Chapter 26: Essay "Twenty-Six"

Last night I talked a lot with an uncle, talked about a lot of topics, and also had a lot of common language, every time I communicated with my uncle, I suddenly felt that I had grown a lot, I felt that I was much more stable than before, I thought more, I was much more mature, I was always reluctant to think about the problems before, now I have to think about it, in the face of all kinds of people, sometimes I have to pretend, I have to say some compliments, I have to do something that I hate very much, I feel that I have little left of my original self, think about my original self, I am more disgusted with those who pursue fame and fortune and tend to be attached to them, but now I feel that this is the mainstream of society, and I feel that this is the so-called pursuit and dream.

I once felt that I was out of place with society, and I had a plain attitude towards everything, and I was at peace with what I encountered, without desire, but gradually, I experienced a lot, and I was unconsciously affected by the external environment, so that you had to change, to adapt to this society, otherwise it would really become out of place.

Everyone is a book, the cover is given by our parents, we can't change it, all we have to do is try our best to write the content inside, to change our own story, to make it vivid and interesting, and wait until decades later, in retrospect, worthy of ourselves, as long as we do our best, we have no regrets.

I don't know when my uncle started to believe in Buddhism, I often read some Buddhist classics, and then became otherworldly, I saw everything so open, I was really very envious, and even chose to aid Xinjiang last year, which surprised me very much, although I haven't been there, but I have heard that the conditions are very difficult, many people are not used to it, but my uncle stayed for half a year and came back and said that he felt okay, and updated the situation there every day, now think about it, a person's life, say that no one will be truly satisfied, and if you are not satisfied, you will never be satisfied, so many things, It depends on what kind of vision you have to look at it, think about it, think about it, get by, and if you can't figure it out, it's hard to get by, which is also a reflection of a person's immaturity.

Whether a person is mature or not, is not to speak in chapters, say many profound truths, or how high the ideological realm is, but to treat people comfortably, and not humble or arrogant, not that you can use a lot of big truths to enlighten others, but you can convince yourself to understand the people and things around you, a person's maturity is not manifested in how many achievements have been obtained, but in the face of those disgusting people and things, do not cater or resist, only smile indifferently, when the heart can accommodate a lot of things that you don't like, it means that you are really mature.

However, I should also keep up with this sign of maturity, treat the people and things around me with a normal heart, and do not like things and not be sad about myself.
