We are always busy in life, pursuing all kinds of things, fame, status, money, love...... However, when we experience some ups and downs in life, such as widowhood, we will suddenly wake up and find that all this is like the moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror, after all, it is nothing.
Musk said that the probability that we are living in the real world is only one in a billion. This phrase, while despairing, truly reveals the virtuality of the world we live in. We always think that the world we see is real, but in fact, it is just a model that our brain builds through sensory information. Everything we pursue is a phantom in this model.
Master Hongyi also once said that this world is just a dream, and what you pursue and cherish is just an illusion in this dream. When you wake up, you'll find that everything is gone. Your children and relatives, your family, your feelings and fame are just passers-by in your life, like characters in a dream, they appear in your life and disappear in the long river of time.
Being widowed is undoubtedly one of the most painful experiences in life. When you lose someone you've spent your life with, you suddenly find that everything you've been after loses its meaning. You begin to reflect on what is the meaning of life, and what is the meaning of our existence in this world?
At this time, we will begin to re-examine our lives. We make trade-offs in our lives, no longer pursuing the unreal, and instead focus on the real life. We will begin to cherish every moment, live a quiet and introspective day, tidy ourselves up, settle and precipitate, and then become a gentle and strong person.
When it comes to life, we will make trade-offs, no longer panic, but maintain a calm heart. Treat ourselves, we will be positive and light. When we treat our lovers, we will not cling to them, nor will we climb high. As for the others, some are the icing on the cake, and none are still beautiful.
Life is like a dream, everything is a mirror. However, that doesn't mean we should give up on pursuit. On the contrary, it is precisely because life is like a dream that we should cherish every moment more and live every day well. We should pursue those things that are real and meaningful, and not be deceived by illusory illusions.
In this virtual world, we are all actors, and we are all playing our respective roles. However, we should not be bound by roles and should live our true selves. We should be brave enough to face the challenges of life, brave to pursue our dreams, brave to love, to hate, and to experience the ups and downs of life.
Life is like a dream, everything is a mirror. However, as long as we can keep a clear heart, we will be able to find a real presence in the illusory world. Our lives, although short, are full of infinite possibilities. As long as we want, we can create our own reality in this virtual world.
After being widowed, I re-examined my life and made me understand that life is like a dream, and everything is a mirror. However, this did not make me despair, but made me cherish every moment more and love life more. I believe that as long as we can keep a clear heart, we can find our true existence in this virtual world and live our true selves.
