This sentence is thought-provoking, which reminds me of climbing Mount Atai a few years ago. A group of us rushed to Mount Tai to watch the sunrise, but the weather was not beautiful. Even after waiting for two days, it was foggy and I couldn't see the true face of Mount Tai. Everyone feels unlucky. On the third day, God was still frowning, and Mount Tai was even more foggy.
Because we couldn't see the road and the surrounding environment clearly, we concentrated on counting more than 6,000 steps until we reached the top of the mountain. Arriving at Jade Emperor Peak, Tianshan Mountain is United and gray, as if walking into a chaotic world. We can't see the sunrise, let alone express the lofty sentiments of "reaching the top, the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky.". We had a rest and decided to come back. Someone suggested taking a cable car, but I couldn't see anything anyway, and I went down as soon as I whistled.
I never thought it would be so easy to go down the mountain. At first, although everyone's legs trembled, it was much easier than panting when they went up the mountain. But the farther you go, the more your legs shake. In the next two steps, you should rub your calf and relax your muscles. Stop and go like this, the speed is not as fast as when going up the mountain. Fortunately, there are crutches on the side of the road, and each of us is leaning on one, which is generally embarrassing to be defeated by limping down soldiers.
It turns out that going down the mountain is not as simple as I thought. From the mechanical principle, when going up the mountain, the center of gravity is downward, and the force on itself is upward, which is easy to maintain balance; When going down the mountain, the center of gravity and its own force are downward, so it is not easy to grasp the balance. Going up the mountain is laborious but dangerous, and going down the mountain is laborious but afraid of slipping.
People who only want to go up the mountain happily and have no mental preparation for "going down the mountain" are bound to encounter setbacks or even failures. If going up the mountain is the process of gaining honor, then going down the mountain is the process of maintaining honor, just like "starting a business is easier than keeping it", the two have the same effect.
Mountaineers have to go down the mountain, officials have to leave their posts, and everyone goes down the mountain sometimes.
When I went up the mountain, I was full of confidence because I had accumulated strength and hope was calling. When I went down the mountain, I lost my mind and panicked-this is not only my physical weakness, but also my inner anxiety imbalance. Many elderly people are unhappy, unhealthy and unhappy because they have not mastered the essentials of going down the mountain and have not adjusted their mentality and rhythm.
Going up and down the mountain is the normal state of life. Going up the mountain pays attention to physical strength and courage, and going down the mountain pays attention to mentality and cultivation. Going up and down the mountain with a heart of awe, gratitude, caution and humility is not only a healthy attitude towards life, but also a refined wisdom.
