常言道：〝人活在世上，不如意事，十常八九！〞
碰上了此等事情正好是磨煉心志的時候。然而，不少人卻只好怨天尤人，筆者也是凡人，當然也曾以消極的態度應對。
不如意事的因由多半是人為，餘下是天意。說明白一點，就是「期望」與「事實」的落差所產生的後果，而一切的「失望」都一相情願地歸究於「天意」。
若要活在「如意事十常八九」的世上，培養如陶淵明那種歸隱生活的心境也許是一法...

"培養如陶淵明那種歸隱生活的心境也許是一法..."
These words fully reflect your Blog: "The Distracting Thoughts". They remind me of a Sonnet by Shakespeare and I would like to share it with your readers because it might cast some optimistic thoughts to us:
When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heav'n with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heavn's gate;
For thy sweet love rememb'red such wealth brings,
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
May God Bless you, your family members and your readers.
EKO
EKO,
Indeed the thoughts are similar.
When one encounters unfavourable situation, one may be confused or get lost if one doesn't have a place to hide.
What's favorite hiding place? The Sonnet seems to suggest the Lord, whereas my suggestion is a generic one.
Thanks for your inspiring comments.
May God Bless You!
