Half the pleasure of life is in activity, and half is in feeling. The so-called "feeling" is passive, allowing things in nature to touch my senses and mind. These two words have a lot of meaning. Seeing color, hearing sound, is feeling; To know its beauty by seeing its color and its harmony by hearing its sound are also feelings. The same beauty, the same harmony, and the degree of beauty and harmony seen by each individual varies with the condition of talent. For example, when you see a green pine by the roadside, you only think it can be cut down to make ships. I've seen it cool; Others may say that it is very suitable for painting, or that it is a symbol of high moral integrity. Another example is a beggar on the street, I can only see his unkempt face, think he is very annoying; When you saw him, you had compassion and gave him a bronze coin. He may be seen by others and immediately set out to overthrow the social system. These people have different reactions, due to strong and weak sensitivity. The reason why the genius of the world is a genius, is due to the great creativity, and his sensibility is particularly strong than the average person. For example, poets and artists, he can see what you can't see, and smell what you can't smell. If you ask Boya to play the piano to him, he will only think of a cotton Smith playing cotton. Feeling can also be said to "appreciate", but appreciate is only one aspect of feeling. The happiest man in the world is not only the most active, but also the most appreciative. The so-called appreciation, is to be able to find interest in life. It is like drinking tea. A thirsty man swallows it with his mouth full, while a good tea drinker slurps it and appreciates its flavor. Can enjoy the interest of people everywhere will not be quiet, also will not be bored. Zhu Zi has a poem said: "half an mu of a square pond open, sky light cloud shadow wandering together, ask the canal that clear so? To have a source of fresh water." This is a state of great beauty. You can close your eyes and think about it, put this picture in your mind, and then imagine that this half acre square pond is your own heart, you see this poem compared to the joys and sorrows of life how perfect! Ordinary people's life is dry, just because there is no sky in their "half acre square pond", there is no source of running water, this source of running water is to appreciate the fun. The ability to appreciate interest is half due to talent, half also due to self-cultivation. It's easier to have fun in silence. There is a law of physics that says two things cannot coexist in the same space. The law also makes sense psychologically. Ordinary people can not feel fun, mostly because the heart is too busy, not empty so not spirit. The so-called "stillness" refers to the emptiness of the mind, not to the silence of the thing, which is never silent. The more empty your mind is, the less you find things quiet, or I might go further, the more empty your mind is, the less noisy things are. So quiet is not necessarily to escape the valley, nor is it necessary to learn Buddhist meditation. Being quiet is different from being idle. Many idle people do not have to be able to appreciate the fun in quiet, and can appreciate the fun in quiet, do not have to be idle. In the busy, in the noise of the world, you occasionally leave everything, relax in daydream, you suddenly seem to have a bright light in your heart, infinite insight will come. This is quiet in the busy.
