Insights | Let go when it’s time to let go and learn to look forward

Famous Artists Gallery | Xie Zhiliu, a native of Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, is good at calligraphy and the appraisal of ancient calligraphy and paintings. He was as famous as Zhang Heng (Zhang Congyu) at the beginning, and there is a saying in the world that "Zhang in the north and Xie in the south".

Instead of dwelling on the past, focus on the future.

There is a little story.

The little boy came home from school angrily. As soon as he saw his father, he shouted, "Dad, I'm very angry. Today a classmate embarrassed me in class. I hope he will encounter worse misfortunes than me."

After listening to this, the father said nothing. He just took his son to a room, hung a white shirt with a rope, and then gave his son some charcoal.

"You now treat that piece of clothing as your classmate. You can throw as much charcoal as you want him to be unlucky until you are satisfied."

The little boy was so happy that he immediately picked up the charcoal and threw it at the clothes. But the clothes were hung too high, and no matter how hard he tried, few pieces of charcoal fell on the clothes.

After throwing the charcoal, he felt that he had almost vented his anger. At this time, his father took him to the mirror and said, "Look, son, no matter how angrily you threw charcoal at your clothes, your clothes did not get dirty. Instead, you were covered with charcoal dust. The mistakes others made against you only hurt you temporarily, but you never let it go and always thought about revenge. In the end, you tortured yourself."

This little story actually contains the philosophy of life.

Many times, you will end up paying the price for your resentment towards others.

A writer said: "For my own sake, I must forgive some people. Because a person cannot always keep a poisonous snake in his heart, and cannot get up every night and plant thorns in the garden of his soul."

Although time cannot go back to make up for the past injuries, time will always be a medicine to heal everything.

Letting go when it’s time to let go and learning to look forward is the best way to treat yourself.

Someone summarized: First, don't punish yourself for your own mistakes; second, don't punish others for your own mistakes; third, don't punish yourself for others' mistakes.

No matter how strong the love or hatred in life is, it will eventually be washed away by time. Why should we dwell on past mistakes during our lifetime?

Why should we waste our time in this world worrying about things in the past? What a terrible loss that would be.

When people reach a certain age, they will eventually learn to let go of the past and let love and hate run wild.

Carrying the heavy burden of the past will only hold back your progress.

Only by forgiving others' mistakes can you find peace of mind.

There was a question on the Internet: "Is there any difference between "forgive" and "let it go"? Someone answered: "Forgive is to reconcile with others; let it go is to reconcile with yourself."

Sinking in the mud of hatred will only make you sink deeper and deeper.

There is such a story:

Once upon a time there was a woman who always had very strange dreams.

In the dream, there was a dark house with many people locked up inside. They screamed and wailed in the house day after day... Due to sleepless nights, the woman's health became worse day by day. She went to the hospital, but many doctors were helpless.

Later, she sought help from a psychotherapist, who said, "Next time you have this dream, use the key to open the lock and let everyone out of the house."

In her dream, the woman used a key to open the lock of the dark house, and the people inside came out one by one... It turned out that these people were the ones who had hurt her before.

When the last person came out, the woman burst into tears, because that person was herself.

There is a very good saying, "When you live in this world, the person who can really hurt you is not someone else, but yourself."

Whatever you care about will trouble you; whatever you hate will bind you.

A day of sadness is a day of joy and a day of happiness is a day of joy. Instead of dwelling on the past, focus on the future.

Only by learning to let go can life be clear and broad.

The most important thing in life is to live in the present and focus on your own life.
