The life ending we care most about

Back pain, I went to see Chinese medicine. When waiting in line, the two old people around the age of eight are always chatting. Listening to the conversation, I guess they are old colleagues, and have not seen them for many years. The two old people chatted faintly, and the tone was soothing and calm. I listened at the side, but I was very emotional.

At first, they were talking about their former colleagues. The old man said that last month, whoever left, I will go to the memorial service and look at it. There are not many people. Old man B said, who is not there? I heard that he had esophageal cancer several years ago. A said, yeah, he can suffer a lot of crimes. When he left, he had more than 60 kilograms left. Who is good, no matter what happened at night, he died of heart disease at night, and no sin was suffered. B said that I saw who I was in the second hospital a few days ago. He couldn’t help but have a brain heal, and he was rescued. Now he can move with one hand and can’t say anything... I think your body is still quite flexible now? A said Yes, not serious, it is old rheumatism. B said, I saw a secret recipe for rheumatism in the health newspaper a few days ago. Go back and look for it. Look at the newspaper, it’s good...

I don't know the relationship between the two old people, what kind of relationship they had at work, and whether they had any grievances. But when life comes to this moment, all the past has retreated - between them, between them and other colleagues, who is higher than who pays, who is more favored in front of the leader, who has dismantled who, who grabs It doesn't matter who's benefiting... even their lives and deaths are not important. Now, the only thing that keeps them a little bit is who is healthier than anyone else.

Although it is when to say something, if we are young, there is a little bit of such a mentality, life will be more calm.

I remember that when Yu Minhong talked about workplace competition, he said that there are many ways to succeed. If my salary is not high, I will compare with you. If my prospects are not good, I will be happy with you if I don’t have You are happy, I am healthier than you, maybe I have nothing to do in my life, but I maintain a healthy body, and finally send you one by one, then I am successful.

Ron Wayne, one of Apple's founders, sold out 10% of the shares to Jobs and another shareholder for $800 at the price of $800. However, Wayne does not regret it. He said that Jobs is a "whirlwind" workaholic. If he has been working at Apple for a long time, the huge work intensity may make him live to the present.

Now, 81-year-old Wayne is still alive, and Jobs left us at the age of 56.

Of course, the world welcomes people like Jobs: talented, willing to work hard and create great value for mankind. But as we personally, isn't it another success to "live well"? The breadth and height of life are certainly a measure of the value of life, but isn't it the length and quality?

In fact, when we watch movies, the most important thing is the end of the game, who loses who wins. And how can we be successful in the end of our lives? Maybe you will be in a lifetime, but in the end, if you are lying in a hospital bed, you can’t say that you can’t move, and your mediocre colleagues are leisurely bending in the park – at least At this moment, he is more successful than you, and this moment is actually the ending we care most about.

Regrettably, in the end, it is difficult for us to figure this out. When we were young, we narrowed our success to the fame and fortune, exhausted our efforts, and finally realized that the final success was just a healthy and peaceful life. When we wanted to fight for it, the body was afraid that it was already anxious. The two old people I met in the hospital were successful at least to a certain extent, and they must understand the ultimate meaning of success. Therefore, for the death of a colleague, they only accepted it with a soft slap, but it was the secret of rheumatism on the health newspaper, which made them more interested.

Wen Tianxiang once had a famous sentence: I can die from time to time, and survive by step by step. He is talking about national justice, and I am willing to use it on these two old people. Presumably, in their hearts, they are ready to leave, but in the days of their lives, they are willing to strive for the ultimate success. Life can only understand the stage of "death at any time, step by step to survive" to understand what is fundamental to life.

If we can understand this earlier, we can probably get a little earlier and see the world.
