接受 Acceptance

四年前人生驟變時，我領悟了這個道理。

任何強求及自私的期待都沒用。接受與了解才是重點。

到頭來: 意念來來去去，人與人之間的關係來來去去，痛苦來來去去。

我發現我若總是死命抓住我希望能發生的故事，便一定會產生哀怨及痛苦。

如今我找到了讓自己心情最能平衡的點 - 放開意念，大膽的去接受所有人世物的本質。

I understood this quote from the life-changing event four years ago.

Any forced and selfish expectation will never lead to any gain. Acceptance and understanding are the key.

The bottom line is this: thoughts come and go, relationships come and go, pain comes and goes. I’ve discovered that clinging to my stories about what I think I want and need is a surefire recipe for suffering. Today I’ve come to a place of real peacefulness, of letting go and accepting things as being just what they are and nothing more.
