迈向耳顺,期待随意

终于决定进入博客世界了。
在人生的道路上,已过知天命,还期待耳顺,这是一种怎么样的一种心境呢?
每个人进入这个世界,好像都随着孔子所走过的路程,十有五而志于学,三十而立,四十而不惑,五十而知天命,六十而耳顺,七十而从心所欲,不逾矩。

Confucius: At fifteen I set my heart on learning. At thirty I could stand. At forty I had no doubts. At fifty I knew the Decree of Heaven. At sixty I was already obedient to this Decree. At seventy I could follow the desires of my mind without overstepping the boundaries of what is right.

大慨知天命之前,我们的人生就是忙忙碌碌,为生活而奔波。这种生活,如果只能维持三餐温饱,可以以随缘来自我解脱,若要随意,难哉。
清代陈伯崖有一副对联:事能知足心常惬,人到无求品自高。年輕的朋友应早早了解这点,在知天命之前作好准备,这样才能开开心心的迈向耳顺之年,期待随意运开。
大家共勉之,共勉之。
