In Africa, local people use a strange hunting method to catch baboons: in a fixed Xiao Mu box, they put nuts that baboons like to eat, and there is a small hole in the box, just enough for the baboons' front paws to stick in. Once baboons grab the nuts' claws, they can't stick them out. People often catch baboons in this way. Because baboons have the habit of refusing to put down what they have got, people always laugh at baboons' stupidity. However, if we look at ourselves, we may find that baboons are not the only ones who make such mistakes.
Because they can't let go of their position and interests, some people run around all day, ignoring their due work; Because they can't let go of attractive money, some people try their best, and the result is often complacency; Because they can't let go of their possessiveness of power, some people are keen on flattery, bribery and even lose their dignity. Once it gets out, they will regret it. ...
Life is like a boat. The boat of life can't bear too much material desires and vanity. In order not to run aground or sink on the way to the other shore, it must only carry what it needs and put down those "nuts" that should be resolutely put down.
Letting go is a feeling, but also a freedom of mind. "The more you let go, the more comfortable you are" is an epiphany. Sense of relief; A sunny day after the clouds cleared. You also need to be unimpeded, open your heart and let go of everything. You should know how to cherish the present, be more mature and worry less. Think more and regret less. You need to be more indifferent and less famous in the pursuit of life. More true feelings, less worldly. You need to abandon some earthly troubles, leave an open sky and let your soul settle down.
In fact, there is a lot of happiness in life, but I often have my own troubles and "empty troubles". I am trying to pursue happiness, but I can't let go of the burden in my heart. I take things that I shouldn't value too seriously, and I always want to put something down, but I can't. I am busy in the world every day, running my own world every day, and my expectations for work, life, friends and relatives are rising.
Putting it down means opening up and putting it down. If you always keep unhappy things in mind, you will only be more unhappy. You should face some unhappy things frankly. Let go of trivial matters in work and life when it is time to let go; For some grievances, no longer entangle, no longer add unnecessary trouble to yourself. ...
Letting go is a kind of life wisdom.
Letting go is a spiritual knowledge.
Let go of pressure and live a relaxed life; Let go of troubles and live happily; Let go of inferiority and live confidently; Let go of laziness and live a full life; Let go of negativity and live successfully; Let go of complaining and live comfortably; Let go of hesitation and live smartly; Let go of narrowness and live freely. ...
Zen story
There is a story in Zen Buddhism: Two monks were on the road when they met a beautiful woman who was blocked by the river and begged them to cross the river. I begged the old monk to carry me across the river and go ashore. Monks and women parted ways. On the way, the young monk complained that the old monk didn't obey the rules, but he didn't agree, saying that it was good to help others. The little monk kept talking, and the old monk smiled and said, "I have put it down." Why haven't you put it down yet? "
As the saying goes, "decent people, decent people, and villains often share weal and woe." A gentleman acts aboveboard, does everything casually, dares to be responsible for the status quo, and completely "lets go" afterwards. On the contrary, "little people" are often obsessed with self-interest, suffering from loss, or sticking to the rules, timid, neither "taking" nor "letting go".
The world is complex, secular affairs, fame and fortune, lust and debauchery. Everything that should be put down is actually a burden. Many successful people either donate money to help the world, or take it lightly, both entering the world and leaving the world, both brave and willing to "let go"; While they are "letting go", they actually get unexpected happiness, which may be intangible, but it is meaningful and higher. It promotes personality and makes life perfect.
Only by "letting go" in life can we get real happiness! .
Not long ago, in the countryside, I saw two farmers' uncles with a plate of roasted meat, a plate of peanuts and a bottle of Jiangjin Laobaigan on the table. You and I raise our glasses one by one, and the simple vicissitudes are full of smiles, which makes people envy. They don't have too many selfish desires, and there are absolutely no words such as stocks, house prices, stars and official products in their minds. They only know that they work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
There are too many troubles and pains in one's life. Fame, status and beauty all tempt you. Seeing that others have houses, cars and lovers, some people will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals: those who betray themselves for glory, those who become famous, those who are corrupt and polluted, those who have the right to rent, and those who kill people and steal goods, all of which are spurned by the world! Only by "letting go" can we live freely and comfortably.
Ceng Zi said: "Zhi Zhi is determined, and when you are determined, you can be quiet, then you can be safe, then you can think, and then you can get it." In fact, "letting go" is another positive life.
There are advances and retreats in life, and there are gains and losses. Retreat and give up are not necessarily bad things. Have you ever seen farmers transplant rice seedlings? When there is no retreat, that is, when you succeed, there is a poem that can prove it: "When you plant seedlings all over the field, you will lower your head and see the water in the sky. It's better to be quiet, but take a step back and go further. "
Look at people who are confused by fame, moved by profit, or annoyed by emotion at all times and in all countries. They regard fame, wealth and affection as the highest pursuit of life, but they don't know that the greatest happiness in life lies in "letting go", retreating and giving up. Living alone is a kind of courage, and letting go is a kind of courage. They have experience in dealing with flowers and applause on the road of life, and it is not easy to treat it with a normal heart. It is wisdom to be unmoved in the face of major setbacks and disasters and bear it calmly. This is a very high level. It was a kind of detachment when I came. But how many people can achieve this detachment? It is precious to be able to afford it, and the true meaning of life is to let go.
