鹏豫

很多人都问我为什么不要做工了!
我都不想回答,因该是说不知该怎么回答。
不要做就不要做了,为什么还要有理由。

这里然我想到了一个故事。。。
从前,有只鸟叫名叫鹏豫。有着一双漂亮的习翼。
他张开习翼一飞,就能飞到千里之外。
有天,鹏豫来到了一个村子
人们看到了都很高兴,很多人都想让留下。
不过,尽管人们把最好的来供养给他
有天,鹏豫还是张开他的习翼飞上天空离开了。
没人能阻挡的了他的到来,也没人能阻挡的了他的离开。。。
人们不需要伤心鹏豫的离开,因为拥有过了就没有遗憾
人们也不需要伤心鹏豫的离开,因为鹏豫的离开,村子只不过是回到了鹏豫还没来得的情况。

要来的,不管怎么阻挡他都会来
要离开的,不管怎么样保留,他都会离开


在鸟笼里的鸟有那里一只是不想飞出去的呢?
虽然在鸟笼里有的吃,有的喝,还被保护这。
可是相对的,他的活动范围就变得很窄小了。
站在他们的角度来看,想想他们是快乐的吗?
那么你认为鸟会情愿被关在笼子里呢?还是三餐不定的自由自在的在天空飞翔?

somehow this illustrates our own present lives.. are we happy or not?
living the way we are now.. it means that we have our own responsibility...we are controlled by certain circumstances..by certain people..so we can't simply do whatever we want..however.. it means that we are still living (which we should be glad of).. we have a shelter..we have a family to care for..and we have what we are having.. so it comes back to the question - are we happy or not? will we be happier without all these and have unlimited freedom to do what we want with our lives??

An excellent feedback,you got your own judgment of happiness. You are happy with your family, what you have and the most important is your are living! But all this thing will leave you one day. So will you be happy that time? Nothing is permanent...as everything is virtual
Try to think for those who does not have their parents, or those who lose their parents, those who bankrupt.those who meet miserable or etc... Are they crying everyday?
Somehow try not to, too care about 'have'. I have, we have, they have...then is I don have, I have no, I'm not...sometimes, think about this, why are you being control by all this 'have'? Why are you happy with 'I have' or sad with 'I have', or inverse? 'If I do this, I will lose that!' why should we be so worry about what we will lose? Happy for what we have? (I'm happy with what I have...I have much more compare to you...) Why must we compare which one is happier? What should we use to define which one is happier?
And with this 'have' , soon you will think of this is mine, that should be mine.....if I give you a present, then who own the present? I you say it's your, but I given by me. If you say it's mine, but I had already give it to you! So who own that?
You are a good husband, a good boy, have this have that...but which one is you? Which one is belong to you?
Being freedom does not mean free to do what we want, but free from all the seducing, all the 'have','wants', 'mine', 'me', 'lose'...etc.

'Even thought, I still no need to be...'
'Even thought, I still want to be happy!'
'Even with what you say about me, but I won't be move by what you say, even you praise me'

off cause I'm not criticize about what you happy with is wrong or right or what I'm talking is definitely true. I'm just give out my opinion.

By the way, the story is not only telling own present lives about happy or sad. It also illustrate out can we achieve the internal happiness of our mind by putting down all the things! Can we be really release from all thing we have, all the thing we want, all the thing we see. Can we see the virtual?
In the story, they give the best thing to the bird (money, name, beautiful wearing...etc) but the bird still fly away.
In the story, everyone want the bird to stay (your family, friends, lover, etc...) the bird still fly away, for this, let inverse the situation to assume that the bird is one of your family or friends. Can you stop they from go away (dead or their decision for future)?
And the last story, the bird in the cage want to fly away, let think of the bird is you, and the cage is all the thing mention above (money,name, family, friends...etc)
Perhaps you are very happy to live in the cage, but one day you will realize your mind of thinking is become smaller and smaller...looking at the huge sky but you can't fly in the sky...perhaps sometimes you can fly out from the cage, but in the end you will be back to the cage again. Just like some people in real life, they study, work, marry and work, and finally die. Maybe some will say this is life! But will you think of have some change on it?

I would be glad if you leave your name in the comment!

well..thanks =)
achieving internal happiness is a difficult task in this world.. this world is full of people which always want more... although the equilibrium can be reached..sooner or later ..people will tend to push it further in order to have more.. own more.. just like money.. people will never be satisfied.. i have once asked myself.. why the fuss of making so much money when we cant bring the money with us after we die..? why can't i jz live a happy life with my loved ones..care for them..have a good life without regretting.. love,care, and friendship are more important than money.. yet money is the one tat takes control in this stupid world..
i think somehow the situation and environment in this world have taken control of us.. of our happiness..
it makes people think that u must have this to be considered happy.. must have that to be considered rich.. must be like this to be considered smart.. must have social status to be respected..

actually every one must be respected.. every one is unique.. they can choose what they want to be.. how they want to live a life..

why must we be same with the others?
does it mean u cant live if u cant have straight A's for your exams.. does it mean u can't live if u dunno the current news of whats happening around the world.. does it mean u can't live if u don't have a bungalow.. don't have a BMW car..

well..maybe that's just the lives for many people.. or lives which many people wish to have.. and which i used to wish to have..

maybe u can tell me how can we achieve internal happiness..?

How do we achieve internal happiness?
It can't he teach, it can't be tell by words, it can't be show to you. It's a feel.
Somehow, a few ways may lead to this feel...
by eat, sleep, and work!
what are you doing or thinking while you eating? Some will read, some will talk, some will looking around, some will think of many many things...but no one will just eat. So are there really eating while they are eating? Not really...
what are you doing before you sleep? Think of the past, think of the future, think of problems, think of tomorrow, think of many many other think...are they really sleeping? Not really...
what are you doing when you working? Blame this, blame the sun because it's hot, talk gossip about other, blame the work, think of other many many thing...
so with all this thing in your heart...will you think you can reach a peaceful and eternal happy mind?
Therefore, don't carry the pass to walk to the future. Live in 'now'!

Can you feel and hear the wind is blowing?
Can you hear the rain?
Can you feel the heat of the sun?
Can you hear the bug is singing in the grass?
Can you see the snail is eating away the leaf?
Can you feel the worm is in the soil?
Can you feel the leaf breathing?
Can you feel yourself breathing all the time?
That is sound of nature...that is song of peace...
Can you hear the sound of nature? If can , you will feel it. So, combine with the rain, with life, with nature and forget about 'me', 'you', 'they'...

what is internal happiness? It's a simple mind, a peaceful mind, and a very pure internal.
to achieve it, it's as hard as you can think of. but it's also as simply as you can think of.

What is pure? It's without any other things. Therefore, don't think too much. Did you realize,when you call a child to help you do something, they will just say yes, ok, and do it very happily for you. But if you call an adult to do something for you, maybe they will think what is your motive, who are you to order me to do thing for you, why should I help you? What can I get after helping you? Therefore, the children is always the most happy person, why is that so? Because they won't think much or don't care so much.

Internal cleanliness is more important than external cleanliness. if your internal is clean, you won't feel dirty for all the external dirtiness. But for inverse, you will just feel you are clean for a short while...

So, fly away from the cage. To see the cage but not to let the cage lock you in. Just as simply, control the money but not let the money control you. By the way, if you have a pure heart, even you in the cage, you will still feel happy!

But don compare yourself with other. Everyone got their own value! The huge tree will not laugh at the small flower beside him and the small flower will not say the tree is ugly!
