#人生追求的目标到底是什么? #
During a late-night meditation, I was deeply touched by a quote from my sister: "The ultimate goal of life is peace." "It made me doubt the peace, happiness, freedom, and even fame and fortune that I had been seeking.
Calm, it seems, is an unsustainable state, and our emotions always inevitably fluctuate. Life is full of surprises and distractions, such as being asked to juggle menial tasks during a break, or being suddenly called to a meeting during a stressful workday, which can stir up our mood swings.
I've been in situations where a colleague suddenly asks for help before leaving work, or is interrupted when you need to be quiet. These trivial things, although small, are enough to make people unhappy.
However, I had a high school classmate whose attitude to life gave me a different inspiration. He told me that his life was "peaceful". He has a stable job and spends his weekends indulging in photography and enjoying his favorite desserts. His life is full of serenity and contentment, which is in stark contrast to his impatient personality in the past.
His transformation made me realize that the society we live in is full of pressure and impetuousness, but we can't change the environment, we can only adjust our mentality. He reminded me not to let material desires overwhelm our spiritual pursuits.
We are often in a hurry, eager for quick success, but may end up with nothing. Not everyone is fit for a fast-paced life, and not everyone can achieve great things at a young age. Sometimes, we just need more time and we need patience.
We need to learn to be comfortable with difficult colleagues, annoying bosses, or trivial things in life. No matter how mood swings, problems will eventually need to be resolved, and life will return to peace.
When we think back to the rhetoric of our youth, we may feel uneasy and guilty, but these emotions do not change reality. We should realize that the ups and downs of our minds do not help solve the problem, but only increase our troubles.
Although I have not yet achieved my dream, I firmly believe that as long as I remain calm and persistent, that day will come. I believe that no matter how difficult it is now, everything will pass and everything will be fine.
