There are too many so-called smart people in this world, but there are very few people who are as wise as they are foolish.
Many times, the appearance we see with our eyes may not be the truth, and some things will become boring if they are too clear.
There is no pain in life, but if you understand it too well, it will give rise to pain. This is a bit contradictory, just like a novel magic trick. When you see the answer to the riddle and everything is so simple, you can't arouse the competitive spirit of seeking.
We say that someone is very smart and cannot tolerate sand in his eyes. In fact, sometimes, being appropriately confused and leaving room for others also leaves a way out for ourselves. We not only understand this world, but also have a certain mind, just like the couplet of Maitreya : A big belly can tolerate things that are difficult to tolerate in the world, and smile at the ridiculous people in the world when you open your mouth.
Many times, you don’t tell the truth when you see through it, and you don’t tell the truth when you see through it. As the saying goes, you should leave a thin line in life so that we can meet each other easily in the future. Some things are not matters of principle, so there is no need to make others unable to step down. That's a really smart move.
Why we were happy when we were young is because we were carefree and did not have too many complicated worries. Later, as we grew up, we understood a lot, but our happiness became less and less.
I was young and frivolous, and I spoke freely, but later I realized that the real rare thing in life is confusion.
A smart wise man will laugh off some troubles in the world and just "pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and see the southern mountains leisurely" at ease and casually without worrying too much.
Life is a practice. Some things are taken too seriously. In fact, it is difficult for oneself to live with. Some trivial matters are wasted on some trivial things, which is a waste of good years.
People's power in this world is limited. Most people are ordinary. Only by accepting changes, accepting nature, adjusting their mentality, understanding the overall situation, being graceful, and knowing how to advance and retreat can they achieve spiritual practice in this life.
Things in the world are unpredictable, and no one can see what their future will look like. Some things cannot be controlled, so just control your mood and just let things happen. Only then can you cultivate happy merits.
The true maturity of a person is not what you see clearly, but what you see clearly, and you can still laugh it off as if nothing happened.
As the saying goes, only when you really see things clearly will you take things lightly.
Just like Mr. Jin Yong ’s novel martial arts concept in the novel: No sword is better than a sword! : "After the age of forty, you will not be sluggish with things. Plants, trees, bamboos and stones can be used as swords. From then on, you will practice intensively and gradually reach the state where no sword is better than having a sword."
It is good to have the world in your heart and an inch in your hand. Why bother to be obsessed with true and false, right and wrong. As the saying goes, let go of one thought and everything will be at ease.
A person should be sophisticated but not worldly, know everything but not talk about everything, and know how to be diplomatic but not tactful. In complex interpersonal relationships, develop a broad mind and gain a free life.
