寧靜的心跡(33) 平等看待一切事物


平等看待一切事物,是一種非常重要的價值觀。它意味著無論如何,我們都應該尊重每個人、物體、文化和觀點。這種價值觀建立在尊重和包容的基礎上,可以讓人際關係更和諧,社會更加平等和公正。

平等地對待別人,是一種保護我們自身利益的一種方式。這不僅維護了別人的自尊,也尊重了我們自己,更是互相關心的基礎。尊重彼此的差異、欣賞彼此獨特之處,我們可以擁有平等的機會和權利,避免關係中過度的衝突。

不評斷好壞,是對待人和事物的成熟態度。大多數事物都不能簡單地分為好或壞。如果常常評斷事物的好壞,表示我們太主觀或有偏見。這樣的評斷很難達成共識,總是會引發爭議。如果每個人都堅持自己的觀點,不考慮別人的意見,那麼行動就會不切實際。

有一個基本的解決方法:停止評斷事物,而是觀察我們自己的感受與事物之間的關係,並專注於自己的行為對事物的影響。先接受事物,不要主觀地給它們貼上標籤。然後保持好奇心,冷靜觀察,不要過早與自己的記憶做對比,避免太快做出判斷。因為事情才剛開始,而且還會持續一段時間,我們過早的介入會擾亂它的發展。

我們應該以同樣的方式對待自己的情緒。不要稱情緒為悲傷或快樂,而是讓它自由流動,感受它帶來的一切,並理解它的意義,這樣我們才能真正享受生活。

例如,窗外下著冷雨,一個人獨自蜷縮在沙發上,喝著一杯熱咖啡。這是悲傷還是快樂?如果繼續觀察,我們會發現一個奇妙的精神現象:人的心靈不僅具有多種情緒,而且還有一個穩定的核心。這個核心就是理性和意識,也就是我們真正的自己。

因此,能夠平等地看待一切事物,說明我們的意識運作良好。我們知道,這意味著給予一切事物平等的機會,讓它們自由發展,並接受大自然的回報。平等的本質,是尊重自然規律,包容萬物的特性,這當然包括我們自己的一切。

能夠包容一切,我們就不會以自己的喜好作為判斷是非的標準,也不會用主觀的價值標準來判斷善惡。當我們客觀地看待事物,就更容易區分想要和需要。那麼,當別人滿足了我們的需要,我們就能心存感激,並主動回饋別人,從而建立起深厚的連結。

平等看待一切事物,是構建和諧社會,實現美好人生的重要基礎。尊重彼此的差異,包容萬物的特性,將會讓我們的人生經歷更加豐富多彩。

The path to Tranquility (33)
Treating all things equally


Treating everything equally is a very important value. It means that we should respect every person, object, culture and opinion no matter what. This value system is based on respect and tolerance, which can make interpersonal relationships more harmonious and society more equal and just.

Treating others equally is a way to protect our own interests. This not only maintains the self-esteem of others, but also respects ourselves, and is the basis for caring for each other. By respecting each other's differences and appreciating each other's uniqueness, we can have equal opportunities and rights and avoid excessive conflicts in relationships.

Not judging good or bad is a mature attitude towards people and things. Most things cannot be simply categorized as good or bad. If we often judge whether things are good or bad, it means we are too subjective or biased. Such judgments are difficult to reach consensus on and will always spark controversy. If everyone sticks to their own opinions and doesn't consider the opinions of others, then actions will be unrealistic.

There is a basic solution: stop judging things, and instead observe the relationship between our own feelings and things, and focus on the impact of our own behavior on things. Accept things first, don't label them subjectively. Then stay curious, observe calmly, don't compare it with your memory too early, and avoid making judgments too quickly. Because things have just begun and will continue for some time, our premature intervention will disrupt its development.

We should treat our emotions in the same way. Don't call the emotion sad or happy, but let it flow freely, feel everything it brings, and understand its meaning, so that we can truly enjoy life.

For example, it is raining coldly outside the window, and a person is curled up on the sofa alone, drinking a cup of hot coffee. Is this sad or happy? If we continue to observe, we will discover a wonderful spiritual phenomenon: the human mind not only has a variety of emotions, but also has a stable core. This core is rationality and consciousness, which is our true self.

Therefore, being able to view everything equally indicates that our consciousness is functioning well. We know that this means giving everything an equal chance, allowing them to develop freely and accepting what nature gives in return. The essence of equality is to respect the laws of nature and embrace the characteristics of all things, which of course includes everything about ourselves.

If we can tolerate everything, we will not use our own preferences as the standard for judging right and wrong, nor will we use subjective value standards to judge good and evil. When we look at things objectively, it becomes easier to differentiate between wants and needs. Then, when others meet our needs, we can be grateful and proactively give back to others, thus establishing a deep connection.

Treating everything equally is an important foundation for building a harmonious society and achieving a better life. Respecting each other's differences and embracing the characteristics of all things will make our life experience more colorful.
