When you clench your hands, there is nothing inside;
When you open your hands, the world is in your hands.
We are unhappy because we crave too many things.
A person feels that life is very heavy, so he goes to see the wise man to seek the way to liberation.
The wise man gave him a basket on his back, pointed to a gravel road, and said, Every step you take, pick up a stone and put it in to see what it feels like.
The man said it was heavy.
The wise man told him that this is why it feels like life is getting heavier.
We keep picking things up in our hearts, and we feel that life is getting more and more tired.
The man asked, "Is there any way to alleviate this heaviness?" ”
The wise man asked him, "Are you willing to throw away work, love, family, friendship, money, status, and fame?" The man was silent for a long time.
From this point of view:
There are only two times in a person's life that are the most relaxed, one is when he is born, he comes in a red stripe, carrying an empty basket, and when he dies, he pours the contents of the basket clean, and then leaves in a red strip.
In life, most people always want to get something, thinking that the more things they have, the happier they will be. So you will go down the path of pursuit and acquisition. However, one day I suddenly realized that melancholy, helplessness, confusion, sadness, boredom, and all unhappiness were closely related to my own plans.
The more we want, the less happy we are, the more we want to gain, the more we lose.
While life is looking for it, it always has to pay a price.
By correctly understanding gains and losses, people will understand the inevitable loss when they get it; they will also know how to find themselves from loss when they are lost.
The ancients had clouds: sometimes there must be one in fate, and there is no time to demand it in fate.
Mencius also said: Fish, I want it, bear paws, and I want both, and he who gives up fish and takes bear paws is also."
Sometimes, we do a lot of things that are lost to the end, and in the end, we are confused.
In the world, a person must first do a good job of himself, do his duty, and do what he should do, otherwise all pursuits will be floating.
Carnegie once said this:
The happiness we get in life does not lie in where we are, nor in what we have, nor in what kind of a person we are, but only in the state of our hearts.
So when we learn to lose from gain, gain from loss. Abandon the ambition of deliberately pursuing excellence, forget the worries of being unsatisfactory, and simply enjoy life, we are happy.
There are sacrifices and gains, and big sacrifices are big, and they are not reluctant to give up.
