The husband is childlike, absolutely false and innocent,
The original thought is also the heart.
If you lose your childlike heart, you lose your true heart;
If you lose your true heart, you lose your real person.
People are not true, and there is no more beginning.
——Ming Li Xian, "Childlike Heart Talk"
Growing up is a trade, exchanging simple innocence and unqualified whiteness for the courage to grow up.
We grow up little by little, mature little by little, lose our childishness little by little; More and more sleek, more and more worldly, life no longer has the simple joy of childhood.
Childish, not willful fooling, but sincere and frank, transparent and open-minded. Looking at problems like a child is not childish, but a valuable quality, a precious childlike heart.
■ Childishness is a kind of sincerity and frankness
Mr. Tao Xingzhi once said: Often adults write articles of several thousand words, although there are no typos or incomprehensible, but they are not interesting and worthless. The child writes very short, with some typos or inconsistencies, but it is interesting because he is real.
Childishness is a kind of sincerity. As we get older, we begin to slowly learn to weave lies and hide ourselves. We began to speak insincerely, to be inconsistent with our words and deeds, and to lose our true selves little by little.
Lao Tzu said in the Tao Te Ching: Chang Virtue does not depart, and returns to the baby. This means that eternal virtue does not depart and returns to the innocence of the infant.
Maintain a childlike heart, be frank and sincere, in order to live frankly.
After decades of life, if you can't live according to your heart, every day is a disguised calculation, it will be too tiring.
Truth is the foundation of life, without the foundation, life is just an ethereal castle in the air, no matter how much you get, the person who receives it is not yourself, what is the point.
Maintaining a sincerity, a clear conscience, and openness is the greatest luck in life.
■ Childishness is a kind of transparency and open-mindedness
Zhou Guoping said: All people who are childlike must have a considerable understanding of life, and have a transparency and open-mindedness.
As a child, there are very few things you really need, a sand pile, a toy, you can be happy for half a day. As I grow up, I want more and more things and worry more and more.
We used to be children without hearts and lungs, but we ended up becoming adults with gains and losses. There are too many adults who can't let go and can't look away, that's why they live so tired.
The Tao Te Ching says: "The crowd is bustling, like enjoying too much prison, like spring on the stage." I am alone, and I am not amen; Chaos, like a baby's child.
It probably means that everyone is bustling, you sing and I appear, only I am indifferent and quiet, like a child who has not grown up.
Happiness is not how much money you make, nor how famous you are, but to maintain a childlike heart, maintain a pure and natural nature, and put aside your gains and losses in order to live freely.
■ Childishness is the ability to love life
As a child, the days seemed to have no end. After becoming an adult, but I feel that time is like an arrow, and in a flash, there is gray hair on the sideburns, and in an instant, I am old?
In childhood, curiosity drives us to discover life, so every day is new. In adulthood, because of school, work, family, and the three points and one line, everyone is repeating themselves.
Decades like a day, how can you not feel that time is easy to pass?
As we get older, we experience setbacks, understand the complexity of the human heart, and know the utilitarianism and indifference of the world. There is less and less curiosity about the world, and less love for life.
The beginning of aging, not wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, nor gray hair on the head, but a person, begins to have more and more difficulty accepting new ideas and new things.
Stop learning, the breadth of thinking and the length of life, begin to solidify, keep solidifying, until it becomes stubborn. Only by remaining curious can we constantly enrich and renew our lives.
Although a person's face is aging, his knowledge and experience are growing dramatically, and every day of his life is changing. With such a life that is renewed every day, can we say that he is old?
Mencius said: He who is an adult does not lose his heart. Truly great people are childlike people. Childlike is not an age, but an ability, an ability to maintain a zest for life.
With this ability, you will not be defeated, and you will not age easily.
