Natural Life

English book, p. 121

Natural Life Talking a lot and doing little shows an unserious person, while talking less and doing more indicates a serious person. NATURAL LIFE Once, I visited a gentleman at his house. There, his four young children (two girls and two boys) were playing. I noticed they kept complaining to their father about each other—“He hit me,” “She took my toy,” “He pushed me,” “She said this to me,” and so on. Despite these complaints, they kept playing together. Their relationship remained unaffected. Why did their mutual love endure despite the complaints? The answer is the blood relationship. They were all brothers and sisters, bonded by blood. This blood tie overshadowed their complaints. Despite their differences, it kept them united. This is a symbol of nature, illustrating how people should live in this world. People should live in a way that even when disagreements and complaints happen among them, their relationships do not break, and they continue to live together in harmony and love. In this world, it’s inevitable that people living together will have complaints against each other. A life without complaints isn’t possible here. The goal shouldn’t be to eliminate complaints from society but rather to stop them from turning into hatred.
