Chapter 303: It's Time to Die (11)

Therefore, friendship, love, and family affection in the general sense are just using each other to relieve their inner loneliness, and these emotions are often integrated with interests. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn fact, only when life reaches a certain state and a certain height,

Only human emotions can overcome the "self-interest" of this nature and reach the realm of "self-sacrifice". However, the most difficult thing for people to overcome is the weakness of their own nature, so it is determined that most people must not be able to have that transcendent emotional happiness experience.

For most people, the love of life is just a luxury, something that they cannot afford in life. Because I can't afford it, I can only retreat to seek companionship and courtship, so as not to make myself too sad and lonely! However, another weakness of human beings, insatiable greed, cannot make people stay at this level alone, and they lack the ability to overcome the former weakness enough, so that loneliness is expelled in the pursuit of more loneliness, so they can only chase more. Life declines in this cycle until it dies, and in the end it is empty. The fact that this world is made up of such a majority of people is doomed to the hollowness and paleness of the content of life. Finding no opponent is the sorrow of a great man. And most of the opponents are just playing a game of loneliness, they need each other, but they are wary of each other and suspicious of each other, and they are unwilling and dare not devote and pay completely, even if they are the right ones, they are also wearing protective clothing.

Everyone doesn't trust others, and they are not believed by others, but they need each other. This is the sorrow of humanity.

It is not easy for everyone to be truly happy in such a sad world, as they are trapped in their own weaknesses and unable to extricate themselves from the weaknesses of others.

We cannot dominate others and allow others to overcome their own weaknesses to bring us happiness. But we can take control of ourselves, slowly cultivate ourselves, gradually overcome our weaknesses, achieve personal perfection, and develop a contemplative mentality, which is a good attitude towards life. When a person gradually perfects himself and has a good attitude towards life, happiness will also come. Because he can not only make himself happy, but also bring happiness to others.

For example, love. In fact, a day without love can also live another peaceful and happy meaning, as long as your heart desires less. If you want a lot and never get satisfied, you are doomed to never be happy, and even if you have true love, you will still feel unsatisfied. Sometimes, lower your desires and requirements for life, and happiness will come to your door.

Happiness can be related to love or not; It can be related to wealth or it may not be related to wealth. Especially when you are old, especially when you are lonely and lonely. Just like in the eyes of a man walking in the desert, happiness is just a drop of water; In the eyes of the hungry, happiness is just a piece of bread.

It's a pity that people often have to look forward to Shu, once the original things are satisfied, they look forward to higher and more things. So there aren't many people in this world who are truly happy. Many people say that one day when something is available, then you will live a happy life, but in fact, this is often not the case. The German philosopher Schopenhauer said that human life is human will, and that will, at all levels of its existence, manifests itself as a struggle, a struggle to realize one's desires. Our destiny is the manifestation of our will, and all our activities are aimed at satisfying the desires of the will. And this struggle determines that the essence of human beings is suffering. First, our desires can never be fully satisfied, and as soon as one is satisfied, another will immediately arise. Second, at any time in our lives, if either this desire occupies the current position, another desire occupies it, which means that either this pain occupies or another pain occupies it. We are constantly struggling to pursue one happiness and one pain after another, but another pain is already waiting outside the door, because our desires will never be satisfied. Therefore, Schopenhauer believed that since human suffering comes from desires, only by limiting one's various desires, or even giving up desires, can one be truly happy. However, limiting one's desires and making them less is easier said than done. So why is it that the teachings of every religion whose purpose is to liberate sentient beings from the sea of suffering are inseparable from the point of self-cultivation? Here's the truth, they tell people that only by constantly cultivating one's self-cultivation can one restrain one's desires, overcome one's weaknesses, and make one's soul full and peaceful, so that one can naturally achieve contentment and self-sufficiency.

There is a story in the West: one day, on the beach, the Monopoly saw the fisherman lying in the sun, so he rebuked him and said, "Why don't you catch more fish in good time?" The fisherman asked, "Why do you catch so many fish?" The rich man said, "Sell it for money!" The fisherman then asked, "Why do you sell it for so much money?" The rich man said: "With money, you can be like me, free and happy, and take a leisurely walk on this beautiful beach." The fisherman said, "Am I not lying happily on the beach?" ”

Happiness does not depend on the amount of external things, but on a person's attitude towards life. Life attitude is the best embodiment of a person's life cultivation.

Thus, Aristotle said, "Happiness is self-sufficiency, and the self-sufficiency of happiness is self-sufficiency without seeking anything external." ”

On the long road of life, there are always a series of negative emotions such as loneliness, loneliness, failure, frustration, etc., at these times, should we give ourselves a little applause?

Give yourself a little applause, let me overcome the cowardice in my heart;

Give yourself a little applause, and your fearless heart will be more firm;

Give yourself a little applause and warm my way alone.

When no one is around, I always like to ask myself: Who is the long-term audience in your life? Friends, loved ones, or anyone else you know or don't know yet?

And I often seem to hear such a voice in my heart: only you are the audience in your life drama, only you can accompany you from the opening to the closing, in this life, how can you be without the company of applause. Years are fleeting, life is short, hurry for decades, why let yourself be too lonely, give yourself a little applause at the right time, even if sometimes others don't understand, I fly to the world.

Give yourself a little applause, not only a filling of the empty soul, but also a kind of calmness for life after experiencing more ups and downs on the road of life, two points of self-confidence, three points of appreciation and four points of responsibility.
