What is happiness? Mr. Liang Shiqiu once said that after turning 50, people feel that each year is getting worse.
After 60, I feel like January is not as good as January. After 70, it's getting worse day by day. But after 80 years old, he was not as good as before. What are we pursuing in our lifetime of poverty? In fact, countless people have overlooked a truth, which is that many things do not need to have any meaning.
Life is a journey, eating, drinking, and having fun are not the same as wasting time. Enduring hardships is not worthy of praise. Life is about constantly feeling and experiencing. Life is a combination of various meanings. As long as you are willing, you can do those seemingly meaningless things to your heart's content, such as daydreaming, watching clouds, watching the sunrise, and watching stars. Your experiences themselves are the greatest meaning. Life doesn't necessarily have to do things that are considered meaningful by the world. Meaning is something we give ourselves. Life is a wilderness rather than a predetermined path. As long as you enjoy the present moment, it is meaningful.
A short life, a hundred years later, without you or me. We strive all our lives but cannot take away every brick and tile, and we persist all our lives without leaving a trace of love, hate, and resentment. So we don't have time to argue, be sad, or nitpick, we only have time to love and enjoy, because everything is fleeting, and only living in the present is the most important.
When I was a child, I thought it was a big deal to forget my homework. When I was studying, I thought it was a big deal not to pass the exam. When I was in love, I thought it was a big deal to be separated from my sweetheart. Looking back now, we have already overcome the obstacles that we once thought were difficult to overcome, and the things we once thought were unacceptable have also been accepted. Life is full of choices, regrets are just the norm. In fact, no matter what choices people make, they often regret them. People always habitually beautify the path they didn't choose in the first place. However, we both know in our hearts that even if time were turned back, it would still be the same at that time Mind and experience, we will still make the same choices. Looking back, the light boat has crossed ten thousand mountains; Looking ahead, the road ahead is long and bright.
People are different from each other. Some people are in their twenties but their hearts are as lifeless as ashes, while others are still living a wonderful life in their nineties. Some people lost their lives in an instant, while others lay in hospital beds for decades before passing away. A capable person may not see their parents many times a year, while an ordinary person can enjoy a lifetime of family reunion and family happiness. There is no absolute standard for what is right or wrong, your heart is the standard. Life is too short to start over. While there is still time, love what you love, pursue what you ask for, and enjoy it to the fullest.
If you ask what the meaning of life is, I will tell you that life has no meaning. 99% of people will completely erase the traces of their existence after three generations. So the meaning of life lies in the experiences you have had during these short decades of living. Never nitpick over trivial matters or small gains, only adding to our troubles, and never punish ourselves with others' mistakes.
The world is unpredictable, waking up one day is a day, and not waking up one day is a lifetime.
What we can do is to taste every dish with our hearts, appreciate every flower with our hearts, appreciate every scenery with our hearts, fulfill every responsibility with our hearts, and feel every joy and emotion in the present moment with our hearts.
What is happiness? Happiness is actually very simple, with nine words: home, someone to read, and food to eat. The so-called peaceful years are nothing but the steaming hot rice at home and the lamp that always lights up for you.
There is always too much time in life, and in the blink of an eye, it's like a day; Looking back, it's a year; Turning around is a lifetime. The happiness we pursue throughout our lives is not in the past or the future, but in the present moment. The scenery in the eye, a bowl of Chinese food, people around us, three meals in four seasons, family sitting together, happiness flowing smoothly, and friendly lights, is the best scenery in the world. In 2025, let's live well together |
