"Keeping Children Away from Anxiety" Contents copied from today's book: Why does a person become anxious? Buddhism talks about anxiety very well, and I particularly like the explanations in Buddhism. What is anxiety? Anxiety is a resistance to impermanence. Everyone knows about impermanence and everyone believes in impermanence. Things in this world are beyond your control. Something will always happen suddenly and impermanence will happen. But you know that impermanence will happen, and you are still resisting impermanence in your heart. You say it is best not to happen, or it is best not to happen to me. This is when your anxiety will arise.
Of course, this is the Buddhist interpretation. What is the psychological explanation? Anxiety is a brain dysfunction. In layman’s terms, anxiety is a very intense emotional state. When people face uncertain situations, they are unable to predict the outcome of events. Anxiety arises when they are not sure whether their choice is correct. In fact, in the words of you young people, it is entanglement, and serious entanglement is anxiety. Should I do this or not? Gotta do it. Should it be done this way or that way?
In fact, from a Buddhist perspective, your cause and effect has already determined what you will do, so as long as you live each day seriously, the next thing will happen. You will choose to work or go to graduate school, which are both the best choices. There is no if, because there are no parallel lines in life, life is a one-way line. Of course, my statement is invalid for ordinary parents and children.
