Idle, have a taste
Busy, heart dead also! Too busy, people become tools of interest and materiality, and it is difficult to appreciate the true happiness of being a human being.
Therefore, people need to take a break from their daily busy lives.
The reason why the Tang Dynasty poet Li Shi's "stealing a floating life for half a day" has become a famous sentence for thousands of years is precisely because it writes about people's desire and pursuit of idleness.
Of course, idleness is not idleness and wasted time.
Mr. Liang Shiqiu said: Idle, there must be taste.
It is also leisure, and how to arrange it is particularly important.
Some people put the rare leisure time in their lives on some boring pastimes, and they have never been separated from the hustle and bustle of this world.
In the hustle and bustle of day after day, I was wrapped up in the times and slowly lost myself.
Some people, make full use of leisure time, cultivate themselves, reserve energy, improve themselves, and get closer and closer to their dreams in a step-by-step process.
Life, it is precisely because of the difference in leisure time that it is divided into high and low.
But we all know that our idle home is exactly where the frontline anti-epidemic fighters sometimes want to go back.
We should cherish this rare time – or spend time with our families.
Feel the warmth in the waiting; or enjoy the tranquility and enrich the heart in solitude; or read and study, and accumulate energy in self-discipline; or record life and perceive beauty in details.
Busy, be valuable
During the "May Day" holiday, although some people have the opportunity to idle, they choose to be busy.
The same is what Mr. Liang Shiqiu said: busy, to have value.
We cannot extend the length of life, but we can expand the breadth of life by being busy.
In this sense, busyness allows people to appreciate the fullness and richness of life.
Therefore, busy and happy is an irreplaceable value.
The question is, how can you be busy and happy?
Confucius was busy for his ideals, tirelessly traveling around the world. Cao Xueqin was busy for his interest, and a "Dream of the Red Chamber" was read for ten years, adding and deleting five times.
You will only feel busy and happy when you are busy with your ideals and interests.
We see that in the face of the epidemic, when everyone is trying to shrink their own activity space, there is a group - "Big White", but at a speed visible to the naked eye, they are constantly extending their own activity trajectory, and this group of the most lovely people has become the most beautiful landscape in the fight against the epidemic everywhere.
The author's mother-in-law is one of the "great whites", the elderly are nearly sixty years old, lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, high blood pressure long-term medication.
In this way, she still joined the "great white", often sweating under the airtight protective clothing, but did not even dare to drink water, because the last toilet was too troublesome.
Every day, when she got up early and returned home late, her mother-in-law rarely said that she was bitter or tired, because she was afraid that we would stop her.
In exchange for the safety of others and the safety of the city, this is the value of busyness.
This value, not to show off, is the meaning of one's own existence.
……
By escaping from the material world through leisure, finding the true self, and realizing the truth, such idleness can taste taste.
Busy for ideals and interests, get what you want, busy with fun, such busy is valuable, will be colorful.
I hope to enjoy the leisure time of us, idle, to live up to the hardships of those who carry the burden of urban safety!
Happy Labor Day!
