Ladies and gentlemen, before reading, I would like to remind you that although this article is interesting and philosophical, it is for entertainment reference only, and you should not be superstitious!
Since ancient times, the topic of fate has always been with us on the journey of people's lives.
Fate, how mysterious and profound you are! Like the bottomless ancient well, sometimes calm as a mirror, sometimes turbulent.
The ancients said: "Life and death are fate, and wealth is in the sky." ”
However, in this complicated human theater, there are always so many kinds of people, whose fate seems to be particularly "favored" by God, and their lives are full of twists and turns, and their fates are full of twists and turns. Is it God's trick, or is it the cause and effect of previous lives? Today, let us unveil the mystery of these five types of people who are "specially cared for" by fate.
The first type of person is the unpaid person whose ambition is "higher than the sky and life thinner than paper".
With the ambition of Lingyun in his heart, he longs to soar to the sky, but fate is like a thin piece of paper, which may be broken if he pokes it lightly.
This kind of people's state of mind is just like what is said in the Book of Songs: "The pine on the high mountain, the wind in the valley." "They aspire to be like the green pines on the high mountain, standing tall in the wind, but they are often ridiculed by the cold wind of fate.
A typical representative of this kind of person, you might as well think about the hero Yue Fei in history. He was "ambitious to eat Hulu meat, laugh and drink the blood of the Huns", full of pride, and wanted to be loyal to the country and recover the lost land. However, in the end, he was imprisoned for "trumped-up" crimes, and his ambition died before he was rewarded, isn't this a true portrayal of "the heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper"?
It's not that they lack the ability to realize their dreams, but that they lack the luck to fight against fate.
When heaven and earth come together, the heroes are not free.
This is like the fate of the Buendía family described in "One Hundred Years of Solitude", although generations have had genius abilities, they are always trapped by the circle of fate and cannot escape.
As the saying goes, "It's gold that always shines". For this kind of person, what they need is not to complain, but to accumulate and wait patiently for the opportunity that belongs to them.
Just like the seeds of hibernation, they silently accumulate strength in the cold winter, and when the spring flowers bloom, they will break through the soil and bloom the wonder of life.
"Your heart is higher than the sky, and your life is thinner than paper", don't be discouraged and don't give up.
Remember the old saying that Uncle Wang next door often talks about: "There will be times when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds and sails will help the sea." "As long as you stick to your faith and move forward bravely, one day you will ride the wind and waves and realize the ambition in your heart.
The second type of person is the person who "does not know the blessing in the midst of blessings".
This kind of person holds the treasure that others dream of, and is in comfort and prosperity, but still sighs and sighs, and the dissatisfaction is overflowing.
They are like the ancient poem "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain", obviously in the beautiful scenery, but because of the lack of appreciation and do not know its preciousness.
Thinking about Jia Baoyu in "Dream of Red Mansions", he was born in Zhong Mingding's family, surrounded by countless love and glory, but he often feels that life is boring and sad. If he can understand the truth that "those who are content are always happy," he may be able to change his mood and discover the beauty of life.
The problem with this type of person is that they always look at what they are missing and ignore what they already have.
As the saying goes, "Man always can't see the sawdust in his own eyes, but he can see the thorns in the eyes of others." They should learn to "drink water and think of the source" as the ancients did, and be grateful for every gift in life.
There is a saying in the "Three Character Classic": "If jade is not cut, it will not be made." "The privileges that these people possess are a valuable resource for them to refine themselves and become better people.
Unfortunately, they often turn a blind eye and indulge in meaningless complaints.
In "How Steel is Made", the protagonist Paul Kochagin faces the hardships of life, but always maintains a spirit of perseverance. Compared with Paul, shouldn't these people who "don't know the blessings in the midst of blessings" cherish what they have and bravely face the challenges of life?
Grandma Wang of the community also often said to the younger generation: cherish the blessings in front of you, don't wait for the time to think.
If such a person can understand this, he will surely find that life is full of beauty and happiness.
May they wake up as soon as possible, learn to cherish and be grateful, and let the flower of life bloom with more brilliant brilliance.
The third type of person is the wise man who is "clever but mistaken by cleverness".
This kind of person is gifted and wise, but he is often too shrewd to get caught up in the game he has set up.
They are like Zhuge Liang in ancient legends, although they can strategize and win thousands of miles, they also have the loss of the street pavilion, a momentary mistake, and the overall situation is lost. This is just like Wu Yong in "Water Margin", although he is full of wisdom, but there are also times when he misses, and his cleverness is mistaken by cleverness.
Uncle Wang said: "Being overly smart is a burden. This kind of person is precisely because he is too smart, so he is often too calculating, but the result is that "the agency is too clever and mistakes Qingqing's life".
They need to understand that sometimes, simplicity is wisdom and simplicity is the true meaning.
"Sun Bin Art of War" has a cloud: "Knowing the other and knowing oneself will not be defeated in a hundred battles; knowing oneself without knowing the other, one victory and one defeat; not knowing the other, not knowing oneself, every battle will be destroyed." ”
Napoleon's war against Russia: This is a negative example. When Napoleon's army attacked Russia, it did not know enough about the winter climate and terrain of Russia, nor did it prepare enough clothing and food. Ignorance of the enemy and blind confidence in oneself ultimately led to the crushing defeat of Napoleon's army.
Although this kind of person is smart, he often only knows himself but does not know the other, ignores the changes in the external environment, and finally is mistaken by the smart. They need to learn to be fully informed and not act on their own cleverness.
"If a person is not a sage, who can be without fault?" "No matter how wise a person is, there are times when he makes mistakes, so don't be too conceited, and always be humble and cautious.
Lao Tzu said: "Great wisdom is foolish, great ingenuity is clumsy." "Learning to find a balance between being smart and stupid can avoid the dilemma of being smart and being mistaken by smart.
The fourth type of person is the one who "takes a wrong step, takes a wrong step".
Such people, often due to impulse or greed, make wrong choices, and from then on, it is like falling into the abyss, falling step by step.
Their situation can't help but remind people of those ancient stories that destroy their future because of small mistakes and short-sightedness.
For example, in the story of "The Wolf and the Lamb" in Aesop's fable, the wolf not only loses the opportunity to eat a full meal because of his greed and ferocity, but also exposes his ferocious nature, and has since been guarded against by other animals.
In ancient times, there was also a chess game proverb that "if you are not careful, you will lose the whole game", which warns people to be careful with every move, otherwise they will lose the whole game. This kind of "one wrong step, one wrong step" people have not learned such a lesson.
Impulsiveness often leads to a series of mistakes and dilemmas that follow.
In the Analects, Confucius once admonished his disciples: "Think twice before acting." This sentence is even more reasonable for this kind of person.
Uncle Wang of the community also taught that before acting, you should think carefully and weigh the pros and cons, rather than acting on impulse or greed.
In modern literature, there are also many works that depict the tragedy of such people. For example, in some novels and movies, the protagonist embarks on the path of crime due to greed or impulse, and ends up in prison, losing his freedom and dignity. These works are a warning to us to be cautious and not to ruin our lives on impulse.
As the saying goes: "One misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred, and then it has been a hundred years to turn back." This sentence profoundly reveals the tragedy of such people.
The wrong choice for a moment has paid a heavy price, and you may even regret it for the rest of your life.
Proceed with caution and think twice.
After all, life is like chess, and if you make one wrong move, you may lose all the games.
A typical example of "one wrong step, one wrong step" can refer to Jia Lian in "Dream of Red Mansions".
Jia Lian, as the eldest grandson of Rongguo Mansion, was originally from a famous family and had a bright future. However, because of his impulsiveness and greed, he had an affair with Bao Erjia and others, and committed an act of infidelity to his marriage. This wrong start led to a series of subsequent predicaments and mistakes.
His infidelity was discovered by Wang Xifeng, which caused a fierce quarrel between the husband and wife, and even moved his hands, which seriously damaged the relationship between the husband and wife. This not only affected his family harmony, but also affected his status in Rongguo Mansion.
In order to cover up his mistakes, Jia Lian had to turn to Wang Xifeng for help, which further exacerbated the tension between their husband and wife. At the same time, he also fell into more complicated interpersonal relationships, and had to be on guard everywhere, for fear that his scandal would be exposed.
Jia Lian's wrong step not only made him lose his bottom line in personal morality, but also put his position in the family and society in jeopardy.
His wrong choice cost him dearly, including the breakdown of his family, the damage to his reputation, and his inner torment.
The fifth type of person is the unfortunate person who is "jealous of the talent".
They are gifted and talented, but they often cross the sky like meteors, short and dazzling.
Whenever this kind of person is mentioned, people always think of those talented and beautiful people who died young, they are like the brightest stars in the night sky, but they fall prematurely.
The fate of such people seems to be envied by some invisible force, as the ancients said: "The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds." However, for them, this "great responsibility" seemed too heavy for the gods of fate to bear it any longer.
There is a cloud in the Tao Te Ching: "The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more loss." However, in these people who are jealous of the talented, we see the injustice of the way of heaven.
Their talents and potential, which could have been a force for changing the world, were prematurely robbed by fate.
In modern literature, Esmeralda in Notre-Dame de Paris is a prime example. She is beautiful, kind, and talented, but in the end she cannot escape a tragic fate. Her early death not only made the protagonists of the book grief-stricken, but also made the readers feel the cruelty of fate.
In ancient poems, there are also many good sentences that describe such people. For example, Li Yu's "When is the spring flower and autumn moon? It reveals infinite regret for the lost talent. These poems are not only a mourning for the loss of life, but also a helplessness and indictment of the impermanence of fate.
There is no shortage of such examples in mythological stories. Like Orpheus in Greek mythology, he had unparalleled musical talent, but lost his beloved wife due to the trick of fate. Although his music can move heaven and earth, it cannot restore the lives that have been lost.
The ancients said: "Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement." "No matter what situation we find ourselves in, we should keep a positive heart and face life's challenges bravely.
Only in this way can we gain a firm foothold in the whirlpool of fate and walk out of our own path.
However, fate is not absolute, as long as we face it bravely and change positively, we can always find our own bright road.
I hope every reader can find their own happiness and success in life!
