A moment out of time

It's now 10:15 p.m., and because of physical reasons, it is necessary to develop good living habits, so I tentatively go to bed at 10:30 every day, and there is still a quarter of an hour left before 10:30.

I suddenly wanted to write a paragraph, as follows.

We are often in a daze, sometimes thinking about something, sometimes because of boredom, our heads are empty, but most of the time we have a period of time for me to think for myself.

In this small space and time, we will have countless thoughts, some of which are even fleeting without a trace, and today we want to talk about one word: enlightenment.

Enlightenment is probably the thought of Buddhism, the first thing that comes to mind is the "epiphany" of Buddhism, then the concept of "Zen", and then the mythical story "Journey to the West", Wukong, Wuneng, and Wujing.

The word "enlightenment" fully explains why you can't listen to other people's opinions, why you always like to refute others, like to quarrel, because many things need to be done by yourself, you are born as a human being, you should think for yourself, so you can't hear what others say, or you don't want to listen to what others say, it's just that you haven't learned to "understand".

The "enlightenment" mentioned here may not be quite the same as the "enlightenment" of Buddhism or the "enlightenment" of Zen Buddhism. Of course, self-thinking has no terminal, and the terminal here is only a certain paragraph, the terminal under a certain node, for example, quiet tonight, thinking, and then sleepy and sleepy, it is a terminal.

The terminal of "enlightenment" must be "action", action is action, manifested in daily life, because there is understanding, so there is action, every word and deed is generated from enlightenment, understanding more and less, it doesn't matter, the important thing is to have the ability to understand, to be able to enter a state, to be able to understand the truth that you can't usually figure out, instead of thinking wildly, after all, the brain is confused, nothing is gained for a while, and nothing is gained in a lifetime.

Learn to think for yourself, guide your thoughts in an orderly manner, but don't be too constrained, just like the water in the ditch on the side of the road, we let it be limited to the ditch, but give the ditch a certain width range, within the relative range, let it "crash on the shore", after all, the water has the obligation to the field, the water in the ditch can irrigate the farmland, our thoughts are the same, under reasonable constraints, we will naturally want to understand many things, so as to be of great help to our words and deeds.

"Enlightenment" and "action", this is what I want to say at this moment, the contest between self and self, and finally win to be able to live in the world.
