Joy and Sorrow is Life (Page 1/1)

Joy and sorrow are life Zhang Baotong 2019.2.26

Some people say that life is a journey, and you don't have to care about the destination, but the scenery along the way and the mood of the trip. No one cares about the destination of life, because it is just a lonely tomb. Nothing can change this ending. Therefore, people can only watch the scenery attentively during the journey.

However, every human being has to go through a lot of ditches, bumps, rain, snow, wind and frost. It will definitely affect our mood when looking at the scenery. Therefore, our mood will be good and bad, cloudy and sunny. We always come to this world crying and shouting, and then we are crying and shouting goodbye to this world. In this sense, our lives are not destined to be peaceful and peaceful.

People are born to be milked. It's fine if my mother was born in a rich family, but if my mother is very poor and can't eat enough for herself, I'm afraid she won't have much milk to feed us. Until we grow up to the age of three or four, this period can be described as a dangerous period of life, if it is a minor illness and a small disaster, this is inevitable for everyone. If we are seriously ill or in a major disaster, it will have to test our ability to live and our luck. When my sister was one year old, my mother was on her way to my father's funeral with my sister and me, when she was blocked by the flood of the Wei River and died of high fever by the river. When I was three years old, I fell into the Luo River in Pucheng, Shaanxi Province because I was playing by the river, but fortunately there were bridge piers blocking it and it was not washed away by the flood, and I was later rescued by my sister from the river. When he was four years old, he got stuck in the machine and almost broke his handle. When he was ten years old, he played with a grenade and almost caused an explosion. Thirteen and fourteen-year-olds were twice drowned while swimming, both rescued by classmates.

We often see or hear about a baby dying at birth, a two-year-old child suffocated by a soybean stuck in his throat, a three-year-old child sucking a whistle in his throat, a thirteen-year-old child riding a bicycle and drowning, a seventeen-year-old child swimming in a pond and drowning. If you think about the dangers you have encountered in your life and sort them out, you will find out how many times you have experienced great disasters and never died. And this experience will make us cherish and love life even more.

Life and death are thrilling events in life, and other things are just small things compared to this. However, it also has a profound effect on our mood. If I think back to the scenery along the way, I can also find many frustrating and discouraged things. When you think about the setbacks and hardships you have encountered at every stage of your life, you will probably sigh and sigh.

Since childhood, we will have all kinds of wishes, such as eating a piece of candy, a toy or a book, but our family is very poor, such a simple wish cannot be satisfied, and we are often reprimanded and scolded by our parents because of a trivial matter, and we feel that we do not have any freedom. When it came time to go to school, we were confined to the classroom, forced to learn things we didn't like, and often criticized and annoyed by our teachers. We must work cautiously and carefully, no matter how unsatisfactory the work is, no matter how undesirable the work is, we must do our best to do it well, and we must be trained by the boss or the leader at every turn, and if we don't do it, we will be deducted money, transferred or lose our jobs. It's as if we're a puppet without dignity. There are also falling in love and getting married, having children, buying a house and a car, and saving money for retirement. The children were finally raised, and the parents were old or gone. All this, life's troubles and worries almost never stop.

But why do we feel at peace and happiness while we have gone through so much suffering, hardship, sorrow and sorrow? In fact, compared to the suffering and sorrow we have experienced, peace and happiness are still the norm. Because we ourselves live on a trajectory of tranquility and happiness. Our behaviors, goals, ideals and pursuits are all moving forward along this trajectory, and even the process of pursuing and achieving goals is a kind of endeavor and harvest. In this process of forging ahead and harvesting, there will be some troubles and difficulties, but these troubles and difficulties are temporary and can be overcome. As long as our gains and gains do not pose difficulties and crises to our lives, our mood will not be too turbulent. Nowadays, our living conditions have almost reached the level of moderate prosperity, and we have no worries about food and clothing, so the probability of encountering a catastrophe is still very low. This is the basic guarantee that we can be at peace and happiness.

We have all experienced many hardships and hardships, rain, snow, wind and frost, and lived a well-off life without worrying about food and clothing, peace and happiness. The scenery of life's journey can be described as thrilling and dangerous, joyful and worried. However, life must have joys and sorrows, and life must have bitterness and sweetness. Only after experiencing the vicissitudes of life can you feel the prosperity of the world, and only when you encounter danger will you feel the peace of reality. Spring blossoms and autumn fruits, summer is warm and winter is cold, the seasons are reincarnated, and heaven and earth change. Although birth, old age, sickness and death are helpless in the world, peace and tranquility are precious.

Life's hardships and hardships are not optional. Mencius said, "Therefore, the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they will be tempted to endure and gain what they cannot." This means that Heaven is about to lay down a great responsibility on such a man, and it must first make his heart painful, his bones and muscles tired, his hunger so that his skin is emaciated, he is afflicted with poverty, and he is perverted and unsatisfactory in what he does, so as to awaken his heart, to harden his character, and to increase his talents, which he does not possess. This embodies the generation of a spirit of self-improvement.

On the contrary, we often see those who have been pampered and raised in a privileged living environment, except for eating, drinking, having fun and spending money, they do not understand the true purpose of life, so they must go through a ruined family situation and the decline of life in order to see the meaning of life. The road of life depends on oneself, and the giving of your parents can only make you feel the sweetness and tastelessness of life, feel that the food grows from the ground, and the money is blown by the wind. Only by experiencing ruin and decline will he feel the hardships and difficulties of life, and will he regain his vitality and exertion.

Therefore, we do not have to envy what others have, and we are full of joy in our life journey. If you don't experience wind and rain, you can't see a rainbow. Whether it is the wind and snow, or the swamp and mud, it is the beauty of our life's journey.
