Yang Jiang In "A Feelings of One Hundred Years", Mr. Yang Jiang said:
"In this world where material desires are rampant, being a human being is really suffering."
Buddhism believes that all sentient beings suffer, and divides suffering into birth, old age, illness, death, love separation, meeting with enemies and hate, not getting what you want, five aggregates, etc. Eight sufferings . To summarize the eight sufferings of life in Buddhism, they are nothing more than physical suffering and spiritual suffering.
Physical suffering is an objective natural law that everyone has to face and bear. Physical suffering is born and will never stop until death.
Spiritual suffering is a subjective feeling in the spirit, the consciousness and feelings caused by the gap between desire and reality arising from physical pain. It is precisely because of spiritual suffering that the human emotional world is rich and colorful.
Throughout history, human beings have been constantly exploring and striving to alleviate suffering and to eliminate suffering. Myths and religions have also created a paradise, fairy world and pure land for mankind. We are all fantasizing about a life without suffering.
But can life really be free of suffering?
I think there should be no life without suffering.
Shi Tiesheng asked in "I and Ditan ":
"If there is no suffering in the world, can the world still exist?"
If there is no suffering in life, human beings will lose their direction. If there is no physical suffering, human beings will not evolve step by step into what they are now, and we may still live in primitive society; if there is no spiritual suffering, human beings will not be enterprising and will lose the motivation to pursue a better life;
If there is no physical suffering, human culture will not be so colorful. Confucius Traveling around the world to suffer suffering, open the apricot hall, write "Spring and Autumn Annals", spread Confucianism ; Qu Yuan is not used to be depressed and write "Li Sao", and commits suicide by jumping into the river on the day of the national crisis; Sima Qian is angry and creates "Records of the Grand Historian", which has been passed down through the ages; Pu Songling has failed to get over the years and writes "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", which makes people love it. Without suffering, Tang Monk would not go to the West to obtain the scriptures, without suffering, 108 generals would not go to Liangshan, without suffering, Beethoven would not write "Symphony of Destiny", without suffering, Gorky would not write " Childhood "...
If there was no suffering in life, perhaps many great men would not appear. Hawking 21 suffered from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis at the age of 421, but he proved the singularity theorem of and the black hole area theorem of general relativity , proposed the black hole evaporation theory and the boundless Hawking cosmic model, and took an important step in unifying the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics ; Zhang Haidi was a child and suffered from spinal cord hemangioma. In the face of cruel challenge of fate, she was not depressed or depressed, and fought against disease with tenacious perseverance; Franklin Roosevelt was not defeated by polio inflammation, he defeated himself and became the person who served as the presidency for the longest time in American history.
can be seen that suffering is an objective reality from the objective world, an external fact that our subjective will cannot resist. The suffering of life is inevitable, just as Schopenhauer wrote in "On the Pain of the World":
"Except for suffering as the direct purpose of life, life has no purpose to speak of. When we observe the world, we see that everything is full of pain, all originate from the needs of life itself, and are inseparable, It is really meaningless and unreasonable. Some misfortunes, although they seem to be something unexpected, are common misfortunes, and it can be seen that they are inevitable. "
Balzac said:
"Suffering - for genius is a stepping stone, for capable people is a wealth, and for the weak is a deep abyss."
Therefore, we must face the sufferings of life. Only by calmly accepting the sufferings that exist objectively and correctly analyzing them can we solve them and regard them as a stepping stone to move forward.
accept suffering calmly
Every time we face suffering, our initial reaction is to escape. But in fact, escaping does not solve the problem.
In the face of suffering, we must first acknowledge that suffering is always there and accept the objective existence of suffering.
At the same time, don’t escape suffering, don’t ignore suffering, face suffering calmly, how bad can the worst be? As long as life is still there, as long as youth is still there, any possibility exists.
Mo Yan wrote in "Mother ": "My mother taught me that people should endure suffering and live unyieldingly." It is a true portrayal of the suffering and suffering that the modern Chinese people are not afraid of suffering, do not escape suffering, and face suffering calmly.
Correctly analyze suffering
On the basis of accepting suffering calmly, we will keep a clear mind and analyze suffering correctly. Analyzing suffering includes analyzing the root causes of suffering, analyzing the composition and characteristics of suffering, and formulating solutions to suffering.
There is a saying that goes: "Life is a practice, and the results are obtained in practice." Only by correctly analyzing suffering can we avoid suffering and long-term torture and ultimately solve suffering.
Solve suffering
Suffering suffering can make people fall down and can also be exciting. Suffering can temper our willpower. We can take the initiative to face these sufferings and use our strong willpower to prepare in advance for the arrival of suffering.
When facing the sufferings of life, we should lower our attitude and truly regard ourselves as an ordinary person. When facing objective physical suffering and the inability to realize our wishes, we must learn to reconcile with suffering and realize the coexistence with suffering.
When facing the sufferings of life, we should learn to control ourselves, learn to manage our desires, and strive to make our desires conform to the actual situation, otherwise it will only increase our worries.
