"If you don't put it aside, it will be bitter. If you can hold it back, you will become famous." Between the strokes is the whole life. So what do we need to put aside? What do we hold back? In this world of desire, we need to put aside the temptation of chaos, endure the quietness and loneliness that belong to us, and find our own tranquility in the hustle and bustle.
Life is in a choice every moment. Every decision at the moment is related to the fate of the future. However, the disturbances of the outside world interfere with our thinking. "The flowers are so beautiful that they dazzle the eyes." The world is big and there are many temptations. Under those gorgeous appearances, there is a dark abyss. We are bewitched and confused. Little do we know that at this moment, refusal is the best choice. Throughout the ages, those literati who are truly famous in history have a heart that dares to refuse. Tao Qian and Li Bai refused high positions and chose inner freedom. Borges refused the preservation strategy of obeying the powerful and chose self-dignity. The value of a person does not lie in how many choices he makes, but in how many he refuses. Faced with countless options in life, we will be curious and at a loss. We cannot predict the outcome. We only know which one is the most suitable for us. And those that are not suitable for us are wrong after all, no matter how lucrative the benefits behind them are. Therefore, life requires rejection and learning to put aside.
As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." Human nature determines that we are social animals, but the so-called trends and fashions derived from this social life can sometimes mislead us. In ancient times, there was "three people make a tiger", and now there are online rumors. I will temporarily define this kind of public opinion as the noise of the outside world. In this kind of noise every day, the tranquility in my heart has long been destroyed and disappeared. At this time, we need another kind of rejection: leave the noise and go to loneliness.
Loneliness is not the same as loneliness. Loneliness is a passive elimination, while loneliness is the active pursuit of self-tranquility and the independence of self-choice. Zhou Guoping once talked about loneliness like this: "Lonely people will be out of date, but everything will become fashionable, including loneliness." Although the price of loneliness is to stay away from the trend and be out of date, inner peace is far more important than those insignificant recognitions. Loneliness has long become a trend among literati. Independence is the most beautiful attitude in dealing with the world. On the long road of life, we will meet different people and feel their company. But as Long Yingtai wrote: "Some roads can only be walked alone." Walking alone is the final destination of everyone. Therefore, life needs loneliness, learn to hold it back.
Reject unnecessary desires, reject harsh words, choose loneliness, and enjoy loneliness. Find your own tranquility in the hustle and bustle, and experience the profoundness and freedom of "floating like a loner" in the pure land of your heart.
