Life is not long, it is not short.
Many things can be done today, can be done tomorrow, and can be done the day after tomorrow. But there are two things that can't wait.
The two things that cannot wait, one is filial piety, the other is goodness.
01
Filial piety must be done in a timely manner.
One of the most important words in the I Ching is "shi."
Confucius looked at the rushing river and sighed: "The deceased is like a sifu, who does not give up day and night." ”
Human life is limited, and the legend says that Peng Zu, the longest-lived, only lived for eight hundred years. How to dance with time is a lesson that people must master.
Human life is limited, this is destiny. But filial piety is also the inescapable fate of man.
Zhuangzi of the Taoist school is obsessed with the heavens and the earth and the mountains, but he said that as a child who loves and respects his parents, this is the innate destiny, and the moment of being a child is concerned about his parents, and it is impossible to lift it in his heart.
Time passes, life is limited, filial piety to parents should be timely, otherwise it will leave regrets.
A boss with a lot of money said to his father, what wishes you have, being a son will definitely help you realize.
His father said, "When I was older, I had no other wishes, so I wanted to climb Tiananmen Square and go to Chairman Mao's Memorial Hall to see it."
The son patted his chest and said, Dad, what is this, I have time to accompany you.
A year later, the father reminded his son, didn't you say that you had time to accompany me to Beijing to see?
The son patted his head and said that the business was too busy and had forgotten about it. Dad, I will definitely accompany you next year.
Another year passed, and the father reminded his son, didn't you say that you had time to accompany me to Beijing to see?
The son patted his brain shell and said, Dad, I'm really sorry, the business is too busy, and I forgot about this matter, I will accompany you next year.
The third year has passed, looking at the busy son, the old man wants to talk and stop... A few years later, the old man suddenly fell ill and died.
My son is in pain, what is the use of me making so much money, your wish to go to Beijing has not been fulfilled with you.
The tree wants to be quiet and the wind is not stopping, and the son wants to raise and not to be kissed.
02
Filial piety, you are obedient.
Easy way to change, each positive life. But there is one constant behind the change, and that is sincerity.
Confucius once said, "I don't want to talk anymore." ”
Zigong accompanied the attendant and hurriedly asked, "Teacher, you are not talking, what do our descendants write about?" ”
Confucius said, "Did the heavens speak?" Four o'clock running, all things grow, does the heavens speak? ”
The sky does not speak, but the cold comes and goes, the four seasons change, and everything is abundant. Heaven has never changed all this, and this is the sincerity of Heaven.
Filial piety is the most sincere emotion under the heavens.
Zeng San was the most filial of Confucians, but Zhuangzi tells a story.
Zeng Said Sadly: "My salary in the past was only three pots, but I was very happy; now I earn three thousand hours, which is ten thousand times that of the past, but my parents have passed away, and I often feel sad." ”
Confucius said: "Filial piety to parents has sincere feelings, and the three pots and the three thousand bells are the same." ”
In the Book of Filial Piety, it is said: "Filial piety begins with relatives, and finally stands up." ”
Filial piety, providence, obedience to human feelings, the sincere heart of filial piety to parents, pushing it to do things, pushing it to being a person, how can life not be smooth?
03
Doing good is the recipe for changing lives.
Ordinary people are bound by fate and cannot be liberated.
There are only two types of people whose fate cannot hold him, one kind of person is a particularly stubborn person, who is good at going to extremes, who does evil without considering the consequences, and a good hand of cards will also be broken by him;
The other kind of person is the one who does good, who accumulates virtue by doing good deeds, and even if he holds a bad hand, he can change his fate.
In the Zhou area of Eastern Wu, he was a son of an official eunuch, who fought cocks and horses all day, fought and fought, and ran rampant in the township, and the neighbors called him "three pests" together with the tigers in the mountains and the crocodiles in the water.
There was an old man who fooled around and said that you are a big hero, why don't you eliminate the harm for the people and eliminate the tigers and crocodiles?
Around the mountain, he shot the tiger, and then went into the water to kill the crocodile, and floated and sank in the water with the crocodile for three days and three nights. The townspeople thought he was dead and celebrated.
When he returned from killing the crocodile, he found that people were celebrating his "death", and only then did he realize that he was a pest in the eyes of the villagers and regretted it very much.
I went to find the two brothers, Lu Ji and Lu Yun, and Lu Ji was not there, and I saw Lu Yun.
Zhou Fu deeply regretted the past, but he felt that he was older, and it was probably too late to change.
Lu Yun said, "Asahi says, death can be done at night." As long as you act, it is never too late. ”
Zhou Zai is a hard time to change the past, eager to learn, and become a heroic figure who has both literary style and benevolence, righteousness and fierceness.
In life, it is impossible not to make mistakes, mistakes can be changed, and good is great.
The most important thing in life is not to know the truth of goodness, but to take good action immediately.
Some people do a little good, they want to have a return immediately, this is a very superficial idea, only insist on doing good, do good deeds without asking for returns, accumulate virtue for a long time, the strength will change the constant, thus changing fate.
04
Actively do good deeds and do great blessings.
The I Ching tells us: The house of good deeds will have a remnant of celebration, and the house of the unkind will have a remnant of disasters.
Families that accumulate goodness have superfluous celebrations; families that accumulate unwholesomeness have superfluous calamities.
As the saying goes, there is more help for the way, and less help for the wrongdoers. The most you help, the people of the world obey you, and the people of the world will betray you.
If you are helpful, take out the blessing and share it with everyone, the more you help people, the more help you get, and the greater the blessing;
On the contrary, the more people are harmed, the greater the reaction force obtained, and the unlucky ones become, and the losses are multiplied.
In this life, young people should cherish blessings, adults should benefit, and old people have the opportunity to enjoy happiness.
At an early age, we must cherish time, cherish life, not indulge, not lascivious, and develop good habits of hard work, frugality, and hard work.
When adults enter society, they must give full play to their strengths, respect God and love others, be self-interested and altruistic, do more good deeds, and accumulate merit and happiness.
When it is time to enjoy happiness in old age, we must also exert our residual heat and educate future generations.
Whoever says anything will be rewarded with three Chunhui; fate is established by himself, and blessings are asked for by himself.
Although life is limited, although time is hurried, as long as you grasp the present, always remember to be filial to your parents, accumulate virtue and do good, you can achieve happiness and happiness in life and benefit your family and grandchildren.
