Window and Mirror

The famous writer Lin Qingxuan said: When a person faces the outside world, what he needs is a window; When looking at yourself, what you need is a mirror. Only through the window can you see the brightness of the world, and through the mirror can you see your own stains. In fact, windows or mirrors are not important, what is important is your heart. If your heart is broad, the study will be big; if your heart is bright, the world will be bright.

I often envy the writing style of writers. What profound truths are revealed in people’s simple talk and slow speech; I also envy the writers’ mind. If I don’t have a pure heart, I’m afraid I will never be able to write There is no such brilliant writing.

In the face of a complicated world, what can we get if there are no windows? It might just be something within three feet. Only with windows can we have the wonderful world outside, see the colorful life, and get the clear sky.

People can understand the world; the most difficult thing to understand is oneself. The reason why we can never clearly understand ourselves is because it is difficult for us to leave our own perspective. If we can look at ourselves from another angle like a mirror, some of our shortcomings will be displayed in front of us without reservation. Therefore, it is difficult to have a mirror. Having a mirror is also important enough.

We hope to have everyone's cultivation, so that we can not only have the vision to see the world, but also master our own wisdom. In other words, we want to have windows as well as mirrors. Where to get it? I'm afraid the best way is to read.

Didn’t Gorky say - the more I read, the closer books bring me to the world, and the brighter and more meaningful life becomes to me. In fact, Gorky is telling us: through reading, he has his own windows and mirrors.

Reading is a kind of life, an upward life. Through reading, we can learn about history and wisdom. Five thousand years ago and twenty thousand miles across, everything at home and abroad, ancient and modern, can be displayed in front of us, allowing us to gain the beauty of the world. In constant reading, we can identify ourselves and return to ourselves; in constant reading, we can get to know others. Don't we say that "reading is a spiritual dialogue with the author"!

The thinner the book is, the wider and brighter the heart becomes. Reading cannot change the length of life, but it can expand the width of life! Material needs are limited, but the spiritual realm has no boundaries. And books are the golden house of life, the thousand cups of millet of life!

Reading can make our spirit no longer poor, our life no longer weak, and our life no longer lonely. Reading can make us become people with faith, sense of reason, and knowledge of honor and disgrace. If you want to have a meaningful and noble life, read a book, it can let us have our own windows and mirrors.
