If you want to be truly happy, you must look down on worldly material desires and troubles and not seek fame and fortune. If you like martial arts novels, there is no need to be ashamed of A Dream of Red Mansions. If the person you like suddenly disappears, you don't have to make a fool of yourself and assert that he must have found another kind of happiness happily; If your relatives and friends encounter misfortune, you don't need to complain; If you are exhausted, there is no need to hate other people's health. In short, when we face everything calmly, happiness is in our hearts.
People who can be honest with each other regardless of fame and fortune will be happy all their lives, because they are easy to satisfy. We should "extract" our feelings from ordinary life, such as: the happiness of working as always under meager treatment, the happiness of helping others, the happiness of sincerely affecting the wicked, the happiness of being misunderstood as before, and the happiness of working hard ... These happiness can keep people excited about life, and this excitement comes from a sense of satisfaction with life. Excited by satisfaction; Because of satisfaction, I am full of passion for life. People with passion are of course happy.
In life, different people have different happiness, and Leshan is different. Quiet people can read books, listen to music, surf the Internet, write, draw pictures, take photos, watch birds and collect all kinds of collectibles ... while active people may dance, jog, climb mountains, swim, watch movies and go to the gym ... These things seem dull, trivial and even boring to some people, but for contented people, they contain great fun.
Life is short, and years are fleeting. Be kind to yourself, Lotte know life. This is the life creed of the contented. Contented people don't understand why some people should frown and be heartbroken for temporary frustration. Why do some people get upset about people and things they don't like? Don't you know that we are all comrades-in-arms who set each other off in the secular world, and all the unjust, false and wrong cases, wealth, fragrance and delicacy in the secular world will go with us.
People are as long as a hundred years, but as short as decades. What is there to show off? But it's all gone. Life is like a month, when it is full, it will be lost. How can everything go well, but you should know it in your heart. Innocent is reborn, and those gains and losses are nothing. Only contentment should be our tireless pursuit.
The response to "contented people are always happy" is "those who know the blessings live long". Throughout the ages, people who live long are mostly childlike. Laozi, who we know well, advocates quietness all his life, and is said to have lived for more than 1.6 years, becoming a model of "those who know the blessings live long". Shi, a health-preserving family member in Qing Dynasty, wrote a poem "Knowing Happiness":
Life is blessed, so why not?
Thinking about ignorance and pain is a kind of happiness.
Think of hunger and cold, suffering, full of warmth is bliss.
Thinking about fatigue and suffering is bliss.
Considering the bitterness of parting, reunion is a blessing.
Considering the hardships of swords and shadows, peace is a blessing.
Think about the hardships in prison. Freedom is bliss.
Think about it, you will be blessed with children.
Considering that illness is painful, health is happy.
Thinking about the bitterness of death, living is bliss.
Think about the hardships, and there are many blessings.
Unfortunately, few people in the world will enjoy happiness.
Knowing it is bliss, knowing it is joy.
I advise the world not to be ungrateful.
These words of Mr. Shi Lao are plain and intriguing. As long as people can live to this point, they will certainly live long.
People have different understandings of happiness. Some people think that money is happiness, some people think that work is happiness, some people think that family harmony is happiness, and so on. Since ancient times, all Tessa advocates self-cultivation and takes pleasure in spiritual pleasure, so there is a saying that "great virtue will lead to life."
Confucius, who traveled all over the world and suffered repeated failures, lived for 73 years by the way of "an upright man is open and poised, where little people are always there". Bai Juyi, an official in Hangzhou, takes innocence and incorruptibility as the way to be an official. The locals gave him two "pillars of heaven", and he used "fear of these two stones, nothing hurts innocence" for self-discipline, at the age of 75. As we all know, Liu Yong, who was selfless and fearless for an official all his life, died peacefully in Jiaqing nine years at the age of 85. Zheng Banqiao was a famous painter and poet in Qing Dynasty, and also an honest official. Later, he quit his job and made a living by selling calligraphy and painting. He lived to be 73 years old. Zheng Banqiao wrote a poem: "Throwing away the black veil is not an official, and the sleeves are cold. Write a thin bamboo as a fishing rod on the autumn wind river. " Treating fame and fortune in this way and feeling quiet is naturally conducive to longevity.
Zhuangzi, who was truly blessed by his soul, lived 83 years in the pre-Qin era when his average life expectancy was only 30 years. He wrote in the article "Zhuangzi Heaven": "Doing nothing for Yu Yu and Yu Yu will not be able to deal with worries and live a long life." This means that for a calm, contented and calm person, no sad patient can stay with him, so he can prolong his life. This is probably what modern people call "mental health". From this point of view, "no desire, no desire" is the primary condition for happiness in life.
