I love watching Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I love books, and I can't stop looking at TV dramas. I like the charm of the characters in it; I like the wisdom and scheming in it; I lament the grandeur and grandeur of the ancient war scenes... Until one day, when I saw the four words on the TV screen again - "Three Kingdoms Return to Jin", I had another taste in my heart - my thoughts stagnated, and I sighed infinitely!
What is the "Taoyuan Three Knots of Righteousness", what is the "Hero of Cooking Wine", what is the "Battle of Guandu", what is "Three Gu Maolu", what is "Tongue Fighting Confucianism", what is "Burning Chibi", what is "Cutting Six Generals Through Five Levels"... No matter how wonderful the story, no matter how unique the plan, no longer have the courage of the ancients, after the final "Return of the Three Kingdoms", the past has become smoke, and everything has become a "floating cloud"!
"How many things in ancient and modern times are in the midst of laughter and talk!"
So why should you care about a momentary frustration; why should you look at a momentary gain or loss; why should you fall into endless anxiety and be unable to extricate yourself? There are gains, there must be losses; there are losses, there must be gains, "success or failure turn to the void", looking back, why should life be too calculated?
We always envy people who are "high and powerful"; we always worship people who "enter the day and fight gold"; we always pursue "dazzling" people... Forgetting your own pace, forgetting your own positioning, forgetting your own goals, becoming living for others, existing for others, this is the reason why you are "ignorant", "so ambitious", and "miserable" every day. The people you envy, worship, and pursue, how do you know that they don't want to return to plain, plain as you!
"White-haired fisherman on the river, used to watch the autumn moon and spring breeze." Treat the tricky things and the sudden things with a normal mind, and then you look back and see that all the problems are not problems; all the blows are like painless comforts; all the problems will disappear.
I used to sleep through the night because of a big exam; I would be overwhelmed by an unfinished job; I would be angry because of the criticism of the leader... In hindsight, it was only a part of life and work, and eventually like a ripe dandelion seed, it drifted with the wind until it disappeared without a trace.
Perhaps the Buddha is the most clear-sighted, abandoning the seven passions and six desires, the love of children, and the complexity of the world, and returning to nature, returning to the law, and returning to the self. Do not compete with the world for fame, do not seek profits from the world, and do not compare with the world. "The world is drunk and I am awake", thinking about this, I think you must be more comfortable than now!
Maybe everyone has their own destiny, some people are proud, some people are frustrated; some people are developed, some people are depressed; some people are successful, and some people are doing nothing. And in the eyes of future generations, you may know and understand you as a person; perhaps you have never appeared at all. So, after the fact, it is all floating clouds, what else are you thinking about?
The great people of history are countless; the nameless people are more like the stars in the night sky, living well in the present, doing a good job of themselves, why not enjoy it?
"Looking back for a hundred years", to achieve "not to be happy with things, not to be sad with yourself", floating clouds are also meaningful floating clouds!
