When people reach middle age, there are many things to be done. There is only one word every day, and that is "busy". Too busy to care about one thing and ignore another. In the endless busyness, white hair grows day by day, wrinkles increase day by day, and the burden on the shoulders becomes heavier day by day. As a result, they are often troubled by the burden of life, but they are also agitated and depressed, and often send out a desire to get rid of it.

One night, I couldn't sleep, and I was still thinking about this problem in my mind ... Suddenly I saw an old man with a long beard of silver hair, and I quickly asked the old man how to get rid of it.

The old man said, "Every step you take, check a stone you like, put it in your basket and see how you feel in the end."

I did as the old man told me. Not far away, the stone was half filled.

The old man asked, "How is it?"

I said, "The farther you go, the more stones you like. The back is getting heavier and heavier. "

The old man piled a pair of silvery white beards and said with a smile, "Young man, we all came into this world with an empty donkey on our backs. However, as we grow up, we like more and more things. Every step we take, we should check what we like from this world and put it in the basket. The farther you go, the more things there are in the basket, which is why you feel that the burden of life is getting heavier and heavier. "

I asked the old man, "How should we reduce the burden of life?"

The old man replied: "It is actually very simple to reduce this burden. You just need to take out anything from work, marriage, family and friends, and the basket will reduce the burden. " The old man then asked, "Which one do you want to take out of the basket without hesitation?"

In the face of the old man's question, I was speechless.

After waking up, my mood suddenly became clear.

Yes, what each of us puts in the basket is the work, love, affection, friendship and many other "things" that we find in this world in the course of our lives. It is precisely because of these "heaviness" that we can't give up and feel the richness, enrichment and beauty of life! Therefore, when we feel the heaviness of life, we should feel lucky and satisfied. Because behind the heavy, it is bound to be the richness of life and the increase of life experience.

The basket of life, what it carries, will always be the weight of happiness.
