People, don't be too idle
Beautiful morning light, accompany you to read.
leisure is a blessing, but too much leisure is not.
as Lin Yutang said:
people who are too idle have nothing to do all day, but are apt to worry about gain and loss.
therefore, too much leisure is not a blessing, but a disaster.
01
people are too idle and have wishful thinking
have seen a "tickle law":
worry is the same, too easy to think, always think about those troubles, the result is more and more irritable.
people, once they have nothing to do, they are prone to wishful thinking and distractions.
during the epidemic last year, an uncle's restaurant in my hometown closed down.
he, who used to be busy with business every day, suddenly became idle.
his family comforted him and let him take the opportunity to rest for a period of time and adjust himself.
at first, he was so happy that he could finally have a rest.
because of the epidemic, he is not allowed to travel and play at will. He can sleep until noon every day, and his wife calls him when the meal is ready.
all day long, he either plays with his mobile phone to watch TV or does nothing, which makes him even more unhappy.
faced with the daily expenses of the family, the school fees of the children, and the medical expenses of the parents.
he is getting more and more anxious, insomnia every night, lethargy during the day and frequent headaches.
he told his family that there seemed to be something wrong with his health.
you can go to the hospital for examination, which shows that he is in good health.
when he got home, his aunt said to him:
if so, after my uncle did the housework for a few days, his headache was relieved and his mental state was better.
when you are idle, you will have miscellaneous thoughts, and when you are idle, you will have chores.
people are too idle to have time to think about those messy things.
in life, we can often see some people feel sorry for themselves and are very unhappy.
because they are too idle to live up to their ambitions, they are vexed.
when you are busy, you don't have the time and energy to think.
being busy is the cure for all troubles and hypocrisy.
02
too much leisure will destroy a person
Roman Roland said:
A busy life will make people live a full life; a life that is too idle will make people live a decadent life.
you know, the best way to destroy a person is not to flatter him, but to let him idle and waste his life.
I have seen such a story:
Aunt Zhang is a single mother who worked very hard when she was young.
her son is married and she is retired.
Aunt Zhang feels that she has worked hard all her life and should enjoy herself.
she doesn't do housework every day and takes no grandchildren. She strolls downstairs in the community and goes home for dinner at some time.
it's not easy for my daughter-in-law to think about her, although she has grievances when she is busy, but she doesn't express it.
but the daughter-in-law's grievances and grievances accumulated so much that she finally couldn't help quarreling with her son and left the child and went back to her mother's house.
when my son has to go to work, the responsibility of taking care of the family falls on Aunt Zhang.
accustomed to the comfortable Aunt Zhang, her hands and feet were messed up, and her grandson let her run down several times.
Aunt Zhang didn't even bother to eat at the end of the day, and she was very frustrated.
she also mocked herself that she had survived pulling a child by herself in the past, but now she has been playing for a period of time and even the children have a hard time.
after her son gets off work, Aunt Zhang asks her son to pick up his daughter-in-law home quickly.
after her daughter-in-law comes home, Aunt Zhang will take the initiative to help share the housework as soon as she changes her usual style.
the family relationship is also more harmonious, and when she is free, her daughter-in-law will also take her out to play and enjoy the family.
that's what people do. Use it in, get rid of it.
when you do things for others, if you are idle, you will be wasted, and diligence will make things happen.
there is a saying in Shawshank's Redemption:
A life that is too easy will not only wear away people's will, but also deprive them of what they have.
busy, there is always gain; leisure, nothing.
Don't let a moment of comfort ruin the happiness you have.

people should not be too idle
Hong Yingming said:
people should not be too idle. If they are idle for a long time, they will think that they are working hard.
in this world, everything everyone wants is clearly priced.
if you want a good job, you must try your best to strive for it;
if you want a good life, you must work hard.
Crave for fabulous black dresses cocktail and accent a curvy body and assets? These are the best options for the big day.
A busy life is full and full; an idle life is empty and boring.
there is a long way to go in life, but it is meaningful to live a full life.
when Qi Baishi, a master painter, was 70 years old, he still kept painting every day.
constantly refine your painting skills and keep yourself from being idle during the day.
when Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice, was 90 years old, he still insisted on doing scientific research in the field.
even if he takes part in some commendation activities, he says he can't let go of the rice.
Ji Xianlin, a tenured professor at Peking University, still gets up at four or five o'clock every day when he is 90.
persist in teaching during the day, and spend several hours reading and studying in the evening.
they live a full life and have made their own achievements in their respective fields.
they will live more fully, feel happier, and their bodies will live younger and younger.
people should not be too idle or too lazy. A lot of problems come out when they are idle.
if you do nothing to pass the time, you will find that time has passed.It was fast, but looking back, there was nothing left.
so, even in your spare time, you should find something you like to do to make your life full.
when you look back on the past later, there will be no regrets.

as the old saying goes,
once a person is busy, he will not leave a gap for annoyance.
walking in the world, you can be idle to adjust yourself at the right time, but you can't let too much leisure waste yourself.
Life is too short to keep yourself busy, so it is possible to see more beautiful scenery and climb higher mountains.
May you and I both be busy and worthwhile on the road of life, and meet a better life!
