"Walden Lake": The most advanced way to live in life is to go inwardly

"If I are not me, who can still be me?"

This is the author of "Walden Lake", often thinking about it.

In 1842, Solo died suddenly because of his brother, and his heart was hit.

He decided to use another lifestyle to explore his inner confusion and puzzlement.

Soon after, Thorro came to the land purchased by his friend Aimo, and set up a wooden house on the banks of Waldeng Lake, which lived with nature.

Sulhaw's life here was written as a classic literary work, "Lake Walden", which was regarded as classic.

After reading this book, I found:

The true meaning of life is not how much you have, but what you experience.

A person's highest -level living method is to go inward.

Most of the anxiety about life comes from dissatisfaction

"Push all the things in front of you and do your best to live."

Sulor wrote this famous saying in Lake Walden.

When he first moved to Lake Walden, Solo discovered that almost 70%of the villagers' debt was near the forest hut where he lived.

Most of these people chose loans because they wanted to have more land.

Then, in order to cultivate these land, they raised more cattle and spent more effort to cut grass.

In this way, the villagers need to consume more physical strength, and the demand for food has increased sharply.

This cycle is getting more and more busy, but the real income is very meager.

Instead, they lost their own leisurely time due to the pressure of liabilities.

In the day -to -day inaction, people make happiness and happiness farther away.

This made me think of my friends around me.

Almost every time you meet, everyone spit out their own houses too small, salary too low, life is too cramped, and the future is out of reach ...

Have you found that people's desires will never end:

When we rent a house, we envy others to have a house; when we buy our own apartments and envy others, we have three rooms and two halls; when we have our own improvement room, we want to live in other people's three -story villas .. ....

Some people already have a three -story villa, but they also pay the price for this: busy life, neglected children, lack of leisure happiness, and missing happiness.

Let us be anxious, there are also cars, income, children's performance, their own promotion speed ...

We seem to have a lot, but we live less and less like ourselves, and they are becoming more and more unhappy.

As Sulor wrote in "Walden Lake":

"By improving the residence and clothes, we can reasonably save the calories in the body. But if the external calories exceed the calories in our body, wouldn't we burn ourselves?"

This coincides with the point of view of philosopher Nietzsche:

What people finally like is their own desire, not what they want.

This refers to not only people do not know how to be content.

What's more, people who are dissatisfied with the status quo usually pay more.

Maybe it is the experience of life, maybe it is the accompanying family, maybe the calmness, or the complete sleep ...

The more we get, the more we pay. In the end, there are more lost.

As the historian Huang Zongxi said: Less than Light.

In the material world, there must be less; if you are rich, you must be poor; if you have good, you naturally have bad.

No matter where you are standing, there are always better than you, and there are worse than you.

Do subtraction to desire, and to be content with contentment, in order to be easy to mind, inner heart.

Complaining about daily life is usually because of low standing

I have seen such a deep picture:

People + mountain = fairy, people + valley = vulgar.

Many times the reason why we are dissatisfied with life is not how bad the situation itself is, but because we are too low.

Sulha tells such a story in Lake Walden.

A poet walked in the countryside. When he walked into the farm, he was deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery inside.

He walked leisurely along the blooming flowers, seeing the autumn rural scenery, and when he left, he picked two fresh apples and stitched on his chest.

The local villagers saw that the poet was blinded in the farmer for a day, and only took away a few worthless apples when leaving.

They couldn't help mocking: "After a whole day, only a few apples are exchanged for a few apples. This kind of dedication and harvest weighing, it's really stupid!"

For the villagers, the life of the countryside is just accustomed to it, even empty and tedious.

This reminds me of another story.

Entering a park, one person frowned and said that it was dirty and smelly, but the other was happy.

why?

It turned out that after the first person went in, he found that there were a lot of garbage in the park, so he put his attention on the garbage, and only saw the dirty of the park.

Although another person also saw garbage, his eyes always stayed on those graceful scenery, and felt the beauty of nature.

This park is like the world around us.

Life is never what you have, but what you see and what you have experienced.

The same scene, different mood, and different experiences.

The lack of goodness in a person's eyes may be the pastoral scenery of another person.

The grievances in a population may become a little luck of another person.

But at the same time, some people lived a lot of life, and some people lived in the water. It was nothing more than a different attitude.

A wise man once said, "See it and get it."

What you see to have what you have; what do you have to become.

For our eyes, it is not lack of beauty, but a lack of discovery.

For our lives, it is not too much trouble, but insufficient wisdom.

In the final analysis, the happiness of people lies in the happiness of the heart.

Ignoring the inner neglect, it is often because I can't see clearly

Ancient philosophers have a saying: "To explore your heart, this can be used to get the eyes and brains."

After Solo lived alone in Lake Waldon, he became famous and greater, and many people were enlightened to visit his cabin.

They tried to enhance the wisdom of life by understanding Sulor's unique lifestyle and chatting with Solo.

Among them, there were two girls who came here, and even walked the water scoop of Zouro to drink water.

In Zuluo's view, this approach is tantamount to blindly follow the trend.

Because these ownership on the surface is too far away from the sense of happiness and satisfaction.

In fact, people often shout to explore a better life. In fact, it has always been by your side and never need you to find it.

But in life, those who are busy with desire are not a few people who are busy all day long.

See such a post on the Internet.

Netizens felt that everything was missing for a while and had to buy everything.

So take advantage of the shopping festival, buy and buy crazy.

After a period of time, she was collecting the package almost every day, but the moment she got something, she did not have imagined surprises.

Instead, the resettlement and treatment of these items made her feel huge pressure and burden.

Later Xiaowen discovered:

Perhaps because of some emotional needs of her heart, she was not satisfied in daily life, so she hoped to stimulate satisfaction through material consumption.

But obviously, this method does not work.

Wilder said:

"The real perfection of people is not what he has, but what he is."

In the house of Yang Yan and Qian Yanshu, there are no TVs, no calls, but there are books full of houses.

Mr. Ye Jiaying donated all of them. The table was steamed buns and vegetables, but her heart was on the ocean of poetry.

Academician Li Xiaowen has a pair of cloth shoes and plain clothes. He can make a lecture and research every day, but he can be happy.

You know, happiness looks very material, and it is actually very spiritual.

A deserted heart, the soul that bred out.

When we no longer be greedy for foreign objects, no longer find dependence from others, life becomes simpler and simpler, our hearts will become more and more quiet, and the spirit will become more and more abundant.

If you find the habitat of your body and heart, you can start focusing on what you want to do and make everything you want.

At the end

Sulor said in "Walden Lake":

"Push all this in front of you and do your best to live."

More than a hundred years ago, Solo understood it, and the experience was far better than ownership.

In his opinion, the most important thing to know the meaning of life is to learn and explore our inner world.

Sulor also said:

"Become a Columbus, explore all the new continent and new world in your heart. You are not opening a new channel for trade, but a new channel for thought."

The surface of the earth is soft, and people's feet will leave a mark, and so is the journey of thinking.

The birds flew across, and the sky became beautiful; Qianfan was exhausted, and happiness slowly drove.
