Heaven and earth create everything together. Nature is generous in cutting things, but never pretends to be a creator.
The rain moistens everything silently, and the sea contains all rivers. Water is the softest and most firm in the world, but it never takes credit. The breeze in Xu Lai brings the fragrance of flowers, and you can't even feel the air.
These natural things are everywhere, but they are gentle and honest and unobtrusive. And what reason can we be proud of growing up in nature? So people should learn to "marginalize" themselves, that is, not be self-centered.
If you are not self-centered, the most important thing is to learn to see the world from another angle, not just from yourself. Maybe you think you are an eye-catching star and the focus of the stage, but in the eyes of a farmer, you are just a strange young man, far less important than his crops. Maybe you are forcing your children to go to various cram schools, but in their eyes, blue sky, white clouds, grass and games can constitute the most beautiful childhood. So in the eyes of others, you don't have to be dazzling, you have to see your humility with other people's eyes. In the eyes of children, what you regard as the golden rule may be dazzling. You should look at your humbleness through other people's eyes. In the eyes of children, what you regard as the golden rule may be worthless, so you should find your innocence and happiness in the eyes of children. Look at the world with different eyes, and you will see more beautiful colors.
Only by not taking yourself as the center of the world can we know ourselves correctly. Boasting that "the authorities are fascinated, the bystanders are clear", only by jumping out of the self can we know ourselves. "China is a country rich in products, and there is no need to exchange needed goods with foreign countries." It is precisely because in recent years, the Qing Dynasty boasted that "China is a country", closed its doors to the outside world, and failed to realize its own shortcomings, thus falling behind the world. Future generations look at history without exception, because at this time, we can clearly see the gap between East and West, without arrogance. Therefore, we should jump out of ourselves and look at ourselves, so that we can know ourselves and improve ourselves.
Not being self-centered is a humble gesture and an elegant demeanor. In the earthquake of magnitude 9 in Japan in March, the Japanese people fully demonstrated this attitude and demeanor. Thousands of people are waiting for relief supplies. You can imagine the fear in their hearts at that time. No one cut in line when collecting materials. Finally, there is no rubbish in the whole website. They are not self-centered, and everyone's life and needs are equal. In China, there are many examples of selfishness and disregard for others. Individuals and nations need to learn to respect others, not to be self-centered, and to keep their manners and postures.
When you are no longer the center of the world, you will understand that all beings are equal, and you will no longer despise a butterfly and a fallen leaf. You will live in humility and elegance, and you will understand the nature of silence.
