Mike was in a very bad mood after he lost his job. He found a priest in town. After listening to Mike's story, the priest took him into an old hut with a glass of water on the table. The priest smiled and said, "Look at this cup. It has been here for a long time. Dust falls in it almost every day, but it is still clear and transparent. Do you know why? "
Mike thought it over carefully and said, "There is dust under the cup." The priest nodded in agreement: "Young man, there are many things that bother you in life, just like dust falling into the water, but we can let him sink to the bottom, keep the water clear and transparent, and make ourselves feel better." If you keep oscillating, not much dust will make the whole glass of water turbid, which is even more annoying and affects people's judgment and mood. "
One summer, Mr. Wang traveled along the Yellow River. He filled a bottle of Yellow River water with a bottle. Turbid water was poured into the water bottle, which was very turbid. But after a while, he suddenly found that the water in the bottle began to clear, the turbid sediment settled down, and the water on it became clearer and clearer. All the sediment settled only one-fifth of the whole bottle, while the other four-fifths became clear river water. Through the bottle, he thought a lot and realized a lot: the happiness and pain of life are the same, so he should learn to precipitate life.
The reason why some people feel that life is painful, while others are happier is that people have different attitudes towards pain. In fact, when the liquid level in the bottle stabilized, everything became clear and bright again. If we can calm down and let the pain settle in our hearts, no matter whether the pain can disappear or not, let it occupy only a small space in our hearts, and most of the space will be filled with happiness. In the past, we were in a hurry and impetuous, shaking our lives desperately, without a moment of peace, making life muddy, and all the happiness was mixed with pain. Especially when people are upset, they are more likely to shake themselves crazily and shake up a bottle full of turbidity, so we always feel pain, worry and anxiety. This is not because pain is more than happiness, but because we let pain run like a wild horse in every corner of life in an inappropriate way.
To this end, we might as well learn to precipitate life, experience, mood and ourselves! Let life be quiet in sports, and let the mind be quiet for a while in impetuousness. Treat those annoying things as dust that must fall every day, let them settle down slowly and quietly, and embrace them with a broad mind. Our souls may become purer, our minds will become more open and our lives will be happier.
