Mo Yan once wrote in "Sandalwood Punishment": "The most taboo thing in the world is perfect. Yeah, there are perfect people and things out there in this world? And the wisdom of our ancestors had to make us sigh, and in their wisdom they often spoke a "half" word. Li Mian of the Qing Dynasty had such a "half song": "The wine is half drunk and half drunk, and the flowers bloom half time." The sail is half open and half-turned, and the horse is half reined to stabilize. Half less but spare, half more anti-entanglement. A hundred years of bittersweet semi-ginseng, will take advantage of only half. This poem experiences the truth of life, but it needs to be slowly tasted to understand the truth, so as to live suddenly!
In the year of 2020, the deepest memory left to us is the sudden epidemic, which did not give us a trace of preparation and was menacing. At the beginning of the epidemic, i saw a netizen in Wuhan post a status on Weibo: "My mother has passed away with the new crown virus." When I got home, I saw the familiar oil bottle with the note written by my mother, "Remember to cook rice often", and I was sad to think that I could no longer eat my mother's meal. "When we experience the most cruel things, we may grow into the appearance of adults overnight, and only when we have personally experienced the momentary parting of life and death, we will experience that sadness but powerlessness."
In "Please Answer 1998", the line says: "Sometimes, a false alarm is the most beautiful idiom in the world." Compared to what is happy, colorful, smooth sailing is a hundred times better, you know what is loss, may sorrow and fear be able to pass, and people outside the matter know more about cherishing. "But there are many times in the world that are really cruel, and often there is no place for the word of good luck, but that sentence has nowhere to be placed." Life should be the return of one reunion after another, but it is impossible to avoid parting and sorrow. Only when we ourselves learn to let go, learn to let go, can we live thoroughly, can we truly understand that half of life is to be together, so we must embrace when we get together; half is parting, and we must also try our best to let go.
In the "Vegetable Root Tan", it is said: "If life is too idle, don't think about it; if you are too busy, the true nature is not seen." "What I understand is that people can't let themselves be too idle, when you are too idle you will do nothing, easy to have undeserved thoughts; of course, you can't be too busy, too busy is easy to make your body and heart feel tired, thus losing your true disposition." It can be seen that the best state of life is half busy and half idle, no more, no less. Ouyang Xiu, the patriarch of the Song Dynasty literary circles, was the most busy and half-idle. When busy, diligent in government affairs, in exchange for a rich and peaceful party; in leisure time, accompanied by poetry and wine and landscapes, the days are white and clear. Busy is busy in an orderly manner, idle is idle, half busy and half idle, is life.
The landscape of life is only half and half. Half bright, half dim; half sunny, half rainy; half joyful, half sad, half wanting to meet, half parting, half busy, half idle.
If you focus on the unsatisfactory in life, then you are destined to be full of sighs; if you focus on the small surprises in life, you are destined to be full of laughter. In the adult world, who is not struggling to find a glimmer of light in the darkness, leading themselves to continue to move forward. As a little Zen monk said: Life is a sea, what comes up is hope, what retreats is sadness, the hardships of the past have not defeated you, and you are afraid of what will come.
Our whole life is in this half and a half, halfway through, there is only half left, stop and stay, and find that life is more than halfway through. May we all have the moment of awakening, truly understand the principle of doing things, do not require everything, but do everything thoroughly! Only by seeking half of everything, so as to learn to be satisfied, truly understand that contentment and happiness can be complete!
