I like this sentence very much: The immeasurable amount of heaven and earth is mostly hidden in the struggle of desire; the wisdom and wisdom of the world often arise from gentleness and humility.
It is said that "an elephant is invisible, but a loud voice has no sound".
In the hustle and bustle of the world, it seems to be the norm for modern people to insist on pursuing the satisfaction of desires and gradually sinking in desires.
However, in a life born with desires, only by maintaining restraint and sobriety can you live the way you want after abstaining from sex.
Mencius once said: "The best way to nourish the heart is to have few desires." The so-called few desires mean to control one's desires well and face life with an indifferent attitude of "I am fortunate to gain, but my life will be lost"; to be able to clear away the desires in the heart
Well, walk around the world with a free and unrestrained spiritual attitude, and enjoy your life with peace of mind.
Do you still remember the "petty official and huge corrupt" Zhao Dehan in "In the Name of the People"?
Zhao Dehan holds the power to approve mineral resources across the country. Leaders at all levels have to queue up to see him. This satisfies his personal vanity, which also makes him greedy.
He lives frugally and lives in a very ordinary house. He eats very cheap fried noodles for dinner. He gives his mother 300 yuan a month as living expenses and leads a life like ordinary people.
However, such an honest-looking person actually embezzled 230 million yuan. The refrigerator, bed, and walls of the house were filled with money.
When the matter was revealed, he knelt on the ground and looked up to the sky with regret, crying: "I am a farmer's child. I am afraid of poverty. I don't dare to spend a penny of so much money!"
A greed that ruined his true happiness and made him afraid all his life.
As the old saying goes: "People's minds are filled with worry when they have many desires, and happiness when they have few desires." If there were not so many worldly and unrealistic desires, people would have more pure happiness; and they would not be motivated by unrighteousness.
Fight tremblingly for wealth, do not have to worry about fighting for the trough of desire, and have more joy in being a human being.
In Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou", there is this sentence: "The wren's nest in the deep forest is only a branch; the rat drinks from the river, but its belly is full." It means that no matter how lush the forest is, the nest of the bird is just a branch.
picked up one of the branches; the mole crossed the Yellow River and drank water desperately, just to fill his little belly.
Everything has limited needs. Even if you want to own the whole world, you have been to the whole world, but those worlds are only within your inch.
In one of Tolstoy's novels, there is such a story recorded: The king wanted to offer a reward to a brave man, and said to him: "You run, before the sun goes down, no matter how far you run, the area of ????this area will be all."
This is your city." The warrior was very excited after hearing this. He ran as hard as he could, frothing at the mouth, and continued. The sun was about to go down, and he wanted to run further and get more.
Many cities.
However, when the sun really set, he fell down and died of exhaustion.
The king was very sorry and said: "Why are you so greedy? If you fall, you will be buried with just this handful of loess." Desire without being satisfied means losing the reason for your desire.
It is wishful thinking to want to capture all the boundless desires in one hand.
Only when you know how to be satisfied and get out of the trap of desire will you gain real rewards.
You must know that if people can control their desires and clarify their true needs in life and self, then comedy will happen; indulging in the growth of desires and sinking in desires will only lead to tragedy.
Nietzsche once said: "As an adult, you need something more advanced than desire." The Japanese drama "Diary of a 38-Year-Old Divorced Woman's Dating App" tells such a story.
Qianqiu, a 38-year-old freelance illustrator, rents a house alone after her divorce, and occasionally feels lonely.
On the recommendation of a friend, she downloaded a dating app and started trying to contact people she matched with on the app.
This vast world is full of wonders.
Qianqiu was surprised that so many people were interested in her who was divorced at the age of 38. She thought she could find the right person here, but the reality was very disappointing.
