Life Reflection in Journey to the West

Yesterday, I was chatting with a friend about a question someone threw her. "How can you make yourself more comfortable?" The friend said that she couldn't think of an answer to this question, and she didn't plan to continue thinking about it. Now, I told her, adapt to the society, adapt to the environment, and please the people around you, and you will live comfortably. I tried to explain this problem to her using a combination of Westward Journey and my high school, but I failed.

I need to re-understand.

【Chasing yourself】

For Bai Jingjing, the Supreme Treasure always believed that Bai Jingjing was the love of his life from the pursuit, being an enemy, understanding, accompanying, waiting, going through life and death, and even the day of marriage. Changed, I fell in love with others, and everything I paid for it was instantly disintegrated and became empty.

Everything in the world eventually became empty, and only Tao was ordinary at that time.

There was a time when I couldn't let go of my high school days, whether it was my studies or my relationship with my classmates. I often think, if I didn’t insist on having someone to accompany me at the time, I didn’t care about her devaluation of myself, and I worked hard to focus on my studies, would everything be different? So, I entered a company, put myself very low, obsessed with solving everything that happened in front of me, and abstracted everything around me into my high school days. At that time, I really tried my best, and I felt the unprecedented Focused and practical, gradually accepted by the environment, I thought I would continue like this. It wasn't until one day that I had a dispute with a colleague, not because of my job, that I realized that my tmd had changed.

Everything in high school has long gone with the wind at the end, and there are some things to keep in mind: the present moment will never change the ending of the past moment, and the ending of the present moment will also go with the wind sooner or later. Since it is such a result, what can I do?

【Bai Jingjing and Spring Thirty Mother】

Gratitude and resentment, endless, today I will crush you, tomorrow you will crush me, who is wiser than whom? Who hates whom more? But not reconciled.

I met a colleague A. From the first meeting to the enemy, I once regarded her as me in high school, and I became the female classmate who wanted to be close but kept fighting. After the roles were changed, I found that the original I have always hated myself back then, otherwise why would I want to change her so much. Later, I met a colleague B. From the first meeting to the dispute, I once regarded her as myself a year ago, and I became colleague A in a trance. After the roles were changed again, I slowly began to understand the situation A was in at that time. Circumstances, pressures, things done. Later, a group of smart people came, and they saw A, B, themselves, the environment they formed, and some phenomena of the social jungle in this society. Only then did I understand that the one who had been bothering me for a long time. There is something called "humanity" and it exists in everyone and lives around everyone.

Why did the fist that was punched out finally hit him back? Because I have all the characteristics of "human nature", knowing this, what can I do?

【A Dog】

What can I do?

Let go of ego and conform to human nature.
