Real vitality is simply living.

Once I couldn't find my ID card, so I packed everything. The three characters "Break up" on the cover of the book in the corner are particularly dazzling.

I picked it up and blew the dust off. At sixes and sevens, I just sat on the ground and read this thin book again.

The so-called parting is to get rid of the waste in the room by abandoning and sorting things out, and then sort out your heart and make life happy.

Close the book, I clap my hands, open the door and throw out the useless garbage one by one.

One parabola after another sets off what I say from time to time: fuck your eggs!

As far as you can see, there are only desks and chairs, computers, bed cabinets, desk lamps, some books and chargers.

Later, I dragged my tired body back to open the door every day. The wind blowing outside the window is comfortable and refreshing, and my blood is revived, as if I had unlimited firepower.

Looking at the humble room, I think that in recent years, the overwhelmed heart has lived a complicated, impetuous and numb life.

In a flash, I was hit hard. Cleaning the space is only the starting point, and emptying the mind is the practice.

I really understand that changing the visible world is to improve the invisible spiritual world.

This book does not teach us to throw garbage, but reminds us to clear our minds and live simply.

Whether it is mint or watermelon, small taste or human touch, all the happiness in the world is simple taste.

There are always people who miss their childhood and often say: it was the happiest time for me to live to this day.

When I was a child, my heart was pure and simple. I will chase you and run in the rice fields and yellow chrysanthemums in autumn. I will look forward to the female students in the next class passing by my window, looking at the popsicle and thinking, ah! Great, great.

But why is it so hard to see a sincere smile on an adult's face?

My friends told me that it is responsibility, pressure and the cost of real life, which makes adults very tired, so their hearts will be cold and their faces will be stiff.

I said maybe, after all, happiness can't resist the complicated experiences of adults.

Walking through the lakes and mountains on the earth, I have seen dazzling things in the window, experienced the ups and downs of death, and missed the joys and sorrows of people in the past.

After repeated precipitation, people's hearts are gradually wrapped in layers of complex perception.

At a certain moment, either immersed in the brilliant achievements of the past, or lost in the uncertainty of the future, or unable to get out of the last failed relationship, or jealous of what you can't get.

Too many memories will make you miss, too many choices will be entangled, and too many desires will be blurred. In this chaotic and complicated contradiction, it is really not easy to say happiness.

Even if happiness is too difficult and unpredictable like the wind, some people still know how to have fun in suffering and how simple happiness is.

"Men will never mature, just like I am now. If I see a pile of cow dung on the roadside, I will still blow it up with firecrackers! "

For any man who has not lost his childlike innocence, it seems that sand sculpture is actually pure happiness, as simple as that.

Just like what used to make me dance, it was just a swinging water pipe.

Buddhist monks have a practice method called "meditation", which is now passed down from mouth to mouth: sit up, close your eyes, relax, concentrate and think nothing.

When I first learned to meditate, it was almost impossible to think nothing. There are always memories and small things colliding.

Now, if you meditate for a few minutes every day, you always have to experience some stormy waves before you can calm down and get into the state.

Quiet, clean and ethereal, that kind of pure and simple happiness can't even be described in words.

Like a quiet lake, like a faint forest, like a god at the moment, like this world has nothing to do with me.

Sit down and don't think about anything. Peaceful joy and advanced happiness are as simple as that.

The past can't be erased, and people's desires can't escape.

However, every minute, everyone has the right to choose happiness, but you forget the shortcut to happiness-let go of everything and return to simplicity and lightness.

After a long time, I didn't read a book from beginning to end in one breath.

I went to the library to study before the college final exam. One side is a book, and the other side is a mobile phone. Before the knowledge in the textbook is finished, my thoughts will be interrupted by the tips of my mobile phone. News from friends, updates to articles and induced advertisements are all distracting.

One day passed, the textbook turned two or three pages, and the notes were written three or two lines.

Later, I turned off the notification authority of most software on my mobile phone, and there was no annoying news notification.

But it still doesn't help. I will pick up my mobile phone every three to five times to refresh it, look around and unconsciously neglect my study.

I realized that what distracted me was not my mobile phone, but that I didn't have a pure heart.

One day, I simply lost my mobile phone and took only books, notebooks and pens to the library.

In one day, I finished the content of that course for a whole semester. The red and black marks on the book gave me great confidence. I didn't just have to cope with an exam. What are you afraid of?

Not only that, I also wrote a 2000-word composition. On the way back to the dormitory at night, I passed the track and field and sweated for two kilometers.

Before I went to bed that night, I was very satisfied and full because I turned that day into a normal month.

In that article, I wrote:

Do one thing, do one thing, focus on nothing, be simple and single-minded, this is the only way to be efficient.

Everyone is born a blank sheet of paper. You, me, him, there was no difference at first.

It's just that the natural environment in urban and rural areas, the social environment in families, the social environment in campus and the social environment in the workplace, like pens of various colors, are occasionally understated and occasionally highlighted on everyone's paper, and it takes decades to draw this picture of life.

At first, it was an innocent childhood. This paper is clean, and it can overlap each other well.

The years are mottled, and when I enter adulthood, the ink and paint are getting thicker and thicker, and most of the paper becomes messy and messy.

In the field of painting design and other arts, there is a particularly important creative technique-blank space, that is, when creating, the space will not be filled, but will leave a lot of blank space.

Zong Baihua, an aesthete, said: "The most important blank in Chinese painting is not a vacuum, but a place where the gas field flows from one life to another."

Ni Zan is a master of blank space. His pavilions on both sides of a river are not full of loneliness, but full of his epiphany on life. Qi Baishi is a master of blank space, and his shrimp jumps more freely in shallow water; Zhang Daqian is a master of blank space, and his plum blossom is oblique, which is his yearning for loneliness.

Art design needs blank space, landscape architecture needs blank space, photography needs blank space, and so does our life.

Blank works are not lazy, but set off the main body and have a wonderful overall situation.

A blank life is not to leave regrets, but to live simply and briskly.

Born in the Republic of China, Qian Zhongshu suffered hardships in the war-torn years, but still adhered to his simple initial intention. He devoted his life to literary research and literary creation, leaving the world with immortal masterpieces such as Fortress Besieged and Talking about Art.

In addition, there is a kind of love called "from now on, there is only death, not rebirth."

Qian Zhongshu and Jiang Yang, as famous scholars and writers in China, have achieved a perfect combination and cared for each other. They have used more than 60 years of poor dinners and acquaintance to explain what is meant by "wealth and life, growing old with your son, holding your hand and growing old with your son".

So how simple is a really good life?

Simple to do only one thing in your life, simple to love only one person in your life.

Laozi said: learning to be excellent is to be an official, but not to be proficient.

If you want to acquire knowledge, you should accumulate it day by day; If you want wisdom, you should fade away.

Two thousand years later, "breaking up" turned this sentence into 50 thousand words, but the so-called road to simplicity, the ultimate truth in the world, is all right.

Cut off, give up, get rid of the obsession in your heart, and let yourself live simply and lightly. This is the wisdom of practicing life.

Just like the sentence in the works of the writer Ma De:

The world seems to be very complicated around, with all kinds of people and mud, but it is still your own world in essence.

You are clear, the world is naturally clean;

If you are simple, the world will be difficult to be complicated.
