At the seaside, the workers' horns resounded through the sky, purple smoke and yellow paper lingered around the fleet, and the waves beat against the solid hull. Urged by chanting on the altar and the sound of bells and drums, 3,000 boys and girls boarded a fairy-seeking ship ready to set sail, carrying the first emperor's desire for immortality and sailing for the legendary Penglai Fairy Island.
In 2 10 BC, Qin Shihuang died.
The first emperor's extravagant hope never came true, but he died early because he was too eager to visit the Taoist temple and ate a lot of Dan medicine containing heavy metals. However, in the dynasties that take history as a mirror, there was never a shortage of people who longed for immortality, immortality and early death. Perhaps they are responding to the old saying: "Man's greatest enemy is himself."
Desire and reality are always twins. Expansive desire and constrained reality always contradict each other in the same time and space, but they always lead to the ultimate unification. Undeniably, this is not only a life problem, but also an eternal philosophical problem.
I remember my mother always complained about her poor legs and feet, walking slower than others and doing less than others, but in the eyes of others, no one walked faster than her mother, and no one did much more than her mother. Gradually, my mother became more and more unhappy and simply complained, "I wish I could change my leg." I said, "Mom, it's not that you are in poor health, but that your heart is beating too fast." Some students once asked me such a question, what is the fastest thing in the world? I said, it must be light. Is there anything faster than light? The classmate shook his head, it was desire.
The Buddha said that "no desire leads to rigidity", and the words "gold" and "rigidity" in the Diamond Sutra are proof of this truth. Some people say that "King Kong" is an instrument in the hands of the Buddha, invincible, invincible and invincible. In fact, the Buddha is invisible and exists in the avenue. How can it be a physical thing? Therefore, "King Kong" is "great wisdom", invisible and intangible, but it is the most tenacious and sharp deity. As the saying goes, "the avenue is invisible" and "the big one is hidden in the city". The premise of great wisdom is that there is no desire and no demand. Without demand, you can watch all the flowers bloom and fall coldly, and your heart can quietly break everything in the world, transcend the limitations of time and space, reach out to the universe, and then jump out of reincarnation and realize great wisdom. Buddha said: "Color is empty, and empty is color", color is human desire, and empty is human desire. Desire and non-desire are unified under great wisdom, and the problem is no longer a problem. The simplest is the most difficult, and the most difficult is also the simplest.
We ordinary people still have such a big problem because we can't have the great wisdom to realize the unity of desire and reality. Once upon a time, we fantasized about flying to the Moon Palace to see Chang 'e. The pioneers, represented by thousands of families, gave their lives to realize this wish, only to find that we could not fly at all and had to rely on tools. Before that, our dreams had been wandering on the moon for thousands of years. Now, when we can escape from the embrace of Mother Earth at the speed of the first universe, our desire has spread to the vast universe, looking for the next goal aimlessly and hungrily, and even the distant stars hundreds of millions of light-years away have become the subject.
"The satisfaction of desire can only be exchanged for instant pleasure and eternal vanity." I don't know which expert once summed it up like this. When we look back on the past, this sentence really stung our fragile hearts, and our outlook on life and the world suddenly had the urge to subvert. When we say we have to, when we say that people can't help themselves in the Jianghu, when we say that there is no road in the world, and when we use these excuses to escape from ourselves, are the questions of desire and reality still as lamentable as Sisyphus's, pushing others and ourselves again and again?
Enough is enough, and then enough is enough.
Of course, stopping at perfection is the most desirable result for everyone. Farmers and fishermen in remote villages and workers and executives in prosperous cities are playing a harmonious rhythm for this fast-paced social development.
Foxconn's brothers and sisters, because they can't keep up with this harmonious rhythm, paid the price of their lives. Environment is an important factor to change a person, but we can't be trapped in the present environment and don't know how to return. Life is beautiful, and we can't choose suicide because of short-term setbacks and pains. Sunshine is always after rain. How can you feel the joy of harvest without hard work? It is most appropriate to use the words of Mr. Ma Yun, the founder of Alibaba,' Today is cruel, tomorrow will be even more cruel, and the day after tomorrow will be beautiful, but most people will die tomorrow night and won't see the sun the day after tomorrow' to reflect these people who can't stand the ups and downs of life. If you can't stand the blow, you will lose the beauty of the day after tomorrow.
Perhaps, the environment is just a mistake in life choice.
There are many people at the crossroads who make mistakes in their choices and miss opportunities. If this group really doesn't suit you, you can consider changing it. You don't have to wait until the boss thinks you are not qualified for the job before you choose to leave. You have to find someone who suits you in life, not someone who can make do with yourself. Even if the salary of this job is good, it goes against your principles and moral bottom line. You can say' no' generously, it's nothing.
In recent years, a famous person, Vae, has appeared in Anhui Province. He is called "Jay Chou's successor" and "Han Han in music", which shows his influence. Regardless of who he is, any search by any search engine is his massive credit.
Anyone who has read his resume knows that he is a graduate of Anhui Medical University. But he has embarked on the road of independent music creation. The collection of songs and records is made by one person, who is one of the few strange people among creative singers. He didn't sign any record company, but promoted it through official website, which sold well. He has a large number of fans around the world. This shows that he is successful and an example to everyone. Medicine and music are examples.
It is very important to choose the one that suits you; What doesn't suit you will only make you lose more.
Let's take marriage for example. Finding the person you love is a lifetime, not a so-so life. The road of life is not long, but short. You can't live on the spot, but you have to live with relish. Now David's blind date programs are all about men choosing women and women choosing men. It is shocking that foreigners have doubts about China people's love and values. Are all people in China so vulgar? If you ask others, you should first weigh your own weight. The right bond is tied to two people, not on the condition that one of them is out of line and violates the social atmosphere. In that case, one end of a suitable balance will be unbalanced and tilted. The ironic Xifeng, Fuguishan, is so deep that she can't even figure out her own weight. She boasted that only graduate students from Peking University and Tsinghua were suitable for her, and she didn't blame me for being thrown eggs at the show. Pebbles must be thrown. According to accurate estimates, there are six people in China who meet the requirements of Xifeng. I hope one of these six people can stay with Xifeng until the end of his life.
Onions are onions, and garlic can't be put anywhere. Everyone knows this simple common sense: wheat can't be grown in paddy fields and rice can't be grown in dry lands. If we insist on subjectively acting against objective laws, it will only backfire and end up in a mess.
So is life. You can't start until you can do what you can, but you can't stop doing what you can.
Look at the stars in a down-to-earth way
-Letter to Mozi
Dear Mozi:
This is a letter from a student two thousand years later. I don't know why I wrote to you, but because of you, I know a simple but profound truth: look up at the stars and be down to earth.
I remember when I was a child, I accidentally touched an antique thread-bound book from the bottom of the bookshelf. It was my first "encounter" with you. But this first time doesn't seem wonderful, because I can't see any emotion from your dark face, only the harshness and ruthlessness of "keep it or die"
At that time, I felt that you must not be a person with lofty ideals, and you must not be a person who will look up at the stars.
But after all, I didn't put down this book, but I was more and more attracted by it. "Everyone in the world loves each other, so the strong don't hold the weak, and the public doesn't rob the widowed"-every word in the book exudes a strange fragrance. So every time I turn a page, I seem to have returned to the complicated troubled times where everyone "lost each other".
In the middle, I saw the old man riding a green cow slowly out of the Great Wall, looking up at the sky and chanting "I will rest after my work, and the way of heaven is also"; I also saw the dashing gentleman talking about Kan Kan on the apricot altar and shouted, "What are you talking about? What does the sky say? " I saw the prosperity of a hundred schools of thought contending in Gong Xue, Xia Ji, Linzi, and I also saw the hermit on the Chu River who was intoxicated with "only communicating with the spirit of heaven and earth".
Finally, I caught a glimpse of you. You didn't choose to retire, and you didn't want to argue with other scholars all day. You just run around the land of China, appear in front of the world as a walker, and run around from the mire to solve the worries and sufferings of all the people. "Be the best in the world, its stone is still right", you are so down-to-earth, and your steps are so solid and unyielding.
I finally understand that it's not that I can't look up at the stars. Your star is "One World". It's just that compared with other philosophers who only look up at the starry sky and only make feeble slogans, you would rather practice your ideals in a down-to-earth way and make your starry sky more brilliant. So, you are always on the run. You once lobbied the king of Chu for thousands of miles to "reject the opportunity of Luban to attack the city" and save the Song people; You are running around again, "not attacking", "not being happy", "not robbing" and "not being Confucian" in order to put forward a real "salvation prescription" for this troubled times. You look up at the stars, but always keep your feet on the ground. Therefore, your footsteps never stop, and your footprints are all over China. And after this high-sounding lie still exists in the world for two thousand years, your steps are getting stronger and stronger.
It turns out that your eyes have been looking up at the stars; So your feet have never left the earth!
With dark hair, dark eyes and dark face, staring at the starry sky and stepping on the earth, you are like a black lightning, piercing the sky and lighting an eternal flame for the five mountains in Kyushu!
Humans need to look up at the starry sky, because without the shining of the starry sky, our road will not have a front. However, while looking up at the starry sky, don't forget to be down-to-earth and do something for others and society. After all, the beauty of the starry sky never belongs to the earth. Only by keeping your feet on the ground can you reflect the splendor of the starry sky with your own footprints.
Mozi, thank you for letting me understand this simple but profound truth, and for giving me the most lasting motivation in my life.
Four difficult problems
Hearing the knock at the door, I quickly opened the door. An old man with a basket on his back stood hunched in the corridor, almost touching the ground at both ends, like a bow with full strings, facing the ceiling of the corridor.
I leaned over and saw that it was uncle!
I was busy pulling Uncle Yao into the house and sat down. He refused to go in and said, "Rural people are poor at home and have nothing to send. They just slaughtered Nian pig and gave you a piece of meat. It's not big. Don't be disgusted. "
I have always been frank, so I said rudely, "Uncle Yao, you sent me meat for no reason. I'll take it. You should stay at my nephew's house for a few more days. "
"Also play, you are not I don't know, I a person, doesn't even have a janitor at home, although there is nothing to be afraid of stealing, but these live animals are still waiting for me to serve. Don't go back! "
I tried several times, but I couldn't keep him, so I had to let him go
I'll find him a car. He can walk back more than twenty miles, all of which are mountain roads.
He doesn't want me to find him a car anyway. He said, "If you find me a car, I will owe you another favor. I am old and unable to repay my kindness. Don't give me a problem. "
I suddenly froze. He didn't send me pork to repay the so-called love.
This spring, he went to town to buy fertilizer. He is in his sixties, carrying a bag of 80 kilograms of chemical fertilizer and crawling slowly on the ground like a snail. Seeing that he was really struggling, I found a jeep to take him home.
This time, he said absolutely, "You can find a car, even if you kill me!"
I had to look at his back and watch him slowly disappear into my sight.
Uncle Yao is actually not related to me. When I was young, I lived in a village with him. He is more than thirty years older than me, and I have always called him Grandpa Yao. More than twenty years have passed, and Grandpa Yao is getting old. For more than twenty years, I always go back to my hometown several times a year to visit my second brother. Every time I hurried back, I didn't even have time to take a look at my hometown. Naturally, I often don't see my uncle for many years. I heard from my second brother that the nursing home came to pick him up. He said that he was not free and insisted on living alone.
I went back to my hometown before the Spring Festival this year and told my second brother about Grandpa Yao. I said he gave me a piece of pork, and I would give him a New Year's greeting anyway. The second brother said, "Don't go, he said. He gave you pork for the Spring Festival in return for finding a car to send him. If you go again, won't it give him another problem? " Won't he always worry about how to repay you? "
My second brother's words confirmed my previous guess. However, I didn't listen to my second brother, and I don't want to owe anyone. I went to grandpa Yao's house with 200 yuan in my hand. What kind of home it is, a room, a dusty table with the same potholes in the middle. He sat alone at the table to eat. When he saw me, he was busy making tea with fire. In order not to delay Uncle Mo's dinner, I quickly explained my intention to him: "I wanted to buy you some new year's goods, but I couldn't buy them well, so I had to ask you to do it yourself." Uncle Yao didn't accept anything, but pushed for a long time. I finally let him compromise with an outlet.
Back to my second brother's house, I was having breakfast, and I was crying with my second brother and sister-in-law about Uncle Yao's situation and people. The second brother said, "I bet that Uncle Yao will come to repay you before it is finished next spring at the latest."
Just then, Uncle Yao came, but he didn't come into the house. The second brother took him to dinner, but refused, saying, "I just ate." Li Xiong saw it. " The second brother pulled him to drink. He likes smoking two ounces best in his life. He won't sit down for anything. The second brother knew that Grandpa Yao was afraid that it would be difficult to repay his debt after drinking his wine, so he stopped pulling.
Grandpa Yao said that he brought me some eggs, not many, and he will bring them to me when the chickens lay more eggs next year. Putting down the convenient bag, Uncle Yao left trembling.
I had to look at Grandpa Yao's back in a daze. Second brother said, let's go back to the house for dinner. It's not that you don't know that rural people are like this. No matter how poor you are, you don't want to owe others. If you owe a debt, you will sell a pot on your head, especially for the elderly, and you are even more afraid that you can't owe it. Uncle Yao will bring you eggs next year, so don't embarrass him any more.
I let out a cry and froze there. For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
Why not change your mind?
Superman is just an ordinary person. After taking off his robe, he will fall off his horse and become paralyzed. But actor Christopher? Reeve knows how to turn around in the dark period of depression. "This' no traffic' sign is not to stop you, but to remind you that it is time to turn."
Some things can't be accomplished with passion and perseverance, just like the brothers Grimm can never find out the relationship between those legends and the history of human development, because they are fairy tales suitable for children to read. At this time, let your mind turn a corner and maybe you can (see) the other side of success. The grass is rich and the water is beautiful, and the wind is fine and the willows are oblique.
Difficulties followed, and nothing was achieved. Why don't you turn your head?
The road ahead is full of thorns and the stones are rough and sharp. Why do you want to be confined to tradition and refuse to look back? You can't know whether you are ehrlich, who was lucky enough to succeed in the 666th experiment, or priestley, who tried more than 500 times but had little effect. Engels bluntly said in Dialectics of Nature that Soller "didn't find the truth when the truth hit the tip of his nose", perhaps because the latter, like the brothers Grimm, was unwilling to give in to the original hypothesis, turned his mind around and finally handed over the title of "discoverer of chlorine". Life is extremely long and short, and time will not allow you to be the Xue Xisi who pushed the boulder to the top of the mountain and rolled back to the bottom again and again in vain. Let your mind turn a corner, useless work will only reduce the output power of life machinery.
You are in prison, and you are very compassionate. Why don't you change your mind?
When everyone is saying, "I hope we can't hang a long rope in the western world, it's a day to fly west", MacArthur's sentence, "Fortunately, we will only lose one life", is like a wooden array, awakening the world. When the whole world is sighing that "the wind has stopped the dust and the fragrant flowers have run out" and complaining that "the lonely window is cold and rainy", some people say in a clear voice that "I would like to believe that there will be spring in the coming year" and "the spring scenery will return to people twice next year", just like the bell in the clear night. Things often have a bright side, and life is too short to be full of unhappiness. Let the mind turn a corner, find beauty in disappearance and gain in loss.
So when the catkins are white and dancing up and down, you might as well let go of the obsession that "the grass and trees know the worries, and the young flowers are bald and willow", and let your mind turn a corner and believe that "the young flowers have no roots, and the good wind frequency (by) helps me to get to Qingyun".
Therefore, when fame and fortune lock the people around you, you might as well put down your firm belief that "knowing what you can't do" and let your mind turn a corner. Zhuang Zhou's "knowing what you can't do is also a kind of frankness and cuteness of human nature, and it is an open-minded and heroic spirit."
You know, when the Golden Globe Award, the Best Director Award and the world bestseller list champion are in your arms, Christopher Superman? Reeve, the luckiest thing (no longer an actor's) is that he changed his mind after that unfortunate incident.
Why don't you turn your mind around?
comment
What do you mean, "turn a corner"? How to "turn a corner"? Why "turn a corner"? Argumentative writing pays attention to discussion and speculation, and this paper is better in this respect.
This article is not written according to the material, but retells the story in the second paragraph with Brothers Grimm as an example. This also reflects the author's wisdom and wisdom to avoid entering the routine. Two sub-arguments: "One difficulty after another, nothing can be achieved. Why don't you turn your head? " "I am depressed and imprisoned, and I sympathize with others. Why not let my brain turn a corner? " Each section is divided into separate sections, which are neat, eye-catching and summarized.
Quotations and examples should be natural and appropriate. In terms of expression, the narrative and long sentences are used to enhance the appeal and persuasiveness.
I live poetically with truth, goodness and beauty.
When a thick stack of "Grimm's Fairy Tales" is printed in type and becomes a treasure in children's hands, when loving parents recite poetic legends for babies, when kind princesses in fairy tales add color to children's colorful dreams ... The true meaning of these legends is revealed in silence, which is related to the history of human development that the Brothers Grimm are struggling to pursue. That is the eternal blood of the people-truth, goodness and beauty.
These are three simple words, but they are always easily overlooked by us. The brothers Grimm delved into the legendary characters, hoping to find the hidden truth and laws, but ignored the truth, goodness and beauty that even the children next door could sum up.
We are always like this, and the practical value standard has become the nose ring of modern people. I don't know, technology and rhetoric must be stitched together with beauty, goodness and sincerity. Pragmatism, which does not believe in truth, goodness and beauty, is just a quiet old royal costume with buttons dripping down and scattered all over the floor. Yes, we must have hard-working pragmatism to guide us, but as human beings, we can't lack the guidance of faith.
Holderlin once said that despite the hardships, people still have to live poetically in this land. If we just blindly pursue practical achievements, then even with abundant spikes and sweet meals, we are still just creatures crawling on the ground. If so, I also want to praise the humble behavior and rich achievements of human beings, but I am sad that my soul is stranded. Have you ever heard that the soul is a stranger on earth? It is beauty that makes people walk upright on their knees and proudly challenge the scorching sun! It is sincerity, which makes people sprout a strong bond called love, which makes people fragrant! It is kindness that makes these strangers on the earth go deep into the land, but they never grow up and have no side branches! Heidegger said that spirit is the madness of rushing to the sky and chasing God. It is truth, goodness and beauty that create infinite possibilities for people! Countless times of rebirth and reconstruction of people's inner life are all about beauty as bright fireworks, goodness as a ferry boat, and truth as a pole in one's hand.
When we read Grimm's fairy tales, or ocean classics and Aesop's fables, we can see that the street lamps that guide the progress of human history are all the light of human nature. Unswerving love, the shocking mother-child bond between Xinghan and Xinghan, or the friendship that promises 1,000 yuan are all based on the incomparable truth, goodness and beauty of human nature, without the complexity of formulas and legal education affairs. They really exist, paving the way for mankind.
The development of pragmatism confuses our vision, and more and more people admire the words and deeds as cold as machine parts. We ignore beauty, lose truth and abandon goodness. It seems that the only child has not forgotten his original heart like Xia.
No, I will still put my roots deep in the ground and raise them to the sun. I want to be as strong as a tree trunk, and kindness is the dew of my branches. I will cut the realistic blame into green leaves and stick them on my forehead. It's really rainy, and beauty is the blue sky above me.
7 by accident? Inevitably!
Occasionally, a grain of sand enters the clam, and without the sharpening of the clam, it will not become a pearl that moistens Saiyu; A tree carelessly left in the gap, without rock-like ambition, can't grow into a rainbow-like welcoming pine on Huangshan Mountain!
Just as many people only know that the publication of Grimm's fairy tales is accidental, they don't know that the Grimm brothers have made efforts and painstaking efforts!
There is no accidental success, and there is no will to be "inevitable"; There is no accidental success, and it has never been polluted by "inevitable" sweat!
Do you know that?/You know what? Wong Kar-wai, a famous director in China, was an accident in his career. When he was young, he worked as a screenwriter in a film company. He was depressed, as if it had been a year. Coincidentally, there was no director for the small-budget film, and his self-recommendation made a much-told story. However, if he does not have full talent and excellent film technology, how can such "accidental recommendation" achieve his future glory? Behind the accident is inevitability, how can we see the bitterness of his years of studying film art!
You know, molson, who became famous for "Three Cups of Tea", seems to have accidentally become a mortal! Molson, whose career was depressed and her family was not harmonious, just happened to go to the Middle East. This farewell to depression planted his love in the land of hating Americans! "Three Cups of Tea" records in detail the contribution of Americans to the backward world in the Middle East. The seemingly accidental opportunity is still an inevitable exposition. If molson has no sympathy and love for other nationalities, how can he be willing to let love shine in other places!
Many people only say that Van Gogh's success was accidental, but they didn't see the young man who embraced the sunshine and devoted himself all day in Alpine town. Everyone only knows that Prince of gymnastics's success in Tong Fei was due to the guidance of a famous teacher, but he didn't know that when he was young, he kept doing somersaults in front of the teacher in order to see the teacher. People only know that Jay Chou was unexpectedly promoted and gradually became the king of Chinese songs, but forget that he wrote songs day and night and accumulated his dreams into a thick stack of lyrics. ...
There is always a kind of success that is misunderstood as "accident", but there is always "inevitable" bitterness behind it!
No success depends only on "accident", and there must be "inevitable" blood and sweat on the road to success!
There is no success that only favors "opportunity", and success is often paved with bricks of hard work!
Accidental success?
Please draw it with inevitable will!
