Section 3 Angry stabbing oneself with a knife
Kicking a stone in a fit of rage will only hurt your toes. Being angry hurts you the most.
In the forest, the tiger prides itself on being strong, and one day when it was foraging, a flying gadfly always haunted it, and the tiger shouted angrily: "Don't disturb me under my nose, or I will tear you apart!" ”
"Hee-hee, come and eat me as long as you can reach me." The gadfly laughs at the tiger while flying to the tiger's nose to suck blood. The tiger was furious and grabbed with its claws, and the gadfly flew on the tiger's back to suck the blood. The tiger angrily chased away the gadfly with its whip-like tail, but the gadfly kept shifting its position and kept biting fiercely. The tiger had lost its rationality and roared angrily, but the gadfly remained the same, biting east and west on the tiger. The tiger was so angry that it lay on the ground and rolled in a vain attempt to crush the gadfly, but the gadfly flew away, and after a while it was back on the tip of the tiger's nose...... The cycle repeatedly, and the end result was that the tiger was exhausted and lying on the ground motionless.
Like the tiger in the fable, we humans get angry and angry, and the result of anger is often to the exhaustion of ourselves.
In today's society, many people are not willing to lag behind, always want to do some achievements, which is a good thing, but inadvertently life will make a big joke with you, so that you will hit the ruthless "red light" solidly, or career failure, or unemployment and layoff, or love failure, etc., at this time you may complain that life is unfair to you, so you blindly complain about the world. But after all, this is of no avail, and society and others will not easily change because of these grievances, this is the reality, and no one can avoid it. At this time, you have to learn to adapt to society and take the initiative to bear it.
The higher the goal a person pursues, the greater the risk of failure and the more setbacks they are likely to encounter. If we don't have an open-minded mind and a strong psychological endurance, we will not be able to withstand the misfortunes and difficulties imposed on us by the outside, and we may be knocked down by the pressure from all sides, and we will be discouraged. However, if you think about it carefully, if you can't think about it, you can't eat, you can't sleep, what's the use, it's not that you can't get along with yourself!
It is often said that in everything you think about the good, eat what you should eat, and drink what you should drink. There is a humor that says that a person is always unhappy, and one day when he goes out carelessly, he falls into the water with one foot in the air, climbs ashore to take a look, and is happy - hey! There was also a fish in the pocket. Live with this mentality, and you will live a very peaceful and happy life.
When you calm down and think carefully, it is indeed not easy for people in this life, how many roads have been walked, how many things have been passed, and how many choices have been faced, it is impossible to always be proud and smooth sailing, there will definitely be a lot of unsatisfactory things, maybe one day unlucky things and unpleasant things will happen to you, at this time, you have to think about it, face life plainly, persuade yourself more, don't get along with yourself.
Sometimes when a person feels upset, he will feel that everything around him is the opposite of his thoughts or practices, and what is even stranger is that sometimes he will be angry with himself, and he will see that nothing goes well, but it is often his own momentary anger that harms his life.
Once upon a time, there was a camel that walked weakly forward in the desert. The midday sun was like a great ball of fire, as if it were about to swallow up the whole desert, and the camels were hungry and thirsty, and anxious. The camel was filled with fire in its belly, and it did not know where to go.
At this moment, a small piece of glass smacked the sole of its foot, and the huffing camel suddenly became angry, raised its foot and kicked out the broken glass piece fiercely. But he accidentally cut a deep hole in the soles of his feet, and the bright red blood immediately stained the sand grains red.
The angry camel limped forward in pain, leaving behind a trail of blood that attracted vultures in the air. They cried and circled in the sky above the camels. The camel was frightened and ran wildly despite his injuries, leaving a long trail of blood in the desert. When running to the edge of the desert, the strong smell of blood attracted the nearby desert wolves, tired and bleeding excessively, the weak camel had to rush around like a "headless fly", and ran to a man-eating ant's nest in a hurry, and the smell of blood provoked the man-eating ants to pour out of the nest and pounce on the camel in the dark. In an instant, the man-eating ants were like a black blanket, wrapping the camel tightly. In a few moments, the poor camel fell to the ground covered in blood.
Before dying, the behemoth sighed with remorse: "Why am I angry with a little piece of broken glass? ”
It was only before dying that he understood that he should not be angry at every turn, and the camel apparently understood too late. In fact, people are the same as camels, people will lose their temper when they are angry, and sometimes they will do something harmful to themselves, and only when they really face serious consequences will they find that what they did was because of a momentary anger, but they caused a fault that may never be unrecoverable. Yes, being angry can only hurt yourself!
"Don't get along with yourself", a sentence that is too ordinary to be ordinary, for large numbers, it is at best a vernacular. When you meditate down and think about it, you will find that living in a society where pleasure and troubles are cohabited, in daily life, people are in a state of mind where they "can't get along with themselves", so we are both sad and sad, time-consuming and laborious.
Don't get along with yourself, but it's easy to say, but it's not easy to be really proficient. In fact, in life, you should learn to take the following measures to strive not to get along with yourself.
(1) All human troubles are less painful than death, so there is nothing more fortunate in the world than to live. If you understand this truth, then the so-called worries and worries are nothing!
(2) Psychological narrow-mindedness, the bias of the perspective of observation of life, is one of the reasons why some people are not happy enough, if you can see with a big eye, listen with creative ears, and face it with a flexible state of mind, you will enjoy another pleasure in life.
(3) The most common reason for unhappy people is that they always like to live according to a plan. They are not enjoying life, but waiting for what will happen in the future, life is a series of problems, if you want to be happy, you have to give your mood a vacation, happiness without pressure is real happiness.
(4) How you treat life, how life will give back to you, only let the inner self never disappear, be your own God, instead of letting fate dominate you, happiness will always follow.
(5) All your troubles and pains are due to your desire to be too high, and the more things you carry, the more tired you will feel. If you don't suffer from gains and losses, then letting go is happiness.
Isn't life just a process, conflicts between neighbors, bumps and bumps between colleagues, and even resentment for some interests, and desperate for some nihilistic desires, so let yourself be in the "water and fire", is it worth it? In the final analysis, man's biggest enemy is himself, and if you want to have a good mood, you must first overcome yourself.
When we see some trivial things around us, we are angry! And he was very angry. Either crying, drinking, or going on a shopping spree. What's the use of doing that? If we get angry and cry a lot, we can only cry our eyes red and swollen; If we drink alcohol, we can only harm our own body; If we go on a shopping spree, we can only squander our money. These are actually punishing yourself, so don't get along with yourself.
