How can life be satisfactory? Everything is not satisfactory. What's the next sentence?

How can life be more satisfying? Everything is not satisfactory. A couplet from Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, the author of which is not elegant now (the author is unknown).

This poem means that life is not 100% complete, and there will always be endless regrets. Only by seeking "half satisfaction" in everything, less blindness and more self-awakening, can we face life more calmly.

This kind of "semi-contented" life and carefree mentality is called "the most perfect life ideal discovered by China people" by Mr. Lin Yutang.

A poem

A petal of heart fragrance and a petal of lotus, a flood of autumn water and a flood of waves.

A pool of green leaves and a pool of trees, the scenery is all the way to the pavilion.

A flower, a willow, a fish, a bird flying in the sunset.

One mountain, one water, one temple, one forest, one yellow leaf and one monk return.

Sometimes simplicity is also a beauty. Simple life, simple work, simple life. If the heart is simple, then life is simple.

Live a simple life, sit in the sun with three or five friends, make a pot of green tea, savor it, and make a joke about the past 3,000 things.

Ordinary life is the most reassuring; A life of understanding; The warmest; Only a simple life can last the longest.

Half-word poem

Half water, half mountain and half bamboo forest, half vulgar, half elegant and half red dust.

Half teacher, half friend, half confidant, half admiration, half respect and half dedication.

Half awake, half confused, half frank, half stupid and half drunk.

Half rainbow, half dew, half rain, half bright, half curved and half moon.

You can't have your cake and eat it. Life is an unsolved multiple-choice question. It's never perfect, and it's not all regret.

Life is half happy and half sad, life is half bright and half dark, and years are half happy and half sad.

No matter what you do to people or things, you can't ask for everything. You should ask for everything. Only when you are half satisfied can you be content.

Suffering, self-release; Have fun, have fun. The road of life, mixed with sorrow and joy, is neither arrogant nor impetuous, and the experience is the complete life.
