Reject temptation
Walking in this colorful world, too many colors and splendor come to mind, which makes people feel hesitant. Standing in the center of the times, I want to say: reject the temptation and restore the truth to your life.
Rejecting temptation often sublimates a brilliant soul. The officialdom is huge, the position of power is high, you are in a high official position, you enjoy generous salary, food and clothing, you don’t have to worry about anything anymore, and if you achieve enlightenment, you will benefit your descendants. However, Lin Hejing rejected the temptation of power and status, and returned to seclusion with his plum blossom wife He Zi, tasting a plum fruit, cooking a cup of fragrant tea, listening to the crane's cry, and saying "no need". Such a soul that refused the temptation sang the eternal song of "Sparse shadows slanting across the clear water, and the faint fragrance floats in the moonlit dusk", leaving a majestic character on the scroll of history and establishing a lasting legacy in the hearts of future generations. An immortal monument to a noble personality.
Rejecting temptation can burn out the national totem. It was an era when all the ink was lost, and dark clouds shrouded people's souls. But Lu Xun used his sharp eyes to cool down the viciousness of people, and used his pen as a gun to defend the dignity of a nation. He discards high-paying pseudo-jobs like a waste; he despises power, position and wealth as dust; he despises flattery as an enemy. He refused the temptation and immersed himself in writing. With a voice that refused the temptation, he issued the most alert cry in the chaos; with a heart that refused the temptation, he guided tens of millions of people out of their hesitation; with a pen that refused the temptation, he firmly Three immortal characters of "national soul" are engraved on it!
On the contrary, people who find it difficult to resist temptation often make themselves a cup of poisonous wine. In his early years, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was diligent in state affairs and created the "Kaiyuan Prosperous Age" with a virtuous heart. However, a generation of wise kings could not refuse the sensuality that comes with honor, could not refuse the temptation of beauty, and smiled for the beauty, "From now on, the king will not come to court early", but in the end he ended up "E-mei died in front of the horse, and the king hid his face and could not save her". end. A generation of Emperor Ming, because he failed to resist the temptation of beauty, had to watch the decline of the powerful Tang Dynasty, and became the object of lamentation and deplorement by future generations.
Rejecting temptation is actually choosing a life, which may be dull and ordinary, but it can live the greatness of the soul; indulging in temptation is also choosing a life, which may be dazzling and luxurious, but it loses nobility. Only humility remains. But now, when the wave of material desires is coming, and when all kinds of temptations are coming one after another, we might as well learn from Lin Bu, learn from Lu Xun, and refuse with an innocent heart that is passionate about life. Temptation, but also life a reality.
