On the way to getting old, "throw" while walking

Ten thousand rooms in Guangsha, seven feet of sleep at night; a thousand acres of fertile land, only three meals a day.

On the road to getting older, people are eager to keep getting it, always afraid of losing. However, people who want to grasp anything often can't grasp anything, and even if they do, they will inevitably become a burden.

Therefore, really powerful people have learned to "throw" while walking, so that the body and mind can be liberated, and the soul can be free.

01

Throw away the "rarity" in order to stay away from the evil.

"Rare things", as the name suggests, are things that people do not have and that the public cannot hope for. For example, rare pets and playthings such as treasures and precious calligraphy and paintings.

Rich and noble families, who own rare things, are often "righteous", they have money to raise, and they can afford to play. Poor homes, with "rarities", often bring disasters.

In the "Left Biography", it is recorded that Zhou Proverb has it: "Pifu is not guilty, but he is guilty of his crime." ”

This means that as far back as the Zhou Dynasty, people found that an ordinary person had not committed a crime, but once he hid a precious jade bi, it was his "sin". The reason is that if the magnates want to take Yubi for themselves, they will make accusations against him and frame him.

For example, the forty-eighth time in "Dream of the Red Chamber" writes that Shi Nerds are not rich, but they have twenty ancient fans. These fans are favored by Jia Fu and are willing to pay for them. But the stone idiot would rather freeze to death and starve to death than sell it. This matter happened to be known to Jia Yucun, a local official who wanted to curry favor with Jia Province, so he designed to blackmail Shi Duzi into owing official silver, confiscated the fan, and gave it to Jia Fu at an official price. Shi Nerd was forced to commit suicide and used his life to condemn the robbery of the powerful.

What happened to the stone nerd was resentful. But if he knows how to give up and "throws" the fans he can no longer play when he should "throw", perhaps, there will be no only one dead end left.

On the way to getting older, you may wish to have more self-reflection and ask yourself from time to time: "Do you want too much?" ”

Those "rare things" that are obviously not commensurate with identity, status, and economic income may seem to be just an innocuous hobby, but in fact, they have become a "curse". Throw it away as soon as possible so you don't get tired of it.

02

Throw away the "conspicuous objects" to keep you safe.

It is often said that wealth is not revealed. Between words and deeds, keep a low profile and calm, in order to avoid becoming a "head bird", avoid becoming the object of attack and calculation.

The "Chronicle of History" records an adventure of Chen Ping, the founding father of the Western Han Dynasty: on the way out of Xiang Yu to Liu Bang, Chen Ping crossed the Yellow River by boat, and the shipwright saw Chen Ping's appearance and suspected that he was a fugitive general, and the general must have gold and silver, so he prepared to kill people and rob money. Chen Ping found that the atmosphere was not right, and quickly stripped off his clothes to help the boatman row, which dispelled the doubts of the boatman and escaped the disaster.

The older people get, the more "aura" they carry, some people have a little fame, some people have a little wealth, these "fame and profit" are eye-catching "conspicuous things", if they do not know how to hide, but also deliberately show off, it is undoubtedly "digging a pit" for themselves.

My classmate Xiaomei is a particularly cautious person, always low-key and calm in her dealings with the world, and also has a good relationship. Once, while shopping with colleagues, he participated in the shopping mall lottery and won the grand prize, a gold necklace worth five thousand yuan.

When everyone was envious, she made an unexpected move, when the necklace was sold back to the merchant, the money obtained was divided equally, so that the colleagues who went shopping together were happy.

Some people say that Xiaomei is stupid, but Xiaomei said that winning the jackpot means putting yourself in the focus of everyone, if you are not willing to share, throw this "hot potato" out, and maybe sleep is not steady.

As the old saying goes, "If you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves." Those who behave too "conspicuously" may not be so glamorous, but they have successfully stolen the limelight from everyone, which has also attracted jealousy and resentment, and the scourge has been buried.

03

Throw away the "obsession" in order to be at ease.

Khenpo Shiarongbo said: "Because what we want to grasp and rely on is inherently unreliable, it is painful. It is not impermanence that causes suffering, but attachment. ”

When a person is obsessed with something, he cannot attain peace and freedom of mind.

In the parable "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves", the impoverished Ali Baba, after discovering the robbers' treasures, was not too greedy, only taking away the weight he could take away, so he was not discovered.

When Ali Baba's brother Sim learned of this secret, he was eager to drag all the treasures of the treasure cave home, he took ten mules to transport the treasure, and when he selected the treasure, he wanted to take it away better, so much so that he forgot the code word for opening the door. As a result, when he had just recited the correct spell, he happened to encounter the robber who had rushed back, thus losing his life.

Greed, reluctance, inability to let go, and inability to see are all concrete manifestations of attachment. People who are only deeply involved in it will not realize that they have reached the point of "hopeless".

Just like in the workplace, the person who wants to be promoted and raised at the expense of health, works overtime, endures humiliation and burden, even if he is repeatedly suppressed, he still does not give up.

It is true that it is essential to work hard, but it has backfired repeatedly, so it is better to change your thinking and live a different way.

Many times, a person's excellence does not need to be proved by the affirmation of others, and whether a person is good or bad has nothing to do with others.

When we begin to throw away "obsession", we can break free from the tension, can we feel the beauty of life, and can we obtain peace of mind.

Conclusion:

A senior monk once said: Impermanence is not a transitional period of life, but a whole life, whether you like it or not, you must live with it for life.

In the face of a life full of variables, learn to give up while gaining, throw away those inappropriate ideas, practices, and living methods, in order to get closer to happiness and achieve fulfillment little by little.
