Section 3: Strip hatred from the heart

The noblest revenge is tolerance. Most of the pain in life is because of holding on to the past mistakes, and the habit of self-pity makes people review the painful experience of the past over and over again, and regain the feeling of the time again and again - so-and-so hurts me deeply, hatred accumulates more and more in the bottom of my heart, rejecting happiness and joy, only by letting go of hatred, can the soul be free, peaceful, and happy.

Hate can only produce more hate. In the same way, more love for others produces more love. Treat others as you would have them do unto you.

Ali, a famous Arab writer, once traveled with two friends, Giber and Marsha. While traveling through a valley, Masha slipped and fell, but Ghiber pulled him desperately to save him. Masha then carved on a large stone nearby: "On a certain day, a certain year, a certain month, and a certain day, Giber saved Masha's life. They walked on for a few days, and when they came to a river, Giber and Masha quarreled over a trivial matter, and Giver slapped Masha in a fit of rage. Masha ran to the beach and wrote: "In a certain year and a certain month, Et, Giber slapped Masha in the face. ”

When they returned from their trip, Ali asked Marsha curiously, "Why do you engrave the story of Jiber saving you on the stone, and the story of Jiber beating you on the sand?" Massa replied, "I am forever grateful to Giber for saving me, and I will forget all about the beating he gave me as the handwriting on the beach disappears." ”

Remember the kindness of others to us, wash away our resentment towards others, and only then can we soar freely in the journey of life.

When you get along with others, you will inevitably have resentment, but if you use hatred to solve hatred, it will hurt not only the other party, but also yourself. Only by forgiving others with a tolerant heart and resolving with love is the best solution.

A young village woman asked the doctor, "What is the secret recipe for poisoning my mother-in-law?" I can't stand her abuse anymore! The doctor told her, "You can often give your mother-in-law sweet taro puree, and she will die without illness in 100 days." After 100 days, the village woman cried to the doctor: "My mother-in-law has suddenly changed her attitude and has become very kind to me, but she has been eating sweet taro paste for 100 days, what should I do?" After hearing this, the doctor smiled and said, "Don't worry, your mother-in-law won't die!" ”

Sweet taro paste doesn't poison people, it's just a delicious snack. Since the daughter-in-law often served her mother-in-law with a smile on her face, and the mother-in-law often ate the sweet taro paste prepared by her daughter-in-law, the mother-in-law changed her attitude and treated her daughter-in-law well.

In life, if you have the opportunity to take revenge but give up, but instead help your enemy out of danger, this kind of tolerance is the most noble.

Once upon a time there was a rich man, and he had three sons. In his advanced age, the rich man decided to leave all his fortune to one of his three sons. But which son will you leave your fortune to? The rich man asked the awakening master to help him come up with an idea. So, the master came up with a plan: he wanted the rich's three sons to spend a year traveling the world, and when they returned, they would see who had done the noblest thing and who would be the heir to the property.

A year passed quickly, and the three sons returned home one after another. The Master of the Awakening World asked all three of them to talk about their experiences.

The eldest son said proudly: "When I was traveling the world, I met a stranger. He trusted me so much that he gave me a bag of gold coins for safekeeping. But the man died unexpectedly, and I returned the bag of gold coins to his family in its original condition. ”

The second son said confidently: "When I traveled to a poor and backward village, I saw a poor little beggar who unfortunately fell into the lake. I immediately jumped off my horse, rescued him from the river, and left him a sum of money. ”

The third son said hesitantly: "I, I haven't encountered two *** to that kind of thing." I met a man on my travels, who wanted to get his hands on my money bag and did everything he could to harm me along the way, and I almost died at his hands. But one day I passed by the edge of the cliff and saw that the man was sleeping under a tree on the edge of the cliff, and I could kick him down the cliff with just one lift of my foot, and I felt that I could not do so, and I was about to leave, and I was afraid that he would turn over and fall off the cliff, so I woke him up, and went on my way. It's really not a meaningful experience. ”

The rich man asked the master of the awakening world to comment.

Master Xingshi nodded and said, "Honesty and courage are all qualities that a person should have, and they cannot be called noble. The most noble is to give up when you have the opportunity to take revenge, but instead help your enemies out of danger. I suggest that you give all your possessions to the third child. ”

It is rare to have the opportunity to take revenge but give up, but instead help your enemy out of danger, but only such an open-minded and tolerant person can be called noble and enjoy the highest state of life.

How difficult it is to be able to abandon hatred and be kind to one's enemies in the face of those who have caused us great mental and physical pain. However, the common people of the Soviet Union did it, and their actions once shook the whole world.

In the winter of 1944, 20,000 German prisoners of war lined up and crossed the streets of Moscow, and all the roads were crowded with people. Soviet soldiers and policemen stood guard between the prisoners of war and onlookers, mostly women: every one of them was a victim of war, a father, a husband, a brother, or a son, and was killed by Deko. The women, full of hatred, looked in the direction where the large group of captives was coming.

When the captives appeared, the women clenched their industrious hands into fists, and the soldiers and policemen did everything in their power to stop them, for fear that they would not be able to control their impulses. At this time, an elderly woman wore a pair of worn-out boots from the war years. Putting her hand on the shoulder of a policeman, she asked her to approach the captive: she got to the captive and took out from her bosom something wrapped in a calico scarf. Inside was a piece of black bread, which she embarrassed to shove into the pocket of a tired captive barely able to hold on to his legs. So the whole atmosphere changed, and the women flocked to the captives from all sides, stuffing them with bread, cigarettes, and all sorts of other things.

This is a story told by the Soviet writer Yevtushenko. It is a very wonderful thing that the common people of the Soviet Union can turn enemies into human beings, give friendship and care, turn punishment into warmth, and turn harm into peace on the street. These German captives were wrongdoers, but they were not abandoned, they were not hit, they regained their lost souls. All this is the result of an inclusive mind.

You can't let hatred ferment in your heart, forget the hatred, forgive the people who have hurt you, your heart can be relaxed, and your life will be happy.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa, winner of the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize, emphasized: "Without forgiveness, there really is no future!" "We must tolerate all kinds of blows in the journey of life, and in the face of the ridicule and blows of the world, we must learn to tolerate, learn to bear, and use tolerance to resolve all kinds of resentment, showing our deep and broad personality charm.

When a person is able to forgive others, stress can be relieved, psychological balance can be restored, and a new life can be actively created. The power of forgiveness is great, try to forgive the person you hate, try to let go of the hateful thoughts in your heart, you may get not only a peace of mind, but also a rare gratitude.
