“不动心”就是要求一个人无论面对怎样的境遇,都要保持内心的淡定,永远做自己心灵的主人和情绪的主宰者。孟子对此的表述就是“富贵不能淫,贫贱不能移,威武不能屈”,《中庸》的说法是“素富贵,行乎富贵;素贫贱,行乎贫贱;素夷狄,行乎夷狄;素患难,行乎患难,君子无入而不自得焉”。
“诚者,天之道也;诚之者,人之道也。诚者,不勉而中,不思而得,从容中道,圣人也。诚之者,择善而固执之者也。”
那确是一个耐得咀嚼的故事。一只雪白的神鹿,柔若无骨,欢欢蹦蹦,舞之蹈之,从南山飘逸而出,在开阔的原野上恣意嬉戏。所过之处,万木繁荣,禾苗茁壮,五谷丰登,六畜兴旺,疫疠廓清,毒虫灭绝,万家乐康,那是怎样美妙的太平盛世!
Don't be afraid to express your own opinions and feelings. You are a vital part of the subject. No matter what the topic, you are really writing about how you understand it, how you feel about it. Good writing has personality. Readers enjoy sensing a mind at work, hearing a clear voice, responding to an unusual sensibility. If you have chosen a topic that is of general concern, and if genuine feeling and intelligence come through, you will be interesting. Interest lies not so much in a topic as in what a writer has made of it.
