----------------------------------------------
The story I want to talk about today is a state of mind and experience that almost everyone here must have that cannot escape, a bit like the robbery (crossing) in Buddhism, and the things that the Taoists say must go to their opposite.
A few days ago, a child in the group asked everyone a question, saying that he was in high school, and he always couldn't sink his heart to learn what to do, and I said that you go to play, and you can sit still when you play.
The unrealistic fantasies of youth, hitting a wall is good, there is always a process of deviation, there are two endings, one is to let go until hopeless, regret is beyond reach, the other is to predict in advance, for a purposeful deviation test to correct in time. The latter is lucky, if you are not highly conscious yourself, or if someone around you reminds you to help you survive.
In short, at the moment of self-awakening, people will be full of longing for what they see, full of fantasies about the other side of the mountain and the sea, and go through the process of "foolishness", "paying the price", "finding themselves", as this story says, "I have a strange restlessness in my heart."
Hesse once said that God awakens people in various ways so that we can move toward ourselves.
Perhaps, from inner turmoil to stability and abundance, through the barren loneliness, is the price to pay, this may be fate, crossing the robbery may be a necessary road, buried in your heart hidden desire. Today I want to talk about a story of crossing, the limit of the drifter, called "Robinson Crusoe".
"I landed here on September 30, 1659"
Born into a decent middle-class family, Robinson, the youngest son in the family, was full of adventure and eager to explore, ignoring his father's "middle way of life."
In the eyes of his father, the path chosen by this unworldly young man was completely self-inflicted, and the elderly father tearfully prevented his child from going to sea, and at first he decided to stay at home honestly. But after the age of 18, the "strange restlessness" in his heart still made him leave without quitting and hiding from his family.
Of course, the sea has its own personality, he has encountered shipwrecks, but also earned a lot of money, he was captured by pirates as a slave, desperately plotting to escape, fighting with wild beasts, desperate to die. Whenever disaster came, he would reflect on his disobedience to his father's commandments in the shadow of fear. However, once the crisis is lifted, the scars are healed and the pain is forgotten, and risks are as addictive as cheating.
After more than four years of becoming a Brazilian planter, restlessness became restless again, but what he did not expect was that this time it was different, and finally paid a huge price, that is, when the storm hit the reef, all his companions were killed, and he drifted alone to a deserted island and lived a lonely life for more than 27 years.
Of course, the story ends with Hi Pinn, who saved a slave and wrestled with cannibals, and finally returned to the civilized world decades later.
Aftermath
The novel was written by the author Defoe inspired by a true story of the time. For the average reader, in addition to the fascinating plot of robinson Crusoe in the adventure story, the most important thing is that it touches on the universal situation facing human beings, that is, what is the survival of each individual in the most authentic and personal sense. It is a hidden sense of wandering and the desire for freedom that everyone has in their hearts. Our life is essentially in the tension between freedom and being trapped, how do you seek survival while seeking self, if you see this layer, it is not enough, you can dig down, that is, if trial and error is an inevitable process, then how not to be drowned by the cost of trial and error?
If you are banished to a desert island, how do you save yourself? Now people can't stand going to a place without a mobile phone signal, let alone going to a desert island, living for decades, how did Robinson face adversity and survive from the pit?
"Pray to me on the day of affliction, and I will deliver you, and you will glorify me." (Psalm 50:15)
In the group that day, we discussed a problem, that is, if it is post-installed, you will feel that everything is predestined, including your struggle.
If it is front-loading, you will start to try to change, so after Robinson hit the rock and sank the ship, he was washed to a desert island, and the first thing he had to face when he woke up was actually a mentality, and it was also the most important key for us to face adversity, that is, what do you think? That is: do you feel that you are the saddest person, or should you be glad that everyone is dead and you survive? It determines whether you should complain or be grateful, admit it or start fighting back?
After experiencing a deadly high fever, he found a chest with tobacco leaves and a Bible, one to save the body and one to save the soul. It reads, "Pray to me on the day of affliction, and I will deliver you, and you will glorify me." So in Robinson's mind, it became rescued, which made the survivors of a desert island who could starve or die of illness at any time hold out for decades, relying on their own hands, to build two "houses", build two boats, keep goats in captivity, grow corn, and own their own vineyards.
If at the beginning is sympathy for Robinson's doom, in the back, this sympathy will become respect, adversity really can not kill an anti-fragile personality, so if you are in adversity, first adjust the mentality, do not amplify the panic of loss, and then start practicing, just like Robinson, turn the encounter into a summons, turn the challenge into a tempering, and the reverse is the same, if you snubbed a strong person, banished him to the wilderness of your heart, don't forget, if he is a pioneer, it is likely to be a period of time, The people have established their own kingdoms.
It's like the words Robinson said at the beginning, I woke up, everything was lost, everyone was dead, and there was a string of footprints on this desert island with nothing, and that was me. yes
In those reefs and disasters that are destined to be "lost", who is not the rest of their lives.
