Random thoughts about life

     In life, some people live by scheming and plotting, some by vying for power and status, and some by diligently striving for a living. "Life?" What is life? The definition of life differs for everyone. Some see life as going to work, coming home, eating, and sleeping. Some see it as eating, drinking, and having fun. Some see it as a single "point" in life. This point in life, I cannot understand. I want to understand it, but I am often swayed, swayed by my own heart. What is my heart swaying? I don't understand. Is it attachment? Is it being unable to let go? I think so! I seem to understand many so-called "grand principles" better than those around me, and I can articulate them eloquently. But! My heart has not truly achieved "letting go." I often want to become a "detached" person; the more I try to glimpse the secrets to eternal happiness, the more I fall into a state of "seeing flowers through a fog," my understanding only deepening my confusion. The principle of emptiness being form, and form being emptiness, seems so simple, yet achieving the state described within is so difficult.

    Actually, I'm a persistent person, and even more so, someone who can't let go. I think that's why my heart is so restless right now. There's a saying, "Nothing has moved, only the heart." I'm often swayed by the details of life, though I can't recall the specifics. The clearest memory I have is of thinking about the question of life itself. Whenever I think about this question, I feel very distressed. Why? It's like this: whenever I think about this question, I feel like I'm encountering a difficult problem in school, one I can't solve. Because I can't solve it, I'm troubled; because I'm troubled, I become attached, and that's why I can't let go. Is this just "making trouble for myself"? I don't know! In life, everything comes and goes, goes and comes. Everything is like flowers blooming and fading.

    We work hard all our lives, only to end up with nothing. Time flies by, leaving only a process. I know clearly that everyone's life is like a play, and no matter how well it's performed, it ends in death. In this process, we've experienced laughter, pain, tears, and hearty laughter. Some ask if it's worth it? I don't know! I don't know what "worth it" or "not worth it" means. When life isn't going well, I often think, "I'm living such an uncomfortable life." But then I think, that's just how life is; no one can have everything go smoothly. There's freedom, and there's discomfort. The two are inseparable. The more I try to "let go and be free," the more attached I become, the harder it is to let go. Is this also a test from God?

    Time flies! Day after day, year after year, it can't be held back. The past seems so vivid, the future seems so clear. Perhaps I shouldn't think too much. Sometimes, being simple and happy is a blessing. Maybe seizing the present is what I want most. Learn to let go of all the clutter in my mind, learn to be free.

Cultivating character and fostering friendship

  On July 13th, the third day of the "Sailing" social practice team, a new course—calligraphy—began. The students initially showed great interest in calligraphy. When the teacher brought calligraphy tools such as brushes and Xuan paper into the classroom, many students came over to observe curiously. The   class began with the teacher introducing the structure of the brush and how to hold it. The students watched with wide, curious eyes, then picked up their brushes and followed the teacher's steps to imitate the brushes. After correcting the students' grips, the teacher demonstrated a basic stroke in regular script—the horizontal stroke—on the blackboard. The students practiced on their paper, and their movements were quite impressive. Due to time constraints, the students only learned the horizontal stroke in the morning. In the afternoon, the teacher taught them the vertical stroke and the dot stroke. After practicing the basic strokes,   the students, under the te...

Living and working in the sunshine

To improve children's practical skills, help them understand the hardship of labor, and foster a greater appreciation for the fruits of others' labor and their current happy lives, the "Three Visits to the Countryside" team—the Qihang Social Practice Team—decided to conduct labor education. Labor practice is the foundation of labor education. The labor class focuses on practical work, integrating ideological education into the process. It organically combines ideological education with cultivating good habits and acquiring knowledge and skills, striving for a unity of practicality and education. Based on the actual situation, the Qihang Social Practice Team included "weeding on campus" in the labor curriculum. On the day of labor class, students brought weeding tools from home, such as hoes and sickles, to school. They lined up and marched to the school playground to begin weeding. Each class had its own designated area, and everyone spread out, each occupy...

Insomnia addiction.

 　　It's almost 3 a.m., and a torrential downpour is pouring down outside, seemingly trying to wash away the unpleasant, unspoken sorrows of the day. I, probably because I took a long afternoon nap, am still awake. I remember someone telling me to read some writing when I have time; it can be very rewarding. 　　Perhaps it's because I always have someone by my side when I encounter difficulties that I don't feel life is so unbearable. But ultimately, many people will leave. Maybe some things can only get better if you endure them yourself. 　　On these sleepless nights, I need to keep reminding myself that things will get better, that things will get better. Even though I know the current situation is terrible, and things might get even worse in the future, it's okay. It will all pass. Whether it's pleasant or unpleasant, as long as you want it to, it will pass, right?
