Life is like tea: first bitter, then sweet, then indifferent
The writer Sanmao once said: “Life is like tea, the first is bitter like life, the second is sweet like love, and the third is light like the breeze.” . Life is like a cup of tea, there are bitter, sweet, and indifferent. Everyone’s life is a practice, in this practice we experience the various forms of life, taste the tea taste of life.
First, tea should be tortured, and people should be tempered
Mr. Lin Yutang once said: “Holding a teapot, the life to the most essential essence.” This cup of tea, from picking to brewing, has to go through a series of suffering. The tea leaves roll in the hot water, releasing the hidden aroma, just like we go through various trials in life, in order to emit the inner light. It is these trials that make us more resilient and more mature.
Two, tea needs heat, people need time
There is a saying in the Book of Wisdom: “Everything must be judged by the heat, and should not be acted upon until the time has come.” The same is true for making tea, the heat is not enough, the tea is difficult to stretch, and the tea is difficult to taste. Similarly, people need to wait for the right moment in life. Before the time has come, we must keep calm and gather strength; When the time comes, we must act decisively and seize the opportunity.
Three, tea has ups and downs, people have gains and losses
The tea leaves undulated in the cup, now rising and now sinking. It’s like our losses and gains in life, sometimes we gain something and sometimes we lose something. But no matter how we gain or lose, we must keep a normal heart. I am lucky if I get it, but I am dead if I lose it. Only in this way can we maintain inner peace in the ups and downs of life.
Life is like tea, happiness comes after suffering
Mr. Lin Qingxuan once said: “One bubble bitter, two bubbles thick, three bubbles sweet.” When we taste the bitterness of tea, don’t be discouraged, because after the bitterness comes the sweetness. Similarly, when we encounter difficulties in life, we should not give up easily, because as long as we persevere, we will be able to usher in the dawn of victory.
Tea is an art of life; Life is a practice. Let us appreciate the true meaning of life in the process of tasting tea, and keep moving forward on the road of practice. Tea is quiet but can reach far, tea is indifferent but can be bright. First bitter and then sweet, then indifferent, this is the taste of life.
