2023/11/10 Yin and Yang can be reconciled
When the water is clear, there are no fish, and if people are cheap, they are invincible.
You should have known this sentence from your classmates since elementary school, right?
It is also possible that when I was in elementary school, I came into contact with those classmates who liked to say these words, so I looked back and thought that there were already high-ranking people among my classmates at that time, who were conveying life philosophy to me.
This kind of turbidity is the normal state of life, but we always want to find the scoop of clear water, who is in pain if you don't suffer?
What is mental maturity? It is impossible for a man to have a mature mind in this life, and when he is old, he will be like an old child, like all kinds of childhood interests such as thrushes, crickets, and kite flying.
However, for some people who have stepped into the workplace and entered the shopping mall, there are different opinions on mental maturity.
Mental maturity means that you are able to communicate with the people around you, but mental immaturity? I always want to distinguish between black and white, always want to distinguish between right and wrong, let me tell you, the ancestors have long said something - yin and yang, and later you will find that there are two words called - harmony.
Yin and yang, do they blend together? relative, but interactive.
If you only want to find yin, or you only want to find yang, it means that you are going against the laws of nature, and you are expecting the world to be daytime for 24 hours, or night for 24 hours, which is called out of place.
Take a bottle of water as an example, at the beginning, you may be a pure water with a pure mind, and then through the influence of external factors, your bottle of water will become turbid or more translucent due to various influences from the outside world. Why? Because you accept impurities, but these impurities, you have your own choice, whether to let it affect you or turn a deaf ear.
When you reach your thirties, forties or even fifties, you will find that there is still mud and sand underneath this bottle of water. What is it? It's something you can't take in the world, but if you go out into the world, you'll find that the bottle of water is all mud and sand, and that's what you look like in the world.
Unless you can support yourself, unless you can work hard for your dad without making money, no problem. You can be willful, you are capable, you are powerful, you are rich, you don't expect to be friends with anybody out there. That's fine, you just stay still, but if you're in this world, you're going to be with a lot of mud and sand that you don't want to accept.
Everyone wants to be themselves, no problem, but you have to learn to live with the sediment.
When you have your own strength, you can be yourself, you can be that bottle of very clean water, but I'm sorry, when you don't have the ability, you can't eat, you are about to lose your job, but you hold your own complacent idea and don't accept things from the outside world, then you will be very uncomfortable, because you are not transparent.
Why? Because you want to get rid of the sediment, sorry, you can't do it at all.
First, you don't have the ability; Second, you don't have this wisdom. But you always want to find that scoop of clear water, if you can live a good life, it's strange!
So, I would say that your pain basically comes from being so naïve and causing you pain.
Do you really want to calm this bottle of water? Okay, what do you need to do at this point?
You need to meditate, and the purpose of meditation is to make the water clear quickly, and once you accept it, you will find that the world is like this, then you will accept it, and you will enjoy it, and you will use it to tell everyone that it is a work of art.
Why? Because it shows us what the water looks like with the sediment, and then you find that when you shake it up, when you stick it to a very close distance to you, it can even become a musical instrument, can you hear the sound? It's the sound of sand falling from above, and then that's when you realize, wow, if I change the outside bottle to a bottle that can guide the sound, it can almost become a voice prop.
Franklin once said that the only thing that can bring growth to a person is pain, and nothing else.
So if you say, is the world so miserable? I will tell you, of course this world is not so painful, if you can calm down, when the water in this bottle becomes lighter, it is the most enjoyable time in your life, because that is then called - be yourself.
