Slow alive, in the modern world of fast, a lot of people feel why. Like when people like artists, see hands behind swing the ball more, and faster, everyone understands, and you must have missed the collapse of that moment. But were afraid to stop, be afraid to stop and be abandoned by society. They all have been filled with various plans, engagement and responsibility, in the pursuit and watch life slip away from their real happiness and joy they drift away. So, start some people advocate a slow life.
Slow life, begins with a reflection on modernity. Speed and efficiency, is the trap of modernity's most charming, it makes people think about the plight of modernity. Modern concept is a single time, it considered that time toward the future will never move on, means that people with traditional pieces. In modernity, people become the measure of things and subjects, it is on this understanding drives for nature and the world of unlimited expansion, and that human is a dominant force. It not only abandoned the religion of God and heaven, is up to the scale of nature, historical and cultural dimensions. Efficiency is considered the greatest contribution of modernity,
it means that there is no end, and the extreme, one can infinitely improve efficiency. Our life is filled with more and more of waiting for us to press the button, waiting for us to see more information. The dilemma of modernity, people become the center of everything being on the one hand, but on the other hand in the pursuit of speed and efficiency of the activities, slowly away from humanity itself and the values of life.
The slow life philosophy, philosophy without support, practice it will still feel a contradiction. Slow life,
meant to find a simple philosophy, to simplify our lives. How much people really need, life can be joyful and happy? Only by constantly asking this question, people can get out of control, otherwise the head will only be possession, purchase and consume ideas such as stuffed. Only liberated from all creatures, can we free their spirits and minds. As Jesus said, "Behold the fowls of the heavens, they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly father feeds them. Barns, not much of you? "" What would you like the lilies of the field grow; they toil not, they spin not. Yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his splendor, he dressed, like a flower! "These words of Jesus, is to teach people to get rid of things.
Slow life, means to believe that a poor philosophy. Spirit of this philosophy through positive role, take the initiative to a poor lifestyle choices. There are so many of these ideas in Chinese traditional culture. Confucius said, "a gentleman enough to eat nothing, nothing," "worry-a gentleman doesn't worry the poor", and advocates is a poverty of philosophy. He Yan Huili as the gentleman's example and tell people only in the clear when poor, unsophisticated, can feel the joy to the soul. Yan Hui, "Dan food, drink, in the alley", "does not change its music", it's because he knows when to give up is to get. This poor philosophy, see poverty as a kind of beauty, as a highly pure state of freedom, is a positive life choices, so Confucius said "man of solid-poor", "poor". Even in poverty, will not be trapped by poverty, but when after the soul out of bondage, obtained by Liberation, as Confucius said "the food simple and plain food, qugongerzhen, in which the music is also".
This poor philosophy, and also a need for reflection on wealth. Confucius said: "the unrighteous wealth and expensive, to me as a cloud", is to reflect on the legitimacy of wealth. Mencius said, "heartless, benevolence is not the rich", the University said "benevolent money, heartless to be rich", reflection is the relationship between wealth and peace of mind, the desire for wealth too much, certainly covered the discovery of the soul of the world and the pursuit of good. Because people will persist in the preserve and increase the value of wealth.
Slow life is more important to find a wilderness philosophy and philosophy of landscapes. When Confucius said "the wise love water, benevolent", he does not care about the economic value of landscape, focused on their wild beauty. Landscapes, wilderness and the sea, itself to purify the soul of the people, so people have a sense of AWE for nature and life. This philosophy means that the waste land as a source of all life, no matter how arbitrary, blind and wild, it is beyond the imagination and creativity of human integrity and autonomy.
Only being in the wilderness and landscape, to make people really learn humility, to dispel some fantasy of the soul, experience the slow life is all about. Wilderness and landscape of the human mind itself, there is a guiding power. Not only can stimulate our thinking, it also allows us to understand the human condition. Wilderness philosophy means that the true reflection of modernity, not man as the measure of all things, but to nature as a human scale. Confucian notion of "all things without hurting", stress the value of the person and equality, equality extends to all forms of life and personality in everything. This idea for the traditional Chinese view frugal living provides a profound philosophical basis. The so-called slow life, is between the landscape and wilderness, and experience the loneliness of life or quiet.
It is the reverence for nature and life, as well as an aesthetic life and nature.
Only when a reverence for nature, love and imagination, he can realize the nature of body skin, blood, emotion and they are linked together. He will find that life is not a competition, just like a river, fast and slow, clean and dirty is the only life form, there will be no article of the same river. Remember the Analects of Confucius portrayed "bird's nest", which is a slow life. When people such as the nature of trees,
stretches like a tree trunk and straight when you're calm, happy light like a young tree shoots Miao Wan, is the ideal state of the slow life.
