Some people tell you to "plan for the future", and others tell you to "live in the present", how should you choose

When talking about the present and the future, the past cannot be left out, right? And 99% of the people in the crowd are divided into three categories just like the above three timelines: Some people live in the past all their lives. Some people live in the moment all their lives. Some people live in the future all their lives. Then, we have to analyze what people who live in these three time periods will get when they stand at the end of life and look back, so as to distinguish the pros and cons of these three. To talk about income is to talk about wealth, and wealth in a broad sense can be divided into material wealth and spiritual wealth. Some people are rich, but suffer from severe depression and anxiety. These are people who have acquired material wealth but lack spiritual wealth. There are a lot of people like this. If you are surrounded by rich people who are willing to confide in you, you will find that most of them are like this. There are also people who are poor but happy every day. Today they do part-time jobs to earn more, so they eat roast chicken; tomorrow they win a small bet in the lottery, they are willing to go to the bar to order a Chivas Regal set meal. This kind of people belong to people who have acquired spiritual wealth, they have obtained the maximum happiness, and the problem of this kind of people is that they have poor ability to resist risks. He was happy yesterday and today, but suddenly one day, poof, something happened, and he was helpless because he didn't have much material wealth to support him. There is also a person you like, who is poor and mourned. Each of us has this kind of thing around us, so I won’t describe it in detail. In short, it’s a bad luck with a bag of money, the wallet is as dishonorable as the face, and there are few friends. Because no one likes to make this kind of friends who are nothing but complaining and borrowing money. They will make their good mood fall into the cesspit all of a sudden. The above three types of people, from the perspective of the timeline, correspond to the three time views of living in the "past, present, and future". The first person to live in the past is always the worst. Both material and spiritual wealth of this group are lacking. If you don’t believe me, think about the people around you. Do you often talk about the labor and capital being so powerful in the past, or the people who have been bullied for a lifetime, are most of them still struggling to make ends meet now? Because according to their logic, I was unlucky in the past and did not lay a good foundation, so I must be unlucky today. I am born with insufficient nutrition and malnutrition? It's all fate's fault. And I was able to carry lightning back then, which shows that my ability is not bad, so I am not doing well today, it must not be my problem, it is the society that has deteriorated, and the people's hearts are not old. It's all the fault of the times. See, people who live in the past, no matter whether their past is shining or shit, they all have reasons to find a reason for their unbearable today. Such people are the easiest to lose confidence in their current life. They always feel that their fault is not theirs. This is quite typical here. We don’t have occupational discrimination. Let’s just talk about a phenomenon. Are philosophers and artists two high-risk groups who live poorly and are not very happy when they are alive? Philosophers always sum up what happened in the past, which is more essential and more negative, to understand human nature. Artists, on the other hand, have seen too much of the beauty of the past. You see how amazing the works of the Renaissance are, and how magnificent is the art in Dunhuang? What are these works called now? Therefore, these two professions are exactly the two groups who lived in the past from the perspective of sorrow and joy, which also made them often discover the masterpieces left behind, but their lives are not brilliant. So remember, it is not advisable to live in the past. Every such person around you will have a bit of resentment. What you see today is the real him. In fact, as far as he is concerned, every day he , He who lived in yesterday. Try not to be this type of person. 2. A person who lives in the present has spiritual wealth but no material wealth. Every day, I see that the grain harvested from the one-acre three-cent field in front of me can boil a pot of meatballs. Most of the characters are optimistic. If you eat enough today, you can sleep today. Let’s talk about tomorrow’s matter tomorrow. ! Timely carpe diem, drunk life and dreaming of death, is the portrayal of this kind of people's attitude towards life. They obtain the greatest sense of satisfaction at the moment through the material in the hands of the trumpet and cutting off the vision of the future. But also because this crowd is too willing to consume, so sudden force majeure will always wait for them at a certain intersection and beat them up. At the same time, people who live in the present moment, for example, if they pick up a piece of meat today, whether they want to eat it or not, they will choose to eat it, how delicious the meat is! But tomorrow when they meet a hungry tiger, they immediately regret it, saying that the meat from yesterday is saved and thrown to the tiger, so that he won’t eat me... Conversely, if the tiger really didn’t eat him that day, for example If Wu Song is beaten away by a tiger, tomorrow, if this buddy picks up a piece of meat, he will still choose to eat it, and he won't worry about meeting a tiger again the day after tomorrow. Because the logic of this kind of people is: Why are there so many tigers? How can bad luck let me catch up every day? Yes, based on the above, it can be concluded that people who live in the present must be optimistic, big-hearted, have good expectations for the future, and have no memory or change. But no matter what, these people are realists. The one you see every day is the current one, and the cheerful one. They at least got a pleasant life experience-before they got into trouble. Three people who live in the future have a greater probability of obtaining material wealth than others, and the corresponding price is to give up spiritual wealth. We see that no matter the current far-sighted business owners or the ancient military strategists written in books, none of them went home after work and put on a red bag to go out to dance the big Yangko. All of them have the virtue of wanting to die, even high-ranking officials and dignitaries, BMW and Xiangche can't change their stinky faces like mourning and concubine. Because these people use experience every day to guess which one has gold coins, which one has excrement, and which one has dog's head in the cups squatting in the hands of the God of Destiny on the opposite side... Make this thing happy? And precisely because of their foresight, the probability of taking every step right is always greater than others, so wealth accumulation and social status are easier to be higher than others. Therefore, this group of people has the characteristics of engaging in mentality with themselves, disgusting themselves, and fulfilling the future. OK, these three categories are all clear, then return to the theme: you can count whether you should "live in the present" or "plan for the future". The answer is: It depends on what kind of person you are. According to Western values, they are more welcome to people living in the future, because the value orientation of the West is more extreme, even extreme in some respects. They are willing to work hard in one direction, and determine success or failure by wealth accumulation and life achievements, so the personality that lives in the future is what they advocate and admire. The advantage is that, to be honest, they have developed more modern technologies, but the disadvantage is that those who pursue the future have given up their mentality, so the big hands among them, do you think there are not many normal people? In China, therefore, everyone has to choose a balance between the present and the future that only suits them. For example, if you are a moonlight, earn 5,000 and spend 5,000, you ride a horse every day, enjoy the mountains and rivers, and be happy! At this time, you have to introspect yourself, do you have to live a little bit in the future, otherwise, sooner or later, when you are happy with good mountains and rivers, you will have to become poor and bad, so sad, right? Such people need to plan for the future, read books, enlighten wisdom, and enlightenment. While enjoying, they also have a sense of urgency. On the contrary, there are some types, such as me who is aggressive, all day long, as long as there is nothing wrong, I will perform sand table deduction during the day, and watch the stars at night, trying to comprehend the Dao! Then I realized depression. For people like us, we have to find a way to lower the balance point. In fact, since I changed my intentions, I found that even if the spring flowers are just blooming, the summer night fireflies, the autumn leaves are falling, and the winter forest is covered with snow, there is a reason between heaven and earth. The key is to walk around and see more, with the current "tool" to participate in the future "Tao", it is much happier than stepping on a horse and punching the void in the past! This is the person who is always thinking about the future, trying to live in the present. This article especially tells some young people that depression is high among young people nowadays, and many of them are scared sick by looking too much at the future. At a glance, ouch, the future is boundless, dark crows, how can I live? Just remember, no matter how the rules of the times change, there are winners in every era, even in the war years in the past, there were many wealthy businessmen who turned out, what you should do now is not to lie down! It is to support the bones of the body, the head of the spirit, and the guy who eats! If you become hard yourself, no matter which direction the true fire of Samadhi burns from in the future, you will also be a monkey who cannot die in the alchemy furnace. understand? Just looking at the future, Feng Xu Yufeng's pessimism is really screwed up. It is never wrong to start from now on in anything. This kind of comrades must know how to stand firm in the present, enjoy the present, and refer to the present—this sentence is also said to myself. And people who live in the past, as I said above, are the most disadvantaged group. Try throwing the past away first. Really, the past can't be changed, it's just a pile of shit, don't always hold it in your hands, put it aside if it smells bad, this stuff takes your hands! You can't even move bricks with your hands, can you? Don't treat all the problems left over from history as problems. The point where you stand now is the origin. The creation made the eyeballs of the two people in front, which means that we all look forward. Creation made swallows with big skins of people behind, which means that we should not keep turning back when we have nothing to do, and we can only make dung behind us. Understand the applause. These three categories are finished, don't forget that I wrote at the beginning that 99% of people fall into this category. What about the other 1%? This group is awesome, and they are all patients. They suffer from amnesia, bulimia, and farsightedness. They forget about the past, good or bad, and now is now. They are desperately trying to find the current resources, material and spiritual, which should be enjoyed and enjoyed, and they are all in their pockets. They also have a vision of the future, looking up at the road while lowering their heads to pull the cart. What is advanced life? This is. They threw all the shit out, ate all the food, and paved all the roads. I am trying to learn from others. That's all for now, but don't think it's chicken soup, I don't like it. This article is based on my own observations, a summary of what I saw in books, and a little bit of my own thoughts. I personally think that it is more focused on the methodology of setting things right. Regarding the understanding of time, I remembered that Manjushri Bodhisattva was called a different name in the Buddhist scriptures, saying: The Buddha Mother of the Third Age is wonderfully auspicious. These three times refer to the past, present, and future. Manjushri is a symbol of wisdom in classics. Does this count as telling us that if we adjust our balance of time, you and I can be a little smarter? In terms of materialistic interpretation, I think so.
