The most transparent way to live is to go with the flow and allow everything to happen.
What is a person's ultimate attitude towards life?
Wang Bo actually gave us the best answer a thousand years ago: unfulfilled but not discouraged.
After experiencing a rollercoaster-like fate, Wang Bo quickly regained his spirits.
He thought, since the court looks down on me, I will go to my father's side and fulfill my filial duty, so he set off on the road to Jiaozhi.
It was also on this journey that Wang Bo accidentally attended a banquet and wrote a timeless masterpiece at the banquet: (Teng Wang Ge Xu).
There is a line in the sequence that reflects Wang Bo's state of mind at that time: 'Though the North Sea is far away, the wind can still reach it; though the East Corner has passed, it's not too late for the mulberry and the elm.'
He said that although the North Sea is distant, one can still reach it by riding the wind; though the past has faded away, cherishing the future is not too late.
From here, it can be seen that he has accepted all the pain and disappointments, and still harbors endless enthusiasm and hope for tomorrow.
Just like a saying goes: with light in the heart, what fear is there of the desolation of time.
Everyone in this life will encounter endless setbacks and pain.
But what truly determines the quality of life is a person's inner choices and attitude.
If one views the world with a heart of sorrow, everything will be unbearably bitter;
If one approaches things with a joyful heart, everything will turn out just right.
In an impermanent life, those who allow everything to happen will never lead their lives into a dead end.
Han Yu once used seven characters to evaluate (Tengwang Pavilion): reading it can help you forget your worries.
Since the (Tengwang Pavilion) was published, it has been bringing spiritual strength to people, never ceasing.
It tells us a philosophy of facing adversity and disappointment in life, which is:
The more life descends, the more one should lift their smile.
Maintain the hope of endless life; even if temporarily suppressed, one day we will be able to wait for the sweetness after bitterness, and the turning of the tides.
