In this era of rapid development, "involution" has become a portrayal of many people's lives.
In the face of fierce competition, many people always focus on those seemingly important but difficult to control results, so they are entangled in the past, worried about the future, but only ignore the most real life in front of them.
"Between the world and the earth, if the white horse passes through the gap, it will be all of a sudden." This is Zhuangzi's emotion about life, and it is also a wake-up call for each of us.
When we always focus on the results that cannot be changed, our lives are as if we are bound in invisible shackles and cannot breathe freely.
Take exams as an example, many students tend to focus too much on the final test results and ignore the learning process when preparing for the exam. They sacrifice their health and happiness in pursuit of high scores, but they may end up performing abnormally due to excessive anxiety.
In fact, grades are only a way to test the results of learning, and the real wise person should pay more attention to the process of learning and enjoy the fun brought by knowledge.
Looking at the competition in the workplace, some people do not hesitate to sacrifice their physical and mental health in order to pursue higher positions and salaries, and overtime has become commonplace.
They think this is the only way to be successful, but they often neglect other important aspects of life, such as family, friendships, and health. Such a person, even if he ends up with the so-called "success", may feel empty and dissatisfied.
So, how do we get out of this predicament?
First of all, we need to learn to adjust our mindset and understand that the outcome is not the most important thing, but the process and what we can learn from it.
Secondly, we must learn to cherish the life in front of us, and not always be exhausted for a certain goal in the future.
Finally, we need to learn to reject excessive competition, find a lifestyle that suits us, and live a meaningful and happy life.
"Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon." This is Li Bai's famous sentence, which tells us that we should cherish the good time in front of us and enjoy life to the fullest.
Let's let go of our attachment to those uncontrollable outcomes, set our eyes on the wider world, and feel every moment of life with our hearts!
