Life is Impermanent, May You Have No Regrets
Fate is uncertain, human beings and animals, all cannot escape it:
The Australian bushfires raged for months, resulting in the deaths of billions of animals;
The crash of Kobe Bryant's plane, a legendary figure left us forever;
Wuhan pneumonia swept across, we had to fight against the virus.
We never know what tomorrow and unexpected things will bring, we can only live diligently, live hard. Cherish the people and things in front of us, in this finite life, let every minute and every second be incredibly rich.
About life and regrets, after reading these four sentences, you will understand a lot.
01
as long as there is a future
people can be happy
the most beautiful thing in this world is to have expectations.
When you have expectations, ordinary days also have color.
People are happiest when they are expecting happiness, not when they have obtained happiness.
Just like the fox in 'The Little Prince' says:
You come here every afternoon at four o'clock, I start to feel happy from three o'clock, and when it's four o'clock, I'll be restless.
Life is inevitably full of pain and regrets, but because of the expectation for the future, we have more strength and courage to overcome the current difficulties and traps.
Just like Andy in 'The Shawshank Redemption', he was wrongly imprisoned for decades, he suffered various insults and abuse in prison, but he never gave up his expectation of a better life.
He said that there were some things that could not be blocked by the walls, that was the expectation of a better life.
With this expectation, he persevered through all the hardships in prison and successfully redeemed himself.
Sometimes life is like a cage, making us lose freedom and dignity, suffering all sorts of tortures. But once you have expectations, you have passion and fire in your heart, you won't be completely despairing of life, you will have the power to overcome difficulties.
Don't blame your life for being unhappy.
You should know thatthe most unremarkable moments in your life are the best.
Although no one can predict the future, although we don't know what wonderful things will happen ahead, we should always have expectations, and a simple and repetitive life will have color.
As long as there is a future, people can be happy.
When you persist, things will eventually embrace you.
02
don't always think that the future is long
forget that things are uncertain
January 2020 was not a good month for everyone, many people wanted to turn back time, they wanted to redo 2020.
I saw a voting topic on the internet: Do you want to restart 2020?
Some say, to restart 2020, hope that all tragedies will not happen again, all beautiful things will come as scheduled.
Many people still said clearly: Every day is a live broadcast, time cannot be rewound.
Yes,2020 has never been wrong, things are always uncertain, no matter how many times you restart, there will always be regrets.They say that time is merciless, and the merciless thing is not time, but us who haven't lived our lives fully.
Our favorite phrases are “finished”, go home to see parents, “a special occasion” go “to confess”, “tomorrow” to meet friends, “some day” to get together……
In fact, there are always ‘unfinished’ things, we can never ‘find a special day’, ‘some day’ is always unknown.
Finally, in the ‘unfinished’ word, we regret our lives.
Everyone has a long list in their heart, writing down so many beautiful things, but these things are always postponed and shelved in the attic of time.
Some things and people are lost once and for all.
Therefore,
don't wait for the future, don't hope for a second chance, only cherish the present.03
03
is the best state in life
Three-Spring Tea says: Time is beautiful, because it is inevitably passing. Spring flowers, autumn moon, summer days, winter snow.
Life is a one-way journey, with no return. But time keeps coming back, taking away many things, and giving us many things.
said: ‘The best way to preserve time is to dedicate it to turning it into eternal poems and paintings.’ Time is the best sedimentation of life, the more weathered and aged, the more beautiful it is. Everything along the way, even if it’s not perfect, it’s worth remembering.
Along the way, there are gains and losses, everything is unfinished. No matter what, we don't regret our youth. A new year, the more peaceful life, the more brilliant our hearts.
Facing life is a matter of courage, it's also a matter of wisdom.
Every day you can take your grievances out to bask in the sun, your mood won't be deficient in calcium. As long as your heart is clear, there will be no rain in your life. Even if you exhaust all your strength, when you wake up in the morning, it's a new beginning.
04
a life that cannot be repeated
try to love
‘The most beautiful and cruel thing in life is that it cannot be repeated.’
When you finally mature enough to accept this reality, you should learn to love: love others, love yourself.
I saw a story shared by a netizen:
The protagonist contracted a serious illness, he could still go shopping and buy food three months ago, now he hasn't eaten for three months, hasn't taken a shower or bath, has many tubes inserted in his body, he can only lie in bed, sometimes clear-headed, sometimes confused, his words are weak and powerless.
After a long treatment, his body finally recovered. When she returned home, she summarized:
Life is uncertain. When she came back, I realized I could still go shopping, eat, take a shower and bath, I could still chat with customers and work, whatever grievances and unhappiness, it doesn't matter.
Love yourself, work well so as not to hurt yourself, cherish what you have now, it's enough.A life that cannot be repeated, please love yourself.
As long as you are healthy now, take care of your health and enjoy your health;
As long as your surrounding people are still there, give them the best of your temper and love;
As long as the future is still long, work hard to become the person you want to be.
May you, all the people you want to see, can see you;
May you, all the things you want to do, come true;
May you, all the places you want to go, arrive.
