Pessimism, attachment, detachment

I believe that every normal person has a little pessimism in their hearts, and there are times in their lives that they will inevitably be invaded by the ethereal sense of nothingness in life. The difference is that some people are shrouded in the shadow of pessimism and lose the power of action, while others use action to resist pessimism and win more or less territory for life. Pessimism is theoretically irrefutable, but the practice of life can remove its poison. The most bleak thing is not the lament of the loser, but the lament of the successful. In the minds of the losers, there is something worth pursuing: success. But the man who is still pessimistic about success, all his illusions are shattered, he has nothing to pursue. The loser merely laments his own life; if the successful lament, he laments the whole of life.

I believe that all deep souls contain pessimism. Of course, the truly profound soul never indulges in pessimism. Pessimism originally stems from love, and for love and try to fight against pessimism, but there is a creation beyond ordinary people. However, the profoundness is that no matter how much success is achieved, it cannot eliminate the pessimism hidden in the heart, so that it can finally be viewed with a detached eye. If a pessimism can be easily dispelled by external successes, I can be sure that it is not pessimism, but only superficial annoyance.

Attachment is confusion, pessimism is not confusion? Because of the despair, world-weariness and even light life because of seeing through the red dust, the bones are still too persistent, cannot see through, and regard the red dust too seriously. It's like a lover rushing to run away from his sweetheart who doesn't love him. The truly enlightened person can gain a vision and wisdom from seeing through the red dust, so that he is not confused by the red dust in the red dust, and he still maintains a detached state of mind when he enters the world. Assuming that he is the lover, then now he has been freed from the hot love, and he is neither bitterly entangled nor far away from the sweetheart who does not love him, but can meet her calmly.

Throughout the ages, although the sadness of life's nothingness is endless, the teachings that exhort people to cherish time in life are even more earnest. Comparing the two, attachment is of course much wiser than pessimism. Pessimism is a dead end, meditating on the nothingness of life, thinking about the same thing for a lifetime, there will never be a day when the willow is dark and bright, but it suffocates the joy of life. It is better to put this nothingness in parentheses and concentrate on doing a good job of positive articles in life.

Detachment is the result of a fierce conflict between pessimism and attachment, and a reconciliation of the two. I have pessimism and attachment in my heart. The more I cling, the more pessimistic I am, the more pessimistic I am, the more I cannot cling to it, and I fall into the reversal of the two laws.

Since there is only one life, the decadent sees it as zero and falls into the abyss of pessimism. The obsessive thus regards it as complete, arousing the desire for possession. Neither has acquired the essence of wisdom. Wisdom is somewhere in between, to be precise, encompassing both and transcending both. Life is both zero and whole, the unity of zero and totality. With totality negating zero, against nothingness, and using zero to deny omniscience, in order to restrain greed, wisdom imitates this spiral path.

A person who loves life cannot but be persistent, and he who understands the truth of life cannot but be pessimistic, and the result of the fierce conflict between the two and reconciliation is detachment. So, detachment is essentially a kind of attachment with pessimistic constraints, pessimism with attachment constraints.
