Life is becoming more and more pragmatic and practical. However, behind this is that life is getting more and more boring. In other words, we lost to the present.
Mr. Mu Xin said: "Without aesthetic power, it is a terminal disease, and knowledge cannot be saved."
Many times, we only know that we are constantly busy and running around, forgetting that there are still things around us that need us to feel and pay attention to.

Growing up, you have seen the sun countless times, but you may be too big to really see the sun once. Just like a condemned man suddenly lost his voice before his execution:
"I have seen the sun countless times before, but until today, I didn't pay attention to it for the first time. I didn't expect it to be so beautiful that I couldn't speak. "
There are too many things in life, just like the sun, which we have never really felt, paid attention to or experienced.
Many people say that they are poor, have no money and have no ability to pursue beauty. In fact, what is poor is not material, but a heart that discovers beauty.

Many people chase money miserably, but they always feel that it is not enough and want more.
Money, house, car, job, marriage, etc. These so-called things that bring people a sense of security exist in the desires of most people.
However, when these things get closer and closer to us, you will find that these things are not as beautiful as you think, and you always feel that something is missing in your heart.
We don't know what we are busy with every day. Decades passed, and one day we suddenly found that we never paid attention to our bodies and minds, and we didn't realize many beautiful and detailed things in life.
Like sleepwalking, we missed many years of life and life, and our life and life passed away mercilessly.

How to choose life? It is to observe everything in life with awareness, starting from the details. Consciously pay attention to and feel everything around you and feel the beauty of life.
Warm sunshine in winter, trees with red leaves and yellow leaves in the sunset, leaves rustling under your feet, have you felt all these simple and beautiful things?
When we are aware of every tiny thought of ourselves, you will find selfishness, greed, anger and laziness in human nature? When it fades away, there will be fewer and fewer thoughts.
You get the overall "sense of promotion". American writer Emerson once described this "sense of ascension" like this:
"Standing in the wilderness, my head is bathed in pleasant air, and the whole person seems to be pulled into infinite space. At this point, all selfish egos disappear instantly.
I became a transparent eyeball, I was nothing, I saw everything, the airflow of the universe penetrated my body, and I became a part of God.
Even my closest friends treat me like a stranger at this time. It doesn't matter whether you are a brother, a friend, a master or a servant, but trivial things disturb people's hearts.
At this point, my heart has been completely occupied by this immortal and infinite beauty. "
With this "sense of ascension", something called "wisdom" slowly rises in your heart and slowly blooms with the deepening of awareness.
