Our life is like an hourglass, and the sand passes bit by bit, and it will eventually come to an end. However, in this process, we do not grow old slowly, but in an instant. This kind of perception has been mentioned in their works by two literary masters, Mo Yan and Haruki Murakami.
Mo Yan wrote in his novel "Frog": "People grow old overnight. This sentence sounds thought-provoking, but it is elusive. We are always lamenting the passage of time, but we forget when we started to grow old. In fact, growing old is not a slow process, but a moment, a moment that we cannot escape.
Haruki Murakami has a similar description in "Norwegian Wood": "People always pursue happiness, but they forget the meaning of happiness. Indeed, we are always in pursuit of happiness, but we forget to cherish the beauty in front of us. When we realize that we have lost at some point, it dawns on us that we have grown old.
We are always complaining about the troubles of life and the pressure of work, but we forget that we used to be good. We are always chasing more wealth, higher status, but we have forgotten our passion. We are always looking for the definition of happiness and forget that happiness is all around us.
People don't grow old slowly, but in an instant. At this moment, it may be the pain of losing a loved one, it may be the deterioration of health, it may be the estrangement between friends, it may be the disappointment of life. In this moment, we change from youth to maturity, from happiness to sadness, from enthusiasm to indifference.
However, this moment also allows us to understand the true meaning of life. We begin to know how to cherish, know how to be grateful, and know how to give. We are beginning to understand that the meaning of life is not only the pursuit of material wealth, but also the growth of the soul. We begin to pursue inner peace, harmony with nature, and sincerity in relationships.
This moment makes us understand the shortness of life. We started to focus on physical health, on mental health, on relationships. We begin to learn to let go of the pain of the past, let go of the sorrows of the past, let go of the worries of the future. We begin to live in the moment, cherishing every moment of joy and every moment of sadness.
People don't grow old slowly, but in an instant. At this moment, we can change from children to adults, from adults to old people. This moment makes us understand the impermanence of life and the fragility of life. This moment makes us know how to cherish the people in front of us and cherish the things in front of us.
This moment makes us understand what is the most important thing in life. It's not money, it's not status, it's not fame, it's family, friendship, love. These feelings make us feel warmth and happiness in the moment of life.
At this moment, let's pay tribute to Mo Yan and Haruki Murakami for revealing the truth of life with words. Let us also learn from them, use words to express the beauty of life, to convey the perception of life.
Finally, let us cherish every moment of life, live in the moment, and cherish the people in front of us. Because, life is short and fleeting. Let us live a wonderful and happy life in the moment of life.
