"If you don't mind your own business, this is a good time on earth." What is this poem about?

When I was young, I was really in a state of "teenagers don't know what it's like to worry". I go to school and go out to play with my friends every day, and there are coke things every day, whether it's catching small fish in the field or picking cucumbers in the field, or getting together to jump rubber bands and hit sandbags, playing tricks on classmates and chatting about girls and boys' worries. There is really nothing to worry about in life, so that you can't finish your homework, be scolded by your teacher, or quarrel with your friends.

However, when I grow up, I find that life is not as simple and happy as when I was a child. Whether it is work, life, finding a partner or dealing with conflicts with family members, these have brought great pressure. At first, children will become adults. In the past, when they encountered difficulties, their parents would help them solve them when they cried. Now, even if they cried one second ago, they still have to do things well the next.

Why is life as usual, but it makes people feel very tired? This is all because we have lost our normal minds. Obviously, simple things are complicated, so we have a lot of panic in our hearts, so we lose our freedom. Have no time to read this Zen poem. "If you don't mind your own business, this is a good time on earth." You will feel different in your heart.

"Ode to the common mind, that is, the Tao". No door is open.

There are flowers in spring, moons in autumn, cool breeze in summer and snow in winter.

If you don't mind your own business, this is a good time on earth.

This poem means that there are flowers in spring, bright moon in autumn, cool breeze in summer and snowflakes flying in winter, and different beautiful scenery can be enjoyed in four seasons. If you don't mind your own business, then every day is a wonderful time on earth.

The meaning of this Zen poem is simple. In fact, there are many beautiful scenery in life, just because we are bound by business and have no way to perceive and experience it. There is only one life in the world, so we can keep a "normal heart" in everything, and our life will be much simpler and happier.

Ancient poets often felt that they were ill-timed and depressed. If they still feel this way after their efforts, it is really understandable, and sometimes they are just a little unlucky. But if you are complaining that you can't do it well and that you can't do it successfully before you start working hard, then this is your own problem. Because no matter whether you choose to persist or give up, there is no reason to complain.

He Laoshi once said a very philosophical sentence, "If you want to get you, you must learn to pay and insist on paying;" If you really find it difficult, then you should give up. If you give up, don't complain. Life is like this, the world is balanced, and everyone decides what his life is like through his own efforts. "

This is the truth of many things you think about carefully. If you want something, you must try to achieve it yourself. Although not all efforts will have results, there will be no results without efforts. People who give up in the process of doing things do not complain about your qualifications, because they give up on their own initiative.

So this also tells us the truth in Zen poetry, "keep a normal heart." In the face of dreams and gains and losses, we must work hard to realize our dreams. If you don't want to work hard, don't complain why others get it and you don't. This kind of failure needs to be accepted and borne by yourself.

Giving up is sometimes not a bad thing, because you decided to give up after trying, so it won't be such a pity, because you really can't do it. This is true whether you do what you like or who you like. Everyone will regret not trying, but if you try and still can't succeed, you won't regret it. There is nothing absurd about youth, but there is nothing wrong with willfulness.

But what needs to be emphasized is that "giving up" here is giving up after trying, giving up after thinking twice, and giving up after making sure that you won't regret it. If you don't give up after struggle and hard work, you won't be in this ranks.

Memory dream theory

After giving up a thing, a place and a person, after a short period of depression, we need to find a new direction and goal in life. In the face of love and family, if you really have the persistence of "once the sea was difficult for water, amber forever", then you can live alone; If you give up a job that you really can't do well and can't do, then find a job that meets the current situation and needs to be done; If you really intend to leave a place, then go decisively. If you don't go, you don't know whether you really like it here or you really want to come back. There will be a lot of helplessness in life, but only by "keeping a normal mind", grasping and cherishing what you want and letting go of what you can't get, will you have the freedom of "not worrying about your heart is a good time on earth".
