There is a saying that goes: "The human heart is not enough for the snake to swallow the elephant." The snake swallows the elephant, and it is still oneself who suffers, just as if a person only sees what he does not have, he will only make himself depressed and troublesome. Chasing fame and profit has always been the dream of many people, they were originally to make themselves happier, but in the process of pursuit, they lost their original happiness, even if they succeeded in having fame and profit later, they are not happy, but what about suffering?
Many people put down their family affection and friendship for fame and fortune, and wait until later to see that these are the most important things in life, but these have disappeared and can no longer be found, so they can only sigh emptyly. We must not be dissatisfied, otherwise we will only regret it.
There was once such a story:
In the primeval forests of South America, there is a bird that is emerald green and has a circle of gray texture, like a circle of waves, hence the name Kingfisher. Although this bird is beautiful, it is busy building its nest every day, so it looks listless and tired. The only feature of the Kingbo Nest is its huge size, one by one on the trees, and the scene is very spectacular.
But these huge nests also make people wonder, Kingfisher is a small bird, the body length is not more than five or six centimeters, but why do they build nests that are several times larger than their own bodies, or even more than ten times?
To solve the mystery, an zoologist conducted an experiment. He made a huge cage and caught a kingfisher bird to observe its nesting process. What he didn't expect was that the Kingfisher bird had only built a nest that could hold its own body size, and then it stopped working.
This aroused great interest from scholars, and he caught a Kingfisher bird in a cage to see how it was built.
But this time the situation suddenly changed, the bird was put into the cage, and it did not take long to start vigorously building a nest, and the one that had stopped building began to expand the nest madly, and the two nests became larger and larger.
After a few days, the two birds were visibly tired and slowed down.
A few days later, the one that had been sent in died, and after the bird died, the other one immediately stopped building the nest, which was really puzzling. The scholar then caught another kingfisher bird and placed it in a cage, just as it had happened earlier. The scholar fell into deep thought, and suddenly understood that the reason why the Kingfisher bird kept busy was comparison.
This kind of bird comparison psychology is too strong, can not tolerate other people's nests are larger than their own, once found that other birds build new "houses", it is busy expanding the nest, the two birds in the experiment are actually exhausted.
Our life is also like a kingfisher nesting, if you want to really get happy, live easily, you can't always take others as a reference, many times you are satisfied. Anyone, anything, just try, try hard. You don't have to make your body work too hard, and you don't have to fill your mind with sadness. Always staring at other people's lives, you will not see your own happiness. People do not argue, they are relaxed; things are not compared, all the way is smooth; the heart does not seek, and a life of peace is calm.
