pile of wings for himself, and flew back to heaven under the gaze of the shepherd.
A few days later, in order to repay the kindness of the shepherd, the angel came to the world and asked the shepherd: "What do you want to live?"
The shepherd said, "The neighbor has more sheep than me, so you can add one hundred sheep to me!"
After saying that, there were one hundred more sheep in the sheep pen, but the shepherd was even more tired than before. So he found the angel and begged the angel to take back the sheep and let him build a house that was even more luxurious than his neighbor's house. The angel accepted his wish.
As a result, the shepherd lived in a luxurious house and found that there was dust everywhere and he could not clean it up at all.
Seeing that the neighbor had a horse, he and Tian used the house to change to a horse. When he rode on the horse, he didn't know where he was going, so he asked the angel to take it back.
Angel asked him, "Do you want anything else?"
"I no longer need anything you can give me. Having too many things that do not belong will become a burden, and it is better to be content and happiness." The shepherd replied!
As the saying goes, "If you want to give up, you will gain only if you give up."
A greedy person is like a bottomless pit in his heart. If he blindly invests in what he desires, he will sooner or later become a tragedy.
As a human being, don’t compare, know how to be content and always be happy, do what you should do, give up what you should give up, and you will naturally have fewer worries. Only then will life be smoother and smoother.
Don’t worry
As the saying goes, “Let go of one thought and be at ease.”
In this life, people have too many complaints and entanglements in their hearts. If they have too many obsessions, they will fall into the vortex of emotions, which will cause all kinds of disasters.
There is a rich man who carries a heavy burden and embarks on a journey of finding happiness.
However, he has never found happiness through thousands of mountains and rivers. So he rested at the foot of the mountain in disappointment.
At this time, a woodcutter walked down from the mountain with a large bundle of firewood on his back. The rich man asked the woodcutter: "I spared no effort to find happiness thousands of miles away, but I have not found happiness yet. Please tell me where happiness is?"
The woodcutter put down the heavy firewood, wiped the sweat on his body, straightened his waist and said, "Happiness is actually very simple, just like I just put down the heavy firewood on my back. Isn't it happiness?"
After listening, the rich man suddenly realized. It turns out that I have carried too much treasure along the way, and I am afraid of being robbed by the robbers at all times. I am worried all day long and don’t know where happiness comes from.
The simple word "let go" reveals the obsession of countless people.
Buddha said: "Suffering is not suffering, happiness is not happiness, it is just a momentary obsession."
I feel unhappy, it is nothing more than that I can't let go of things on my back. Over time, I have put myself in too much load.
people are like this. They have what they have, but they don’t know how to cherish, and they never forget what they have, and they will be trapped in obsession and cannot extricate themselves.
Many people are like this. They can only remember what they can easily get, but they can’t cherish what they can’t get, so they have troubles and can’t extricate themselves.
Life is like a journey. Only by constantly letting go and absorbing more beautiful scenery can life be relaxed and comfortable.
Life is long, only by learning to let go can you bring out the value in your life.
pretend to be confused
"Laozi" once wrote: "Great wisdom is like foolishness, great skill is like clumsy."
True wisdom is not about being open-minded, but about not revealing it.
During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a man named Yang Xiu . He was a person who was debauchery and often acted clever in front of others.
On weekdays, Yang Xiu often speculates about the thoughts of Cao Cao and also expresses his opinions on Cao Cao, which makes Cao Cao very dissatisfied.
Once, Cao Cao was defeated repeatedly in Hanzhong. It was difficult for Ma Chao to advance before, but later he wanted to withdraw his troops and was worried about being ridiculed.
At this time, a general came to ask for the password. Cao Cao happened to find that there was a chicken rib in the soup, so he blurted out the word "香香".
After Yang Xiu learned about it, he ordered all soldiers to organize their luggage and retreat.
A general saw the soldiers packing up, so he found Yang Xiu to ask the reason. However, Yang Xiu said, "Chicken ribs are tasteless, and it's a pity to throw them away."
Later, Cao Cao went out to inspect. Seeing this, he was furious and immediately executed Yang Xiu in the name of disturbing the morale of the army.
A true wise man usually pretends to be confused and observes everything behind his back.
Only when you are smart and don’t show your strength.
Confused is a kind of tactfulness and a kind of foresight.
In the second half of life, pretend to be confused and have a simple mind, so that you can avoid detours.
Conclusion
Someone said: "People have no way to choose their own origins, but they can choose their own way of living."
deeply agrees.
People are born without the right to choose the beginning, but the process and ending in their lives are in their own hands.
If you don’t compete, you will not be troubled; if you don’t worry, you can live freely; if you pretend to be confused, you will be perfect.
People live for a lifetime. Even though there are too many unsatisfactory things, the journey of life is still moving forward. Instead of letting yourself live in pain, it is better to simply live.
The happiness of life is very simple. Live simply. The simpler the more you are, the happier you are.
