The rest of your life is too short, don’t let regrets last too long

Today, the crash of China Eastern Airlines mu5735 has killed all people on board. Life seems very long, but life is impermanent. For many things, we always feel that the future is long, but when impermanence comes and life suddenly comes to an end, we are shocked to realize that there is too much left behind. It’s too late to be filial to your parents, too late to spend more time with your children, too late to fulfill your promises to your family, and too late to fulfill your dreams. When facing the last moment of life. Who else do you want to say thank you to? Or do you want to say I love you to someone? Or maybe you just want a little more time to quietly gather with the person you love the most. Knowing how to cherish is not an innate ability. In the process of growing up, there are always unexpected changes that make people sigh: sometimes, if you don't have a wish to fulfill it quickly, it will be too late in the blink of an eye. Many times, we think that the future is long.

What is real possession? As soon as a thought arises, and you work hard to complete it at the same time, that moment can be regarded as real possession. Mo Yan once shared the story of one of his classmates: This classmate’s wife passed away not long ago. When talking to Mo Yan, he said that when he was sorting out his wife’s things, he found a silk scarf that was from when they were traveling. , bought in a famous brand store. It was an elegant and beautiful brand-name scarf, with a high price tag still hanging on it. His wife had been reluctant to use it. She wanted to wait for a special day before using it. At this point, the classmate stopped and Mo Yan didn't answer. After a while, the classmate said: "Never save good things for special days. Every day of your life is a special day." Farewell If you want to save the best for last, maybe that will be a lifelong miss. This spring is too gloomy and cold: the Russia-Ukraine war, repeated epidemics, and the China Eastern Airlines incident. Natural disasters and man-made disasters are inevitable. You really need to cherish the people in front of you, eat more with your parents, have heart-to-heart conversations with friends, and take walks with your loved ones. While the flowers are blooming and people are still there, while there is light in your eyes, love in your heart, and what you want to do, do it as soon as possible; if you have someone you want to love, love as soon as possible. Although life is hard, at least it is still possible; the rest of life is too short, don’t save the best for last.

The future is not long, go ahead and cherish it...
