拿得起怎会放不下



Bought a colourful chinese book recently from the Commercial Press Book Store because of the meaningful picture shown above. Of course, we are not talking about weight lifting as a sport here.

It is pretty common to advise someone to learn to put "things" down ie to let go instead of holding on to it when the situation no longer allows it and to be troubled by doing so. Of course, it is easy to say than done in reality. One of the reasons is that we all have the tendency wanting to possess it and dun like to disown it.

In fact, you may need more energy to lift "things" up than putting it down. If u cannot withstand anymore, why continue holding it ? Simple wisdom travels a thousand mile and bring a warm /peaceful smile out of you.

The author is 阿虫. Title of the book is 平常话说平常心.
There are many more wisdom written and drawn in the book. A nice book and a good buy
