Life is nothing more than that
"
an uncle
there is such a story:
while Socrates was discussing problems with his students, his impatient wife scolded him for some trifles.
Socrates ignored it. Unexpectedly, his wife was so angry that she splashed a bucket of water on his head.
the students looked at each other with fear, and the scene was very awkward for a time.
A few words instantly dissolve the embarrassment, but behind the humor, the man's tolerance of his wife is even more moving.
seeing Socrates' attitude, his wife calmed down, and then she unexpectedly brought a cake to show her kindness.
Life is only in a hurry for decades, the more we experience, the more we can understand that many things in life are ultimately impossible for ourselves.
so, today, my uncle wants to share this book "Life is nothing but this" with the book friends. I hope you can understand after reading it:
in this world, there are beautiful scenery and pleasures everywhere. Sometimes, as long as you open your heart and be tolerant, happiness will follow.

is broad and tolerant, which is a kind of bearing
as the saying goes, "tolerance is great."
people should have a tolerant heart and be able to tolerate things that cannot be tolerated in the world.
We should learn to tolerate people who are different from our own views, especially those who have contradictions with ourselves, so as not to lose the grace of being a man.
the Dream window Zen master of the Tang Dynasty was highly respected and respected.
once, when he was crossing the river by boat, as soon as the boat left the bank, a voice came from a distance: "wait for me, wait for me to take me there!"
when everyone saw it, it turned out to be a general riding a horse and carrying a knife.
Our silver evening dresses are defined by fine fabric and lasting pulchritude. Click here to get your desired and most preferred garments.
all the people on board said, "the ship has already left, so let him wait for the next one."
at this time, Master Dream window, who was sitting on the bow, said to the boatman, "Boatman, this boat is not far from the shore, so it would be convenient to turn over the bow and take him across the river!"
seeing that it was a magnanimous Zen master asking for mercy, the boatman turned around and let the general on board.
but the ship was full, when the general saw the Dream window Zen master sitting on the bow and shouted rudely:
"Old monk! Get up and give me your seat! Didn't you see General Ben get on board? "
the Zen master offered his seat to the general without saying a word.
all this was seen by everyone on board, and they felt aggrieved for the Zen master.
said one after another: "the general is really an ungrateful man. The Zen master begged the boatman to carry him, but he ended up treating the Zen master like this!"
the general seemed to understand something from everyone's discussion and was very ashamed, but because of face, he had to pretend that nothing had happened.
until the boat reached the other side, and everyone got off the ship, the general went up to the Zen master and said, "Zen master, I was so rude. I'm really sorry!"
the Zen master said calmly, "I don't blame you, and when you are away from home, people will inevitably be in a bad mood."
when the general heard this, he became more and more ashamed of what he had done on the ship. He wanted to worship the Zen master as a teacher and learn such a mind.
the Zen master replied:
"the grace of being lenient to others is actually in everyone's heart. As long as you can be more considerate and less blaming no matter what happens in the future, you will naturally learn."
"Yanshan Night talk" says: "A gentleman can tolerate what people cannot bear, what they cannot tolerate, and what they cannot do."
dealing with others with a tolerant mind is a kind of wisdom that every one of us should have.
in the face of the general's rudeness, the Zen master showed no concern, no malice, and showed kindness to others, which is a kind of tolerance.
to deal with the world, know that enough is enough, learn to use a tolerant heart, to tolerate, to understand, in order to untie your mind.

tolerating the loss of others is a kind of kindness
someone asked God, "if someone in life scolds me, deceives me, humiliates me, shames me, despises me, and humiliates me, what should I do with it?"
God said, "just put up with him, forgive him, avoid him, follow him, let him, ignore him, wait in silence, and I will tell the difference between right and wrong."
this dialogue shows the beauty of tolerance in life.
if you forgive others, God will naturally set a wider path for you.
as the saying goes, those who are happy will come, and those who love to return will love to go.
leaving a glimmer of leeway in everything is not only a kind of kindness, but also a blessing sometimes.
in the Spring and Autumn period, one of Qin Mu Gong's good horses was caught by rural people in Qi and ate them secretly.
the officials of the State of Qin seized these people and planned to deal with them severely.
Qin Mu Gong, who knew about this, said:
"We cannot use punishment to damage the bodies of more than 300 people for the sake of the loss of one livestock. I heard that if you eat the meat of a good horse, it will be bad for your health if you don't drink it. "
so he gave them a reward for wine and released them.
later, the Qin and Jin dynasties fought a war in Hanyuan. The three released this timeHearing the news, all the villagers volunteered to go to war.
when Qin Mu's chariot was besieged, it was this group of people who risked their lives to save him from the encirclement of the Jin army in order to repay his kindness.
if Qin Mu Gong did not have the goodwill to tolerate the loss of others, then the chance to save his life would have been lost in the Battle of Han Yuan.
people with a broad mind can easily erase many unnecessary disputes in life because they can tolerate mistakes.
as the saying goes: a great wise man must be modest, and a great wise man must be tolerant.
the heart is an inch wide and the road is one foot wide. If the heart cares, there are complaints everywhere. If the heart is relaxed and everything can be tolerated, then happiness will come naturally.

magnanimity of tolerance is a realm
tolerance is not only a kind of virtue, but also a kind of realm.
the broadest thing in the world is the ocean, the sky is wider than the sea, and the human mind is wider than the sky.
because people have a big enough mind and know how to judge others by themselves, they can tolerate more people and things.
Mr. Liang Shiqiu has been tolerant, loving and humble all his life, so many people are willing to associate with him and call him "my friend Liang Shiqiu".
tolerance, but also let him gain a great reputation and many friends.
on one occasion, Mr. Liang Shiqiu went to attend the anniversary speech of normal University at the invitation of his good friend Liu Zhen. The speaker at that time was late for some reason.
the teachers and students present were really a little impatient, and several teachers sitting next to Liang Shiqiu were even full of dissatisfaction with the speaker.
the headmaster waited a long time, so he asked Liang Shiqiu, who was present, to come to the stage and say a few words to save the scene.
Liang Shiqiu did not like to play such a role, but he was afraid of hurting the principal's face, and because such an occasion really needed to be dealt with, he gladly agreed to it.
he stepped onto the stage and said with a touch of humor:
"in the past, in Beijing opera, before the real play was staged, we used to find a second-or third-rate role to jump on the stage and promote officials, so that the protagonists in the background would have plenty of time to prepare. I am now ordered to jump out and become an official. "
the words made the whole audience roar with laughter. They not only relieved the late speaker with their own broad-mindedness, but also calmed the anxiety of the teachers and students present with this open-mindedness.
the previous teachers who gossiped were even more influenced by Mr. Liang to relax and stop complaining.
most of the time, between people
unhappiness stems from different positions on things.
but forget that there are infinite possibilities and accidents in life. When you encounter contradictions, tolerance and understanding is the easiest way to go
that way.
tolerance and magnanimity, that is, to be considerate of other people's mistakes, not to be bitter, not to haggle over pennies, and to be a generous person.
as my husband said in the book "Life is but this":
"Life is just a journey that comes and goes again and again. Happiness and sorrow are life, and bitterness and sweetness are life.
people live, inevitably encounter unpleasant things, do not like the people, if everywhere, is constantly internal friction, so that their physical and mental exhaustion.
in this short journey, it is better to be more tolerant, be sympathetic to strangers and not calculate the giving and return of love to those close to you.
when you learn to see some people clearly and look down on some things with a tolerant heart, you will find that life is nothing more than that.
the human heart is like the road, the more deliberate, the narrower; and the more tolerant, the wider it will be.
