I was particularly curious and asked, "What were you looking at just now? Look so absorbed? "
He said with a little regret, "Look at the cake! You know, I have no resistance to cakes. "
I said nervously, "You can't think about it. If you think about it, try your best to eat it, which is not good for your stomach. "
? My husband's stomach has never been very good. Recently, he was found to have Helicobacter pylori, was taking sterilization and conditioning drugs, and had to avoid eating, which was undoubtedly a test for him as a foodie.
He said: "Don't worry, I'm not eating, I just want to meet my spiritual needs!" " "
I was even more surprised: "Eating cakes is a spiritual need, not a material need?"
"Yes, the human body actually doesn't need much material. People like to eat delicious food. It is not accurate to say that it is satisfying appetite, because appetite is only full, so the pursuit of food is a spiritual pursuit. "
This is a fairly new statement. But if you look closely, there seems to be some truth.
Nowadays, many people pay more attention to material pursuit, and fewer and fewer people can calm down and read books, ask themselves questions and improve their spiritual realm. But human life needs not only material support, but also spiritual nourishment. Poverty in the spiritual world makes many people suffer, and people also blame this pain on the lack of material things. Meditation, reducing desire, * * * love, sympathy, friendliness, concern, ..., seemingly simple but difficult to achieve, without these spiritual nourishment, people can easily fall into mania, emptiness, depravity, loneliness and despair.
To this end, people began to find ways to tap the nutrients needed for spiritual life from relatively easy substances. Let the sea eat and drink in the name of food. All kinds of food and videos are in full swing and in a bad mood. Watching eating and broadcasting, eating delicious food, using a new online word to express it is "very cured." Girls also make themselves beautiful by buying all kinds of clothes, cosmetics, bags, shoes and jewelry. , so as to enhance their confidence and adjust their emotions. In the end, there will always be a piece of clothes missing from the wardrobe. Facing piles of unopened clothes, there are all kinds of "breaks". Men, on the other hand, try their best to pursue fame and gain profits, win the RV, win the recognition of society, win the favor of beautiful women, and make those men who have no resources and don't work hard enough breathless.
? Even this trend has begun to "spread" to future generations. How many parents have turned their attention to the next generation after failing in the competition in the adult world, and started a new competition in the children's world with the slogan "Children can't lose at the starting line", so children lost themselves and felt that they were all living for their parents, and they became the so-called dragons and phoenixes, but they couldn't bear it, either depressed, jumping down or.
What about excessive material pursuit? How many people suffer from chronic diseases because of eating for a long time; How many people died painfully in the ICU of the hospital; How many people have a big emotional outburst because of a little thing, and their wives and children are separated and ruined. What does it have to do with what people once fought for with their lives after death? We came to this world only as an experience. We never had all the materials, just borrowed them. Why should we attach ourselves to them with our lives?
There is no right or wrong in life, only cause and effect. What kind of career to choose and what kind of fruit to bear. Excessive material pursuit can temporarily please the body and mind, but the spiritual nourishment of this material transformation is temporary, even distorted, and it is difficult to maintain the needs of the soul. What really nourishes the soul is the touch, sympathy, love, respect and responsibility you have felt for a long time.
A bright tomorrow means not only the continuous enrichment of materials. For individuals, the body will get worse and worse, and aging can't be stopped. No matter how much material there is, it is difficult to enjoy and avoid pain. A better tomorrow has a deeper meaning, which is to create a powerful spiritual world, nourish one's own life, nourish future generations, and let people calmly face the impermanence of life.
