Today, after reading Good as Water, I naturally formed some ideas about being a man.
Man struggles upwards, but water flows downwards. People always have something to pursue and yearn for, and most of these longings are in the distance and high places. And the water is low. In my opinion, a person should have a pursuit, but he should also be low-key, unassuming and not arrogant. Water can go with the flow, and people can choose their own place of residence and choose the best. On the road of pursuing oneself, learn to penetrate like water. Water can nourish everything. People are individuals, of course, they are not so great, but they can nourish themselves and people related to their lives. People's hearts will not be as broad as water, but they should also learn to tolerate people and things that have hurt them. In fact, once you learn tolerance, you will find that your world is also vast. Difficulties and dangers are no longer threats, and many things will get better gradually.
Water is spiritual, it knows how to conform to nature, to conform to the trend, not to compete with others for profit, to nourish everything, and to be speechless. Is boundless and unbounded. If you cultivate yourself with the character of water, you will definitely make life natural and calm. Just how can a layman have the realm of water, the mind of water, the infinity of water, the tolerance of water, the dedication of water, the softness of water, the clarity of water and the freedom of water. . . .
