Before dawn

The friend has a sister of the same age, a very good person, and a very hard-working, responsible and gentle person in life.

In the company, because the pressure of work is too great, I get depression. When I wanted to resign, I fell into a strange circle of thought because I couldn't let go of my job responsibilities. Finally, in the middle of the night, he committed suicide on his balcony.

My friend's sister strangled herself alive with a rope. When the family found out, they saw that the ground was covered with tear marks. It can be seen how helpless she was in her heart when she strangled herself, and how painfully entangled she had been. Equally painful, there was her family. At that time, I happened to be staying at a friend's house, and I still remember the atmosphere of despair and sadness.

The friend talked about the unforgettable past and said: In fact, after that day, she will marry her boyfriend who is a civil servant, and the work affairs will be dealt with immediately. Unfortunately, people are sometimes like this, easy to fall into the swamp of thought and unable to extricate themselves, many people fall on the eve of the dawn.

So, what makes us survive the long night before dawn?

It is a firm belief in the hope of the future. But there are always moments when people lose hope and feel hopeless. The despair of that moment can always defeat hope. We need a faith that, like the sun, always illuminates our way forward.

This belief may be the kind of person you yearn for, or it may be a culture that makes you yearn. We must have in our hearts a starry sky worth looking up to.

In the past, I never understood the "transcendence" that the snow master said, and only felt empty.

Now, I often think that if my friend's sister could read the Tao Te Ching, or read the Buddhist scriptures, or read other scriptures, it would be nice to contact some wise people. Because that would allow her to see a transcendent world, a larger world, and have another way of looking at her own life.

My friend's sister is a person with high emotional intelligence, a very decent person, a successful career, and a general partner. Now according to the eyes of ordinary people, in fact, her life is quite perfect, but she just can't get out of her own soul. It can be seen that our view of success and happiness is still limited.

"No one's world is higher than his heart", and it is a blessing to meet people and cultures who are wise and make people's hearts broader in life.

Hopefully, we can all encounter the knowledge of goodness, and we can all transcend the darkness before the dawn.
