Probably I watched the Reader too much in junior high school, which hurt my appetite for inspirational articles. Over the years, I have been chasing some seemingly unfamiliar and obscure books to flaunt my maverick. Proud to think that I understand most of the truth of life, I use the excuse that knowing is easier than doing to cover up my usual mistakes, big and small, and resolutely resist all preaching.
Maybe we really don't understand many things, and it's true that it's often easier said than done, but how many people need to be reminded that the truth of negligence is to be suddenly enlightened. What reminds me of some truth this time is that seagulls are just seagulls. It may be different, or it may be all beings.
It may not take 20 minutes to browse easily. But I began to love the pleasure of reading softly.
"Thousands of seagulls flew in, dodging and scrambling for breakfast. However, Jonathan Livingston Livingston Seagull stayed away from flocks of seagulls, coasts and fishing boats and practiced flying alone in the distance. " Straight words, but I can't help but imagine such a scene, which is the sentence I read the most.
Maybe everyone will find their own shadow in Jonathan, and I just wander around the seagull who is vaguely looking for truth but has no clear purpose at first. Other people's eyes and parents' encouragement will make me swing easily.
Life has a faint revelation, and flying is far more important than eating. "I just want to know what I can and can't do in the sky."
It is not easy to endure loneliness, not to mention too many obstacles. Do we also doubt our abilities and dreams?
Romance has also been blown away by the wind and rain, vowing never to miss those distant dreams again. But "a seagull who pursues Excellence in learning doesn't need such an oath." After all, I can't resist the temptation of that dream that is still hanging high. It's there calling, calling, calling you.
In an era, Excellence is an enviable quality, because most people are mediocre.
Jonathan's soul stands on high places, so he has to bear the loneliness of high places. He really stayed away from the flock this time. He was exiled.
He is alone, others don't love me, and I don't love others. I can spend a long and wonderful life alone.
Then he met a group of seagulls who were as maverick as himself, met his teacher Jiong, and began to break through the limit and look for heaven. "Heaven is not a place, nor a period of time. Heaven is the realm of perfection, and perfection is infinite. "
The secret is: I no longer think that I am confined to a limited body, that my wings are only 42 inches, and that I can't go beyond the established route map. The key here is to know your own essence, knowing that perfection is like an unwritten number, which can make you transcend time and space in an instant.
"Flying doesn't need faith, just understanding." Jonathan understood, so he became a perfect and unrestrained seagull.
Our whole body from one end of the wing to the other is actually your thinking itself, that is, the tangible thinking we can see. Break through the shackles of our thinking.
The realm has improved, Jonathan is no longer lonely, and it also helps the world. The teacher told him: "Keep learning and love."
Jonathan's students have problems. This is a dialogue:
"I don't understand, how can you love a group of birds that want to kill you?"
"Of course not, no one loves hatred or evil. You must know the real seagulls. They all have good nature, so you should help them find their own advantages. This is what I call love. For example, I remember a grumpy seagull named Fletcher. When he was just exiled, he was bent on fighting to the death with Europe, so he built a hell for himself on the' distant cliff'. Today, however, he has built a paradise for himself here and led the whole European group to the same goal. "
"What do you mean,' I want to lead'? You are a teacher here, you can't leave! "
"I can't? You don't know other seagulls, other Fletcher? They need teachers more than here. The seagulls here have already flown on the bright road. "
Don't let them spread stupid rumors about me, and don't treat me as a god. I'm just a seagull. I like flying.
A little Mohist "universal love" feeling.
What we want is freedom. No one can stop your yearning for freedom.
"You can be yourself. You have the freedom to shape your true self. Nothing can stop you here and now. This is the law of the great seagull, and this is the real law. "
"Seagulls are born to fly. Freedom is the essence of life. Anything that hinders freedom should be abandoned. No matter what form of restriction, religion or superstition should be abandoned. "
I don't have Jonathan's superb understanding. He is extraordinary. I just want to be different.
I saw a passage: Have you thought about it? When we first thought that there were more things in life than competing with flocks of seagulls for food, struggle and power, how many kinds of lives did we have to experience? Joe, a thousand lives, ten thousand lives! Then, live a hundred more lives, and then we begin to understand perfection. After another hundred lives, we realize that the purpose of our life is to find perfection and show it. Now, we follow the same principle of life. Of course, through what we have learned, we can choose the next realm of life. If you don't learn, so will the next realm of life, and the same limit will bring the burden of overcoming it.
So I began to have a little courage to face some trivial things. When we turned that abstract dream into something concrete, I found that we were far away from that dream, especially far away. But this is a gathering of thousands of lives.
After all, as long as you keep looking, you will find the legendary things.
If we don't find it, we will end up with nothing. If you do, there is at least a glimmer of hope.
Hope is better than no expectation.
