"Rotten wood cannot be carved, and a wall of dung cannot be demolished." comes from the tenth sentence of Chapter 5 of "The Analects", Confucius describes his disciple Zaiyu . It means: "Rotten wood cannot be carved, and dung walls cannot be painted. What is the use of blaming Jaeyu?" In life, "rotten wood cannot be carved" is to describe those hopeless people, but most of them are just subjective verbal expressions. Regarding rotten wood, it is just that you have not used it in the right place, and it is never useless.
Only a piece of wood can be carved into something beautiful. Is artwork a good life? In our human lives, houses, paper, firewood, cars, boats, tools, clothes and other basic necessities of life seem to be made of wood. How can we tell whether they are good or bad?
Some people will say classic old sayings such as " Rotten wood cannot be carved " when they see that their views are different from their own, or they do not follow their own expectations. On the one hand, they strengthen the correctness of their own ideas and use allusions. Therefore, to establish a personal intellectual personality, those who are good at saying these things are generally individual teachers and some elders.
Everyone has his own outstanding aspect since birth. Most of them are influenced by the environment and become compatible with their surroundings. But even so, if they have the opportunity to be discovered and cultivated by people who know others, they can still lead a good life.
But how many people are labeled, or even ignored or discriminated against because they are naughty, slow to react or have other shortcomings? Obliterated his entire life. Are some children and young people really incorrigible, or are some people too self-righteous?
Take the wood that has fallen down for tens to millions of years in reality. Some are buried due to geological changes and become coal, petrified wood , agarwood, and fossils. There are also various fungi that breed during the decay process. Even if they are all rotten, they will be returned to the soil and turned into fertilizer.
These "deadwood" all play an important role in nature. The role of substitution, not to mention the wood that grows normally? Therefore, please do not compare the "waste wood" among human beings to rotten wood. It is an insult to rotten wood, and do not deny others easily.
In addition to not denying others, don't deny yourself easily. Don't feel that your future is hopeless because of physical defects, withdrawn personality, average family background, heavy foreign debts, good for nothing, laziness, and immaturity.
Most of our anxiety and confusion come from classic principles, The heart-warming chicken soup and comparison with wealthy people show that we should actually accept our own mediocrity and live a mediocre life like 95% of ordinary people.
Even if you are working as a mechanical factory worker, a courier on the street, a farmer in planting and breeding, a nanny, a sanitation worker, an IT migrant worker, or any other job that is dirty, tiring or boring, as long as you have something to do, it is a very meaningful life.
If we forget to compare and show off all kinds of luxury goods and brand treasures, If you simply repeat your existing job, such as high-quality goods and high material life, you may not be rich in your life, but you won't be very poor either.
We used to envy the garage life, which felt very far away. If we as a family simply worked diligently and continued to do simple ordinary jobs with low wages, we could also buy these. But we were too anxious and took many detours.
Regarding diseases, I think there is no need to panic and fear, just It is enough to maintain a good mood and habits at ordinary times. When it comes, we try our best to treat it. If we can't cure it, we can't cure it.
Why worry too much about things that haven't happened yet, which will affect your current quality of life. Moreover, the rate of major diseases is very low. Don't be led into an alley by the advertisements of some health care product companies.
Think about the dead wood in nature that humans paranoidly believe to be useless, but it can all play an important role. As for us, living advanced animals and advanced creatures, why should we rush to deny ourselves.
As long as you are alive, you have value. Just like someone who is obsessed with playing games has fed many people in this chain, lying down and doing nothing but eating also plays a role in the corresponding biological chain . There is never an absolute good-for-nothing person, only different perspectives.
The pictures I showed today are all agarwood , which is a substance secreted by trees to protect themselves after being injured. I was deeply touched when I saw them. Thinking about people, it is the same. After being injured, they will have many defensive thoughts and devices.
Therefore, being injured is not necessarily a tragedy, let alone immersing yourself in it, and there is no need to deliberately conflict with it. Just treat it with a normal heart, let alone tell others about the misfortune. We will reach the end of the ordinary road, and the bumps and bumps are all scenery.
I like to smell agarwood . Although it is not as strong as your perfume, nor as fragrant as flowers, the long-lasting, gentle and special smell impresses me the most. Its story This is also my story...
If you have the opportunity to read this article, I hope you can be like agarwood, which secretes substances that are a hundred times more valuable than logs after being injured. This secretion is not deliberate but a habit and conditioned reflex.
If you have the chance, smell the smell of agarwood and think about your life. No matter what you do or who you are, please find a way to fall in love with yourself and life, even if it is ordinary and a bit vulgar...
