Why tangled life, put down is sunny

Life is a traveler, why thousands of knots.

There are many troubles in life, trace back to the source, but "obsession" two words. Clinging to a thought is bound to be trapped by a thought. If you can put down the obsession, change the mood to treat, can be regarded as a kind of life wisdom.

I read such a short story. There are two gardenias in the courtyard where a pair of masters and apprentices live. When they are in full bloom, the fragrance of flowers is everywhere. But one year a gardenia was only half open, and the leaves began to turn yellow. The young disciple was very anxious when he found it. The master comforted him and said, "It's all right. Go and get a pair of scissors." The young disciple was reluctant to take the scissors. He had spent a lot of effort to cultivate the gardenia, and he was unwilling to cut the branches of the flower.

The master explained to him why. Plants need enough nutrients to bloom, and the extra branches absorb nutrients. If they are not cut off, the flowers will wither in a few days because the nutrients cannot keep up with them. The master bent down, fiddled with the branches and said to the young apprentice: "You see, these are redundant, cut off is." Sure enough, after a few days of pruning, the flowers bloomed again.

Most of the time, we are like this little apprentice as persistent in front of the gains and losses, but unknowingly lost more. Life is like planting a flower. Pruning off the superfluous branches makes it more prosperous. When you let go of unrealistic beliefs, you will find that letting go of them can solve many problems. Wise to put down, far better than blindly persistent.

The more one wants, the more ties one has to his heart. Put down the put down, the heart will release the burden, life can be safely free.

There was once an old blacksmith in a blacksmith's shop. One day, an antique dealer came across the old blacksmith's teapot and found that it was a very rare antique teapot. The dealer immediately offered a high price for the pot. When the old blacksmith heard this, his eyes widened. He had never known that a teapot made of mud could be so valuable. Still, because it was an heirloom, he turned down the dealer's request.

After the dealer had left, the old blacksmith used to look around with the teapot. In the past, when he drank tea, he would put the teapot beside him at random, and when he wanted to drink, he would hold the handle and pour it into his mouth. Now, he is always afraid that he will accidentally knock the pot. His mind is so focused on the teapot that he forgets the taste of the tea, the crosstalk on the radio, and the scenery outside the window. To make matters worse, when the townspeople heard that he had a valuable teapot, they came to see it. The old blacksmith was afraid the pot would be stolen, so he reinforced the gate.

In this way, the old blacksmith's life was completely disturbed. After months of this, he could not bear it any more, so he smashed the pot into pieces in public.

Indeed, many troubles are born by the heart, only learn to put down the fetters, to feel "another village" suddenly see the light, understand "a demoiselle rain any life" bold and free.

Once, there was a man who felt that life was very tired. He went to an old man and wanted to find a way to solve it. The old man did not answer him directly, but told him to carry the basket on his back and walk along the gravel road. With each step he picked up a stone and put it into the basket. Before he was halfway there it was too heavy to move. The old man asked him to pour out all the rocks in the basket. Carrying the basket without stones, he felt much more relaxed and soon passed the gravel road.

Each of us comes into this world with an empty basket. In the course OF life, WE PUT something into THE basket as we go along, and as the basket becomes more and more full, we feel more and more laboriously. So, when it's time to let go of something and learn to let go, we can move on better.

Life is long, this way who is not stumbling forward, there is joy and sorrow. Instead of brooding on many small things, it is better to raise your head, stride, put down the burden of tired, let yourself comfortable and calm
