也許我們都會害怕失去一些重要的東西,例如工作、健康、財富、家庭或朋友等。只要想到失去的可能,就會讓我們感到焦慮、悲傷,甚至絕望。其實,害怕失去並不能改變甚麼,反而會讓我們陷入不必要的困擾和痛苦中。
無需害怕失去,因為任何外在的一切都不屬於我們。無論是房屋、愛人甚至生命,世間的一些東西,我們最多只有暫時的使用權或保管權。與宇宙的浩瀚相比,這些東西都是微不足道的,不可能永遠存在。
任何恐懼都會阻礙我們獲得喜悅。生命短暫,所以我們應該慶祝和感激自己還活著。如果因為擔心失去而活在恐懼中,那麼此刻我們就已經失去了一切。唯有心懷感恩,我們才能擁有世界。
無論害怕甚麼,最終都會使我們害怕愛,並且封閉自己的心,活在黑暗和孤獨之中。因為恐懼,我們拒絕嘗試新事物,活得像化石一樣。也是因為恐懼,我們無法覺醒,只能在半夢半醒之間徘徊。
只有提高我們的意識,才能解開內心的枷鎖。即使真的失去了一些東西,我們都可以從中學習,獲得智慧和成長。能夠接受失去,會讓我們有勇氣面對生活的任何考驗,變得更加堅定和自信,更加獨立。
意識的本質是我們對自己的了解和信賴,這與謹慎有很大的不同,因為謹慎的本質是害怕犯錯。謹慎意味著我們感到恐懼,這限制了我們探索未知的領域。然而,意識讓我們清晰地思考,依靠理性和智慧,並預測未來的危險和機遇。
隨著意識的提高,我們能夠清楚地看到自己的得失。透過減少恐懼,我們可以不斷成長和進步。然而,如果害怕失去,那麼我們就真的會失去。而且,這種失去確實非同小可。當我們因害怕失去而停止前進,我們就失去了生命中寶貴的時間。

The path to Tranquility (9) No need to fear losing
Perhaps we all fear losing something important, such as a job, health, wealth, family or friends, etc. Even just thinking about the possibility of losing them can make us anxious, sad, or even despairing. In fact, the fear of loss doesn't change anything, but instead can trap us in unnecessary worries and suffering.
There is no need to fear losing, because anything external does not belong to us. Whether it is a house, a loved one, or even life, some things in the world, we only have temporary use or custody rights at most. Compared with the vastness of the universe, these things are insignificant and cannot exist forever.
Any fear will prevent us from achieving joy. Life is short, so we should celebrate and be grateful to be alive. If we live in fear because we are worried about losing, then at this moment we have lost everything. Only by being grateful can we own the world.
Whatever we fear, it will eventually make us afraid of love and close our hearts, living in darkness and loneliness. Because of fear, we refuse to try new things and live like fossils. It is also because of fear that we cannot wake up and can only wander between half-dream and half-awake.
Only by raising our consciousness can we unlock our inner shackles. Even if something is truly lost, we can all learn from it, gain wisdom, and grow. Being able to accept loss will give us the courage to face any test in life, becoming more determined and confident, and more independent.
The essence of consciousness is our knowledge and reliance to ourselves, which is very different from caution, because the essence of caution is the fear of making mistakes. Being cautious means we feel fear, which limits us from exploring unknown territory. However, consciousness allows us to think clearly, rely on reason and wisdom, and anticipate future dangers and opportunities.
As awareness increases, we are able to clearly see our gains and losses. By reducing fear, we can continue to grow and improve. However, if we are afraid of losing, then we will actually lose. Moreover, this loss is indeed no small matter. When we stop moving forward out of fear of losing, we lose precious time in our lives.
