Chapter 567: All things are martyred

Nian Fu smiled and said, "Hey! , If I get the feng shui of our family in the future, I will also marry several wives of her, give birth to a few more, and pass on the ancestry, so that after thousands of years, our family is still famous, and I have become the ancestor of the founding father! ”

Xiao Tianshu smiled: "Hahaha, if you don't start the sect and create the ancestor, you are also the ancestor of your son and grandson in the future......"

Nian Fu said with a smile: "This is not the same, this kind of old ancestors, remember two or three generations more than three generations, this is too much can not be more, where can anyone remember it for so long!" I want to be the kind of person that can remember for dozens of generations. ”

Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "Zhuangzi's words before his death, the mystery of breaking through the heavens, the earth and humanity, everything has its answer, but the time has not yet come." ”

Nian Fu said: "How do you say this? ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "Zhuangzi himself was in a very calm mood before he died, while the disciples planned to bury the teacher. ”

Nian Fu said: "What did Zhuangzi say? ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "Zhuangzi said: "I use heaven and earth to make coffins, the sun and moon to make double biblions, the stars to make pearls, and all things to make burials, what is better than this?" The disciples were afraid that after Zhuangzi's death, his body would be destroyed by birds and beasts, but Zhuangzi said: "On the ground, it will be eaten by birds and eagles, and in the ground it will be eaten by ants. The original words are, "On the top for the black kite, on the bottom for the ants to eat, to take the other and this, how biased!" "It is Zhuangzi's deathbed sentence, which breaks through the mysteries of heaven, earth and humanity."

Nian Fu said: "It is indeed worth pondering......"

Xiao Tianshu said: "Zhuangzi said: "Those who do their own things, it is not easy to grieve and be happy, and they know that they have no choice but to be at ease, and virtue is also the best." "People with high inner cultivation will not change their state of mind no matter what the circumstances; If things are irreparable, they can always be content with their destiny, which is the extreme of moral cultivation. I want something in life, I want it, I like it; If you can't ask for it, I don't have to worry about it. Do not force everything, do your best, and obey the destiny of heaven. To do one's best is to make as much ability as possible, to do as much as possible, and to do what kind of effort can be made. Maybe your current state is not satisfactory, and fatigue and confusion often hit you without a clue, but don't doubt yourself because of this, or even give up on yourself. Doing one's best is a process of struggle, a process of struggle, a process of changing one's destiny with sweat, a process of changing one's reality with courage, and a process of striving to make the outcome develop as scheduled. Manpower is exhausted sometimes, and sometimes, life will always encounter things that are difficult to control and helpless. At this time, there is no requirement for full blame. As long as you have a clear conscience, you should accept it calmly, that is, you should listen to the destiny of heaven. Obeying the destiny of heaven is acceptance, acceptance, facing calmly, and accepting things that cannot be changed with x. ”

Nian Fu said: "According to your statement, we can only listen to the destiny of heaven, and we can no longer fight with heaven, so I can only wait for death, then what is the meaning of my life, what I am most afraid of is living here and waiting for death!" ”

Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "I only saw that I listened to the destiny of heaven, but you didn't think that there was a person in front of you, this is the premise, if you struggle, you may not have the applause of success, either you fall down and get up, or change the direction and start again, you can't get along with yourself for this failure, you can't get along with society, and you can't get along with life." A person who can not only do his best, but also obey the destiny of heaven, is the only one who can advance and retreat, survive danger, climb slopes, and turn failure into a kind of scenery in life. ”

Nian Fu said: "How can this be compared with others, everyone has a direction, and they also have their own dreams, where am I going to fight this day!" In the end, it's not like waiting to die......"

Xiao Tianshu smiled: "Hehe, look at what you said, people don't wait for death in the end!" Don't compare with others, be yourself, Zhuangzi said: "The world is famous without persuasion, and the world is not discouraged." "The whole world thinks I'm doing a good job, and I'm not more diligent; The whole world says I'm not doing well, and I'm not depressed. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and this is how they make up all living beings. The world is interesting precisely because life is different. Only by focusing on oneself can we find our own aura and beauty in such a complex and expanding world. There is an idiom "Hu Niu Hu Ma", which comes from a story told by Zhuangzi: "

There was a man who thought he was erudite, and his name was Shi Chengqi. He often heard others praise Lao Tzu for his transcendent and noble wisdom, so he came to visit Lao Tzu.

He saw that Lao Tzu's house was as messy as a rat hole, and said angrily: "I heard that you are a saint with great wisdom, I walked hundreds of miles to see you, but I didn't expect you to be like a mouse!" ”

Lao Tzu listened like a wooden chicken, and there was no reaction. Shi Chengqi finished scolding and turned around and left.

The next day, Shi Chengqi felt that he was wrong, and came to apologize to Lao Tzu again.

Lao Tzu said calmly: "What a saint is not a saint, this kind of name, I have already thrown it away like a broken shoe." If I have the essence of attaining the Great Dao, what does it matter if you call me a cow, a horse, or a mouse? I'm still me. ”

Nian Fu said: "What you say, what you say, can't affect me, and it can't change me." If you choose to live in the eyes of others, you are doomed to die in the mouths of others. In life, everyone must have their own life, no matter how good other people's lives are, they may not be suitable for themselves; Only the life that suits you is the best life. Everyone has their own mission in their life, don't compare with others, live yourself well. ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "Don't worry about the future, the most unseepable thing in life is life and death." In fact, the fear of death is more terrible than death itself. Most people are afraid of death because they don't know what will happen after death. The biggest source of fear is the uncertainty of the future. "Liezi" records a story of "worrying about the sky": there is a person in the Qi State who worries about whether the sky will fall every day, and even can't eat or sleep because of this. When the people around him found out, they all persuaded him: "The sky won't fall, even if the sky really falls, you can't do anything about it." "Everyone thinks that the wolfberries in the story are very ridiculous, but we don't know that we are like wolfberries in our daily life. Many people are worried about things that haven't happened yet, and they spend a lot of time on them. That's why some people say, "There are too many worries in life, but most of the worries never happen." ”

Nian Fu smiled and said: "That's all groundless, I have a ready-made example, and it has become this situation, there is a certain amount of foresight!" ”
