Thoughts on Reading Super Grandma Saga

Time is something that people are caught off guard. You can't seize the day, but you miss the past, steal your hair and get you back. Time is a journey of no return, and both good and bad are landscapes.

This is aunt saga's life.

In this book written by Yoichi Shimada, this grandmother, who belongs to the past era and only comes from ordinary rural areas, not only taught Yoichi Shimada the secret of happiness and the enlightenment of life, but also gave us the ability to endure, like a lamp, so that we can distinguish right from wrong in a cold world.

Grandma Saga said, "Happiness lies not in money, but in your state of mind."

I like this sentence very much, because this is the way society is now. "I am unhappy because I have no money." People seem to be firmly bound by this concept. In fact, it is not the world that has changed, but people themselves. Whether things are good or bad depends entirely on what people think.

Money is not enough, people can't eat in hotels, can't travel abroad, and can't afford brand-name clothes. People feel unhappy because of these, so they try their best to pursue the so-called "happiness".

However, Saga's grandmother, with a lifetime of unhappiness, raised seven children alone and survived the difficult post-war reconstruction years. Of course, life is not plentiful, but she is always so optimistic, cheerful and energetic, which brings Yoichi Shimada not endless suffering and sadness, but happy memories and comfort when she was young.

Moreover, this concept has influenced the author's life and determined his life path.

Redefine the feeling of happiness. The amount of happiness comes from the expectation of things, and the size of happiness comes from the satisfaction of things, the length of happiness, the length of immersion and satisfaction, the depth of happiness, and the depth of things in the heart.

Don't always envy others' happiness, go your own way, maybe you are being looked up to by others.

Few people live a wonderful life like grandma. Maybe this is a cliche, but what matters is not material, but inner feelings.

Grandma, who always smiles and says "Our family is poor and cheerful", is really happy and reluctant.

In that depressed era, Saga's grandmother still lived her life with a smile. Everyone wants a "good life", not for anyone, but for themselves. To understand life, we need to look back on the past, and to live a good life, we must look forward.

"Live your life the way you want, because this is your own life."

Only living like grandma can be regarded as a "good life". Life never deliberately owes anyone, it gives you a shadow, and it will surely shed sunshine not far away.

"The best thing the poor can do is to show a smile." Grandma said that smiling is a kind of wealth, because no one will speak ill of those who can still smile and work hard under difficult circumstances. In the old days when everyone helped each other, Saga's grandmother taught me how to face life optimistically.

Living is a kind of mood, whether it is rich or poor, whether it is gain or loss, everything is in the past, as long as you are happy, everything is fine.

Indeed, a smile is a kind of wealth. With a smile, there is trust between people; Smile, you can seize a rare opportunity; With a smile, you can get sincere understanding from others. Smile, life is beautiful, it is not the sunshine that makes the world bright, but your smile. As Chaplin firmly believes, there is no pain longer than happiness.

Grandma's situation is by no means easy, and the neighbors are well aware of it. Although no one shows concern, they will give something euphemistically or give more weight when selling things. The grandmother in the article has always said that the thoughtfulness that people can't perceive is the real thoughtfulness and real concern. What the neighbors gave to grandma's family was real consideration and concern.

In this era, society is cruel. When you are in prosperity, everyone is a friend. Some celebrities joked that they even had more relatives when they became famous. But when you are in adversity, the person who is willing to stay with you until the end is the friend worth making all your life.

It makes sense to think about this sentence now. Just like we never know how much our parents care about us. Friendship can be fragile, but the love of parents is like a trickle, even if spring is silent, it has a long history.

Maybe they didn't know anything, because of your existence, they became omniscient, and they changed just to give you the best.

Their thoughtfulness and concern are not that we don't understand them, but that they are too easily overlooked and missed.

"People, the most don't know yourself, the most clear others, because people only see themselves. So don't hate others. If someone says you are not good, it's just that you can't get along. " I can't believe such philosophical words came from Saga's grandmother.

But I think most people have experienced this situation.

Ask ourselves, we are always self-centered, only seeing our own good and others' bad. Always "like this person" or "hate that person". But the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. Maybe when you hate someone, someone will hate you. Everyone can't be perfect. You can't make everyone like you and you won't make everyone hate you.

There is a sentence in Jane Austen's book Pride and Prejudice: Prejudice prevents me from loving others, and arrogance prevents others from loving me. This sentence is very in line with the mentality of modern people. Because of everyone's arrogance and prejudice, we don't have to expect everyone to like you.

"Even if you are hated by two or three people, there are still 100 million people around you. People who like you may be hated by others. Even if someone says hello, there are still many people who hate you. " This is what Aunt Saga said, which not only inspired Yoichi Shimada's childhood, but also helped me immeasurably.

It is worth mentioning that this grandmother from Saga is a thrifty genius, which is not influenced by the social atmosphere at that time, but her own personality.

"Only things that can be picked up, nothing that should be thrown away."

This is aunt saga's life.

Saga's grandmother took care of the young Shimada Yozo in 378. Her love is illusory in the eyes of others, but it feels really solid.

Maybe happiness is like looking for some kind of light. Looking at the clear moonlight, please don't forget that there are some waiting, don't ask if you can, just understand and like the sunshine at night.

There is light on your back, and feel the place where love exists. In fact, it is always by your side.
