(Global Village Department Chat - Tianshi Notes vii)
A chicken intestine with a small belly is difficult to make into a tool, but it is generous enough to accommodate people and the world.
2. Leisurely and contented
Hui Lan: You seem to be leisurely and contented all day long.
Jin Yu: Wouldn’t it be nice to show off a little? What does it mean to be leisurely and contented?
Hui Lan: Do you want a Chinese explanation or an English explanation?
Jin Yu: Have your cake and eat it too.
Hui Lan: The Chinese explanation is: leisurely, comfortable, and calm. The English explanation is: be carefree a.
Jin Yu: Half of your contribution is here.
Huilan: What credit do I have?
Jin Yu: You make sure that I have no worries about food and clothing. This is the prerequisite for leisure and contentment. If you worry about food and clothing all day long, where will leisure and contentment come from?
Huilan: As long as you know.
Jin Yu: Of course I know. I am not an ungrateful person. Remember the kindness of others, and happiness will follow you.
Hui Lan: Money is not everything, and nothing can be done without money.
Jin Yu: This is the economic basis for all human activities. But if people’s hearts are not strong enough, they will become even more worried.
Hui Lan: The more you have, the more you want to have it. It’s human nature. What is contentment?
Jin Yu: It’s hard to describe in one sentence, and it varies from person to person. As the great philosopher Socrates said: “The less we need, the closer we are to gods.” After visiting a market once, he said: “It turns out there are so many things in the world that I don’t know.
Something needed.”
Hui Lan: He is a great philosopher, how can we compare?
Jin Yu: This depends on one’s cultivation in this world. Privately, I think I am getting closer to his requirements.
Huilan: Why do you want to practice to become a god?
Jin Yu: That’s a good question. The beauty of leisurely contentment is all in it. If everyone could be leisurely and contented, the world would be a thousand times better.
Hui Lan: It doesn’t cost money to talk big, so just brag as hard as you can.
Jin Yu: Why bother bragging? It’s obvious. A leisurely and contented person will not cause trouble, stir up trouble, blame others, bully the market, be arrogant, self-righteous, or blindly arrogant.
, I don’t know how to bully others, I don’t know how to be arrogant, I don’t know how to be petty, I don’t know how to be jealous of talents, I don’t know how to sneak around, I don’t make things out of nothing, I don’t know how to make things fly, I don’t know how to darken the sky and the earth, I don’t know how to make smoke... Isn’t it thousands of times better?
Hui Lan: If I don’t know anything, what else can I know?
Jin Yu: reading, enjoying the scenery, photography, playing the piano, walking, hiking, running, swimming, mountain climbing...
Hui Lan: There are too many to count.
Jinyu: How about it? You are not just bragging, right? Some developed countries have advocated a slow life, which is not about eating enough. Only by understanding the true meaning can you make a difference. The earth needs to be taken care of, and everyone will suffer if it is destroyed.
Hui Lan: There are indeed many benefits, but it is not easy to achieve. Carrots and greens are better, I hope everyone has their own preference.
Jin Yu: "The road is long and long, and the road is far away. I will search up and down."
Hui Lan: You can go away leisurely, I'm still busy cooking for you.
Jin Yu: You are material, and I am spiritual. When material and spirit join forces, there will be no sorrow in the world.
Hui Lan: The marriage of material and spiritual things is good news to the public.
Jin Yu: You and I share what we need and what we don’t have, so we can be said to be happy rather than thinking about Shu.
