Looking back on the past is to live a good future, to face up to and answer the question of "how should I live".
"Today is the last day of the first half of 2021." Early in the morning, this time "cold knowledge" that was initially surprised and after the mixed feelings triggered a large-scale "memory killing" boom among netizens.
In the discussion of related topics, you can see all kinds of marking symbols, some people use the movies they have seen to show the state of the first half of the year, some people use vaccination marks, some people recall those who met and did those things, and some people mentioned the highlight moments of "going ashore" and settling the work. Whether it is trivial or thrilling, it reflects the figure of every ordinary person living with his heart, showing the most real and perceptible life.
Although it is only a summary of the "mid-term" of the past six months, many netizens still have quite a feeling and send out multiple feelings about time. Among them, there are soul tortures of "what have I done, I have not done anything", the sense of fulfillment of "fireworks to the stars, everything you wish to come true", and a cute prayer that hopes to open the good luck mode in the second half of the year with one click.
The deceased is like a sif, not giving up day and night. In fact, if you seriously investigate, every day, minute, and second is completely new. But in reality, those who can really maintain a sense of freshness and treat each day seriously as a new day are a minority after all. More often than not, we are simply pushed by the inertia of life, occupied by the full schedule in front of us. The reason why we need to emphasize the "sense of ritual" at the main time node is precisely because they provide an opportunity, an opportunity for us to stop a little and re-examine our lives.
In the film "Eating Men and Women", Zhu Dad once said a very classic line: What is "pity"? I must have a word "pity" in my heart to know that it is a pity! Indeed, people's mentality is sometimes very interesting, and often when they realize that "they are going to end", they will stimulate the motivation to pay attention and cherish the moment. Just like the last time I was close to moving, when the author retraced the daily path, he suddenly found that the trees on both sides had long been closed, and when he looked up, he was full of greenery, and realized how much beauty he had wasted in ordinary life.
Today, after finding that 2021 is halfway through, many netizens also bluntly said their anxiety, panic and reflection: this half year's drama brushed too long, the game played too much, those flags (targets) set up at the beginning of the year, now have been crumbling for most of the time; always tied up by all kinds of trivial matters, always feel that there are many opportunities to meet in the future, so "look back" and "next appointment" can not be stopped after repeated pushbacks, and even some meetings have become a farewell...
Those who have realized the past can be traced. Sometimes, the magic of the "ritual sense" of time lies in this: when you are satisfied with the summary, you can feel a real sense of achievement and happiness, and then you are full of vitality to meet the new life; and after finding those regrets and misses, life has the direction of adjustment, and people will have more motivation to change.
Looking back on the past is to live a good future, to face up to and answer the question of "how should I live". In this wave of "memory killing" for the first half of the year, many people expressed their feelings about the "rare and easy to lose" time: every day was spent in a busy and busy way, but looking back, it seemed as if nothing had been done. It is true that there are too many long "to-do lists" in life, and not everyone can be their own "master of time", but as Liang Shiqiu said: Although there are many "time thieves" in life, "the consumption of our time is still our responsibility."
Therefore, it is advisable to look back at each time node as an opportunity, because in these "rituals", we can temporarily get out of the entanglement of trivial matters and see the true face of life in the present. More importantly, it is to clarify what is really important part of life and what you really want to live.
