In the endless busyness, the white hair grows day by day, wrinkles are more and more, and the burden on the shoulders is heavy day by day. Later, the children went to school and the wife was transferred from the township to the county, but the burden of life increased. Therefore, in order to make a living, for my family, for my wife and children, and for the responsibility entrusted to me by society, I can only take it for granted to continue running around and work wholeheartedly. Just like an old horse carrying a heavy load, facing the heavy cart of life, there is no choice but to pull it hard.
Tired, become inevitable, become a normal life.
Therefore, I often miss those carefree days, knowing only two meals a day, only school exams, only traveling around, only playing cool and relaxing.
As a result, they are often troubled by the burden of life, but they are restless and unhappy, and often have a desire to get rid of it.
One day, a friend who was also burdened by the burden of life, but always remained optimistic and open-minded, told me such a story after listening to my distress. It is said that there is a person who, like us, lives a heavy life, wading through mountains and rivers, looking for a way for saints to consult and get rid of it. After listening to his distress, the sage brought him a bamboo basket, pointed to a gravel road and said to him, "Every step you take, pick up a stone you like and put it in the basket to see how you will feel in the end."
The man did as the sage said, but he didn't go far. The stone was half a basket. The saint asked him how he felt. He said: "The farther you go, the more stones you like and the heavier the basket." The sage piled up silver whiskers and said with a smile, "son, when we first came into this world, we all took an empty basket." However, as we grow up, we like more and more things. Every step we take, we must pick up something we like from this world and put it in the basket. As a result, the farther we go, the more things there are in the basket. This is why you feel that the burden of life is getting heavier and heavier. "
The man asked the saint, "How should we lighten the burden of life?" The sage replied, "It's actually very simple to lighten this burden. You only need to take anything in work, love, marriage, family and friendship out of the basket to reduce it. " The saint then asked, "which of these things do you want to take out of the basket without hesitation?" Faced with the wise man's heckling, the man was speechless.
After listening to my friend's story, my mood suddenly brightened up.
I remember that Lin Qingxuan, a famous writer in Taiwan Province Province, once said: "Love and beauty can alleviate the heaviness of many lives." For example, Lin Qingxuan once said: When you come home and see your lover, you can pick her up with loving touch and turn her around. Then, you go and find a stone weighing 50 kilograms, pick it up and turn it around. As a result, you will find that the stone is very heavy, several times heavier than your lover. Why? That's because you don't have any feelings and love for stones. The weight of a stone is pure weight, and the weight of a lover is a kind of happiness.
Yes, what each of us puts in the "back basket" is not pure stones, but many "things" that we have carefully searched from this world in the course of life, such as love, career, family, marriage, friendship, etc., are haunting us. It is precisely because of these reluctant "heaviness" that we feel the richness, beauty and fullness of life. So when you feel the heaviness of life, you should feel lucky, satisfied and happy. Therefore, behind the heavy must be the richness of life and the harvest of career.
The basket of life always carries the weight of happiness.
