Editor recommended by Zhesi: the fourth is the master of the hall.

With the growth of age, some people say that the more experience, the more thorough you look, the more relieved you are and the less trouble you have. But in real life, this is not the case. As adults, we are not only parents' children, but also children's parents, employees or management of the unit, confidants and girlfriends of friends ..... The more we experience, the more people we know and contact, the more roles we play, and the heavier the responsibilities we have to bear.

Almost every day something new happens. Faced with these new situations, we are sometimes excited, sometimes depressed, sometimes anxious and sometimes lonely. We feel that anyone around us is happier, happier and more relaxed than ourselves. Sometimes, we even wonder whether our emotional intelligence is low and we don't work hard enough, whether we are unlucky, whether others are well-connected, and whether there are villains behind us ... Therefore, it is so difficult for us to live in a tense inner world and ask for indifference and calmness.

This chapter tells us that "Tao" always goes with the flow, and everything in the world has its inherent laws. We should learn the truth, learn simplicity, overcome all desires that violate the Tao and the natural laws of things, and let everything move towards stability and peace.

I have to be impressed by the simple and profound philosophical thoughts of the ancients. Everything in the world has its irreversible natural laws from birth, growth, development to extinction. Everything has its two sides. The revival of everything in spring and the vitality in summer cover up the decline in autumn and the silence in winter. On the earth, there are both the desolation of the desert in the north and the gurgling water in the south; There are towering plateau mountains and low-lying Lake osawa; There are both majestic rivers and trickling springs in the forest.

The same thing has different stages of development, and different things have their two sides. Man himself is a small universe, a small nature and a small world, and he will also experience various twists and turns. The happiness and unhappiness it causes, happiness and unhappiness, are actually things between people's own thoughts. My heart yearns for heaven, hell, smooth roads and deep valleys. After experiencing many things, revisiting the simple philosophy of the ancients two thousand years ago and returning to the realm of "impermanence of Tao and inaction", we will never be confused by appearances, always grasp the internal laws of things, always find the internal position, and gain a quiet and natural life.

Mr. Lin Yutang once said: "Happiness comes from sentiment". Yes, happiness and unhappiness are not given by changes in external things, but in the final analysis, they are a feeling in people's hearts. Tao Te Ching requires people to conform to nature and abide by its objective laws. In fact, it tells us to appreciate the vastness and generosity of nature, strive to build a broad mind for ourselves, create an instrument that can handle everything, and learn to tolerate all kinds of joys and sorrows of life with a normal heart. With a normal mind, there will be no fantasies that go beyond the laws of nature or run counter to your actual situation, and life will be full of many small wishes, less complaints, less resentment and less confusion. The so-called "being satisfied is not humiliating, content is not dangerous, and it can last for a long time" is the truth.

Jin Yong, the great hero, created a bizarre chivalrous world for readers in his novels. No matter how superb the martial arts inside are, no matter how superb the weapons inside are, the most powerful kung fu is always the simplest move, the most powerful weapon is always the simplest object, and flying flowers and picking leaves or even an embroidery needle can be a sharp weapon. This includes the philosophical thought of "Avenue to Simplicity".

Laozi's Tao Te Ching says: "Everything starts from simplicity and evolves into complexity". Everything is the simplest in the initial stage, such as a newborn baby, which is a blank sheet of paper. There is no concept of right and wrong and secular desire in its brain. Behind any complex appearance, there is a simple inner essence. For example, all kinds of complex natural disasters are nothing more than changes in wind, rain, lightning and mountains and rivers; All kinds of complex cultural thoughts and literary works are nothing more than simple letters and characters; All kinds of complicated mathematical and physical formulas are nothing more than the combination of Arabic numerals and measurement symbols; Various painting schools are nothing more than the arrangement and combination of seven colors; All kinds of complicated inner feelings are nothing more than anger, sadness, greed and ignorance. ......

I have been a secretary to a leader for many years. In order to master the work dynamics of the whole unit, leaders must master all kinds of data in real time, and the former secretary can't satisfy the leaders. The author designed a complete data table for the leaders, and collected all the key data related to unit performance appraisal and KPI appraisal into a table, which was updated regularly. Leaders are on call, on call and on standby. This is to simplify complicated things.

When I was working in a bank, I met a couple who had been arguing in the hall. It turns out that this is a middle-aged couple. The woman asked the man to give her living expenses every month. The man pays the woman monthly through WeChat. The woman is unfamiliar with the payment method of WeChat and thinks that the man is cheating on her feelings. After understanding the situation, the author taught the woman how to check the balance and how to withdraw cash, which helped the man solve the problem at once. In fact, these things can be taught by the man himself, if he can handle them calmly. However, the man obviously fell into the grievance misunderstood by the woman and constantly defended the other party, which led to the entanglement of things.

Therefore, simplifying complex things is also an important way to get peace of mind and calmness in life, but only if you keep a clear head and can't walk into a dead end or a dead end. A lot of human suffering is caused by being immersed in complex appearances. If we can look at the present situation from the perspective of the universe, we will certainly find another way and gain happiness.

You expect to be rich, but you can't eat three meals a day; You dream of a thousand buildings, but you can only stay three feet at night; You expect friends like clouds, but you only know one or two friends. All the prosperity fades away, and behind it must be the true meaning of simplicity. If you advocate simplicity, you can't expect too much, and you can't expect too much. But simplicity is not carelessness, recklessness and rashness, but an accurate identification and capture of the essence of complex things, scratching itching spots and sticking acupoints.

Therefore, inaction is not inaction, but conforming to the way of nature and acting reasonably according to the inherent laws of things, rather than being reduced to unrealistic dreams and chaos. Advocating simplicity is not advocating avoiding reality, but grasping the key core that determines the development of things through complex appearances.

In short, learn to do nothing, learn to move simply, and you can keep a calm heart and mind.
