Would you be happy to live a life as plain as water?
When I was young, I always wanted to go to the outside world to break through, the sky of dreams was exceptionally blue, the whole person was restless, wanted to toss, run, and look forward to that vigorous and free life.
But when you grow up, you find that most people's lives are very similar, nothing more than going to school, studying, graduating, going to work, working overtime, getting married, having children, no matter how you toss it, it is difficult to jump out of this big framework.
Many people around me have complained and complained to me, feeling that life is lackluster, the days are monotonous and boring, and the year is a simple repetition cycle of three hundred and sixty-five.
"Life is so boring, in the adult world, it's hard to be happy."
A friend once expressed such an emotion, the original she was full of ambition, trying to chase her dreams, with a wave of blood and innocence, but under the grinding of reality, her edges and corners were gradually smoothed out, and the hopes she once held gradually became disappointment.
Her dreams are out of reach, under the blows of life again and again, she learned to be strong after falling, learned to endure in the struggle, and gradually became very lost, feeling that life was just like this, boring and boring, not at all as beautiful as she had imagined.
What would you do if the world wasn't what you imagined it to be?
Will you fight, or will you bow your head and compromise, or will you try to change your surroundings and change the world you live in?
What my friend and I complained about the most was that she felt that most people lived a very ordinary life, and they could see their heads at a glance, which was not interesting at all, but despite this, she couldn't think of any way to change her status quo, so she could only complain and live at the same time.
Is there really no happiness in ordinary life?
Recently, I read a book called "Every Day is a Good Day", written by the Japanese writer Akio Ashibe, which records the small things he and his wife live together, simple, small, but full of warmth.
Ashio Abe used very simple language to describe the story of his and his wife from encounter, acquaintance, acquaintance to love and spend the rest of their lives together, the book uses a lot of ink to write about the food his wife cooks, are some very life-like details, but it makes people feel warm to read.
Wild vegetables in spring, plum wine in summer, salt grilled saury bar that is indispensable in autumn, meal juice that will be drunk in winter, the days are in one meal and one meal, gradually gone, how beautiful.
Akio Abe says in the book that "the time spent doing something" is the most important thing in my opinion. I feel that "feeling" is a more advanced concept and closer to one's own life than "doing".
Thinking of it this way, the joy that flows in the mind and in the heart is the most important thing in life.
In his opinion, "what I want to cherish most is the time when I have the most delicious breakfast with my favorite family, forget about work and social affairs, and put myself in a happy mood that naturally emerges from the bottom of my heart." ”
He took many photos of his wife cooking and doing housework, and recorded the small things that his family lived with, in order to commemorate those ordinary and beautiful, and he felt that living in the moment was the most important.
"She was standing in the kitchen, cutting vegetables, cooking, and the heat coming out of the pot made me think that this is the original meaning of life, in some subtle places, shining."
"Although it is easy to forget unconsciously in daily life, I want to remember this preciousness and live in the present."
Plain and indifferent is the truth, ordinary life is not bad, a house of two people three meals four seasons, chai rice oil salt sauce vinegar tea, seemingly boring, but in fact full of warmth and romance.
Who's to say that such a plain and simple life is not good?
There is more than one way of life, when you learn to find small luck from the plain water life, grasp today, live in the moment, then every day is a good day, you will find that everything is the best arrangement.
