On New Year's Day, I saw a sentence in the circle of friends: "The purpose of the new year is not to have a new year, but to have a new soul." I think it is very reasonable, casually check the source, it turned out to be the famous British writer G · Quote from K. Chesterton.
G· "Detective Father Brown" by K. Chesterton is one of the famous British mystery novels, along with the famous "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection", and is praised as "writing a tense plot and exquisite criminal tricks in one stroke", but for the general public, Holmes is obviously more widely known.
Including myself, after reading the full set of "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" is still not finished, and then ran to the Internet to watch the Sherlock Holmes series of movies, but also a Sherlock Holmes fan, but lonely and ignorant of Father Brown. This is also an interesting phenomenon, we are always accustomed to ignoring the vast world beyond our cognition.
At the beginning of the new year, we are accustomed to saying "new year new atmosphere", the most enthusiastic, is the appearance of a new look, even the most unsophisticated uncle, will solemnly go to the haircut, meaning that the new year "from the beginning", ladies not to mention, from New Year's Day to the Spring Festival This period of time, barbershop Tony teacher is the busiest. The business of clothing stores is also the hottest, who is not a new dress for the New Year?
Such a joyous, after year after year, is also very good, if contented and happy. However, there were also times of frustration, one day, suddenly looking up, it was strange that some of the people who had set off together had already run to another unattainable place, and they were still in the same place, of course, some people had fallen a long way behind the big troops.
Why is that? I often think that maybe we are too easy to be confused by external things, Chinese like to "take people by appearance", look beautiful, dress beautifully, live beautifully, will naturally have a sense of superiority, be looked up to by others, but life is a long practice, beautiful appearance, how to act in the future, or to see a person's ultimate strength and charm.
So, "The purpose of the new year is not to have a new year, but to have a new soul", what an enlightening sentence. So what is the new soul? This is probably "a thousand people have a thousand Hamlets", and my understanding is that this new soul, it is a new look in our spirit, thoughts, and feelings, a new cognition, or a new life beyond the old self.
"Yesterday's things are like yesterday's death, and today's things are like today's life." We can't wear new clothes and live the New Year, the soul or the old soul, right? What does the new soul look like? How do you have a new soul? That's different from person to person.
As the old saying goes, "what is missing makes up for what", for example, I hope that in the new year, I can have an interesting soul, while trying to live, less nervous, anxious, and suffering from gains and losses. On the contrary, I hope that I can be light and fearless at any time, that I can live a relaxed and happy life every day in the future, that I can ridicule my clumsiness, that I can accept my own shortcomings, and that I can laugh indifferently after falling and falling.
I also want to learn a few new songs, in the past I always felt that I didn't sing well, I always dared not open my mouth, but in the new year, I want to have an interesting soul, I have to sing happily, go to the forest park to sing, sing by the Yellow River, sing when cooking, sing when washing dishes, think about it, I am very happy, typing on the computer keyboard began to hum: "Unlike any meaning, you are green light, so the only ..."
Of course, I'll also have to watch G· K. Chesterton's "Detective Brother Brown" looks at a tall, cheerful personality, great appetite, alcohol, and many friends of a writer, with his "intellectual humor, never boring" brushstrokes, writing a short man, fat face, shy by nature, stuttering, but witty and humorous, wise and foolish Father Brown how to uncover the mystery of a bizarre case in the clues, so that a person's wisdom shines.
Chesterton also wrote many serious books on "how to do the things of an ordinary person in an extraordinary world," saying, "These stories say apples are golden to remind us of that long-forgotten moment when we discovered that apple was blue." The reason why we describe the wine flowing in the river is so that we can remember in the momentary ecstasy that there is clear water flowing in the river..."
These truths are still new to read today. Ordinary people, don't be full of fantasies about what "golden apple", every day can eat fresh and sweet red Fuji big apple, healthy and healthy, and have an interesting soul, this is the most beautiful thing in the new year.
