Plain Life

 

Maybe our life does not have the magnificent passion, the brilliance without success and fame, and we can't portray the rich and colorful scenery; maybe we are just ordinary members of all living beings, as tiny as dust and sand, weak as mustard, and passing through plainly. But our life is plain and true and natural, and calm and happy because of plainness.

After the passion is tranquility, behind the splendor is plain, just like the sea. When the tide rises, the stormy waves hit the shore, splashing like snow, although magnificent and unrestrained, but after the ebb, the waves are calm and the sea and sky are the same color, which reveals its vastness and profoundness.

A grass, no matter where it is born, is always unknown and uncontested. I don’t envy the uprightness of pines and cypresses, or the beauty of peony. I stand upright every day, receiving sunlight and showering in rain and dew; breathing in the fresh air and the fragrance of the earth; listening to the singing of birds and insects. Whispered. Even if autumn is here, don't be afraid; withered, don't regret it. Because it decorates the world with the green of life, because it knows that spring will come after spring.

Isn't it the same in life? After walking through the prosperous and hustle and bustle of the world, and reading the vicissitudes and changes of the world, you will understand that fame and good fortune are just the past, so you can't be greedy. Only the ordinary life is real and natural. Keep a truth amidst impetuousness and watch a dullness amidst temptation. Although this plain and this noisy world seems a bit incompatible, only the plain mind is the only pure land in this world.

A plain life is also calm and happy. Laugh to see the state of the world in the cold, leisurely appreciate the wind and the white moon. No matter what life gives us, we must accept it with confidence. You need to be a little calm in doing things, between pitching, calm and unrestrained, free and easy; a person should be a little indifferent, breeze and drizzle, moisturizing things silently, and at ease. Like a cloud, on the high blue sky, it drifts leisurely, rolls up and relaxes, all so naturally and smart; like a drop of water, flowing quietly among small streams, mountains and forests, thinking so happily every moment.

Indifferent is not mediocrity, not boring, nor doing nothing. What it embodies is an attitude of life, "It is not indifferent without ambition, and it is not quiet without going far." Perceive this world with a plain heart, without deliberateness, without hypocrisy, what this world will give you is true, natural, calm and happy.
