In this complex world, we often pursue profound and intricate concepts and convoluted methods. However, in many aspects of life, if we understand the power of simplicity, perhaps we can do better.
I've found that I can't do multiple things at once. When I have too many
things on my plate, I often don't do well, which is a kind of foolishness. My
personality is suited to doing one thing simply and consistently, and this
feeling has grown stronger in recent years. At 40, life is just beginning, or
rather, truly beginning. Before the age of 40, I was examining myself, taking
all sorts of tests about life. Testing my likes and dislikes, strengths and
weaknesses, the light and dark within me, my ability to handle stress, and
testing the inner self that I thought I understood but was often misunderstood.
The answers from the tests are increasingly inclined towards simplicity.
Doing one thing simply allows me to stay focused. A simple living space,
simple social interactions, and so on. Simplicity is a philosophical undertone
in my heart, it allows my life to approach purity.
I often find myself unable to adapt to and rejecting complexity. I am a
person with unstable inner qualities. I become like those I'm with, my inner
qualities tend to converge with theirs. When I'm with people who like to show
off, I also become more inclined to show off. When I'm with people who are more
gentle, I also become gentler. Sometimes, I become better in crowds, but it's
rare. I often find myself becoming worse, at least my inner qualities are no
better than when I'm alone.
If I realize that being with someone brings out the worst qualities in
me, such as selfishness, jealousy, hypocrisy, prejudice, fickleness, etc., I
will quickly distance myself from them, reduce contact ruthlessly, or even
naturally end the relationship. I hate the way I am when I'm with them.
I'm like a playful little lamb, unwilling to follow the flock towards
that hillside, because in my heart flows the ripples of a stream. You may find
the hillside lush, but I find the stream sweet. I choose to run happily towards
the stream.
What I'm writing here is all personal insights. If you find that I
belong to a category of people you dislike, then you'd better stay away from
me. Not every blogger on the internet with followers is worth following. We
should make some evaluations, examining the performances of others, as well as
examining our own hearts. If you happen to agree with these views, it means
that our spiritual undertones are somewhat similar, which is quite rare. Some
people may never find the similarities between each other even if they spend
their entire lives together.
