Chapter 372: The True Colors of Life
The true color of life Zhang Baotong 2017.2.2
Sima Qian has long discussed the meaning of life, "People are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "But for ordinary people, life does not seem to have much to do with Mount Tai and Hongmao. Because in our daily life, few people can have earth-shattering achievements, and it is difficult to have disrepute. The meaning and value of life are closer to ordinary people, and more to our own life itself.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, early in the morning, I heard the sound of mourning echoing over the family area. This is a classmate's mother-in-law who died last night. The mournful cries from there were heart-rending, and people couldn't help but feel sad. The old man is over 80 years old, and he was still playing mahjong in the mahjong parlor two days ago, but yesterday afternoon he suddenly couldn't do it. In the week since I returned to my hometown in Miluo from Xi'an, two elderly people have died in the family area. In the family compound of the Railway Engineering Agency, which was converted from volunteer soldiers, a number of people leave almost every year. I heard my mother say that three elderly people died in one day last year. Therefore, people in the family area often have an inexplicable and helpless feeling of life.
Life is tenacious and fragile. When he is tenacious, he encounters nine deaths and dies in great difficulty, and when he is fragile, he is like a residual lamp and does not blow and extinguish. There are spring, summer, autumn and winter, and people are born, old, sick and die. Not to mention that things are not human, even the sun and the moon, and even the earth will die on this day. The spring breeze and spring will not stop because of nostalgia, and the winter will not stop because of joy, sorrow and sorrow. Life is precious because it is short, but it is not unfortunate that life has reached the end.
Life is the process by which a person survives in the world. He lives not only for himself, but also for others. Otherwise, people are always reluctant to die, he is unwilling to die, in fact, he does not want to leave his relatives and lovers. And the death of one person can also make many people sad and sad. Because there is a kinship in his life that is closely related and intimately connected to our lives. This kind of family affection has been and will be like a compass guiding the direction of our lives.
Yes, why do we live, why do we want to live a wonderful life, and we want to live a productive life? In addition to wanting to reflect the value of our own lives, we also want to win glory for our families and clans. Let our family members and relatives praise and be proud of us.
There are two kinds of brilliance in life, one is the brilliance of youth and the other is the brilliance of life. The brilliance of youth is the beautiful spring color of life, the fresh red cheeks, the fresh breath, the soft figure, the vigorous steps and the healthy body. It can be said that the youth is all red, thousands of charming flowers are pretty, and they shine with a fresh and beautiful aura wherever they go.
We are attached to and yearn for a beautiful youth, but when we are young and in the prime of life, we often do not realize the fleeting and precious nature of youth. We will hesitate in the wind and rain of youth, and we will be in a daze in the loneliness of youth. We may spend more time playing on our phones and playing games than we do with our knowledge and strength.
The spring of life is very short, ten years of cold window, one day of learning, plus October pregnancy, once you give birth, you will be horrified to find that youth is suddenly gone. Even if you use skin cream or wrinkle cream to whitewash, you can't hide the years of greenery. Youth is precious, but the more precious the time, the shorter. Once lost, there is nowhere to be found. Whether you are a high-ranking official or a rich man, or a great star, whether you have a wealth of money or great ability, you can only sigh at the loss of youth, and there is no way to return to heaven.
If you are rich, wealthy, and powerful, you may be able to marry a beautiful concubine or change your wife. But it can't change your own growth rings, and a beautiful wife and concubine may make you feel young, but it can't change your aging body and wrinkles on your face. Possession of youth and possession of youth are two completely different concepts and two feelings. And the possessor can only possess other people's bodies at best, but not other people's hearts. And a little bit of the possessed will only be felt by the young. Just like the folk songs of northern Shaanxi that have been sung for thousands of years: young people only love young people. If a young man or woman is in love with an older person, it must be in love with the other person's money.
For many people, the loss of youth is the lifelessness of the whole life. There is no vitality, no heroic spirit, no motivation to move forward, and no goal to strive for. can only eat the old book, mix the days, wait for retirement, survive, and wait for a lifetime. Some people even make smoking, drinking, eating, drinking, and having fun their goals in life. I think that eating and drinking spicy food, playing cards and smoking is to enjoy happiness and pleasure, and I am not to treat myself badly. Completely disregarding the true desires and needs of life. If a person really regards the desire and need of life as a matter of eating and drinking well, enjoying happiness and pleasure, then he really despises life too much, underestimates himself too much, and treats himself as a poor little pet.
Life requires eating, drinking, and pleasure, but eating and drinking are never the purpose of survival, and pleasure is not to satisfy selfish desires. Engage in a noble cause, innovate a scientific research technology, climb a difficult peak, or even do a charitable work. That pleasure is the feeling that life rejoices in and cheers for.
Talking about eating and drinking, greedy for pleasure, can only make life decadent and degenerate for it, and thus lose the spirituality and beauty of life. Without spirituality and beauty, what positive meaning is there in life?
Life is hard to come by for us, life is only once for us. Life is not only youthful and beautiful, but also the four seasons of change. Therefore, we should live to make life as splendid as summer, quiet as autumn, vivid as spring, and beautiful as winter. The spring of life is not only about beauty and physical fitness, but also about working hard and going out, striving for progress and solid work. Water the flowers of life with the sweat of hard work. Create a better future with solid labor.
Life is full of tremendous and infinite energy, rich in whimsical ideas, and can create unparalleled miracles on earth. There is a magnificent and legendary that makes us moved, shed tears, fight for it and dedicate ourselves to it. Therefore, we should not let life be wasted in mediocrity, and we should not let life linger like a walking corpse in a limited time. The birth of life is not easy, and it is not to be so humiliated and pitiful, let alone regretful and sad because of it.
If we love life and cherish it, we must not be dominated by bad habits and habits. Smoking and drinking, playing cards and buying codes (Mark Six), eating and drinking, idleness, how many people have been sick for a long time and died young; how many people have gone bankrupt, their wives have been separated, and how many people have been mixed up with wontons and settled for a lifetime. Due to the low self-discipline and self-control, many good lives have been defeated one by one at the hands of vice, and have fallen under the door of vice. When life is threatened by death, it may be too late to repent.
The flower of life should bloom as early as possible, and if you miss the season, don't miss the years again. Some people quit smoking at the age of 70, start painting at the age of 80, start exercising at the age of 90, and some are still writing at the age of 100. The pursuit of life embodies the cherishing of life. Love life, life will inevitably give back, give you a sense of beauty, and give you happiness and well-being.
Youth is fleeting, but life is long. The brilliance of life requires youth to lay the foundation and pay for it. The process of life is like the four seasons of the year, which will be enriched by the cultivation of spring and the harvest of autumn.
