No reflection, no appreciation

Now autumn is getting deeper and deeper. All seasons can inspire people: spring makes people lively and happy; Summer makes people grand; Autumn and winter are interesting. I think autumn has the deepest meaning, which makes people feel a lot, moving in their hearts, and the meaning is very subtle. Unlike the rest of the solar terms, they are too exposed or too strict.

I think it's easy to make people introspect in autumn and make people feel deeply about their lives. People living in the world, if there is no reflection on life, will live too shallow and tasteless all their lives. No reflection, no appreciation.

Autumn is just a time when people can reflect on their lives and be moved. But the thoughts should be changed and the feelings should be flat. Calm down, just be calm. The more right it is, the more meaningful it is; The deeper the meaning, the more right it is. When I wake up in the autumn night, I feel the most emotion in my heart. Whenever the breeze blows and I feel thin and cold, I feel as much as a spring. However, in the final analysis, it is still in the encouragement of life, as if it is a feeling, or pack up and move on.

I am always shorter than literature, but I know very well that literature is to have the greatest appreciation and understanding of life; He goes hand in hand with philosophy. Everyone should receive a little literary education. This means that everyone should appreciate life. A heartless person should also let him reflect on his life. It should also make him feel a lot. When he lives in various forms, such as four seasons, family, being a guest, being a student, being a soldier, getting together and leaving, etc., he should be made to reflect on his life and appreciate it. The inspiration of this kind of feeling is to help people make progress.

Repentance and rehabilitation

What we can't relax in the timeline of life is how to deal with ourselves. If there is no way for yourself, there is no way for everything. We are all living, and we have to live without doing rural work; But how to arrange your life smoothly is not easy. If such a person is mediocre in qualification, he may have fewer inner conflicts; This means that he is easy to handle. If the qualification is very smart, he is a little talented, the more complicated and difficult the problem is!

Although he is talented and intelligent, I'm afraid he has more selfish desires than others. There are probably smart people who are pushy, face-saving, greedy for sound, color and goods, etc., especially greedy and demanding than others; This is his constant illness. Originally, he had a stronger heart than others, but his bad heart was also higher than others; If he doesn't clarify himself and can't recognize himself clearly, there must be many problems in his heart at this time. There must be many problems in teaching him to do rural work; Because he can't deal with himself, he will be lost all day long, and his spirit will not be comforted; If you are uneasy first, how can you do rural work?

You can see a rough idea of my own past experience in my "self-report". But there are still many things left unsaid. When I was twenty years old, my inner conflicts were fierce. Even if you are too ambitious, you look down on others, and it is easy to hate yourself; This reason is that on the one hand, I am strong, and on the other hand, I have many problems, so the meaning of "regret" is heavy, which makes me fight for myself; Fighting by himself, until he is so confused that he can't stand it, he will kill himself.

how can we calm down the inner conflicts? In this place, religion used to be very powerful. It can help people "repent" and "turn over a new leaf". Only "repentance" and "rehabilitation" can solve this problem. But when I say it, I don't get help from religion, so I can't point people at religion. However, "repentance" and "rehabilitation" are something that everyone should always remember. If anyone can blame himself more severely, his "repentance" will be deeper, and such people are probably good people. However, there are extremely complicated problems in his heart that cannot be solved. At this time, the most important thing is to help him "repent" and "turn over a new leaf".

My "repentance" and "rehabilitation" come not from religion, but from this place where I have an understanding of and sympathy for human life, so I often go to this place to lead "repentance" and "rehabilitation". What is the so-called understanding of human life? Is to understand human life when it is really pitiful. Because human life follows the life of animals; Along the life of animals, it is very close to a moving machine, a machine that can be automatic without human shaking. The machine is so pitiful that he can't help it. My so-called pity is that I can't help myself. It is easy to see that we will be tired and sleep after long activities, and we will be hungry without eating, which is obviously like a machine. Other likes, dislikes, loves and hates all kinds of passions are mostly involuntary. Look at this greed, look at that love, laziness, self-indulgence, and unconsciously he is like that. As far as I know, few people can control themselves. If you are angry, it's hard to control your anger! Somehow the idea came to him. More like a good name, showing off, etc., sometimes he knows it, at least he understands it, but he can't control himself.

Because I know a lot about human life, I feel pity and sympathy. Therefore, although I blame people's mistakes, I seldom blame them in my heart. I'm prone to his faults. To be fair, I'm just a lucky escape. In this way, we have an understanding and sympathy for human beings, so there is no other way to help people "repent" and "turn over a new leaf"! That's how people are! Forgive yourself! Let's all forgive ourselves! "Forget the past, let's try to open up life again!" There is only one sentence.

Yuan Lefan, an ancient man in China, said two words very well: "In the past, such as yesterday's death; In the future, such as today's birth. " This statement is really good! If there are people with inner conflicts, we can tell them: "repent and turn over a new leaf!" " "the past can't be remonstrated, and those who come can still be chased"! But if you really want to "repent and turn over a new leaf", you must see through your past mistakes as mechanical, pitiful and terrible! At this time, he can really feel pity for himself, turn "remorse" into compassion and pity himself. When you reach the state of compassion, you will be superb; If you don't fight or conflict, then nothing will stop you, so you can really "repent" and "turn over a new leaf" and open up a new life.

when a new life opens up, where is it different from before? Even in the past, this was greedy, and that was also loved. The small one was comfortable, the small one was cheap, and the material enjoyment. There are too many selfish desires and feelings, and there are too many places to move, so the heart runs here and there, sneaking around and wearing it.

When I'm "turning over a new leaf", I just look back and see that many of them are mechanical, pitiful, bad and undesirable! Reveal the likes and dislikes of the heart, the really likes and dislikes of the heart, and perceive that the previous miscellaneous bits and pieces are stinky, so-called "as bad as stench." Only by evil can we know its stink, despise it and give it up. If you are really evil about this thing, you will be able to reveal your vitality if you know how to exert yourself on the good side, as if your nose smells bad. Smelling the smelly fragrance is the cleverness of the nose. Only by knowing the stink can he "turn over a new leaf". Mencius pointed out the meaning of this abomination, "Don't do what he doesn't do, don't want what he doesn't want, that's all." This is really home. People used to tell right from wrong-because everyone has a mind not to steal things, if they don't do it, they won't do it. This is "righteousness"; Everyone has a mind that can't bear to harm others, and the expansion here is "benevolence." They are all pointing to "consciously" in a friendly place. Likes and dislikes make him obvious and give him strength.

Students, please reflect quickly! Hurry up and check up on all the mistakes you have made before! Don't say that I don't have something important to be known, that is, my exaggerated and pushy heart is unacceptable. This kind of heart will not die! This heart will never die, and you can't do rural work, even if there are no other problems. But laziness is not good! This kind of laziness is mechanical and involuntary inferiority, which comes from inner contradictions and conflicts. Although I am also strong-minded, as soon as I fight with myself, I feel helpless, can't hold the rudder, and it is easy to be lazy; Idleness is no good! When we do rural work, we must plug all the major problems and minor ones, give full play to the real life force, give full play to the life force smoothly, and have a way for ourselves, so that we can solve the problem first. Only in this way can we continue to do rural work.

however, how to prevent the exposure of faults? There is only "repentance" and only "rehabilitation". In "repentance", there is a deep pain and responsibility, and at the same time, we should sympathize with human beings. This is the original thing. Don't blame him. You can exert yourself here, and your spirit is strong and your ambition is strong; All the past problems, without dragging him or taking him, are completely new, like used paper, resolutely burn him, set up another diary and start over; It has to be like this

I said something like this. Everyone must reflect on themselves and examine the past when there is no one. I shed tears when I was wrong in the past, and put aside the past. You can't do it without "repenting", putting aside and making up your mind! The stronger you are, the more you should ask to solve this problem. I know my own problems best; That is to say, you must know how to solve your own problems before you can go on working.
