Read the "mountain moon" just understand: why some people, again hard also not good this life

Have you ever been in a situation where you don't know what to do, you waste your time, you don't know what to do, you don't know what to do?

Or, today and tomorrow, still stuck in the mire of pain and self - pulling?

I believe this is not an individual case, but many people's emotional resonance.

In fact, as early as the 1940s, Japanese writer Atsushi Nakajima had an insight into the weakness of human nature, drawing on ancient Chinese books, wrote the world-renowned "Mountain and Moon".

The author with delicate brushwork, tells the Tang Dynasty Li Zheng, although there is a towering talent, but ambitious, greedy vanity; After tasting the world's cold and warm, and self-deprecation, self-abandonment.

In the end, Li Zheng turned into a colorful tiger with hatred of the world and fled into the wild mountains, ending his life as a human being.

The protagonist's experience is like a mirror, clearly reflecting the lives of all people, but also teaches us why some people are talented and promising, but still can not live a good life!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~①~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Li Zhengyuan was born in the late years of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty.

He was clever and studious since his childhood, and had outstanding literary talent. He not only did a good job in poetry, but also became a scholar at a young age. Even the examiners praised him.

In addition, Li Zheng was soon appointed to fill the post of Jiangnan Officer due to his rare talents.

Although he was only a minor official, Jiangnan was a land of fish and rice and rich people. In fact, Jiangnan was a very promising job.

For the students who just left the imperial examination, it was really good luck for Li Zheng to be favored by his superiors and become an officer in Jiangnan.

However, the fate of Li Zheng did not think so.

He felt that he was full of talent and ambition, but he had wasted ten years of hard work when he became such a petty official.

Not only that, he also thought, all day in the face of a group of vulgar officials, flattery, kowtow, does not insult his ambition?

Therefore, he was not only complaining, but also privately called "Jiangnan Wei" a lowly official. So he soon resigned and returned to his hometown.

Everyone is sorry for him, Li Zheng's friends, but also after hearing the news, quickly came to dissuade.

Friends sigh that he has talent and ability, even if the temporary position is a little lower, but also afraid that in the future can not be promoted to official Jin Jue, honor the ancestors?

However, Li Zheng has decided to go, no matter how hard his friends talk, he can not listen to half a word of honest advice.

As the ancient saying goes: when an opportunity is lost, it never comes again.

A few years later, Li Zheng's former colleagues were in high positions and prospered in government.

But Li Zheng is too arrogant, early ruined the bright future, the day also crossed more distress, finally even the normal livelihood has become a problem.

Someone said, "The story of Li Zheng is still being played out today."

How many college graduates, self-proclaimed degree in hand, ambitious, wages less, turned away; Not satisfactory, a clap table quit; A few years after graduation, I still lie at home dreaming of success, but refuse to work steadily.

Of course, it's human to want to succeed.

But the ideal is very plump, the reality is very bony.

Ability no matter how outstanding, also want to accept the experience of the bottom.

Things to do one by one, the road to go step by step, success to accumulate bit by bit.

Instead of aiming too high, it is better to temporarily lower posture, attentively do every little thing, when the opportunity comes, in order to accumulate.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~②~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When he resigned, Li Zheng thought to himself, "It would be better to become a great poet with eternal honor than to be a minor official clinging to a high official."

It is a good choice to live a poetic life like idle clouds and wild cranes without suffering from leaving home.

However, within a few years, Li Zheng's life became increasingly difficult.

Because, for the experience of the rich and expensive Li Zheng, the pastoral life, simply can not meet his inner desire.

Before when a minor official, every month in addition to the official salary, but also in the work of a lot of money. Nowadays, without income, life is full of money.

He could not endure the hardships of work, and he felt that after high school, he had been gilded. Wouldn't it be beneath him to go back to his previous hardships?

As the saying goes, "It is easy to move from thrift to extravagance, but difficult to move from extravagance to thrift."

In the past, the humble food to eat incense, coarse cloth old clothes wear intimate; Nowadays, meals not only pay attention to the variety, but also require exquisite, clothes are more silk and satin, fine workmanship.

What little money he had saved before, he was running out of money, so within a few days, Li Zheng was already struggling.

However, the greed of human nature can never be satisfied.

Although only a fictitious name, but friends invited, he will not refuse, and time and time again, full of money.

Villagers for help, even if their own food and clothing have not yet, also want to squeeze out from the teeth, to help others.

Li Zheng is not ignorant of his family's financial situation, nor is he ignorant of his own situation, but he is still so, after all, to satisfy his inner vanity.

Just like the current popular fake exquisite, obviously limited income, even rely on their parents to support, but still pursue material extravagance.

Buy a bag thousands of thousands of dollars, frequent high-end clubs; Clothes not practical, only the luxury brand...... Even to this end to borrow net loans, usury......

However, the word "fake" tells the truth behind "exquisite" - but to pay for vanity and desire again and again.

As the old saying goes: "A tiny business is more desire, the gentleman more desire is greedy for wealth and wealth, waste road speed disaster."

Vanity not only will not make people become delicate, on the contrary, the world how many regret lifelong guilt, the fundamental is caused by vanity.

A person's real refinement, never rely on material decoration lintel, but internal cultivation and knowledge.

Vanity, will eventually lead to depravity, an empty dream; Only not vanity, happy-go-lucky, is the most real and reliable life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~③~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Trapped in poverty, Li Zheng had to seek a local official position for his wife and children.

Compared with Jiangnan Wei, of course, much worse, but also have a fixed job, temporarily solve the food and clothing.

If Li Zheng can put down his pride and work hard, with his talent and ability, he can still have a good future.

But he soon discovers that his boss is a former colleague whom he despised, and his remaining dignity is severely wounded.

This made Li Zheng more and more feel inferior, sigh his life should be such a failure.

He gradually lost patience with his work, and was often reprimanded by his superiors for his hasty handling of assignments assigned by them.

At home, he was more self-deprecating and resentful, and his emotions were more difficult to control.

It is said that the two sides were born from the heart. Later, Li Zheng had changed from a handsome man with plump cheeks to a skinny, sharp face.

Finally, on a business trip, Li Zheng lost control of his emotions and went completely mad.

When it was the dead of night, Li Zheng suddenly looked suddenly changed, mouthing words that no one could understand, all the way rushed into the vast night.

The official of the same trade will search nearby all over, but did not find the trace of Li Zheng. Later, the home trustee multiple inquiries, there is still no information.

Old friend until the following year, li zheng, is now the supervision of the empire of yuan 傪, by night, in the mountains came across li zheng, just know as early as a year ago, he becomes a tiger.

When his old friends meet again, Li Zheng can not help feeling sad. He tells his friends that his life as a man is over, but he can not let go of his wife and children. He asks his friends to take care of his family here.

Li Zheng lamented that he could have resumed his career after returning to officialdom, but he felt inferior to himself and ended up like this.

According to the book Emotional Control and Regulation, "Low self-esteem is tantamount to self-destruction."

Although in real life, no one turns into a tiger.

But Li Zheng's life is a microcosm of all living beings in an ordinary world.

Throughout the workplace, many qualified and talented people are subservient to others, self-esteem is frustrated, resulting in low self-esteem, and eventually, depression, serious lead to mental disorders.

But in life, there will always be too many setbacks, do not because of the temporary failure, and give up, completely deny the whole life.

Overcome inferiority, calmly face, only through the narrow door of life, will usher in the road.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~④~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After turning into a tiger, Li Zheng once said:

I am afraid that I am not jade, so I do not dare to polish hard, but I also have half confidence in myself to become jade, so I would not be mediocre, with rubble.

So I gradually withdrew from the world, alienated from people, in the anger and resentment, let my inner cowardly pride grow. Every man is a tamer, and the beast is his temperament.

Li Zheng finally realized that it was his conceited, vain and self-abasement that led to his tragic life. But it was too late for him to return to earth.

Born as a person, even if there are too many forced, but everyone is bound to be responsible for their own life, whether high or low, is a karma reincarnation of self practice.

Truly understand the fate of the people, know how to self-restraint.

Not conceited, not burdened by status; Not vanity, do not pay for desire; Don't feel inferior, don't self-destruct for emotions.

May everyone be in control of their own destiny and have a life without regret.
