Su Shi wrote in "Nian Nu Jiao": "The old country is wandering, amorous should laugh at me, and I was born early." Life is like a dream, a statue is still in the moon. ”
When I went to Chibi to revisit my hometown, I found that I had so many nostalgia for the old, but I didn't expect that my head was already full of white hair, and I was already old. Life is like a dream, you can only use a glass of sake to pay tribute to the river and the moon.
Why is a person so sentimental, why is he so sad? In the end, it is because the years urge people to grow old, which makes people sigh infinitely.
In this pale human world, there is only one thing that is absolutely fair, and that is time.
In the face of time, no matter how rich, powerful, or helpless, in the end you have to be white-haired, gradually getting old, everything can not be taken away.
There is a poem: "The Great Wall is still there today, and I don't see Qin Shi Huang in that year." ”
The Great Wall still stands tall, but Qin Shi Huang has disappeared. Such a powerful person as Qin Shi Huang still can't take everything away, so why is he an ordinary person?
Whether rich or poor, this is just an experience. After experiencing it, everyone has to face the same ending. Because of the coming of death, it is a result that no one can change.
Life is just a big dream.

A 65-year-old man lamented that this life is just a dream.
There is such an ordinary old man in the town, who is 65 years old this year. If you don't know his life experience, in fact, no one knows, in fact, in ten or twenty years ago, he was a well-known big boss in a certain business field.
It is said that when this old man was young, he seized the opportunity to go to the sea to do business, went to many countries, and anyway, what kind of people have seen and enjoyed any kind of life.
At the peak of his career, he opened a number of factories, and there were hundreds of employees under him, anyway, at that time, he was particularly beautiful, giving people a feeling of being on the peak.
However, there are unpredictable storms in the sky, and people have bad luck and bad luck. After twenty years of scenery, his career came to an end. As a result, he went bankrupt and then retired.
A life like this should be considered vigorous. However, the old man did not think so, but said lightly: "That is to say, it is just experienced, it is nothing." ”
At the age of 65, he celebrated his birthday at the old house and met his partner Lao Liu, whom he had not seen for many years. Old Liu, who was similar to him, came to wish him a happy birthday and also talked about the past.
Lao Liu said: "This life is really like a dream, when we wake up, we are all old." ”
The old man also sighed: "Yes." There are many things that can be experienced. Life does not bring, death does not bring, no matter how beautiful you were back then, everything will eventually return to plainness. ”

The above-mentioned old man experienced a life of great wealth and nobility, and finally returned to a plain life.
Generally speaking, such a huge gap will basically make people psychologically collapse. But why did this old man live so calmly and elegantly?
First of all, it is because the old man knows that what has happened cannot be changed, and it is better to live now than to be entangled.
Secondly, it is because the old man knows that no matter who you are, you cannot take away everything in life. So, what's there to tangle with?
Even if the old man is still a multimillionaire, can he really leave with these assets? You simply can't do it. The moment people leave, they will only "come empty-handed, empty-handed."
At most, it's just that the tombstones of the rich are a little better, while the tombstones of ordinary people are worse.
The Southern Song Dynasty poet Fan Chengda said that even if there is an iron threshold of a thousand years, it must eventually be a steamed bun.
Rich families all hope that high-rise buildings and large houses can be passed on, who knows, a small steamed bun (that is, a tombstone) is their final result.
Man is just coming to the stage of the human world to "perform" a drama. No matter how you act, you have to leave. Everything will be empty at some point in the future.

As the saying goes: "Three inches of qi are used in a thousand ways, and once impermanent, everything rests." ”
People, when they have three inches of qi, they can naturally do anything, and naturally they can enjoy anything. However, when these three inches of qi disappeared, everything he had worked so hard for left him.
Some time ago, a reader left a message in the background.
The reader is 60 years old this year, and his younger brother died at the age of 55. Because there are no relatives and no offspring, they can only give the two houses that they have worked hard all their lives to the eldest brother.
Whenever he thinks of his brother's experience, as the eldest brother, he often hides his face and cries, and his brother has struggled all his life and has not enjoyed a few good days, so what is the point of him even if he has two sets of houses in the city center?
After experiencing this incident, this reader also saw through that life only needs to live to the fullest, enjoy when it is time to enjoy, and struggle when it is time to struggle. The moment you wake up, it's time to leave.
This may seem like a negative idea, but it is a reality that no one can change.
Just think, rich as Jobs, don't you leave early, can only let others take over the apple?
Just imagine, the right to be like Qin Shi Huang, did not also leave early, can only let Hu Hai squander his family property?
Just think, if a talented person like Zhuge Liang also left early, could only make the Shu Han regime decline more and more?
Everything cannot be taken away. Life is just an experience. To borrow a phrase from Mr. Jin Yong, he made a big fuss and quietly left.
That's all.
