Features: I admire Su Dongpo's optimistic, positive, blameless, and fearless attitude toward life. Life, after all, is destined to end in tragedy, and it is always filled with suffering. Since death is inevitable, why bother with the inevitable sorrows and death? Enjoy life now, and make sure this "joy" is genuine. In other words, it is the tenderness of life's happiness. To say "tenderness" means to love oneself, regardless of whether others share the same feelings. If a person can be self-reliant, there is no reason to feel inferior or sorrowful. If a person never does anything cruel, unjust, or selfish, there is no major disaster. You mentioned your various moments of anger, hatred, or even sudden love, let alone fervor, which often occur in me as well. I see them as proof of my physical and mental health. A person without emotions might as well not be alive! However, as the ancients said, "Let emotions rise, but let them stop at propriety." It's all about moderation. Sometimes, if they go a little beyond that, it probably won't matter much either. You say you,. I think there's no need to pursue simplicity, because the act of "pursuing" and "seeking" will only disrupt simplicity. Of course, life requires effort and positivity, but as long as you can take gains and losses in stride, that is simplicity.
