In his later years, Mr. Ji Xianlin wrote this sentence:
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, I had reached the ninth year of hope, living far more than my budget. Some people think that longevity is a blessing, and I don't think so. People have lived too long, and they can see thoroughly the various aspects of life and the various aspects of sentient beings, but they are less encouraged and more sighed. It is far better to leave the world a little earlier, the land of right and wrong, and leave an ear root pure.
Mr. Ji Xianlin's point of view, in fact, there are three: longevity is not necessarily a blessing, and it is not happy to see through life, and leave this red dust world as soon as possible.
Like these three views, in fact, there is a contradiction with our current values. When the vast majority of people are eager for longevity and happiness, some people even put forward the view that longevity is not necessarily a blessing, which will be questioned by everyone.
In fact, the emergence of every concept is valuable. You know, existence itself is value.
For everyone's life, how to live, how to live, how to live, this is the problem we need to consider.
Mr. Ji Xianlin said that there are too many people who are trapped in the reins of fame and tied to LiSuo. It is also groggy and drowsy, and I don't know why I have lived a lifetime.
Modern people often have more irritability in the pursuit of fame and fortune, and less peace of mind about the pursuit of personal values. In the end, the more you live, the more you doubt your own life, and the more you live, the more you doubt your own value.

Why is longevity not necessarily a blessing?
There is a saying in "Zhuangzi": "Many men are more afraid, rich are more troublesome, and shou is more humiliating." ”
Too many boys will collapse the family; people who are too rich will provoke the covetousness of others; people will live too long and will gradually live into humiliation.
The reason why "longevity" is not good is either because some people are in pain and cannot see the hope of life. Slowly, they think that they will return early and be happy early.
In other words, some people think that they have experienced this long life, and they should see through everything. Everything that should be faced is completely faced. Since you have experienced it, what regrets do you have?
A writer once said, "Everyone thinks it's best to live five hundred years longer." I don't see that. When you have the money to survive, have enough food, and see the scenery once, this life has also been experienced, why do you need to live to two hundred years old? ”
When the red dust is gone, everything is the best arrangement.
Whether it is longevity or backfire, there are many things that we cannot decide. All we can do is gradually experience, gradually grow old, and that's all.
03
In this life, people will not be happy when they see through it.
On the Internet, there is always such a sentence: "After seeing through life, you can feel the happiness in your heart." ”
In fact, if a person really wants to be happy, it is better not to see through. Once you see through life, through the rules of this world, then you will feel miserable.
The "various phases of life and the various phases of sentient beings" that Mr. Ji Xianlin talked about are nothing more than a momentary delusion, and the red dust of the hundred forms and the mundane world are all different kinds of life and choices.
Some people choose to fight hard to make money, who knows that when the body is sick, after middle age, they are dismissed by the boss, and then they slowly understand that in the market, people are only part of the "value".
Some people choose to compete for fame and profit for a lifetime, and when they are old and retired, their status and connections have disappeared, and then they completely understand that life is just an empty space, and what is it?
Some people have no choice but to spend this life in pain, then they will see through the "various phases" of this world and find that all beings are suffering, red dust is suffering, and everything is suffering.
Man, who comes into this world, comes both to experience and to see through. It's just that when you have experienced and seen through, then you will germinate a point of view, the human world, life, red dust, but so.
To borrow a sentence from Su Shi, the world has been dusted, and the floating flowers in the air are in the dream.
04
Man, get rid of a meaningless life.
Mr. Ji Xianlin said:
When I was lucky, I had money in my hand... Arrogant, flying... When I got into the urn, I didn't understand why I had lived my life.
Among them, those who are unlucky are poor and destitute, running for food and clothing all day long, frowning and frowning, long and short sighs... It is also groggy and drowsy, and I don't know why I have lived a lifetime.
There are too many people in this world who don't know what they are living for, and always feel that it is better to survive with the trajectory of other people's lives. In the end, they did not live as they belonged.
There are too many people, on the stage that do not belong to themselves, leading a script that does not belong to them, and living a life that does not belong to them.
It's not their problem, it's a matter of human nature that goes with the flow. When a person gets rid of the low-level fun, he will know what his pursuit is?
When you can see the head at a glance, when you can know what kind of life you will live in the future, then its sense of mystery and meaning will be consumed.
It can only be said that people, if they can choose, may wish to get rid of the "cookie-cutter" life. At least, go through the red dust world, don't live up to the time of this life.
The human world may not be worth it, but a short life of a few decades must be worth it.
