Take a picture of yourself.
When I was in my 70s, I was ready to die. My supervisor made a satisfactory coffin, chose the shroud prepared by her daughters, and ordered my sister-in-law with a photography studio to take a photo that she was satisfied with.
Grandma decided to take a photo by herself, probably on her 75th birthday. She said, "GZ is free, so take a beautiful color photo for me. In a few days, I'm afraid I'll be blind. Take a picture while my eyes are fine. When I die, the photos in the mourning hall will look kind and not scary. "
Grandma really lost an eye shortly after she took the photo. After recovering from the operation, she said, "Fortunately, the photos have been taken, otherwise it would be scary to hang a blind note when you die."
Grandma's photos were put in her shabby dowry cabinet and often taken out to be polished until she died at the age of 86. Although she was ready to die, she was still reluctant when she passed away. She left a sentence "You should make your family filial and harmonious" to the children present, and bid farewell to the people in the world and the people she cared about with all kinds of regrets and reluctance.
It's certainly lucky to die like grandma. However, life is impermanent. What you think will last one second will leave you the next. You don't even have the strength to cry, you don't have the courage to talk to people, and you even think talking to people is unnecessary. Life is the same, impermanence.
To live is to live hard and seriously, even if you encounter very painful things. Try to be elegant when you die, even if there are more regrets.
I wonder, if I die, what kind of photo will my family find to hang in the mourning hall? How will people who know me remember me? What will be written in the master of ceremonies' manuscript at the farewell ceremony? ……
You will find that when you come into this world, at the end of your life, you can't decide anything at all, and you can't take anything away.
So, I think, I can't decide how people will remember me after I die, and I can't review the manuscript of the master of ceremonies for the farewell ceremony, so just choose a photo I like in advance, right? I even think that the studio should develop a business with the theme of "My legacy is my master", and provide photo service for those who have a boring life and those who have a thorough life or are indifferent to life and death. If there is, I will definitely become a consumer of this business, take a photo every five years and store it in an album. On the day of need, my family can go to the photo album and choose a photo closest to the day of my death without any embarrassment.
I said above, how people will remember me after I die, and what the master of ceremonies will write at the farewell ceremony of my body. These are beyond my control and not entirely true.
If I can really persist in mindfulness in my lifetime, fight against the secular survival laws and development standards to the end, and achieve tangible human achievements under the guidance of my own value standards, then people will praise me as a clean stream in the mud of the world, which may inspire those who really have kindness and can withstand scrutiny and bring them some persistent encouragement. If I refuse to waver for half an inch because I insist on the value of my own people, and I will achieve nothing until I die, people will take me as a negative example and warn people that if people live in the secular world, they have to be laymen, and don't be as lofty as that and achieve nothing.
It's late at night. If you can't sleep, you have to sleep. Even if it is not for health, we should respect time.
Hold up a cup of green tea to the night: thank you for not killing anything today!
If you wake up alive in the morning, sincerely respect Chaoyang: thank you for not killing anyone last night!
