There are two things in life: busy, sober, idle, confused.

01

some people say, "there are two things in life: being busy and doing things soberly." Be idle and be confused. "

being confused is not only a kind of mentality, but also a kind of correction.

in the eyes of Confucius, confusion is "golden mean", in Laozi's view, confusion is "inaction", and in Zhuangzi's mind, confusion is "carefree".

know in my heart that being confused on the face is not a state of being a human being.

I remember such a story:

two people who fell into the water. One has excellent eyesight and the other suffers from myopia.

the two drowning men struggled on the wide river and were soon exhausted.

suddenly, the one with good eyesight saw a small boat drifting towards them not far ahead. The one who suffers from myopia also saw it vaguely.

so the two men plucked up their courage and swam hard towards the boat.

swimming, the one with good eyesight stopped. Because he saw clearly that it was not a boat, but a piece of dead wood.

but the nearsighted person doesn't know it's a piece of wood, and he's still swimming hard.

when he finally reached his destination and found that it turned out to be a piece of dead wood, he was not far from the shore.

the one with good eyesight lost his life in the water, while the one with myopia was reborn.

there are many things that are better than those who do not know, those who are not smart are better than those who are smart, and those who are not smart are better than those who are smart.

this is what people often call "rare confusion".

Mr. Ma Yinchu, a famous economist, said: "if there is no other reason, you will live for a hundred years." Its profound moral lies in this.

in fact, life is always confused, happiness and happiness are hidden in confusion.

once sober, all happiness and happiness may disappear.

Zheng Banqiao once mentioned many famous plaques, among which the most popular ones are "rare confusion" and "loss is a blessing".

he wrote down the words "rare confusion" and "loss is a blessing", and added a note under "rare confusion": "it is difficult to be smart, it is difficult to be confused, and it is even more difficult to move from being smart to being confused." take a step back, and feel at ease at the moment, not for good fortune later. "

add a note under "losing is a blessing": "those who are full lose the opportunity, those who lose gain gradually, those who lose themselves gain the other, and each get half of the mood, and the peace of mind is peace, and peace of mind is there." These lines of postscript are not only Zheng Banqiao's interpretation of the two characters, but also a summary of his own mental self-cultivation and philosophy of life.

in life, to be able to suffer losses is a state of being, and to suffer losses is a kind of wisdom in dealing with things.

the mind should be simple, people should be confused, care less, and don't worry about trifles, so that they can live freely and comfortably.

Mu Xin said: "there is always a kind of confusion in the world of good people."

Bai Yansong said: "the two basic points of life are to be foolish and smart."

some time ago, there was such a thing on the Internet:

the delivery boy accidentally had a car accident on the way of delivery and collided with an uncle riding a motorcycle. Although both of them were fine, the goods were almost completely destroyed. This means that the efforts of the two people who are working for their lives have been in vain.

but afterwards, what they did was unexpected:

the takeout boy and uncle did not continue on their way, but raised their glasses to drink together on the spot. If there was anything big, they would dry this glass of wine and talk about it and bother them again.

"A person's life is to go through one hurdle after another, and when anyone hasn't fallen into a mess, he can only lie down for a while where he falls. If life has really taught me anything, it is to enjoy failure. "

Yes, what you have is a fluke, what you lose is your life. In the most difficult time, it is better to be confused than to worry about gains and losses.

stupidity is not foolishness, nor ignorance, but a kind of bearing, a kind of self-cultivation, but also a kind of realm.

when people live a lifetime, there is no need to take anyone or anything too seriously. sometimes we have to live a little confused, a little more comfortable, a little more casual, and turn a blind eye to life. This is to let go of ourselves and others. If you look at those who care too much about others, they are likely to be unhappy.

if you are confused with your friends, you can get it without paying; if you are confused with others, you can win trust; if you are confused with your lover, give him freedom and give yourself space; if you are confused about things, the boat will be straight when you get to the bridge.

if you are confused about money and interests, you will not hurt your friendship; if you are confused in human calculation, you will have a clear conscience; if you are confused in your struggle for fame and fortune, you will not use your brains; if you are confused in gossip, you will not tire your ears.

Life is less than a hundred, so why worry about a thousand years old?
