Life would be a paradise everyone dreams of; Life would be full of happiness and mysteries; Life would be valuable treasure.
But what about the life we’re living now?
We spend too reckless, laugh too little , get angry too quickly, stand up too late, getup too tired. We have multiply our possessions, but reduce our values. We talk too much , laugh too little and lie too often. We’ve learnt how to make a living, but not a life. We’ve added years to life, not life to years.
So we get more and more tired. Even a small failure can break us down. It’s time to change our minds.
The rabbis of old put it this way: “A man comes to this world with his first clenched, but, when he dies, his hand is open.” The art of living is to know when to hold fast and when to let go. For life is a paradox: it enjoin us to cling to it many gifts even while it ordains their eventual relinquishment.
Hold fast to life, but not so fast that you can’t let go. By always chasing after new goals, we’re never really appreciating what we already have right now. When I walked in the street one day, the sunlight hit me. Hoe beautiful it was, how warming, how sparking, how brilliant! I looked around to see if anyone else relished the sun’s gold glow, but everyone was going to or fro, most with eyes fixed on the ground. The I realize most of us, have been in different to the grandeur of each day, too preoccupied with petty and sometimes even meaningless concerns. At that moment, I came to know life’s gifts are precious---but we’re too heedless of them.
Surely we must hold fast to life, for it’s wonderful and full of beauties. We know that is so, but often we recognize this truth, only in our backward glance when we remember what was, and then realize that is no more.
We remember a beauty that faded, a love that waned. But we remember
生命是什么?许多人花了所有的时间寻找答案。
人生将是每个人的梦想,生活充满了幸福和神秘,生命将是宝贵的财富。
但我们现在生活的生活是什么呢?
我们花钱太鲁莽,笑得太少,太容易生气,站得太晚,起床太累了。我们拥有财富,却减少了我们的价值。我们说得太多,笑得太少,谎言太多。我们学会了如何谋生,而不是生活。我们已经增加了多年的生活,而不是生活的年。
所以我们变得越来越累。即使是一个小小的失败也能使我们破碎。是时候改变我们的想法。
老一辈*学者是这样说的:“一个人来到这个世界上他第一次紧握,但是,当他去世时,他的手是张开的。“生活的艺术是要知道何时取舍。生命就是一个悖论:它要求我们要珍惜它的诸多恩赐,而这一切最终作罢。
抓住生命,不要太快,不能让你走。总是追求新的目标,我们从来没有真正地欣赏我们现在已经拥有的东西。当我走在街上的一天,阳光打我。它的美丽,它是多么的温暖,多么的闪耀,多么灿烂!我环顾四周看看是否有人欣赏太阳的金色光芒,但每个人都会或回回,大多数人眼睛盯着地面。我意识到我们中的大多数人,都在不同的到了每一天的宏伟,过于专注于琐碎,有时甚至毫无意义的关注。在那一刻,我才知道生活的礼物是珍贵的--但是我们太不注意它们了。
我们一定要紧紧抓住生活,因为它的美妙和充满美丽。我们知道这是这样,但我们经常会认识到这个道理,只有在我们回首往事的时候,我们才记得当时是什么,然后才意识到这是不多的。
我们追忆逝去的美丽,一个已经消逝的爱。但我们记得
