Chapter 586 is helpless, and the flowers fall
Helplessly, the flowers fell Zhang Baotong 2017.4.9
Everyone longs to be young, young is a good time in life, with a delicate face and a vigorous physique, with clear thinking, a bright breath and vigorous vitality, with a fiery passion and dream-like ideals, even the feeling of self is so fresh and beautiful. The young life is full of the fragrance of spring flowers, and the young heart shines with pure light. However, the time of youth is very short, and when the youth gradually fades away, we have to start to face aging.
Aging can make everything feel helpless. Whether you are a pauper or a king, whether you are an athlete or a scientist, or even a society or dynasty, as long as you enter the period of aging, you are doomed to decline. The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and always replace the new peach with the old charm, which is the law of life and the inevitable law of historical development.
There is a saying today that "women are afraid of aging, and men are afraid of running out of money." "Young is a woman's capital, young women are always delicate and beautiful, like pear blossoms with rain, like spring roses, delicate, pure and charming. And the young beauty is even more remarkable! Either she looks like a shock, or she is captivating the country and the city. In Chinese history, Xi Shi, Mink Chan, Wang Zhaojun and Yang Yuhuan are known as the sinking fish and the wild goose and the shy flower of the closed moon. For the sake of young women's beauty, men can rush to the crown in anger, they can spend a lot of money, they can fight to the death, and they can lose face. For the sake of the beautiful Helen, the Greek army fought with the Trojans for ten years, killing and wounding hundreds of thousands. For the sake of Chen Yuanyuan, Wu Sangui became angry and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, thus changing the history of China.
Even in today's society, the first factor for a man to choose a woman is still to be young and beautiful. Both 18-year-old men and 80-year-old men like 18-year-old women. Men not only choose a mate to talk about being young and beautiful, that is, to choose confidants, work partners and company employees, but also to choose young and beautiful women. Because they are full of the warmth and time of love, they make men feel friendly and feel good. Therefore, for women, being young and beautiful is a business card, a pass and a VIP card.
Young and beautiful women are not only liked by men, but also by women. Because whether it is a man or a woman, the examination and preference for beauty are roughly the same. Women are well aware of the influence and penetration of beauty, and they like to consume together in groups for the same aesthetic.
People compare young and beautiful women to bright and dripping, fragrant and attractive roses, to pear blossoms with spring rain, saying that they are delicate flowers shining on the water, weak willows supporting the wind, bright as spring flowers, bright as the autumn moon. It's because they're the highlight of the world and the focus of people's attention. Whether it is marketing advertisements or film and television, their pictures always occupy an important picture.
The man said, "Death to a man who is a confidant." The woman said, "The woman is pleasing to the one." "The value of a man is reflected in wisdom, loyalty and bravery. The value of women is more reflected in their youth and beauty. In the face of men's diligent pursuit of women's youth and beauty, women are also trying their best to take care of their appearance and youth.
However, the spring flowers are flowing and the autumn moon is merciless. Precious and beautiful things are always very delicate, and a woman's youthful beauty will be like a pear blossom in spring rain, which is easily blown away by the rain and wind. Aging is the most helpless thing in the world, there is no panacea, there is no magic trick. You can apply grease and powder, paint your eyebrows and eyes, and even have cosmetic surgery, but you can't stop the pace of aging.
The twilight of the hero and the aging of the red face are particularly regrettable. You may have been a red apricot that can't be closed in the spring of the garden, but in the end, it is not still a spring that is red and old, and the flowers fall and people do not know what to do. The world is like this, so that you have a time of spring, but also let you have a twilight and sad autumn day. Women are afraid of getting old, because once people are old and young, it seems that the value and meaning of your existence will be gone. Therefore, women are most afraid of getting old.
It's not just women who are afraid of getting old, but men are also afraid of getting old. The older men get, the more they like young and beautiful women, which in itself is a sign of fear of old age. There are also some old husbands who marry young and beautiful young women, just to restore the second spring of their lives. It's just that men treat aging very differently than women. In the face of aging, women will not hesitate to buy clothes, cosmetics, or cosmetic surgery. And men often show helplessness in the face of aging.
Men's aging is more profound and tragic than women's, but they don't like to express it, but hide it deep inside. Men are not good at socializing by nature, and they are full of competitiveness and aggressiveness in their bones. So, they like to play chess, play ball, gamble, and boxing and other entertainment. They often enhance their presence and sense of glory by outpowering or overwhelming their opponents. Aging will only make them physically and mentally exhausted, and they will feel inferior or inadequate. But men will not give in lightly, although the years have passed, their gray hair has increased, and their faces are full of wrinkles, but their hearts still yearn for young and beautiful women, and their mentality is still full of belligerence and competitiveness. It is only when they really face the young and beautiful women and the battlefield that they fought for back then, that they will silently feel sad in their hearts.
Aging is a physiological manifestation of the integration of our life genes and lifestyle. Aging is sometimes slow, for example, today we have a problem with our teeth, or we feel soreness in our lower back and shoulders, tomorrow our eyes are a little flowery, or we feel a little wheezing when we go upstairs, and after two days, we find that there are wrinkles on our forehead and even gray hairs on our heads. But sometimes aging is accelerating, for example, I just found a gray hair on my head last year, but this year, I saw that the gray hair has grown a patch. I only felt a little sour in my stomach last month, but this month, I feel that my stomach acid has worsened a little.
Just like a fruit, once ripe, it will quickly fall off the tree and quickly fall to the ground and rot. It is said that by the age of 25, the maturity of life has reached its peak, and then it slowly enters the plateau, and once the age of 35 is passed, the aging process begins to be obvious. During this period, there will be some diseases in our body because our immune system is no longer as good as it used to be. After the age of 50, the aging process begins to accelerate, and all kinds of signs of aging are already clearly revealed. By the age of 60, we have become an old man's wife, and by the time we are 70, there are probably many people who are going to die.
When people are young, they are glamorous and beautiful, but when they are old, they will have a lot of helplessness. Not to mention that when people are old, they will have white hair, wrinkles on their faces, flowery eyes, back ears, old age, and ugly. It's just that what you eat is not fragrant, often you can't eat this, you can't taste it, no matter what high-end clothes you wear, it won't look good, not to mention traveling, even if you go upstairs, you have to catch half the weather. If it's not good, even if you give him a beautiful woman, he won't be able to enjoy it.
But aging is unavoidable, and all we can do is slow down the process. Although a woman is no longer young and beautiful, she can be optimistic, sincere and beautiful, and she no longer needs to draw her eyebrows and eyes all day long, apply grease and powder, but she can dress more solemnly, dress lightly, face the sky, and be full of energy. Women can also read more books, cultivate some hobbies such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing, dancing and music, so that their mood and literacy have some artistic nutrients and aromas. If you can't do that, then you have to have a kind and kind smile. For example, in front of the doorway downstairs, there is an old couple from the countryside sitting all day long, and I don't know whose old man it is. The old man was a little demented, and his wife sat beside him and watched over him. We didn't know her, but whenever we passed by the door, the wife greeted us with a smile and said something about whether we had eaten or what the weather was. Over time, we all felt that this wife was very kind and friendly, and felt like an old man in our own house, so every time we saw her, we took the initiative to talk to her and say hello. If a few people see you one day and greet you with a smile on their faces, you're going to feel good.
The greatest sorrow of aging is illness. After the age of 50, some diseases will appear, and some people will get very serious diseases at the age of 20 or 30. Getting sick is a manifestation of human aging, which at least accelerates the aging of the human body. People who are sick not only cannot work and live normally, but also cause problems for others. Therefore, a very important measure to delay aging is to exercise well and try not to get seriously ill and seriously ill. With good exercise and good maintenance, we will appear younger than our actual age, healthy and energetic, free from the pain and trouble caused by those diseases. For the elderly, being healthy and free of illness is the best state to spend their old age in peace.
However, for many people, they may feel that they are still young and very far from aging, so they do not pay attention to physical exercise, and some people even retire and do not know how to strengthen exercise. This is very sad. Delaying aging is not something to do when you are old, but to start from a young age or even a child, such as developing good living habits and paying attention to physical exercise, which should be done from a very young age. If you don't know how to focus on prevention, and you have to wait until you have a disease to be treated, then your disease will basically leave its roots, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will recur, and it will be more difficult to treat every time.
Everyone is afraid of aging and longs for longevity, but life is impermanent, and aging is inevitable. We can't choose the genes of life, but the way of life is in our grasp. If Qin Shi Huang hadn't spent his time looking for Ganoderma lucidum longevity medicine, and if Emperor Jiajing hadn't been obsessed with taking the elixir of immortality, but had done physical exercise in a down-to-earth and effective manner, they would definitely not have died so early.
Helplessly, the flowers fell, and the familiar swallow returned. Although aging will make us sad and troubled, as long as we understand the law and meaning of life, there is no need to be sad and troubled. Because our lives are like flowers, when they bloom, they will fall. As long as we cherish life, live happily, enjoy the splendor and brilliance of flowers, and are willing to be calm and sudden in the blooming and falling of flowers, just like plum blossoms, scattered into mud and dust, only fragrant as before. In this way, we will have a new understanding and feeling about life: as long as our state of mind is not old, we will feel young forever.
