寧靜的心跡(119) 報答生命的最好方式


生命是大自然最慷慨的贈予,但如果我們帶著恐懼去享用這份禮物,就會虛度生命。而只有當下的喜悅,才是克服恐懼的良藥。當我們了解自己生命的意義,並享受當下的生活,就不會對未來感到擔憂。

要樂觀正面地活著,除了多微笑和唱歌,還需理解過去的一切。過去是因,當下是緣未來是果。如果我們能理解過去,就知道如何更好地活在當下,也能帶著好奇心毫無恐懼地迎接未來。

許多生活中的遭遇都是小事情。如果我們能清晰地理解小事情的意義,就能消除對過去的誤解,並獲得經驗,從而解除對未來的擔憂,讓生活的品質全面提升。理解可以增加信賴感,也可以讓我們感到快樂。

不要等待未來,因為需要等待的未來永遠不會到來。我們擁有的只是當下的現實,在當下所創造的一切都是未來。如果我們等待未來,那只是用過去的素材,去構建一個不切實際的夢想。等待只會讓我們錯過生命:等成長、等婚姻、等孩子、等孫子,等到最後,我們會發現自己老了,對未來的夢想亦已破滅。

偉大的當下只需透過小事來呈現:學習、工作、休息,或欣賞花草樹木、陰晴雲雨,這些都是生命的亮點。每天早晨醒來,都以全新的心態與活力,投入到平凡事情的細節中,這就是偉大的人生。

回顧那些日積月累的小喜悅,會感到大自然賜予我們最珍貴的禮物,這種幸福感會讓我們深刻體會生命的價值,並無怨無悔。

這種死而無憾的感覺,把我們心中的恐懼一掃而光意味著我們正以最佳的狀態活在世上。這就是報答生命的最好方式。

The path to Tranquility (119) The best way to repay life


Life is nature's most generous gift, but if we enjoy this gift with fear, we will squander it. And only the joy of the present, is the best medicine to overcome fear. When we understand the meaning of our own lives and enjoy the present, we will have no worries about the future.

Living optimistically and positively requires not only more smiling and singing but also an understanding of everything that has happened in the past. The past is the cause, the present is the condition, and the future is the effect. If we can understand the past, we will know how to live better in the present and face the future without fear and with curiosity.

Many of the encounters in life are small things. If we can clearly understand the meaning of small things, we can eliminate misunderstandings about the past and gain experience, thereby relieving worries about the future and overall improving the quality of life. Understanding can increase our sense of trust and make us feel happy.

Don't wait for the future because the future that needs to be waited for will never come. All we have is the reality of the present, and everything we create in the present is the future. If we wait for the future, we are just using the material of the past to build an unrealistic dream. Waiting will only make us miss life: waiting to grow up, waiting for marriage, waiting for children, waiting for grandchildren. In the end, we will find ourselves old and our dreams for the future have already been lost.

The great present only needs to be presented through small things: studying, working, resting, or appreciating flowers and trees, clouds and rain, these are the highlights of life. Wake up every morning and devote yourself to the details of ordinary things with a new mentality and vitality. This is great life.

Looking back on the accumulated small joys, we will feel that nature has given us the most precious gift. This sense of happiness will make us deeply appreciate the value of life and have no regrets.

This feeling of dying without regret, which sweeps away the fear in our hearts, means that we are living in the world in the best possible way. This is the best way to repay life.
