Forgive yourself
Many times, what traps us is not the external pressure and constraints, but our own unwillingness to forgive ourselves.
Wisdom in life is to not insist too much, welcome what comes and turn the page when it’s over. Insisting blindly on everything will only ruin your mood.
Philosopher Thomas Carlyle wrote his first work at the age of 40. Upon finishing the last page, he was so excited that he went for a walk in the yard to calm down.
After he left the study, a gust of wind scattered the manuscript on the ground. The maid who served tea thought it was discarded waste paper by the master and threw it into the fireplace.
When Carlyle returned and found out that his work had turned into ashes, he fell into deep despair. During that time, Carlyle was dazed every day, couldn’t eat, and couldn’t sleep well. It wasn’t until one day when he looked at the calendar, he realized that three months had passed, and he had done nothing but feel despondent.
In deep pain, he decided to forget about it.
Three years later, he wrote a 3-volume work “The French Revolution,” establishing his position as a master in the academic world.
When you gaze into an abyss, the abyss also gazes back at you.
The more you entangle yourself in a broken matter, the more you will lose. It is best to detach in time, that is the best redemption for yourself.
