活在当下,电视剧《追捕》

(2024-06-16 13:15:49) 下一个

今天我直接用手机上网写博。

听了一个视频,讲修炼,就是要活在当下。我好像突然明白了,活在当下就是把当下的事情做好,不要让过去和将来干扰正在进行的事情。

多年前,我找工作时很焦虑,有大把时间,却没心思做任何事情,哪怕是看电视电影都不愿意。等我找到工作,特别想休息,却没时间休息。没工作时,好好享受好好休息多好啊,当初的焦虑并没让我更快地找到工作。

以后我再找工作时就好多了。找到了,就去工作,找不到,在家享受。这样想了,工作却很快来了,并没有给我一个考验的机会。就是说,如果我真的很久找不到工作,我是否还会焦虑?我不知道。

上面的例子不就是活在当下吗?确实很好。

还有一个例子。上班的时候,工作量大,我就想急于完成工作,干这件时,想着如何干下一件。这样很压抑。后来,演员秦怡的话启发了我:只要一件一件地去做,就可以了。干不完就干不完,有什么了不起。后来我真的觉得工作不累了,而且效果相当好,工作中很少出错误。这也是活在当下的一个例子。难怪秦怡能活到100岁呢。

这周看了另一部电视剧《追捕》(Manhunt),不是日本电影那个追捕,是英国2019年拍摄的电视剧。讲一个快退休的侦探,很怕退休,是工作狂。他最后一个追捕行动是侦破一个连续犯罪17年,仍然逍遥法外的强奸犯。最终破案成功,但是他内心的不平静胜过他侦探成功的喜悦,因为他不知道如何面对退休。他还没退休呢,就被退休压迫了。想起我当年的研究生导师,他也很怕退休。在事业上有成绩的人,同时也被成绩牵引,陷入事业,不能自拔了。

这些就是活在当下,当下指当时的时间地点内容,人不要被他人的舆论所影响,享受其中就可以了。比如一个在偏远地区种地的人,他若享受耕作,不跟风出国挣大钱,那他就是在修行,就是非凡,就是快乐的人。我突然想起老灯他爹了,不跟儿子出国,就在农村老家继续下地干活,难怪他99岁,仍然身体硬朗。

油翁 回复 悄悄话 Today I am directly using my phone to write a blog online.

I listened to a video about cultivation, which emphasized the importance of living in the present moment. It seems like I suddenly understand that living in the present means doing well in what is happening right now, without letting the past and future disturb the present.

Many years ago, I was very anxious when looking for a job. I had plenty of time, but I couldn't bring myself to do anything, not even watch TV or movies. When I finally found a job, I wanted to rest but had no time. Back then, it would have been great to enjoy and rest while I had no job, but my anxiety didn't help me find a job faster.

In the future, when I look for a job again, I will be much better. If I find a job, I will work; if not, I will enjoy my time at home. This way of thinking made the job come quickly and didn't give me a chance to test my patience. That's to say, if I really couldn't find a job for a long time, would I still be anxious? I don't know.

The example above is just living in the present, which is indeed very beneficial.

Another example is when I was at work with a heavy workload, I used to rush to finish a task and think about the next one. This was very stressful. Later, the words of actress Qin Yi enlightened me: as long as you do one task at a time, it's enough. If you can't finish it, it's fine. What's the big deal? After that, I found that work was not tiring anymore, and the results were quite good, with very few mistakes. This is also an example of living in the present moment. No wonder Qin Yi could live to be 100 years old.

This week, I watched another TV series "Manhunt" (2019-2021), not the Japanese movie "Manhunt", but a British TV series. It is about a detective who is about to retire and is afraid of retirement as he is a workaholic. His last case is to catch a serial rapist who had been on the run for 17 years. The case is finally solved, but the unrest in his heart outweighs the joy of his detective success because he doesn't know how to face retirement. He hasn't retired yet but is already pressured by retirement. This reminded me of my graduate advisor, who was also afraid of retirement. People with achievements in their careers are often trapped by their achievements and cannot extricate themselves from their careers.

These are all about living in the present, where the present refers to the time, place, and content of the moment. People should not be influenced by others' opinions but simply enjoy it. For example, a person farming in a remote area, if they enjoy farming and don't chase after making big money abroad, then they are cultivating, extraordinary, and happy. I suddenly remembered Old Deng's father, who chose to stay in his rural hometown and continue working the land instead of going abroad with his son. No wonder he is 99 years old and still physically strong.
