Over fifty years old, there is a high-level way of living, called "peace"

01

Over fifty years old, learn to be a "peaceful" person.

The writer Mader said: "Only when people live peacefully can they live the true taste of life." ”

The older I get, the more I have a personal understanding of this sentence.

Work for most of your life, try your best, maybe still in that position, obscure. And those who are younger than themselves have become their own leaders stubble after stubble, some people are arrogant, some people do not forget their old friendships, coming and going, like a big drama.

Treat people and things, only know how to give sincerely, in exchange for the sincerity of a few, encountered teasing, use and ridicule, and finally understand that there is no need to invite too many people into their lives.

Treat everything around you, the more you want to grasp it, the more it backfires, whether it is repentant or not, trying to make up for it, the ending is often unexpected. I also gradually persuaded myself that everything should be done and obeyed the destiny of heaven.

Life will not stop because of your anxiety and dissatisfaction, waiting for you to become happy and calm and go on the road. It is always day and night, rolling forward, no matter how much you are unwilling, unwilling, unwilling, you must learn to surrender, compromise and be willing.

Like the Q&A from "The Song of Patience in The Cold Mountain":

Han Shan asked, "How should some people in the world slander me, insult me, despise me, laugh at me, deceive me, and despise me?" ”

He replied, "And you put up with him, let him, avoid him, be patient with him, be by him, respect him, and ignore him." In a few years, you will look at him. ”

Yes, at the age of fifty, when I reached the age of "knowing the destiny of heaven" as the ancients called it, what else could I not open, put down, or think of? In this way, learn to be a "peaceful" person,

Peaceful people, coarse tea and light rice, can also eat a different kind of delicious.

Life is alive, but it is for three meals a day, running around.

It's just that human desires are endless. From "stuttering on the line" to wine and vegetables, meat and soup; from coarse tea and light rice to mountain treasures and seafood, some people are content and happy, and some people are difficult to fill in the gully, and the days are completely different.

Tang Xuanzong fell in love with his daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan, and not only made her a noble concubine, but also promoted her two sisters to Lady Yuguo and Lady Qin respectively, and her cousin Yang Guozhong to chancellor.

The so-called "one person gets the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven", and the Yang family brothers and sisters thus become relatives of the emperor and the state. Regarding eating, there are poems describing: the peak of the purple camel out of the green kettle, the crystal plate of the plain scales. The rhinoceros has not been fed for a long time, and the knife has cut through the controversy.

Meaning: camel meat in the emerald pot, fish meat in the crystal plate. But they were holding the chopsticks of the rhino horn, but they said that they had no appetite, and the chefs were busy in vain.

Such precious ingredients, carefully cooked, were originally the "privileges" that only the royal family deserved, but the Yang family brothers and sisters issued a "Versailles" style spit, do not know that while satisfying the vanity of showing off wealth and power, they also buried the curse of being given death in the future.

Glory and wealth are difficult to seek, and it is even more necessary to manage it with care for a long time.

Only a peaceful person will give up his merits, will be content and happy, and will live in the present.

Like Confucius's repeated praise of Yan Hui, he is still as happy as ever.

Life is happy geometric, of course, the best food and clothing, coarse tea and light rice are not indispensable, as long as the state of mind is peaceful, even if it is a bowl of white porridge, it can also taste thousands of tastes, lips and teeth remain fragrant.

Peaceful people, that are in the dark alleys, can also sleep peacefully, and have good dreams.

I don't know when it began, a good night's sleep has become a luxury.

Busy during the day, still thinking about it at night, there are always unclear and chaotic worries, staying up late has become a bad habit that cannot be changed, and physical and mental health has encountered great challenges.

In fact, where you don't want to sleep, you really can't put it down: because of the leader's words and repeated speculation, because of the customer's difficulty and painstaking thoughts, because of the people and things that have interests and things and toss and turn. Such sleepless nights have become a nightmare for many people, who want to escape, but they can't escape.

For a person who lives a transparent and open-minded life, all the troubles before going to bed, there will still be when you wake up, but everything will eventually pass, rather than being so anxious that you can't fall asleep, it is better to sleep happily first, and then face it positively, which is the simplest source of happiness.

Su Shi, a great poet of the Song Dynasty, was repeatedly degraded throughout his life and had a bumpy career, but wherever he went, he lived and worked in peace and contentment, ate well, and slept well. In case you can't sleep, either get up and look at the stars, or look at the moon, and never live up to the beautiful scenery.

For example, in the legendary Chengtian Temple night tour, Su Shi was going to sleep when he undressed, and when he saw the moonlight, he ran to find his friend Zhang Huaimin, and the two of them walked and chatted in the moonlight, and returned home with fun.

Later, Su Shi returned to the capital to become an official, and still retained a small habit: getting up early every day, combing his hair, wearing a good coat, and then taking a nap with his clothes. He said that the beauty of the taste of this nap was incomparable.

If you don't have a peaceful heart, where can you sleep when you want?

Peaceful people, being their own heroes, live as a landscape in the eyes of others.

People are always accustomed to looking outward, looking at distant landscapes, and seeing the wonderfulness of others. But he only forgot to look at himself, and because of this, he did not dare to be himself.

Cartoonist Cai Zhizhong once wrote an article "Be Your Own Hero", he wrote: "I work 360 days a year, 16 to 18 hours a day, but all my life, I have been doing the most joyful and enjoyable things." ”

That's because, when he was 4 years old, dad gave him a little chalkboard and taught him to write. And he, since then, has fallen in love with reading, writing, painting, and making a wish, as long as he does not die, he will paint for a lifetime.

With this obsession and concentration, he has become a well-known cartoonist and a beautiful landscape in the eyes of others.

In fact, everyone can go their own way and live their most wonderful appearance.

Like the cartoonist Cai Zhizhong, his heart is very calm, whether he becomes famous or not, he will stick to the love of his heart to the end.

The peaceful man turned out to be the most powerful man.

Conclusion:

The writer Mader said: "Peace is actually a person's heart, from narrow to vast, from crazy to calm, from complex to simple, tolerant, tolerant, can, can forgive." ”

So, after turning fifty, let yourself be a peaceful person, and you will find that the world is lovely and worth loving.
