Life needs to be blank, so that the mind can be broad and life can be full of color.

When I go to work on weekends, my colleagues ask me how to plan the wall of the living area. What picture to hang? On second thought, I said there was no need to hang it everywhere, but it was necessary to leave a blank space appropriately. She nodded thoughtfully in agreement. The living area in the ward is relatively narrow and the light is not very good. If piled on the wall again, it will give people a sense of crowding, which is counterproductive and is not conducive to the relaxation of medical staff.

The word "blank space", a word I like, is simple and plain, neither graceful nor beautiful, but as long as you read it gently, there will be a faint fragrance on your face, and a pure beauty that will not be carved will linger in your heart. That kind of beauty can only be tasted secretly. I can't say anything, I can't say it, as if I lost my original charm as soon as I opened my mouth.

Blank is not vacancy, nor is it pale. Blanking gives people a high-level artistic conception of not winning, winning more with less. Ma Yuan, a painter of the Southern Song Dynasty who is famous for his "blank space", has a boat, an Weng and some paintings in light ink, which are empty. However, it is this kind of blank that gives people unlimited imagination and makes people feel that the smoke is boundless and the whole painting is water. As the saying goes, "there is nothing better here."

I like landscape photography pictures with plain background, large blank space and proper tone. Although the picture is simple, it is memorable and makes people feel like they are in an infinite space.

I love flowers, too, and I especially appreciate the blank space used by flower arranging artists in the art of flower arranging. Just a leaf and a flower, the artistic conception will come to my face, elegant style, full of Zen, embellishing the whole room.

Today is a materialistic society. We live in a noisy material world, flooded by houses and cars, flooded by money and fame. Blindly pursuing material comforts, I always feel that it is not enough, too much will never be satisfied, and even the pressure is getting bigger and bigger, so I dare not stop half a step and keep making a forward gesture. Unconsciously, I was enslaved by material things and lost my soul and self.

I no longer blindly pursue the accumulation of material wealth, but choose to accept moderate "nothing" and abandon unnecessary items, preferring to live a simple life and prefer simplicity. In fact, there are not many things a person needs to maintain his life and health. Pursue a simple and pure life, not blindly following, not greedy. There is only one spoon and one leaf in the whole autumn, so it is good to live easily.

When you are tired of running around, you should unload your baggage in time, cut down the complexity and simplification, drive away the noise and chaos, leave some gaps in your life, leave some time for yourself, be alone properly, talk to yourself, think quietly, relax quietly, release yourself and look at your emptiness. Calm down and relax. Quietly face a flower, a tree, a cloud, a mountain and a water, integrate yourself with nature, enjoy more wonderful poems in life, and gain spiritual freedom.

Pursue the simplicity of interpersonal relationship, a friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and everyone has a pure land in his heart, where his secrets and feelings are buried, which is a forbidden place for others to set foot in. Keep a certain distance between people, don't be too enthusiastic, don't cross the bottom line, just pay attention, understand and appreciate from a distance. Distance is the blank of friendship. Leave a gap in friendship and give each other enough breathing space. Just like the stars and the moon, they shine and warm each other.

Gold is not enough, and no one is perfect. In interpersonal communication, you should forgive others as well as others. When accusing others of their faults, don't seize a little reason and "pester and beat" mercilessly. The ancients said, "Words are inexhaustible". Blaming others for their mistakes needs to be left to others. Try to use euphemistic language to let them understand naturally, leave a little blank for each other, leave a retreat for others, and leave opportunities for others. This will make people feel grateful to you and eventually make things smaller and smaller. Why not?

Life is too complicated and crowded to see the road ahead clearly. Life needs to be blank, desires should be appropriately reduced, interpersonal relationships should be simplified, and life should be treated indifferently. Every day, you should zero your mind, empty your garbage in time and get rid of unnecessary troubles. Release the space of the soul, let the soul shine in the breeze and the moon, and let the soul broaden the sky.

Leave some gaps in your life, give yourself more free time and space, and temporarily get lost in books or nature, but you will live more comfortably, walk wider and farther, and make your life glow.
