Life is like tea.
Everyone's life is like a cup of fragrant tea. When tea leaves give off a delicate fragrance, it is your treasure house. However, being constantly brewed, washed and baptized by water is the normal state of life, just as life is destined to go through ups and downs to reach the other side of success and gain the freedom of the soul.
Yes, suffering is the normal state of life.
That astringent fragrance permeates my sense of smell. It was Zhu Shenghao who diligently translated Shakespeare's plays in an environment where his home was surrounded by walls; That's the trace of Shi Tiesheng sitting in a wheelchair looking for his mother under the acacia tree; That is Nietzsche's insistence on truth when he is not believed; That's the sweat dripping from walking in the rice fields under the scorching sun in Yuan Longping ... Our life is often full of wealth, health, understanding and achievements, and also full of difficulties. Just like the initial state of life is a pile of tea leaves waiting to be boiled, all kinds of tests and challenges will follow. However, the characteristic of human beings is that the more they are knocked down, the more they will stand up.
That faint fragrance, sip into my mouth. However, indomitable souls may be looking forward to the coming storm. They are eager to heat the water with their love for life and make their value last forever. Burned diamonds can eventually become diamonds, and mussels that have suffered from sand can finally reveal pearls. The pioneers in the preface of Tolerance finally opened the door of light after several years, and countless great men pointed out the direction of truth for the world. "Who will eventually shock the world, who will be deeply silent for a long time; Whoever finally lights the lightning will linger like a cloud for a long time. " Without those disasters, how can we see Hawking conquer the universe with wisdom? How to understand Cao Xueqin's meticulous words in A Dream of Red Mansions; How can you see a sky that was once full of the blood of predecessors, but now it is blue and full of tears? ...
Lin Qingxuan once compared the memory of life to a hotel, and the normal state of life is to constantly choose the direction of running immediately; Hugging bear compares life to an arc, "we will all go along this trajectory." However, I think these metaphors fail to reveal the essence of life suffering and the wonderful process during it. We are the tea in a cup of tea. Warm water cannot overflow the wisdom and fragrance of life; Only a life that has been continuously cooked with boiling water is a truly meaningful and immortal normal life.
"A real warrior dares to face a bleak life." If you live like tea, you are doomed, but more importantly, you can face the pain directly, dissolve it and turn it into the fragrance of life. Only in this way can we get inner peace when life is quiet, fearless when we doubt, and gain inner peace and courage when life is miserable.
