Knowing and forgetting right and wrong is the comfort of the heart

Zhuangzi: Knowing and forgetting right and wrong is the comfort of the heart

The golden sentence that impressed Lao He the most in 2021 is Zhuangzi’s: Knowing and forgetting right and wrong is the comfort of the heart.

Of course, Lao He feels that "knowing right from wrong" does not mean being ignorant of right and wrong, but rather not being self-righteous and not always thinking about your own achievements or helping others. At the same time, don't always think about what others have done. ’s fault or not. Only by striving to "know right from wrong" can one's heart gradually reach a state or state of peace, tranquility and joy.

"Knowing and forgetting right and wrong, the heart is at ease" comes from this passage in "Zhuangzi Dasheng" "Forgetting the feet is the suitability of walking; forgetting the things is the suitability of the belt; knowing and forgetting right and wrong, the heart It’s appropriate.”

The explanation that Baidu knows is: if you forget the existence of your feet, it means that the shoes fit well on your feet; if you forget the existence of your waist, it means that the belt on your body is very comfortable; once a person forgets It means that your heart has adapted to the external environment and has become calm and calm.

In other words, if you forget about your legs, any kind of shoes will be suitable; if you forget about your waist, any kind of belt will be suitable; if you forget about the dispute between right and wrong, you will feel comfortable and peaceful in your heart.

There is no good or bad environment, it is only created by the mind.

Some netizens lamented: Life is easy, work is easy, but life is not easy.

Life is like a long river, and there will inevitably be twists and turns in it.

And your state of mind is the best Feng Shui in your life.

01

Forgetfulness is a disease, and forgetfulness is a state.

Lin Qingxuan said that nine times out of ten life will be unsatisfactory, but you can always think about it.

A young man once asked Master Wuji for advice.

He said: "Master, my shoes are broken and my hands are injured along the way. Why can't I still find the sunshine in my heart?"

The master asked: "Your What’s in the big package?”

The young man replied: “It contains the pain every time I fall, every time I cry after being injured, and every time I feel lonely.”

After hearing this, the master led the young man across the river by boat. After landing, the master said: "You can carry the boat and walk."

The young man was puzzled, "How can you carry such a big boat? Gotta move."

The master smiled.

"Yes, child, you can't carry it. The boat is like a painful burden for you. After crossing the river, we have to put down the boat and hurry up. Otherwise, it will make it difficult for you to move."

The same is true for life.

Some people remember grudges, so they live in hatred;

Some people remember leaving, so they live in sadness;

Some people remember Because of failure, I live in despair.

Everyone will experience many setbacks. If you worry about every unsatisfactory situation, your heart will be overwhelmed and the years will be dull and bleak.

"Zhuangzi Dasheng" said: "Knowing and forgetting right and wrong is the comfort of the heart."

When a person lives his whole life, what he cultivates is his heart. Only when he lets go of his heart can he live happily.

A happy loser is another winner in himself.

When I was a child, I fell down. Some people fell on the ground and cried, while others sat on the ground and played.

When he grows up, the crying child will only get angry and complain when encountering problems.

But the kid who was playing was able to find another way and move on.

This is the mentality. To reverse the situation, it often starts with changing the mentality.

There is a line in the movie "Slaying the Wolf": "When a person's mentality begins to change, his perspective can't help but change."

During the gold rush period in the United States, many people People traveled thousands of miles to come to the west.

As the number of people increases, the gold mines are running out, and the dream of gold mining is about to come true.

When everyone was immersed in the pain and doubts of gold mining, one person calmed down and began to think.

He found that the gold miners were hungry and lacked water, so he used the money he had to bring food and water and made his first pot of gold.

He also saw that the workers were not wearing enough clothes to cover their bodies because of gold mining, and he thought that using the materials of tents and sleeping bags to make clothes would definitely be more wear-resistant.

So he exchanged the first pot of gold for materials to make clothes, which were quickly sold out and he also created a brand.

This man was the later cowboy king, Levi's.

The same thing may seem like a problem to some people, but from another perspective, they may see an opportunity.

Su Shi said: "Viewed from the side, it looks like a ridge or a peak, with different heights from near to far."

Observing mountains is to observe life. Su Shi had many twists and turns in his life, but he lived an unprecedented life. realm.

Qian Zhongshu said: "If you look at the world from a different angle, you will gain different things, and the world will appear in front of you in another way."

You see the world from a sad perspective If you look at the world, the world is sad; if you look at life with joy, your life will suddenly become brighter.

03

Happiness is not eternal, and neither is pain.

There is a motto: "The worst and the best, everything will pass."

In the face of endless time, whether it is glorious or bleak, whether it is joy or pain, All will eventually be taken away by time.

Don’t get carried away when you are happy, and don’t give up easily when you are in pain.

Whether you gain or lose, it is only temporary.

There is a folk story that says don’t look back once the earthen jar is broken.

It is said that a man was walking in front, and suddenly the earthen jar he was carrying fell to the ground and broke into pieces. He continued walking without looking back.

The people behind asked him why you didn’t look at things when they were broken.

The man said: "If it is broken, it is broken. It is a fait accompli. If I regret something that cannot be changed, it will not only not help, but will also delay my progress."

In life, every unsatisfactory situation is like that broken earthen jar. Instead of being sad in secret, it is better to move forward with your head held high.

No matter what choice you make in life, you will always make the wrong choice, as long as you keep going, you will make the right choice.

I don’t own it myself, but I can happily appreciate what others have.

What is optimism?

Buddhists say that a heart without jealousy is optimistic.

Writer Zhang Lijun once saw a cartoon by Jimmy. A little girl was walking by the river with a duck, and there was a line of words underneath.

"Lulu can't swim or fly, and neither can her duck. Lulu and her duckling go to the pond every day to watch how others swim and fly..."

The back suddenly disappeared.

She wondered if the little girl and the duck had learned to swim and fly.

Until one day when she saw the second half of the comic, the ending was unforgettable to her.

There is only one simple line on it - life is still very happy!

Yes, why do you have to have it yourself to be happy? Such a life is too narrow.

Many times, applauding others is a great wisdom in itself.

As the old saying goes, wise men build bridges and fools build walls.

When you appreciate other people’s gains, you are building bridges and paving the way for yourself;

When you are jealous of other people’s gains, you are building walls and digging graves for yourself. .

There are always people who don’t understand this seemingly simple truth.

In life, when you see someone else doing well in an exam, you say he or she cheated; when you see someone else getting promoted, you say they used the back door; when you see someone else’s wife is beautiful, you say they are relying on some bad money.

Such people will never get over the shadow of failure and will only pity themselves.

Mr. Feng Zikai said: "If you love, you will be lovely everywhere in life. If you hate, you will be hateful everywhere in life. The world did not choose you, but you chose this world."

The way the world looks depends on how you look at it.

Living for one day is a blessing and should be cherished.

Writer Nosaka Akiru said: "Cherish today, cherish now, who knows which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident."

In just 22 words, the meaning of life is revealed. Fragile.

In this world, except life and death, everything is a trivial matter.

One time, Bai Yansong went to the hospital to visit the painter Huang Yongyu. When he went in, he was shocked to find that the sturdy old man had become skin and bones.

Just when he didn’t know what to say, Huang Yongyu spoke first:

“Hospital surgery is also beneficial. You see, I lost dozens of kilograms, and now I have peace of mind. ."

This sentence made Bai Yansong amused, and he laughed.

What does it mean to live a transparent life? Although he was seriously ill, Huang Yongyu saw it very openly. As long as a person is alive, why is it not worth celebrating?

Too many people nowadays are kidnapped by tedious and mundane things and cannot feel the meaning of life.

There is a proverb among the people: "The reason why people are miserable is that they pursue the wrong things."

Many people pursue a luxurious life. Even if they are rich, they still spend all day working on a house. Car and money worries.

Even though life is full of hardships, there is only three points of sweetness in living.

When you complain that your fate is unfair, think about how lucky you are to still have a healthy body.

When you are worried that life is not easy, think about how you can still breathe freely, which is happiness.

Life is an extremely accidental miracle, and it is also a very fragile existence.

Don’t push yourself too hard, life is not easy anymore.

Life is like a journey against the odds, you and I are both on the same journey.

Whether it is family, workplace, life, or dreams, everything goes well but also goes against it.

When you encounter something unhappy, just change your perspective, change your thinking, and change your way of living.

There is no good or bad environment, it is only created by the mind.
