Chapter 139: Hongxue's Experiences (Part II)
Hongxue suddenly discovered another thing, a person can live a miserable life in a very smooth life, and someone can walk out of a very optimistic personality in a very miserable life.
She suddenly understood what Buddhism had always said about the truth that the self is the world, but this truth was too illusory, as if teaching a person to give up everything he had bound in the world, how absurd it was.
It's just like what this pair of childhood sweethearts said just now, and it's really Zen from the words of Buddhism.
It's just because Hongxue thought about it for a while, if she replaced the girl with herself, she would never be satisfied with the present: if a person can't live to see the scenery of a higher place, and can't enter the Eight Realms or even higher, then what's the point of living?
But she suddenly thought of another sentence: Chaowen said, you can die at night.
For her in the past, if she could realize the highest level of cultivation in the world in this life, even if she died in an instant for a day, it would be worth it.
So, what is the difference between myself and this little girl?
The only difference may be that the pursuit is different.
She couldn't help but think of such a sentence again, "A person's life itself is meaningless, just like a flower must bloom, like the symbiosis of light and shadow, everything is just an objective law." In this case, each person must find a beam of light for himself, which is also meaningless, but from the moment the person begins to pursue a certain light, it is the beginning of meaning. ”
It's just that these words that sound very reasonable, maybe they can give people great help and encouragement at a certain moment, similar to a blower, which can give people a lot of breath at a certain time, but people are born with a thousand holes, and this courage to complete it in an instant will be exhausted in a short time.
So, what are people like? Like a balloon that needs to be pumped up at any time, the courage to do it through external forces is often all leaked in a very short time, so what can those who are strong do?
Courage is self-generated, perhaps the subject that people need to complete in this life?
Hongxue was a little confused, she suddenly found that with her hundreds of thousands of years of experience, she couldn't be truly sensible, and the so-called truth she realized at that moment was quickly abandoned by herself.
Just because she suddenly felt that casually defining the so-called topics to be completed in life, then there are too many things to do in this life.
Some texts say that reconciliation with life is the subject of this life.
Some texts say that reconciling with one's own feelings is the subject of one's life.
Some texts say that finding the defects of the family of origin is a matter of life for a person.
Some texts say that finding the true meaning of one's own heart is the subject of one's life.
You see, in this life, it seems that they have never done anything, they have been attending classes all the time, but if everyone is going to need to do this in life eventually, then what is the difference between everyone?
She thought: It is often said that wisdom is the greatest gift that the gods give to certain living beings, because with wisdom, living beings begin to search for meaning, so that they will not live in confusion. It's just that every ordinary person I have seen these days is actually just the same person who has gone through countless reincarnations, and the essence of life is no different.
As a result, many people suffer and even end their lives because of thinking about the so-called meaning.
So, is wisdom a gift from the gods, or a curse from the gods?
Her gaze fell on the nearby swarms of ants, and the world often used this kind of unintelligent creature to warn others, saying that if a person is like an ant, born only to lie on his stomach in a nest and so on, then what is the point of living?
Now, as Hongxue looked at all this, at the ant colony that was busy in the sunset, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be a holy light on their bodies.
Hongxue rarely uses the word holiness to describe others, and the last time this word flashed was on Li Chen's body, because at that time, he said categorically in front of everyone in the villa that he would eventually take the villa down, and as for what place the end is, it is everyone's glory.
How illusory is glory? However, Li Chen was able to say this matter with great firmness and conviction.
Accustomed to seeing the vacillation of the world, this has nothing to do with the strength and wisdom he possesses, it is like facing an endless sea, some people say, through this sea, it must be an oasis. At first, everyone was trying, but halfway through, many people had already retreated, and many people walked fast at first, but in the end they gave up on their own initiative, shouting that this sea has no end, and finally took the initiative to sink in this ocean.
It has nothing to do with whether he succeeds or not.
In the past, Hongxue might have judged others by strength or various levels and ladders, but now she doesn't want to do this, just because now, she really doesn't know how to define judging a person's success or failure.
Such as the blacksmith and the proprietress may have been in the limelight for a while, but in the end they cowered in a town, like the walking dead, even inferior to the ants who moved their nests just now.
They may have been considered successful at one time, but in the end, because they lost their courage and were willing to admit their failures, they were actually the same as those insects who stayed in dark and damp places because they were afraid of the sun.
And some people are not born beautiful, at least in Hongxue's eyes, they really don't deserve the word scenery, such as the poor scholar who died back then, the person who couldn't even be remembered by her, only knew that he was Li Chen's disciple.
But he finally died in the Holy Dynasty Palace, and he never bowed his head until he died, like such a backbone, which has surpassed all the scenery of the blacksmith and others.
In addition, there are people who have lived a mediocre life and never realized their mediocrity, so peace and joy, is this considered a failure?
Hongxue sighed, in the past, she would never look at this kind of person in her eyes, but at this moment, she only felt that she was far inferior to them.
Success in the world is actually simple, a person does nothing, but raising future generations to be fat and fat, the annual harvest is full, and the old people can also look at their children and grandchildren every year, isn't this the greatest success?
She used to stand too high, such a simple truth, but only at this moment did she suddenly understand.
Those scholars or ministers who live in high temples are impassioned, and their rhetoric is gorgeous but not necessarily moving.
Most of the border soldiers are martial artists, and they can't talk about culture, let alone talk, but three or two sentences of scolding make the blood of the three armies boil.
Gulai Yashi lives in a high pavilion, and it is difficult to see a scholar go to the battlefield.
