My Heart Has Been Sad Seven Times

I am the fire, and I am also the dead branch. One part of me consumes another part of me. There are two me in a person, one is awake in the dark and the other is sleeping in the light.

We often advance from our tomorrow to pay our yesterday's debt. The root of the flower is a flower that despises honor and fame. I learned silence from talkative people, tolerance from intolerant people, and kindness from cruel people, but the strange thing is that I am not grateful to these teachers. There are two me in a person, one is awake in the dark and the other is sleeping in the light. The mountains in the fog are not hills; the oak trees in the rain are not weeping willows. Waiting is the hoof of time. The things we want but cannot get are always more valuable than the things we have already obtained. My heart has been sad seven times

"You have to stay quiet and spend the desolate winter in your heart." "Blur and chaos are the beginning of all things, but they are not the end."

Poetry is always not so objective. I am an atheist, and I am indifferent to the religious ideas that permeate the book. I don't want to be a sheep in the docile flock. But I really like Gibran's view that parents are just witnesses to their children. His thinking is really a hundred years advanced. In fact, I was attracted to read Bing Xin, whose words are beautiful. "Beauty is eternal life holding itself in the mirror. But you are eternal life and you are also a mirror. "

Time is a treasure that is indifferent to everything, please let me remember you, only limited to familiarity

It is a book that I like very much. It is suitable for careful reading. From it, I can gain a lot of new understanding of life, broaden my mind, look at problems dialectically, and after reading it, I feel that I have been nourished by great love, and I am more accepting and tolerant of myself. Some of my favorite original texts (there are really too many, so I made a lot of notes and slowly internalized them): /Only those below me can envy me or hate me. I have never been jealous or hated, I am not above anyone. Only those above me can praise me or despise me. I have never been praised or looked down upon, I am not beneath anyone. When you say "I don't know you" to me, you are over-praising me and insulting you for no reason. When you reach the heart of life, you will find that you are neither higher than sinners nor lower than prophets. /The strange thing is that you pity those who are slow in their feet, but not those who are slow in their hearts. Have pity on those who are blind to their eyes, not those who are blind to their hearts. It would be wiser for a lame man not to break his enemy's crutch on his head. How foolish is the man who thinks that what he gives to you from his pocket can be taken back from your heart! /Those who are jealous of me praise me without knowing it. /When my soul and body are married by love, I am reborn. / If it is a comfort to pour out the night in your heart into space, then it is also a joy to pour out the dawn in your heart. / Great beauty held me captive, but an even greater beauty freed me from its grasp. /They think I'm crazy because I won't trade my time for money; I think they're crazy because they think my time can be valued. They arranged the most expensive gold, silver, ivory and ebony in front of us, and we arranged our hearts and courage in front of them. Yet they call themselves hosts and treat us as guests. I would rather be the smallest person among human beings who has dreams and the desire to realize them, than be the greatest person without dreams or desires. The most pitiful person is the one who turns his dreams into gold and silver. /We are all climbing the peak of our dreams. If another climber steals your food bag and wallet, filling the food bag and making the wallet heavier, you should pity him. The climb will add difficulty to his body, the burden will lengthen his journey. /You cannot judge a person beyond your understanding, and how shallow your understanding is.

"My Heart Was Sorrowful Seven Times" The first time, when it could have been aggressive, it pretended to be humble; The second time, when it is empty, fill it with Eros; The third time, between difficulty and ease, it chose easy; The fourth time, it made a mistake, but comforted itself by assuming that others would make mistakes too; The fifth time, it is free and weak, but considers it to be the tenacity of life; The sixth time, when it looked down upon an ugly face, it didn't know that it was one of its own masks; For the seventh time, it stood sideways in the sludge of life. Although it was unwilling to do so, it was timid. * I'm ready to go, my enthusiasm is full with the sail, waiting for the wind to come. Love gives nothing except itself, and receives nothing except itself. Love does not possess, nor is it possessed. Because love is satisfied in love. Dancing and singing happily together, but still leaving each other alone. Give your hearts to one another, but do not withhold it from one another. Stand together, but not too close together: nor do oaks and cypresses grow in each other's shadow. * Your children are not your children. It is the children that "life" desires for itself. They come by you, but not from you. Although they are with you, they do not belong to you. You can give them love, but you cannot give them thoughts. Because they have their own thoughts. You can protect their bodies, but you cannot protect their souls. Because their souls live in the house of "tomorrow", which you cannot even imagine in your dreams. You can try to imitate them, but you cannot make them like you. Because life does not go backwards, nor does it stay with "yesterday". * The breath of life is in the sunshine, and the grasp of life is in the wind. You must know that the corner stone of the main hall is not higher than the lowest cornerstone. People of Afallis, you may silence the drums and loosen the strings of the harps, but who can stop the skylark from singing? * I am sad in my heart, because only the desire for freedom has become a fetter. When you no longer regard freedom as a benchmark and achievement, you will be free. What you call freedom is the strongest chain, although the links flash in the sunlight and show off to your eyes. Isn't "freedom" a fragment of yourself, and are you willing to abandon it in exchange for freedom? When your freedom takes off its shackles, it itself becomes the shackles of a greater freedom. * I met souls walking my path. For the soul walks all paths. The soul does not walk on only one road, nor does it grow like reeds. The soul is like a lotus with a thousand petals, opening by itself. * Reason governing alone is a confining power, and passion when careless is a self-immolating flame. Thoughts are like birds in the sky. In the cage of language, they may spread their wings, but they cannot fly. In countless things, you are good, and when you are not good, you are not evil. You just wander around and die. Joy is the flower of your desire, but not the fruit of it. Joy is not freedom, it is just a song of freedom. Regret is just a blinding of the soul, not a punishment of the soul. Beauty is looking at oneself in the mirror of eternity. But you are eternal life and you are also a mirror. "Sand and Foam" Memory is a form of encounter. Forgetting is a form of freedom. The meaning of a person lies not in his achievements, but in what he strives to achieve. The essence of a person does not lie in the side he reveals to you, but in the side he cannot reveal to you. It takes two of us to discover the truth: one to tell it and one to understand it. Although the waves of words are always noisy above us, our depths are always silent. Many theories are like windows through which we see the truth, but which also separate us from the truth. Trees are poems written by the earth on the sky. We cut them down to make paper so we could record our hollows. Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity. Sin is another name for need, mercy is only half justice. How despicable I am to think myself generous when life gives me gold and I give you silver! When you reach the heart of life, you will find that you are neither higher than sinners nor lower than prophets. The strange thing is that you pity those who are slow in their feet, but not those who are slow in their hearts. Have pity on those who are blind to their eyes, not those who are blind to their hearts. Oddly enough, when we defend what is wrong, we use more vigor than when we defend what is right. They think I'm crazy because I won't trade my time for money. I think they're crazy because they think my time can be valued. Depth and height go to depth and height in a straight line; only expanse can move in a circle. * Perhaps the sea's definition of shells is pearls. Perhaps time has defined coal as diamond. Honor is the shadow standing passionately in the sun. The root of the flower is a flower that despises honor and fame. There is no religion and no science outside of beauty. * I am the fire, and I am also the dead branch. One part of me consumes another part of me. When wisdom is so proud that it refuses to cry, is so solemn that it refuses to laugh, and is so complacent that it refuses to look at others, it ceases to be wisdom. When you reach the end of what you should know, you are at the beginning of what you should feel. * I said to life: "I want to hear death speak." Life raised his voice a little higher and said, "Now you hear him." * Life and death are the two noblest expressions of bravery. Generosity is giving more than one is capable of, self-esteem is receiving less than one needs. Desire is half life, indifference is half death. The most bitter thing in our sorrow today is the memory of our joy yesterday. People who are jealous of me praise me without knowing it. A great man has two hearts: one that bleeds and the other that is forgiving.

What I like is you, but it is not you. It is another me, the self in my heart. I'm looking in the mirror, and the person in the mirror is me, but not me, it's the idealized version of someone else in my mind. The mirror has two sides, one that reflects people and the other that covers people. Similarly, everything has two sides, good and evil are opposite and interchangeable. On the boundary between good and evil, it is neither good nor evil, it is unknown and ignorant. Love sets you and me free and binds you and me. If you and I want this love, we must accept all of it, whether it is good or bad.

One of the life books. You can read it often, and you will have new feelings when you listen to it again. If the poetry is OK, you can listen to real people for a better experience. It's a classic about love, children, and work. "All incentives are blind except with knowledge; All knowledge is in vain unless there is work; All work is in vain unless it is done with love. "

I read this book in one sitting, but this kind of book should not be read in one sitting like I did. It should be read from time to time, which may be easier to digest. I didn't really understand many places in the book, but there were still many places that resonated with me and triggered my insights and thinking. The views in the book are different. In my opinion, many of the author's views are idealistic, but I am indeed attracted by them. Maybe I will read it again when I have time in the future and maybe I will have a different understanding.

There are many shocking sentences, The first sentence that attracted me was: Unless it's time to say goodbye, love doesn't know its depth. Love gives nothing except itself, and receives nothing except itself. Love does not possess, nor is it possessed. Because love is satisfied in love.

His language is very profound. I think I will be able to understand it if I experience some more things and read some more books [currently in progress]

This book is like a dear friend, sharing every insight in life with you. The stories in the book are short and concise, but they can directly touch people's hearts and make me reflect on my own life. The author's writing is beautiful and profound, just like a cup of tea, making people feel peaceful and relaxed while reading.

Poetic and beautiful language can be used to explore the inner self, but language can never express the essence of life, because language is the product of yesterday, how can it be used to describe life that has come long ago? Using language as a stick may bring us closer to our inner selves.

The other me and I are never completely the same. The essence of things seems to lie among us...

It is worth recommending, can be thought about, and can be felt.

Not enough experience to understand

I like this book very much

Beautiful and delicate writing

I'm so lucky to have clicked in and learned from the process of seeking common ground while reserving differences.
