The path to Tranquility (spring)
2. Discovering something new every day
Human progress stems from the continuous exploration and discovery of
the truth about the world. This spirit of exploration fills us with hope for the future, and it also makes us like trying new things, such
as new dishes, new environments, and experiences.
When we travel, we always feel refreshed and even have a flash of inspiration and new ideas. But when the trip ends and we return to our daily lives, we often feel bored and lose the motivation to live. Although this is natural, it is also the reason why we often feel depressed. By examining our definition of repetition and evaluation of repetitive, we may be able to find a solution to the problem.
Repetition means staying the same. Repetition in life also has benefits, such as higher familiarity and less likelihood of making mistakes, which can reduce anxiety and danger. On the other hand, repetition also means being dull and not exciting, living like a machine. But in reality, life is not always the same. As long as we put our hearts into it, we can discover something new every day and also add new elements to our old way of life.
We can think of it this way: familiarity is good, but staying the same is not. We also see the solution: if we feel bored or dull, we should make changes immediately today, so that there will be more new and interesting things tomorrow. By changing the way we do things or adding some elements of new environments, such as art, music, or literature, old things will become fresh, and we can gain new feelings and experiences from them.
Although the heart rate is basically the same every day, we still have moments when our heart beats faster. Life is a kind of repetition, and we should cherish this repetition. However, life is also a kind of constant renewal, so our thoughts should be synchronized with life.
Observing our inner selves and the things around us, can allow our mind to enter a deeper or broader world. By thinking about our relationship with things and the relationship between things, our thoughts can be constantly renewed and new ways of living can be discovered.
Observation and thinking are actually the keys to never getting tired of life. Starting from observing our own emotions, then observing our behavior and its impact on the outside world, and then thinking about the mechanism of this impact. This can make our lives more interesting and fulfilling, and provide a deeper understanding of the value of life.
