Chapter 19: The Revelation of Life
It's a crisp autumn evening, and I'm going to climb the mountain with ambition and ambition, and the flowers are blooming everywhere on a wide hillside, which is very beautiful. Ambition was too busy admiring the scenery to pay attention to the road under his feet, and suddenly, he accidentally fell, and couldn't help but cry out in pain "Wow...... Oh", but to his surprise, he heard a voice coming from somewhere in the mountains, repeating his voice "Wow..... Oh."
Ambition asked aloud curiously, "Who are you?"
As a result, the answer he got was "Who are you?"
Ambition was very angry, and roared loudly: "Coward", this time the answer he got was also "coward", he asked his father very curiously, "Father, what the hell is going on???"
An An smiled and said to Ambition: "Child, listen carefully." I only heard him yell: "I admire you", but another voice came back with "I admire you", and in the same way, Anxin once again said loudly: "You are a strong man", and only listened to that voice and replied "You are a strong man".
This surprised both ambition and ambition, but they still didn't know what was going on. So, Anxin explained to Ambition and Ambition: "Our ancestors called this 'echo', but in my opinion, this is 'life', everything you say and do will eventually respond to you, our life is simply responding to what we have done before, if you want every ethnic group in the spiritual village to respect you, then you also have to respect every ethnic group in the spiritual village, if you want more love in this world, then you must first create more love in your heart." Such relationships can be applied to everything in life. Life will respond to everything you have done, which is the same as our common 'good and evil will be rewarded in the end', our life is not a coincidence, it is like a mirror, reflecting everything you have given it. ”
"Now you understand?" Anxin asked.
Ambition nodded, so it was.
Ambition sighed: "It turns out that an echo contains such a profound philosophy!" ”
"Yes! So you have to pay more attention to and observe the things around you, and savor them carefully, so that you will find joy in life. Life has taught us a lot, and if you can learn and apply it, you will be able to live happily as you wish. Anxin sighed.
"By the way, did I eat all the pears I gave you during the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Anxin asked.
Ambition and ambition invariably replied: "Eaten." ”
"Okay, Ambition, tell me how you ate it first, and how you feel after eating!" Anxin asked.
Ambition replied: "Didn't you tell me before that those pears are still a little raw, and if you let them eat them for ten days and half a month, they will taste better?" I did exactly what you wanted. By the time I took it out and ate it a few days ago, it was all rotten, so I didn't even taste a bite. "Ambition complains about that.
After listening to this, Anxin smiled as if he had realized something, and then asked the same question to Ambition.
Ambition replied, "You told me before that those pears have been plucked from the tree for a long time, and they can't be put any longer, and they must be eaten quickly, or they will spoil, and I will eat them the next day." But I don't think you're right, because those pears are still a little raw, and they are jerky and hard to swallow after tasting them, and I haven't been able to finish them. ”
Anxin laughed and said, "It seems that you all have some feelings about this!" AmbitionDo you know that some things can't be left out for too long, even if they are a little jerky, you have to enjoy them in time, otherwise you will regret it later. Then he said to Ambition, "Ambition, you see, there are some things that cannot be rushed, and it might be better to leave them for a while, isn't it?" In fact, our mentality and way of life have basically determined the fate of our life, everything has a degree, and only by grasping it well can we make it beneficial to ourselves. Many truths in life can only be obtained by practicing by yourself, and you can't always have the psychology of dependence, otherwise, you will definitely suffer the loss. ”
The children listened to their father's words and nodded thoughtfully.
After a slight pause, Anxin asked again: "How is it, after today's events, you have gained a lot of life wisdom, right?" If you still have any doubts in your mind? Speak up and see if I can answer for you. ”
Ambition heard his father say this, and asked first: "Father, there is a question that has bothered me for a long time, why does Master Huixin always say that life is long and short, isn't it a contradiction?" ”
An An smiled and replied: "Everything has its two sides, and throughout history, a hundred years of life seems to be long, but it is actually very short. Pinching the head and going to the end, the real glorious time is only a few decades, and there are very few days that can be called glorious. In fact, in our whole life journey, most of the time is occupied by troubles, sorrows, failures, pain, and the happiness we want to pursue is always out of reach, life will inevitably have bleak and frustrated times, if you are unfortunate to live in such a dark struggle with no future, the days must be particularly sad and long, and this is precisely the reason why life seems to be long but is actually very short. Ambition, now you understand? ”
"Hmm." Ambition nodded as if he had realized something.
The ambition on the side listened carefully, and after seeing his father finish explaining, he also expressed the doubts in his heart: "Father, I also have a question that I haven't been able to figure out, they all say that life is short, so how can we make a short life meaningful?" ”
My father smiled the same and replied, "Life is limited, and desire is endless, so we should go with the flow in life and be content in order to be happy." If you want to live a meaningful life, then you better try to live the life you want in the way you like in your heart, and only then will happiness come unexpectedly. Although you are still just children, you must not waste your time because of this. How many decades can life have? Don't wait until you're in your twilight years to think about working hard and struggling, it's too late! ”
"Well, father, I see, your words have opened my heart." Ambition happily replied.
"That's good." Seeing that his two children have already learned how to think about life, he is full of joy and happiness, and his face is full of happiness.
They just sat together on the hillside and watched the sunset, which was a very warm and rare scene. Looking at the sunset, An An suddenly sighed: "Life is impermanent, and the world is unpredictable; Birth, old age, sickness and death, no one is spared. Children, if I am not there one day, don't be sad, just go for a hike in Heaven, and your hearts will be better. If you unfortunately encounter any setbacks and difficulties in life, then you don't have to hang your head, let alone be sad. Calm down and read, may be a good choice, our nation has a long history of cultural treasures, many ancient books and masterpieces contain unique cultural concepts, ideological wisdom, bearing and charm, they can empower the soul, can enhance your national self-confidence and pride, so as to help you better solve the difficulties you face. If there's anything you can't think of, think about what I'm telling you today, and I believe it will give you courage and strength. My spirit, children, will always be with you, just as I have never left. ”
Listening to their father's words, an inexplicable sadness suddenly appeared in the children's hearts, and they snuggled tightly into their father's arms. Silence is better than sound at the moment, and after this day's life revelation, the children seem to have learned to appreciate what they have in front of them.
