I like the words of the writer Lu Su:
"Cooking smoke, slightly sweet air, fragrant grass and trees, white rice and black charcoal, iron pot wood stove, square table bench." Simple life, precious tranquility. ”
People live a lifetime, running for their families, fighting for money and fame, but forgetting to live for themselves.
Many times, we want so much that we lose ourselves.
In the second half of life, be a simple person, minimalist, clean circles, and rich heart.
The substance is minimalist and the heart is rich
"Light rice coarse tea has a real taste, and the bright window is quiet."
In the Ming Dynasty, there was a talented man named Zheng Xuan, who was the inspector of Ying Tian, but was degraded for offending Liu Jin.
He was a clean official, lived a simple life, and wore old clothes.
Living in the deep mountains, although desolate, Zheng Xuan carefully cleaned the house and cultivated it carefully.
Every spring and summer, the front of the house is full of moss and flowers.
He called himself "Yesterday's Non-Ann Resident" and wrote in "Yesterday's Non-Ann Day":
"In April, there are new bamboo shoots, a shade of greenery, a number of yellow birds, a few sunny and rainy, not warm or cold, the old man is not elegant, half drunk and half awake."
Although he lives in a burrow, he has a great heart.
Substances can be minimalist, but the heart must be abundant.
The years are fleeting, and instead of chasing fame and fortune, it is better to spend some time on what you like.
The ancient Zhang Chao said in "Shadow of Dreams":
"The rich and the poor are not as poor as idle."
The most extravagant way to live is not big fish and meat, but idleness.
Simple mindset, easy life
Murong Xi has a poem:
"Wading through the river, a thousand hibiscus flowers, poetry is simple, the heart is also simple."
Her cousin Tangerine once longed for life in a big city and worked for a large company in Shanghai as soon as she graduated.
As a result, the company is highly competitive and employees are fighting among themselves.
Going to work every day, most of her time dealing with trivial matters, she was afraid of saying the wrong thing and fearing being laid off.
During that time, my cousin said, she often woke up in the middle of the night and then lost sleep.
Later, my cousin had a physical problem and had to resign and return to her hometown to rest.
When she adjusted her mentality, no longer thought about it, she was finally able to sleep well and find a solid job in her hometown.
Thoreau wrote in Walden:
"I am willing to dig deep into life, suck the marrow of life, live a solid, simple life, and remove all the content that does not belong to life cleanly, simply, simply, and then simple."
The mind is complex and full of scars.
The mentality is simple and relaxed.
In a person's heart, do not put too much garbage, learn to clean, zero, empty.
As the saying goes, idleness is rich, and simple heart is precious.
You've been tired for half your life, so get back to simplicity.
The circle is clean, three or two confidants
The circle does not have to be too big, three or two confidants are enough.
When we get together, we talk about homely things; when we are alone, we can also enjoy the joy alone.
I know a writer who is reclusive and rarely socializes in writers' circles.
She neither attends any meet-ups nor writes testimonials to other writers.
Later, some competitors posted online that she was deviant and poorly written.
Ignoring it, she continued to write her own novels, maintaining the speed of two books for three years, selling far more than her peers.
The best state of life is: a person, quiet and abundant. Two people, warm and steady.
Someone asked, what is circle simple?
True simplicity is not material asceticism.
Instead, understand that 80% of things in life have no meaning, and pour energy into 20% of people and things.
Your time is limited and you don't have to go too much nostalgia.
"Having three or two confidants in your heart is better than thousands of connections."
A table, a chair, a book, a dialogue with the sages;
One lamp, one person and one teacup, can be busy and idle.
Whether it's high or cool.
For the rest of his life, the circle is clean, the relationship is pure, and he is only with people who make him comfortable.
I've seen an ancient couplet:
"Busy for the sake of fame, busy with a cup of tea."
Labor and labor, in the midst of suffering, take the pot of wine. ”
In life, there are endless jobs, unfinished things, no entanglements, no covetousness.
The substance is minimalist and the heart is rich.
Simple mindset, easy life.
The circle is clean, three or two confidants.
When you learn the trade-offs, you can move forward better.
Today's Book Uncle recommended:
Opportunities must always be in their own hands,
The confidence you give yourself is the strongest.
