my old life

Chapter 2416
As the saying goes, if you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door!

Some people feel guilty after doing something wrong, and they will definitely find a reasonable catharsis method. The most common way is to find a belief to rely on!
This faith reliance has no practical effect, but purely a psychological comfort!
Originally, I didn't understand the significance of Mike's coming to the Taoist temple. Choosing such a small and remote place was completely inconsistent with his identity and class.

But if you look at it from Chongxi's point of view, then everything makes sense, and the pressure in his heart needs a reasonable way to relieve it!

The smaller the Taoist temple, the more hidden it is, which is also in line with Mike's cautious character, and almost no one will disturb him.

In the society, there are many people in the Jianghu who will engage in the practice of Guan Erge, and the practice of spending a lot of money to burn incense and worship Buddha. In fact, they are all for psychological comfort.

Here Mike can let go of all his troubles, burdens and pressures, no worries or worries... I can empathize with him!

The two days here are very boring, but it makes people relax and feel an unprecedented life.

At this moment, I understand why Mike doesn't care about the quality of life, let alone provocation and embarrassment. He lives with a completely different mentality.

It's hard to imagine what a person looks like after completely letting go of his defenses, it's hard to imagine completely letting go of his experience and defenses, but Mike did it!
The things he did were more dangerous than mine, and his psychological pressure was greater than mine. His belief in God could no longer support him, so he needed joy for psychological comfort.

I used to be surprised that people like Mike believed in God and would pray before every meal, but he didn’t pray after he came here. This detail confirmed my guess!
I used to want to find my ordinary self countless times, but all the experiences made me vigilant, and I still couldn't find a way.

Forget about selflessness, maybe this is what Mike is after, maybe he needs this feeling, so as to reduce the pressure in his heart.

There is no need for anyone to push Mike to retreat at this moment, he will take it more seriously than anyone because of his inner insecurities!
I breathed a sigh of relief and quietly recalled my past self, so naive and childish, but also so kind and inaction...

How can a person find a way to go back to the past?
With the current state and maturity, it is impossible for a person to return to the past, let alone find the state of mind of the past... because growth will change a lot!

If you let go of all your experience and maturity, let go of everything, you can get back your previous state of mind, because the self in memory will never change!

At this moment, I saw myself in the past, and I also saw Mike in the past... Now he is what he used to be!
The former Mike was not ruthless, he was not without emotion, all his changes here are to pursue the former self!
To put it bluntly, the former Mike did not have such a great psychological pressure, nor did he feel guilty or guilty. In any case, he could not avoid the characteristics of human nature!

At this moment, I finally understand why Mike has changed so much, understand why he is so respectful to an old Taoist, and understand why he is willing to suffer this bird crime...

Now it seems that Mike misled me on purpose. Before coming here, he said that he could become stronger, but he didn't say which aspect.

In fact, people will not become stronger here, neither the mind nor the body will become stronger, only the heart can be stronger!
Only by unloading the heavy burden in the heart can a strong state of mind be obtained!
Find yourself once, let go of all cares and entanglements, and forget your present and future. Isn't this the state of selflessness?

In a trance, my heart was bright. I don't know if I can get back to the state I used to be, but if Mike can do it, why can't I?
Although I used to have many places that I don’t want to remember, and there are also many places that are unbearable and cowardly, but that is the most real me!

At that time, I didn't know the tricks of the rivers and lakes, I had no social experience, and I didn't have a city and a heart, but at that time I was the most relaxed!
In fact, when people grow up, they instinctively avoid the pain and sorrow of the past, and are unwilling to admit their insignificance, so how can they find their former self?

Many people get lost in the quagmire of life, lost themselves and can't find who they used to be, and don't know why they lost their dreams and ideals.

Some people even don't understand their past thoughts, their past persistence and pursuit, and they can't see tomorrow and the future.

If a person cannot find the original state of mind, he will never be able to unload the burden in his heart, let alone gain enlightenment!
At this moment, I realized a lot, and I understood a lot. Only by letting myself go and being a simple person can I get the most complete relaxation from the bottom of my heart.

Here I forget my friends and cares, my responsibilities and responsibilities, my grievances and love, my fate and shackles, and even who I am.

Just like the self in my memory, I will cheer for a game victory, feel suffocated for a smile, and be moved by a small thing.

At that time, there were no worries and sorrows, and it was as simple as a piece of white paper, without being filled with traces by the world of the rivers and lakes, and without being touched by darkness.

This feeling is like flying in the blue sky, like swimming on the [-]-mile long river. It is impossible for people to turn back time, but people can change their state of mind.

When a person can change his state of mind, it is like traveling through time and space to go back to the past and savor those beautiful and happy moments.

Time is not irreversible at this moment, and life is not irreversible at this moment. Find the fork in the road where life changes, and find the mood to start again!

Even if life has fallen into a mess, even if you have strayed into the world of gambling, even if you have lost a lot.

But as long as people can adjust their mentality and find the state of mind at the fatal fork in the road, then everything can be restarted!

People are always used to melancholy. In fact, a mistake made many days ago cannot be changed in a day.

Maybe people with depressed life can't breathe, maybe the debts they bear can make people breathless, but there is hope in life as long as you are alive!

"Hawkeye, are you asleep again?"

"I haven't." When I opened my eyes, I realized that it was already dark, and such a long time had passed before I knew it!

"What did you see? Is it a ball of light or a bright golden world?" The old man looked at me blankly. His expression always made me think he was an idiot.

"Teacher, I saw my former self and feel that time is reversible." I answered truthfully, this is an extremely precious insight!

The most important thing for a person to grow up is perception. This is something that no teacher can teach, and it is also a unique experience.

"It can only be regarded as a sergeant's talent to be able to realize it once." The old Taoist turned and left after saying a word. I thought to myself that this is not a liar, right?
I was talking nonsense yesterday, and he said that I was a sergeant, but today I have so many insights, but I have lowered my grade?
Is it because my level of nonsense yesterday was too high?Or is my comprehension too low-level today?

"Let's go, let's go back and rest." Mike greeted, and I looked up at the dark sky, and I seemed to understand.

At this moment, I don't feel hungry, my mind is as calm as a quiet lake, and I don't have any worldly thoughts, including eating.

I used to smoke habitually, but now I don't have any thoughts of smoking, as if I have become hopeless.

When a person has no desires or desires, there is no need for someone to stipulate not to eat after noon, and he really does not feel hungry.

When I came to the rest of the Datong shop, the simple conditions could not arouse my dissatisfaction, because this is indifferent.

Everything changed because of the change of mood!
When Mike came here yesterday, his face was calm. I think I understand why he is calm. His state of mind must be extremely strong!
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal!

Mike can do this level, others don't understand his change, but I can understand!

An impetuous person only looks at the surface of things, can only see the superficial but cannot see the deeper level, this kind of person will never understand the meaning of the city and the pattern.

Now I can understand Mike, he is not always calm as on the surface, his heart is full of anxiety and panic!

When this restlessness and panic is smoothed out, it is time for us to leave here!
