《人生没有多余的疼》疼痛塑造人生——人生不能承受之痛

On the journey of life, flowers do not always bloom along the way, but thorns often prick us and hurt our body and mind. However, we can either persevere and overcome the obstacles or retreat and avoid them.

Famous poet Li Bai once said, "Strong winds may break the waves, but a sturdy sail will carry us across the ocean."

Zen master Huang Ye said, "No pain, no gain. Unless one experiences cold, how can they have the fragrance of the plum blossom?"

The famous artist Zheng Xie said, "A diamond is just a piece of charcoal that handled stress exceptionally well, regardless of the direction of the wind."

Author Zhu Chengyu said, "Pain is like the pushing force that propels us forward. If we try to avoid it, we will no longer smell the aroma of the flowers blown to us by the wind.”

Life is full of frustrations. Its not perfect, but this is the reality. How we face these challenges is a test and a chance for growth. The pains and failures we experience can become a driving force to move forward, to give us the courage to face the challenges ahead and to light up our path.

Pain can be a motivating force. By persevering and moving forward, well eventually see the bright side of things. Pain can also be a source of gratitude, reshaping us and giving us the strength to withstand lifes challenges.

01. The Height of Happiness

“People who gaze at skyscrapers are actually gazing at their own happiness.”

The height of happiness is relative. Some people may need to climb a lot of stairs to reach the top, and they could fall and lose everything in the process. Is this kind of happiness worth pursuing?

In fact, happiness can be found in even the smallest things, like the birds on the roof, the flowers in the yard, sleeping puppies, dragonflies touching the water, moonlight at night, or dewdrops on leaves in the morning. The beauty of these small things can lighten our soul and make us feel happy.

The author believes that everyone has the right to choose their own way of life. Its not about chasing glamour, but rather cherishing happiness in every moment, achieving a goal and enjoying the happiness that comes with it. Overindulging in fine dining or pursuing perfection may lead to greed and cause us to miss out on lifes little joys.

02. Love Yourself

In todays fast-paced world, both our bodies and minds can be exhausted. We need to love ourselves and take care of ourselves. But how can we do that?

The author believes that loving oneself is like treating a beloved book. Turn the pages gently, ponder the contents, and force yourself to go beyond the horizon. Its essential to know how to appreciate ourselves, to throw ourselves into life with everything weve got, and to keep moving forward with ease so that we can live our life free of regrets.

Moreover, we can achieve our happiness by setting small goals and enjoying the process of achieving them. The pursuit of luxury materials can cause desires never to be satisfied and may cost us our energy. The author suggests that we should focus on our simple pleasures, cultivate our taste, and embrace the present moment.

03. The Switch between Bitterness and Sweetness

Sometimes we find bitterness in the things we eat. But is it better to embrace it or run away from it?

The author shares her own experiences and believes that after experiencing great bitterness and hardships, small difficulties are much easier to deal with, and small burdens become as light as a feather.

Examples of historical figures who have persevered despite great difficulties are King Goujian and his "sleeping on firewood, tasting gall" tactic, and the great scholar Fang Xuanling and his "digging out of a wall and stealing light" approach.

The author recounts her struggles as a parent, renting a small and broken house, and enduring the cold and hardships. But looking back, those painful experiences helped her become grateful for what she has.

Pain is not a sign of misfortune, but rather a stepping stone that can propel us forward, strengthen our inner self, and enable us to face future challenges.

"Unless you do something yourself, dont blame Heaven," is what the author said and added that we should brace ourselves and take it as an opportunity to become a fearless warrior, just like the plum blossom that blooms brilliantly in the snow.

As we experience the pain, we should also look for ways to transform it into something sweeter and better.
