"In recent years, people have started to contemplate the meaning and value of life. Some believe that tomorrow and unexpected events are uncertain, and life is short. They find contentment leads to constant joy, and timely enjoyment leads to a broad heart. They think we should cherish and enjoy life, as we cannot stay young forever. Living in the moment, buying things we like, and doing what we desire.
However, others consider life as a long and challenging relay race, with ups and downs. They believe that as long as you keep moving forward, there's a chance for success. They view timely enjoyment as an exhilarant, igniting the brilliance of happiness, yet potentially accelerating the decay of life. Thus, moderation is essential.
Most people tend to choose timely enjoyment but forget that it's not genuine happiness; it's a way to find pleasure amidst hardships. All happiness is built upon unstable conditions and can lead to turmoil when life faces minor setbacks. This kind of life is fragile and cannot withstand the slightest disturbance.
Perhaps the essence of life lies in finding a balance. It's about cherishing the present, enjoying the happiness life brings, and having the persistence and patience to pursue long-term goals. In our ever-changing world, we need to learn how to strike a balance between momentary joy and enduring happiness.
In summary, life is not a black-and-white choice but a multi-dimensional experience. We might find our golden ratio between timely enjoyment and persistent effort, allowing life to thrive in the harmony of happiness and growth." |
