This sentence "Quiet to cultivate the body, thrift to cultivate morality" seems to be Zhuge Liang's words. In the past, I was full of doubts about this sentence, can a person cultivate himself when he is quiet? Can you cultivate virtue by living frugally? Many years later I have a thorough understanding of this statement.
When I was a teenager, my heart was so impetuous, I always wanted to show myself in the crowd everywhere, I liked the bustle of the crowd, and I was afraid of being single. Gradually, I saw the hypocrisy of some people and some people, and I gradually moved away from the crowd, no longer taking the initiative to pursue my partner, and gradually became lonely.
Over the years, I have also been accustomed to loneliness, and my heart has completely calmed down, and slowly in loneliness, I have a deeper understanding of life. The deliberate respect of people and the smiling faces of others that have been sought in the past do not make much sense. It is no longer deliberately pursuing to be stronger than others everywhere, but becoming not happy with things, not grieving with oneself. Now it is more down-to-earth to do some meaningful things, some practical things, some very ordinary things that are meaningful to people. Strive to improve your ability level, no longer deliberately show off, let people respect themselves.
