I have always believed that every life has a length, a beginning and an end, just like a straight line.
But a straight line also has a length, and its length is also the length of life. When I think about it, I feel a fear of death. As long as it is a straight line, it contains a starting point and an end point, and that end point is the last moment we wait for-the end of life-death.
The reason is too simple to be cruel. From the moment we were born, we were doomed to the end of a life. As the river of life flows, we gradually feel it. It is like a towering mountain, or an endless desert, which has been calling us. How many historical giants are not reconciled to its call, they are pursuing the eternity of life.
But the giant of history finally went, went to the mountain peak and went to the depths of the desert. When Qin Shihuang was far away, I even heard the life cry of an emperor through the ages; When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty left, I vaguely saw the back of an old man and his tearful eyes. They don't want to leave like this. Everyone wants to create more glory in a limited life.
Although they can't make life eternal, history remembers them.
When I wrote the words with my heart, I thought of Qin Shihuang, who was called a tyrant, and realized his painstaking efforts to unify the words; When I saw the prosperity of China culture, I thought of Emperor Hanwu as a martial artist.
Although their lives have long since ended, I have seen their eternal glory in my eyes.
Only recently have I discovered that there is actually another way of life. It is like a curve, a closed curve, just like a number-zero. In the digital world, zero means nothing, which also confirms the logic that life has nothing from birth to death.
Many people live like this. Their world is just a closed curve, and the space inside the curve is their world. They weave one dream after another in their own world.
They don't want to go on the stage of history, and their own space is enough for them to spend their lives. They are like lotus flowers on a snowy mountain: they grow by themselves, bloom by themselves, and finally fade quietly. For them, the world is just the world outside the world, just like the vast universe.
This life, in their own world, is also eternal.
Two kinds of life, two completely different lifestyles, have you chosen your own life?
4. Taste life and smile at the wind and rain.
Everyone's life length is certain. Even though many external factors are beyond our control, everyone's life trajectory is in their own hands. Trajectory can be divided into straight lines and curves, and life can be divided into prosperity and adversity.
People who live a rich life are happy. It is like a fast lane, which will take us to our goal quickly. In ancient times, the Su brothers were admitted to the Scholar's Academy at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and now there are those favored children who entered Peking University Tsinghua at an early age. Who doesn't want his life to be as broad and flat as the roads in ancient Rome? However, life is never perfect. Adversity will be followed by prosperity and people will be caught off guard. After the Wutai Poetry Case, the Su brothers were exiled to Lingnan, which was regarded as a wild place by the Central Plains people. The endless news of students' crimes in Peking University and Tsinghua began to make the public have a further understanding of genius.
In the face of prosperity, people danced and forgot a famous saying of Laozi; In the face of adversity, some people "grab the land with their heads", some people are devastated, and some people take the initiative to end their lives. However, there are always some wise men who, with endless patience and their own wisdom, insist on walking on endless curved paths. Although there is no way for mountains and rivers to be suspicious, there is another village, but they firmly believe that turning the next corner is another village.
Just like Zhou Peiyuan and Wang Dicheng. Their acquaintance is full of romance, and their married life is extremely sweet. However, life is not always poetic. The birth of two daughters in succession brought hardship and fatigue, and Wang Dicheng was suddenly infected with tuberculosis, which was a heavy blow to this family. During Wang Dicheng's one-year convalescence in Xiangshan, Zhou Peiyuan provoked the dual responsibility of being a parent and rode more than 50 miles to visit the hospital every weekend.
After his wife recovered from illness, the Japanese invaders followed, and the whole family could not move to Kunming with the three universities that moved south. The difference in conditions during the Anti-Japanese War can be imagined, but the couple struggled with the hardships of life in a romantic way: Wang Dicheng often poured a bowl of hot water to keep Zhou Peiyuan warm at night, while Zhou Peiyuan bought a good horse as a traveling mount, which attracted the admiration of people around him and called him "General Zhou".
Until their 90 s, they still go out for an outing every spring, and their feelings are so good that even their daughters are "jealous." Zhou Peiyuan even "confessed" to Wang Dicheng every morning. Because they are deaf in both ears at the age of 50, "confession" is well known.
Their happiness comes from their love for each other and their love for life. With this kind of power, even if the mountains have no edges, heaven and earth are in harmony, and the sea is a mulberry field, you can find happiness in it and become a force to support yourself.
Straight lines and curves together constitute the trajectory of life, and no one is an exception. But if you can listen carefully to the cock crow, raise your head and look straight at the suffering proudly in stormy weather, the suffering will no longer be terrible and cold, but will become the most calm smile from the bottom of your heart when you look back on your life.
Article 1: the famous saying of persistence: talent is long-term persistence.
Success is a journey, not a destination, so as long as everything
