Forgive three people every day

Thread Content

There is a very famous dialogue in classical Chinese. Hanshan asked Shide, \"If people in the world slander me, deceive me, insult me, laugh at me, look down on me, or treat me with contempt, how should I deal with it?\" ”Shide said with a smile, \"Just endure him, let him be, avoid him, ignore him, tolerate him, respect him, and don’t pay attention to him. In a few years, you’ll see what happens.\" ” Such words actually contain many philosophies of life, and tolerance is an extremely important philosophy of life. Many people in my circle might say I’m cowardly. Yes! Am I weak? In your eyes, is it called bravery to be aggressive with others? Have you ever thought that it’s merely seeking temporary fame at the cost of enduring hatred for a lifetime? Why not learn to be tolerant? As the saying goes, planting good seeds yields good fruits. The opposite is a vicious cycle! Embracing a bit of tolerance will bring you another sky! Although I’m not very good at getting along with people, I forgive three people every day. The first one is myself. In this world, “nine out of ten things in life go wrong”; there is no perfection. Everyone makes mistakes and has things they are unable to do, and it’s impossible to gain everyone’s approval. When you remain immersed in self-blame for a long time. People can become pessimistic; meanwhile, mistakes not only don’t disappear but also occur more frequently in one’s life. So it’s important to keep smiling and be forgiving of yourself. The second one is your enemy. Just as Shide said! You should thank your enemy, for it is his ugliness that makes you appreciate the beauty of life even more. It will help you understand better what kind of happiness you want. The third are your friends and family. Because on your quest for happiness, the closer a friend is to you, the more harm they may cause you; yet that harm is often unintentional. Perhaps it was impulse driven by jealousy. So you need to forgive your friends, because they have given you help and joy in the past. In this life, there is nothing that cannot be forgiven. Let us practice tolerance in life; when we are at rock bottom, we must learn to open a window, for there will be more beautiful views beyond it. . .
