There is a topic that has always been very popular, and that is "lying flat".
Choosing to "lie flat" sounds really tempting. No more going against your heart to do things you don't like, no more forcing your face to laugh in order to pander to others.
How nice!
Tao Yuanming is a ruthless person, and I envy him. He, an old brother, thinks very clearly.
Resigned and went home to farm, although life is hard and tiring, but spiritually free, and the heart is truly liberated.
As long as you are diligent, it is still no problem to fill your stomach. Imagine how carefree Tao Yuanming lived at that time, just like a fish returning to the water and a bird re-entering the mountains and forests.
Once during the Double Ninth Festival, the chrysanthemums in front of his house were in full bloom, and he was addicted to alcohol. But he didn't have the money to buy wine, so what should he do? He sat among the flowers, holding a few chrysanthemums in his hand, and amusing himself.
At this time, a friend came, carrying a pot of wine, and the two sat in the chrysanthemum bush and drank it. That picture, on one side is the fragrance of chrysanthemums, and on the other hand, the fragrance of wine is overflowing, it is simply a fairyland on earth.
Of course, life is not only poetic, but also rain, snow, wind and frost. Once Tao Yuanming's house was hit by a fire, and the already not wealthy family was even worse. The fire burned the family to nothing, and the family was confined to the boat at the door, hungry to the back. At this time, Tao Yuanming had no choice but to pick some lotus seeds to satisfy his hunger.
This day passed, even the old peasant couldn't stand it anymore, and persuaded him: "You are a great literati and a famous person, you should have a better way out, why are you so high, let yourself and your family live such a hard life?" But Tao Yuanming is Tao Yuanming, he waved his hand and said: "My nature is like this, I really can't do it." ”
In the eyes of some people, if you don't do it and don't make money, isn't that stupid?
But this is the way this world is, there are always some people who don't want to go along with it, and there are always people who choose to wake up alone while everyone is asleep.
These true brave men, they dare to break free from the eyes of the world, take the road that few people take, and firmly move forward towards their beliefs.
I also wanted to lie flat, but I never dared to.
Because, life is like a big chess game, and every choice has its happy side, and of course, there are corresponding consequences and responsibilities to bear.
We don't expect everything to be perfect, but at least we have to be worthy of our conscience. To be a son, to be a wife, to be a mother, to be a friend...... In different positions, they all have different responsibilities, how dare they lie flat?
If I lie flat, my children will have no food to eat and no money to study; if I lie flat, who will support my mother? If I lie flat, let my husband work hard to support the whole family, and be good to me as always? What if......
So, let's not be too envious of those who "lie flat", we are in different positions, we have different responsibilities on our shoulders, everything is different for us.
Everyone has their own lifestyle and choices, and there is no right or wrong. The key is to find your own joy and fulfillment and live authentically and comfortably.
What about you? Do you dare to lie flat? Can you lie flat?
