Wang Yangming： Life is not satisfactory, which stems from five kinds of unwise.

　　& care too much about gain and loss

　　Wang Yangming once said: "We study hard, only seeking daily decrease, not increasing. If you lose one point of human desire, you will regain one point of justice. How light and easy it is! "

　　Kung fu is decreasing, not increasing, so-called decreasing means removing the obscurity of material desires; If you reduce your desires, you will return to the ontology of conscience.

　　Reduce your desires and don't care too much about gains and losses.

　　In this world, fame and fortune are things outside the body, and life does not bring them, and death does not bring them.

　　Fortune and misfortune are unpredictable. It's easy to get and lose these things. What's the use of caring? People run around all day for external things, suffering from loss and suffering, and eventually lose their inner peace and become prisoners of desire. It is really a matter of giving up the root and chasing the end.

　　Don't take gains and losses too seriously, just let nature take its course and keep your peace of mind.

　　& Too concerned about other people's opinions

　　Wang Yangming once said: "No matter who laughs, no matter who slanders, no matter who is honored or disgraced, let him make progress and retreat."

　　Never mind other people's opinions, do your own thing in a down-to-earth manner, and you will get something sooner or later.

　　In this world, no matter what you do, gossip is indispensable. Don't let other people's eyes or words stop you from moving forward. Go your own way and let others talk.

　　The ancients said, "It's made by tacit understanding, but not by words.". In the face of those gossips, there is no need to defend anything, just do it in a down-to-earth manner, and those gossips will naturally disappear.

　　If you care too much about others, you will lose yourself in the eyes of others. As long as we look for the way forward, today's slander and ridicule will surely become applause tomorrow.

　　& Make a decision when you are angry

　　Wang Yangming said, "How can there be such biased emotions as anger in people's hearts? It just shouldn't be there. When ordinary people are angry, they can't control their feelings, and they will be angry too much. It is not the ontology of the Grand Duke. "

　　It is a kind of cultivation and wisdom to control one's emotions and relieve one's anger. To control emotions, on the one hand, we should pay attention to the usual training in small things, so that we can no longer be biased in looking at problems, maintain a neutral and peaceful position, and be neither extreme nor irritable. Over time, people themselves will have a peaceful and quiet temperament.

　　Usually be careful not to accumulate emotions. Anger is accumulated bit by bit. Always communicate and don't keep things in your heart. You can also stop communicating when you are angry, and then make plans when your emotions calm down.

　　& Often dislike others.

　　Wang Yangming said that there is no such thing as an unintentional thing in the world. Everything is a projection of human heart.

　　There is a story in the Book of Handicraft that when Yang Ming visited Nanzhen, his students pointed to the flower tree in the rock and asked him, "What does it matter to my heart that there is something unintentional in the world, such a flower tree, which blooms and falls in the deep mountains?"

　　Wang Yangming replied: "When you didn't see this flower, it died with your heart. When you came to see this flower, the color of this flower suddenly became clear. You will know that this flower is not outside your heart. "

　　What you see is what you have in mind.

　　Wang Yangming once said, "There are saints everywhere." A person's heart is quiet, and he abandons the vulgarity and ugliness and believes in a beautiful existence, then everything he sees is naturally beautiful.

　　& Always immersed in regret.

　　Wang Yangming's disciples once asked him how to get rid of weeds in his heart.

　　Wang Yangming replied: "If the grass is in the way, it is appropriate to go and go." Even if I don't go immediately, I'm not tired. If it means that the mind and body are tired, there will be a lot of anger. "

　　Weeds are harmful, of course, they should be cleaned up, but if they are not cleaned up occasionally, don't take it to heart. The more you care, the more chaotic your heart will be. If you stare at that piece of weeds that have not been removed, your heart will be full of distractions.

　　Life is unhappy, nine times out of ten, who has a painful struggle, but in the face of these "regrets", you must know how to let go. The more you care, the more chaotic your heart will be, and the whole person will be controlled by emotions.

　　Don't remonstrate with the past, but those who come can still be chased. Don't be immersed in regret, let go of the past and embrace the future.
