The year before last, my family planted a small toon tree in front of my house, saying that I would be able to eat my own toon seedlings in the future.
This little tree is also considered to be competitive, and it has struggled for a fall, but it is really alive.
So, we also began to look forward to our own toons.
Last year, when the spring flowers were blooming, the family went out every day to see, waiting for the toon to sprout, and finally saw the buds, and they were very happy.
But one day, the family said in a very depressed way that after one night, there was not even a single leaf left on the whole tree, and all of them were plucked.
I had no choice but to comfort them:
After all, this tree was planted outside the gate, and people must have thought it was planted in the community, so like us, they are all waiting to pick toon buds.
The family said that someone must have found the little sapling, so they kept squatting. Otherwise, it won't be overnight, and the piece of armor will not be left behind......
I feel a little sorry for them to say that.
This year, the temperature in Beijing has not been rising, so the toon has not sprouted.
A few days ago, my family told me that the toons were starting to sprout, and they would definitely be optimistic about it this time.
I laughed in my heart, estimating that they were going to fail again this time.
As I expected, a few days later, the toon tree once again staged the tragedy of "seeing the tree but not the leaves" - still overnight, again without a single piece of armor.
To comfort my family, I told them:
If it's okay, just treat it as if you were giving alms.
Let's plant trees, everyone benefits, and this blessing will be ours - the blessing is worth more than toon buds, and this transaction is cost-effective!
After saying that, I thought about it myself, and I also felt very happy.
Because, in the past, the thinking was: I planted the tree, and I picked the leaves, so why should others sit back and enjoy it?
With this attachment, troubles will arise immediately, and the mood will immediately be bad, and people will feel that they have been taken advantage of.
And now the thinking is: I planted the tree, the leaves are picked by everyone, and the more people benefit from it, the happier I am.
As soon as this idea of "giving" came out, I only felt in a good mood, and I didn't care about it at all.
So, emotions are the actors, and thinking is the director.
It's hard to control your emotions.
But if you look through emotions and observe what kind of thinking behind it causes this emotion to appear, it is much simpler.
Once you see it, change it, and your emotions don't care about it, and they will fend for themselves.
Therefore, as long as the thinking is corrected and the thinking is in harmony, an effective thinking will definitely bring positive emotions.
Because, all positive feelings in life are born from the way.
Hehe, although I have a toon tree that I can't eat, I have a good opportunity to be aware of my mind, and my neighbors have also benefited.
This toon tree is really a good teacher for me!
Thanks for everything!
