People are alive, and many times, they are really contradictory. Everything you say is wrong, everything you do is wrong, everything you think is random thoughts... In the midst of contradictions, you slowly grow old.
In fact, many questions have no answers. It is better to let go of your obsession and believe in an ancient saying : Just do good things and don’t ask about your future.
Ming Dynasty writer Ling Mengchu wrote a story about "Wang Yu's house to celebrate the Three Treasures", telling a kind old man who insists on ferrying for others and finally allows himself to live a rich life.
From the story, you can get the truth: truly smart people can always "save people".

"Sending others must first save yourself", it is your duty to do your own good.
During the Longxing period of the Song Dynasty, there was an old man named Wang Jia . He lived next to Minjiang and made a living by fishing.
Every day, Wang Jia and his wife appear in the storm and live a simple life. But they have a habit of helping others no matter how difficult it is.
If you sell fish and shrimp, you must take out one or two cents and give it to the poor and beggars.
One day, Wang Jia put up the fishing net and got a bronze mirror with strange words engraved on it. This is "Mirror of Treasures" . According to legend, was made by the emperor. After
, the couple often catches babies from the river, and their lives are getting better and better.
The ancients said: "If you want to do good things, you must first sharpen your tools."
If you want to do good things, then learn to make money first and give yourself the ability to help others. If you are very poor and need help from others, the idea of helping others is mostly unfulfilled.
Poor people can also help others, the reason is correct. But the poor are still able to take out some food, one or two dollars, and have not fallen to the point of "eating without choice".
A friend of mine went to Dongguan after graduating from high school. Over the years, he returned to his hometown, reclaimed orchards, and planted peach trees.
After hard work, his orchard income is getting more and more. The villagers around all came to imitate and asked for saplings.
Of course, friends never provide saplings to villagers for free. He said, "I am not a rich man, I have to rely on fruit trees to support my family."
It is said that, do not persuade others to be good without the suffering of others.
For those who "suffer themselves", we should like to like, not complain or blame. In this way, only those who "suffer themselves" will develop, which is true and good.

"Save yourself and save others", helping others is a love.
When Wang Jia was fishing, he caught two special stones, white and shining.
A Persian finds him and wants to buy the stone. He said: "Where I am, the spring water is very dirty and needs to be purified. These two stones have a purifying effect. As long as the stone is thrown into the turbid water, the water will become clear."
Wang Jia sold the stone and got 30,000 yuan.
Seeing that the family’s money was getting more and more, Wang Jia was worried. He believes that you should not have so much money in your life, and you should share the money to those in need. So he gave a portion of the money and "Mirror of Treasure Gathering" to a nearby temple - Baishui Zen Temple in Mount Emei.
likes this sentence very much: "A single thread cannot make a thread, a single tree cannot make a forest, and those who are in harmony with each other's appearance are lonely."
When a person becomes very selfish after he has the ability to help others, he will become poor. Because his morality is not enough to support his wealth; his credit is not enough to support his status.
Therefore, Wang Jia’s approach seems unreasonable, but in fact he is to amplify his merits. The pattern is big, no matter how much wealth you have, you can tolerate it.
makes two examples.
One of them, someone gives you a piece of gold, and then you hold the gold tightly, then your palms can no longer tolerate external objects. Let go of your hands, use gold to help others, or consume by yourself, and you can grab anything when your palms are empty.
Secondly, a person who opens a store often does good things after getting rich.Therefore, his fame became very great, and everyone admired him very much, so the store's business became better.
The real wealth is not the money that stays in the hand, but the money passes through the hand again and again. This is a circular process, reflecting the wisdom of "once you have to give up, you have gains."

"Saving others is also saving oneself", mutual help is fate.
After the Zen Temple has "Mirror of Treasure Gathering" , it is becoming more and more prosperous, and gold, silver and treasures are piled up.
The presidency in the Zen temple is very greedy and he is unwilling to help the poor.
A local official Hun Yao wanted to get the "Mirror of Gathering Treasures", so he locked up the Falun. The two of them had a stalemate for a long time.
The great disciple Zhenkeng in the Zen Temple saw that the Falun did not come back for a long time, so he became evil and brought the "glass of treasure gathering" and treasure, wanting to escape. Halfway through, I met a tiger and lost all my property.
"A book is made without coincidence". A few days later, Wang Jia went out and happened to encounter the lost treasure in the Zen temple.
This shows that no selfish person will have a good ending. A kind-hearted person can still get it back even if he loses money. This is the principle of "Growing melons and getting beans and getting beans".
has the truth, great fortune will be great, and deep chance will be deep misfortunes.
As a human being, after getting help from others, you have to help more people. In this way, the value of "saving people" can be reflected.
There is an old man who suddenly bumped and his right foot's shoes fell off when he was out in a carriage. He simply threw out his left foot's shoes.
The old man thought to himself: "If someone picks up shoes, at least one pair, and can still wear them."
After a while, the old man went to the mountains to see the scenery and accidentally got lost. At this time, a woodcutter came over and took the old man down the mountain.
The woodcutter said: "Old man, you are really lucky. I usually don't chop wood at such a high place. It's because I picked up a pair of shoes a few days ago. It's easier to walk the mountain road..."
The old man lowered his head and found that the woodcutter was wearing his own shoes.
You must understand that "giving roses to others will leave fragrance after your hands" is a kind of causal relationship. Therefore, your kindness will make you successful; you can be kinder to you.

Writer Claire wrote in " Ferryman ": "If fate is a lonely river, who will be your soul Ferryman?"
Things are impermanent, but you must understand that you will persist in being someone else's ferryman in order to meet your own ferryman.
I saw a riddle: "What is walking with four legs when you get up in the morning, two legs when you walk at noon, and three legs when you walk with three legs at night?"
The answer was unexpected, which is: "You crawl when you are in infants, you are strong when you are in middle age, and you are crutches when you are in old age."
It seems that you have to rely on yourself at every stage. In fact, babies need the care of adults, middle-aged people need cooperation with each other, and elderly people need a crutch. How can you save yourself for the rest of your life?
What God is willing to save is the one who saves people.
