Balzac once said: "The desirer suffers more than anyone else, and his own misfortunes and the happiness of others make him miserable." People with strong desires often begin with hatred of others and end with harm. A person full of desire never knows what "contentment" is, they are constantly pursuing, just to get more, so desire is our enemy, to learn to be content, cherish what we have now.
There was once such a story:
Ephemerals jumped on the surface of the water, with tiny ripples. Ephemera, commonly known as "overnight old", means that after laying eggs overnight, they die, that is, they die in the twilight. I can't help but feel sorry for this ephemera like a small butterfly.
The ephemeral is a small insect that grows in the watery zone, with a slightly longer larval stage, and some species live to two or three years. But after becoming an adult insect, that is, not drinking or eating, flying in the air to mate, completing the continuation of its species, it ends its life, generally dying in the twilight. Ephemerals like to fly in groups at sunset, and when they are in full bloom, they fall to the ground after death and accumulate into a thick layer.
Life is like an ephemera, prosperous like a spring dream. Ephemera's life is very similar to that of people, in the boundless universe, people are as small as ephemera to not be mentioned, human life is only a few decades, compared to ancient trees that can live for thousands of years, and billions of years of stars, our lives seem to be short-lived, short to negligible.
Although the ephemera is only a day's life, it can still complete the metamorphosis, fly, mate, lay eggs, and then leave the world with affection. I can't help but feel admiration for this little life. It is often said that so-and-so committed suicide at a young age, and gave up lightly in the face of setbacks and feelings, it is really not even as good as an ephemera, life is only once, remember that as long as you live, there is still hope, no matter who you live for, you must live out the meaning of life. Tired, sleepy, injured, just find a quiet place to rest, and then adjust yourself to set sail again. Read the Book of Verses as "The Feather of the Ephemera, The Dress is Chu Chu." The sorrow of the heart is where I am", which means that the faint ephemera spread its wings and flew in the air, and the bitterness of its life made me melancholy, and where was the destination of my life.
Man is full of resentment towards life, and one day is enough for the ephemera, and this small creature is indifferent to life and death. But people are full of obsession with life, struggling in various desires, competing in front of fame and fortune, and how many good times are wasted, but they do not know how to enjoy. Only see what you don't get, but you don't appreciate what you have. In the Tang Dynasty Chu Guangxi's "Tian Jia Zaxing", "life is like an ephemera, it is unattainable", which means that life is as fleeting as an ephemeral, and some things should not be deliberately pursued.
Therefore, life is short, when you learn to be calm about life like an ephemera, learn to let go, learn to be relieved. People should learn to enjoy all kinds of beautiful things around them, appreciate the green mountains and green waters, grass, trees, insects and fish, and pour their lives into beautiful things. If one can regard the daily life as the last day of life, you will find that there are many joys and beauty in life.
