Chapter 32 Thirty-first walking fast and slow

Every morning, Jiechen and Jieao went to the back mountain to fetch a bucket or two of water as usual for daily life.This time period is also the time when there are the least people in the mountains. In fact, at this moment when the night just ended and the morning light first appeared, the situation in the mountains was slightly different from that during the day.This is the most refreshing time of the day, and even the dewy air is a little less cloudy than the air after being exposed to the sun. Although there are few people, you can still see some familiar faces in Jiechen. The common ones are Police Officer Wu who loves morning jogging, and old benefactor Li who likes to take a walk.

Officer Wu usually goes up the mountain from the east side, and then runs along the mountain road.The direction of his running is exactly opposite to the direction where Jie An fetches water, so as long as it is not raining, Jie An will always meet him on the mountain road. Officer Wu runs very fast, and Jie Chen has not carefully calculated the exact speed. Later, Junior Brother Jie Ao helped to calculate, and Junior Brother Jie Ao said: "From the temple to the place where the water is fetched, it only takes a little more than one-third of the whole journey around the mountain. On this section of the road, Jie Chen will almost encounter Officer Wu twice, so under such circumstances, Officer Wu's running speed is about three times faster than Jie Chen's walking speed."

Jie Chen and Officer Wu are very familiar, so every time Officer Wu runs to meet Jie Chen, he will always talk to Jie Chen while running. Officer Wu said the most: "Little monk Jiechen, you are walking too slowly. I guess I can see you again after I run around." Whenever this time, Jie Chen always smiled and said nothing.Jie Chen feels that it is necessary to run fast as a police officer, at least to seize the opportunity when catching criminals.And Jie Chen, as a monk, always loses the demeanor of a monk, carrying a bucket and galloping on the mountain road. Under the same circumstances, if Officer Wu laughed at Junior Brother Jieao for walking slowly, Junior Brother Jieao would praise Officer Wu for his running speed, and then say: "Benefactor Wu, if you encounter a large number of criminals alone, you will definitely succeed." make a strategic retreat."

Relatively speaking, another frequent visitor in the mountains, Old Benefactor Li, had much fewer encounters with Jie Chen. Old benefactor Li goes up the mountain in the same direction as Police Officer Wu. He always circles the mountain and then goes home.Old benefactor Li walked very slowly, even if Jie An came back from the place where the water was fetched, Jie An who picked up the water walked faster than old benefactor Li. Sometimes when Jie Chen meets old benefactor Li, he will always go on a journey with him.But Jie Chen doesn't like to chat while walking, it's not that he doesn't have common topics with old benefactor Li, but Jie Chen is carrying a bucket and chatting while walking, which is actually quite a burden.

However, old benefactor Li will also take care of Jie An. Most of the time, he just simply chats with Jie An, and then says: "Jing Chen, you are walking fast, so go first, and chat with me with water, too Thanks for your hard work." When talking to Police Officer Wu and Old Benefactor Li, Jie Chen didn't pay much attention to it.But once Jiechen suddenly thought, the words of the two benefactors are actually very interesting.Because for Jie Chen who walks at the same speed, the two benefactors will have diametrically opposite judgments: Officer Wu who runs at high speed will feel that Jie Chen is walking too slowly, while old benefactor Li who is walking thinks Jie Chen is walking too fast.

Therefore, quitting anger believes that the speed and slowness of anything are relative. When we complain that others are not aggressive, we seldom think about it. Maybe this feeling is not because others are too slow, but because our own way of handling things is too aggressive.In the same way, when we complain about other people's impulsive behavior, we may also need to think about whether his behavior is normal. We, who are used to ordinary life, have begun to normalize the days without passion.
