情緒的波動猶如大自然中的山巒起伏，使人生充滿了動態與變化。在情緒高漲時，我們感到興奮和滿足；在低落時，則感到失落和空虛。負面情緒驅使我們尋求新的刺激和挑戰，也許這正是我們熱衷於冒險的原因。
從冒著生命危險攀登懸崖，到冒著關係破裂的風險爭吵，我們對情緒的倚賴導致了許多意外事故。然而，情緒只是我們心中短暫的湧動，所帶來的存在感非常有限，不應該成為追求的目標。人生是一個意識成長的過程，需要我們不斷學習和創造。我們對確定性和安全感的需求表明，生活不是一場冒險的遊戲，而是一場避免危險的競賽。因此，我們應該避免那些可能危及生命的行為。
在生活中，我們無法避免各種困難。這些困難不是我們冒險的結果，而是生活的一部分，可以讓我們變得更強大、更有智慧。每一個選擇都有代價，因此我們要謹慎行事，只做那些真正對生命有益的事情。一般來說，以跌入深淵為代價來達到頂峰，是不值得的。
頂峰的吸引力往往是欲望製造的幻象，因此我們也會想像無底深淵，用恐懼來平衡欲望，減少未來的遺憾。我們不應該被這些想像中的吸引或恐懼所左右，因為我們需要實現人生的目標和價值。只要創造更有利於生存的環境，我們就能安居樂業。
當然，有時我們需要冒險，例如在災難中拯救生命。在這種情況下，我們應該放下安逸，勇敢地面對挑戰，盡力不讓自己陷入危險。但這種情況應該是例外，而不是常態。我們不應該為了追求刺激而冒險，但也不應該因為恐懼而放棄拯救生命的機會。
對大多數人來說，選擇遠離登頂的危險，雖然無法體驗那種興奮，卻能收穫內心的平靜。情緒高漲如同險峻的山峰，而低落則如同深淵，兩者都對生命構成危險。在人生的競賽中，重要的是避開危險的能力，而不是無知的無畏。我們越有意識，就越有可能獲勝。只要做到深入體驗、細緻總結和謹慎預測，我們就能克服一切困難，達到內心的目標。
因此，我們需要明白人生不是一場冒險，而是一種創造者的享受。在寧靜中創造更多美好的事物，我們會找到內心的滿足，並對生命充滿感恩。如果放下對情緒的追求，以高度的覺知去生活，我們就能在必要時作出理智和勇敢的選擇，而不是為了一時的快樂而忘卻生命。這樣，我們才能享受真正的自由與幸福。

The path to Tranquility (39)
Life is not an adventure
The fluctuations of emotions are like the ups and downs of mountains in nature, making life full of dynamics and changes. When we are emotionally high, we feel excited and satisfied; when we are emotionally low, we feel lost and empty. Negative emotions drive us to seek new excitement and challenges, which may be why we are so keen on taking risks.
From risking our lives by scaling cliffs to risking relationships by arguing, our reliance on our emotions leads to many unexpected accidents. However, emotions are only brief surges in our hearts, bringing very limited presence, and should not be a goal to pursue. Life is a process of growth in consciousness, which requires us to constantly learn and create. Our need for certainty and security suggests that life is not a game of risk taking but a race to avoid danger. Therefore, we should avoid behaviors that may endanger our lives.
In life, we cannot avoid various difficulties. These difficulties are not the result of our adventures, but a part of life that can make us stronger and wiser. Every choice has a price, so we must act carefully and only do those things that are truly beneficial to our lives. Generally speaking, it is not worth it to reach the top at the cost of falling into the abyss.
The attraction of the peak is often an illusion created by desire, so we will also imagine the bottomless abyss, use fear to balance desire and reduce future regrets. We should not be swayed by these imaginary attractions or fears because we need to achieve goals and values in life. As long as we create an environment more conducive to survival, we can live and work in peace and contentment.
Of course, sometimes we need to take risks, such as to save lives during a disaster. In this situation, we should let go of our comfort, face the challenge bravely, and try our best not to put ourselves in danger. But this should be the exception, not the norm. We shouldn’t take risks for the sake of thrills, but we shouldn’t give up opportunities to save lives out of fear either.
For most people, choosing to stay away from the danger of climbing to the summit, although they cannot experience that kind of excitement, they can gain inner peace. High emotions are like steep mountain peaks, while low emotions are like an abyss, both are dangerous to life. In the race of life, what matters is the ability to avoid danger, not ignorant fearlessness. The more aware we are, the more likely we are to win. As long as we have in-depth experience, careful summary and prudent prediction, we can overcome all difficulties and achieve our inner goals.
Therefore, we need to understand that life is not an adventure, but a creator's enjoyment. By creating more beautiful things in tranquility, we will find inner satisfaction and be full of gratitude for life. If we let go of our pursuit of emotions and live with a high level of awareness, we will be able to make rational and courageous choices when necessary, rather than forgetting life for the sake of momentary happiness. In this way, we can enjoy true freedom and happiness.
