Xiaoxiao under the wind and rain

Chapter 115 (Everything is Empty)
Only when you are empty can you be full.

Static -- empty

Think about it, sitting alone in front of the window on a starry night, watching the moonlight like water, listening to the hoarse cicadas, and understanding the way of all things.The sparks of thought collide with the most brilliant colors in the night sky. This color starts from oneself and ends in stillness. It is immortal for a long time.Get rid of the hustle and bustle of the world, extract a piece of Zen from nature, and sort out the busy and disturbed thoughts caused by dealing with others. It only takes a moment to feel that the sun and the moon are long, the mountains and rivers are safe, and you can feel at ease.

If it is said that riding the wind and waves on the ocean of life is a kind of beauty of pride, then when it returns to calm, it is another kind of beauty. In the deep and orchid tiny waves, there are not only indifference, peace, and simplicity of life hidden, It also shines with rationality and philosophical thinking.In this sense, the calm "emptiness" is also a kind of fullness of life from another perspective.

Silence --- empty

"People who have become numb in the hustle and bustle, it is really difficult to taste the taste of loneliness." Chen Ximi said in "Loneliness is also a good taste".If the hustle and bustle is the hotness of midsummer and August, then the shallow loneliness should be a bottle of iced lemonade, which will cool you down when it is hot, and when you drink it, it is bitter and sour, and the sour is sweet. Carefree, unlimited reciprocation.Jumping out of the illusion of the world, soaring in loneliness, listening to the blossoming and falling of the inner flowers, dwelling in Zen, giving the soul to the universe, and even realizing the realm of nothingness.

Deep loneliness can be sublimated into loneliness. Those who achieve great things must first build an empty room for themselves in their hearts. The "emptiness" over the years is actually for the "fullness" in the future.You must know that before every diamond is discovered, it has to endure the lonely time of burying dust. "Loneliness is a compulsory course for growth, and life is a person's ascetic road. A careful taste of loneliness is the accumulation of accumulation over time, the persistence of gritted teeth, and the self-sufficiency of the spiritual world." "Two sideburns" self-sufficiency.

Loneliness is the "emptiness" of the spirit, and loneliness is the ultimate "emptiness". It is an inner cycle, starting from "emptiness" and returning to "emptiness" in a deeper sense.

Modest --- empty

"Full loss, humility benefits." On the long journey of studying and growing up, the more humble you are in seeking knowledge, the more you will shine.Growth is a process of continuous self-improvement. Let yourself be in an "empty" state all the time, not satisfied with what you get, not satisfied with the status quo, with a humble heart, get rid of arrogance, and grow in reflection, in order to benefit.

In the fiercely competitive contemporary society, it is not a long-term solution to be self-admired, but to lower your profile and be modest is the only way to improve yourself.The great philosopher Socrates once said: "The only thing I know is that I know nothing." The more greatness is placed in the "empty" position, the more "full" it will be. True wisdom is always filled with humility. It is precious enough, so don't be complacent because of temporary achievements or victories, and you can only get one step closer if you are never satisfied.

Quietness is the principle of loneliness, and loneliness means humility.

The so-called fullness begins with emptiness.
