In the hustle and bustle of life, we often hear such words: "Don't help too many people, indifference is compassion, help others in moderation, kindness with a knife." This sentence, from the mouth of Nobel Prize winner Mo Yan, is like a bowl of sobering soup in life, which makes people realize some true meanings in their busy lives. Our old friend Mo Yan uses his stories and wisdom to teach us how to understand the warmth and coldness of the world.
"The world is like chess, and the layout is impermanent", this sentence is like a mirror, reflecting the complexity of life. Sometimes, being overzealous and seemingly helping others can inadvertently deprive them of the opportunity to grow themselves. True compassion is not about giving blindly, but knowing how to let go when the time is right and let others learn to walk on their own.
I remember that Mo Yan once said: "Helping others is like pulling out seedlings to grow, which will only backfire." "Sometimes, our kindness can become a bondage and hinder the growth of others. Therefore, what we have to do is to guide, not replace, just like the spring rain moistens things silently, so that the other party can naturally thrive in the wind and rain.
"Kindness has a bottom line, and excessive kindness is connivance." This phrase is like a wake-up call to remind us to have a sense of proportion when doing good. When your kindness becomes a dependence on others, it may no longer be kindness, but a burden. Remember, kindness is a double-edged sword that can warm people's hearts and hurt invisibly.
However, this does not mean that we have to be cold and unforgiving. On the contrary, true indifference is not ruthlessness, but a deliberate respect. It means that when we give help, the first thing we consider is whether the other person needs it and whether it can benefit from it. It's a higher level of compassion, and it's more powerful because you know how to respect.
In this fast-paced world, let's learn to find a balance between indifference and enthusiasm, light the way of others with moderate kindness, and also protect our own hearts. Remember, helping others is like helping the moon, and if it is full, it will be lost, and appropriate blank space will last longer.
These words of Mo Yan are like a beacon that illuminates our way forward, making us understand that kindness is not a blind giving, but a wise choice. In the chess game of life, we must not only maintain a soft heart, but also learn to let go in a timely manner, so that we can find our own life stage between indifference and compassion.
I hope you can forward this article to those who have been confused in life, so that they can feel this wisdom from Mo Yan. After all, life is a practice in which we all learn how to give and receive appropriately. May everyone find compassion in indifference and the strength of kindness in helping others.
