Many things have happened in recent months, some of which are serious and some are not, but in any case, the turmoil in the 1898 movement seems to be bigger.
Talk about confusion. I graduated for more than three years. Looking back on these three years, it is true that people have grown a lot and their thinking is objectively mature; The ability has indeed reached a certain level from scratch; I also jumped two grades in three years. But from the perspective of self-cultivation, I have recently seen my increasingly impetuous side. In this way, the so-called growth in front is so empty.
I have been questioning myself these days, whether my initial heart is still there, and today's juice just reflects childlike innocence. I think that the initial heart and childlike innocence are, in the final analysis, people's persistence in their deepest beliefs. No matter how different the views on the good and evil of human nature are, I think everyone has a conscience, so I think the most important point of Yangming's mind study is conscience. From the perspective of conscience, I think people's pursuit is pure and it is difficult to persist in adulthood. A friend said that the world of mortals is the best monastery, and I quite agree.
The ancients did not deceive me. Recently, when they reflect on themselves, they always feel that they need to cultivate their minds. What is my initial intention? The pursuit of Excellence, thinking about the world, and love for you. These three differences are three attitudes towards things, the world and humanity. If people are like this, they should not be impetuous, but look at their past actions from a macro perspective. Is there a utilitarian situation? Interest is also a kind of utility. If it is purely profit-driven, it is also a kind of self-satisfied utility, and there will often be self-orientation that tends to seek refuge. How can there be thick hair? How can there be a long-term future without heavy accumulation? In these three years, how many times have I made the choice of easy refuge, and how many initial feelings have been worn away by this world of mortals Dojo?
Looking back on the past three years, we should have experienced a lot of reflection, but is it because of the baggage lock of these years that we dare not take the step of breaking the past? Or is it easy to get used to it, so that you forget the fundamental thing?
You need to be a person who knows what you are doing, not someone you don't want to be.
