Happiness Lies in Simpleton-ness (Deep Dive)
Life consists of two things: being busy and being clear-headed when doing things. Idle and vague lead to foolishness.
A person who lives loosely is easy to be happy; a person who is clear-minded is prone to worry.
Clear-minded people see too clearly,Too much scrutiny breeds anxiety; while the vague see life's great flavors.
Too clear-headed people are destined to live hard, always finding fault, always letting go, struggling endlessly. Sometimes, it's better to be vague.
There were two drowning men, one with excellent vision, and one with nearsightedness. Both were struggling in a wide river, and soon exhausted themselves.
Suddenly, the person with good vision saw a small boat drifting towards them from afar.
The nearsighted man also vaguely saw something. So, they mustered their courage and swam towards the boat.
As they swam, the person with good vision stopped, realizing it wasn't a boat, but a rotten piece of wood.
But the nearsighted man didn't realize it was just a piece of rotten wood, and he continued to swim forward. When he finally reached his destination and discovered it was just a piece of rotten wood, he was already far from the shore.
The person with good vision was thus lost at sea, while the nearsighted man gained a new life.
People should live loosely and vaguely, and not always need to understand everything.
Wood Heart said: 'In a world of good people, there is always someone vague.'
Zheng Banqiao said: 'It's rare to be vague, and it's a misfortune to be clear.'
Bai Wanshan said: 'The two basic points of life are vague points and graceful points.'
There were two cancer patients. One heard from the doctor that they had only three months to live, and the other heard that he had been alive for two years.
It's better not to know many things than to know too much; it's better to be less astute than to be astute; it's better to be less intelligent than to be intelligent.
This is what people often call 'it's rare to be vague.'
I also heard a story:
During the Western Han Dynasty, the emperor gave a group of sheep to a court official. The official was at a loss as to how to distribute them. So, he randomly took a sheep and said, 'Thank you for the emperor's bounty!' and happily took the sheep home.
Other officials followed his example, randomly taking a sheep and thanking the emperor.
Later, this official was greatly favored by the emperor and respected by the ministers.
Sometimes, you really need to be a little silly. The more you don't calculate, the more you'll gain.
Sometimes, when you want something, heaven won't let you get it.
It's rare to be vague, and it's better to take a relaxed attitude towards life.
Be a little vague with friends, don't worry about giving and getting; be a little vague with others, and you'll earn trust; be a little vague with your lover, give him freedom and give yourself space; be a little vague about things, and let it flow naturally.
Don't calculate human relationships, be guilt-free; ignore gossip, and don't be bothered by your ears.
Perhaps you aren't educated, perhaps you aren't clever, but you might be the happiest person.
Everything you have is luck; everything you lose is the reality of life.
Since life is really bitter, it's better to be a little vague.
