Chapter 8 stop and enjoy the solitude

If you walk in a hurry during the trip, you will only miss the beautiful scenery along the way; if you never stop in your life, you will inevitably miss the inadvertent happiness.The trajectory of our life is constantly spinning like a top, and the temptations we face are the long whip that beats the top. The pressure of reality often makes people dare not slack off and pursue a higher and better life, so they cannot slow down.Once a person has a desire, it is always difficult to calm down in the face of temptation, especially when many things are within reach, they can't wait to reach out and pick them up.

But I always forget that the more beautiful the temptation, the more irreversible it is.Just like that Adam and Eve's apple, if it grows on a tree, it will never be the source of people's mistakes, but Adam and Eve chose it. What is right and what is wrong in life leaves too little time for us to think carefully and distinguish.People often make hasty decisions and then look back and regret what they did. When you stop to enjoy loneliness and face temptation, allocate more time for yourself to savor, and you may find that what you originally pursued is not so important.Loneliness is sometimes a bright light, guiding us to listen to the truest voice deep in our hearts and find the real sweetness in life.
