False words, real life

False words, real life

By Anika AkterPublished 4 years ago β€’ 4 min read

When my old friend called, it was eight or nine o'clock last night. I didn't find it difficult to ask me for a toast to someone's 80th birthday. The words on the banquet were clear.

She still wrote a few words carefully. When she called her old friend, she said it was OK. After a few minutes, she called again and said it was wrong. It turned out that she wrote it to others at the request of others. Under her repeated requests for changes, I changed it more than 20 times and called more than 20 times. I suddenly found that the person who asked my old colleague to write a toast was really hard to wait on.

Even if the birthday star is an old hero who fought to resist US aggression and aid Korea and a retired cadre, he will not be so flattered for a birthday meal. Love to do, that is. Near midnight, my friend still called, but I was very tired. Tell my friends that it's not that I don't help. I'm exhausted. I'm going to sleep.

In all words, clear expression is the first, and literary talent is still needed. However, the respect of friends for the elderly makes me doubt. If the octogenarian is an ordinary person, will he still be like this? Don't just talk about him. We may be born on earth. We all have such different times, consciously or unconsciously.

Sighed gently, feeling depressed for the self righteous complexity of human beings. Is servility born or acquired? We please others, but we want others to give us more practical benefits, such as money, power, including all kinds of feelings of love.

Love is beyond the birthday itself. One night, my mind was full of longevity words. It was also a word I didn't have talent and couldn't write to please people. Thinking of this, he giggled. Remember having dinner with some friends yesterday. My girlfriend is a poem sister. She is very confident. She is going to write 1000 songs of "Xijiang moon". As soon as I see the words "Xijiang moon", I will think of her. Lovely little woman! Her poems have become a frank expression, not to please people, but to let her heart find a place to rest. Such literati talented women must have the premise of ensuring life, so as to indulge in their favorite words unscrupulously. Probably, if you think carefully, I belong to this kind. You can live a good or bad life. You are interested in money, but not too strong. If you are easily satisfied with material things, you will pursue the spiritual world again and again. That's all.

Another friend came back from Shanghai. He first met years ago. He was also a literati, but a literati based on survival. He transferred his love for words to life and made a living by using words. This is also a great wisdom of life, especially men. If they make their life unsatisfactory for the sake of words, they will always be laughed at. That's what the world sees. So the friend made a living by using the words he was good at. This is a wise way to get rich.

However, my friend said that he would take one of his mentor this time, which made me sigh. Because in my heart, everyone is an ordinary person in the world. Most of them are just talking. It's not easy to do it. Let alone a mentor, even their own people will have contradictions in front of silver for a long time. This is the bad root of human nature. I hope a kind friend will not be unhappy with his teacher because of this. Doing good with good intentions is the right way. Doing bad with good intentions is always a little regrettable. Here, I can only wish this friend the best.

Mother and sister-in-law went to the temple today. I think it's interesting. In recent years, I don't like fortune telling. I'm not afraid that life will become more and more interesting. I hate it and can't avoid it. How can I avoid the entanglement of luck and misfortune? Since you can't avoid it, you'd better not know it first. In this way, the heart will be quieter. The fortune tellers mentioned here have nothing to do with words. It is said that they, who have attained the Tao, do fortune telling for people in the first month and make a lot of money. When someone has a disaster this year, how can they crack it with silver? Who won't accept it? Those yellow silk amulets and amulets written in words are a kind of peace of mind that can be bought with money. Such words, Fu Rui, are real life in another sense.

There are several ways to be happy. One is to strive for happiness, the other is to pursue illusory happiness, and the third is dream happiness that you just want not to do.

Are words the spiritual life of dreams? Or attached to the reality of life? It also depends on who chooses the text to serve. It seems unfair to say that man-made words are false, but words that pay equal attention to truth and falsehood ultimately express what they are, but they really have their own merits.
