随着一次次春去冬来，我旁观着周围的变化。我发现了很多矛盾点，很多不符合常理的地方，但是大家似乎已经习惯了这一切。

我尝试去理解，却发现自己的思维也在不知不觉间变得狭隘与愚昧。谈吐间，大多属于无病呻吟。 我同时也去看很多经典，但是经典里的智慧似乎忘记降临到我。

也许是到了一个极点吧，我对自己放下压力后，似乎想要的东西悄然而至。

大家基本在自己的认知下去理解世界，这样每个人的观念都是割裂的。很多事情存在关联，然而我们难以把控全局，于是各自说着各自的理解。最直观的表现就是我们与上一辈的代沟。上一辈因为身体机能的老化，对于新事物难以接受，我们确实更能接受新事物，但是我们为何不能理解上一辈顽固的根结？

愿意去理解周围的人，去理清他们和自己有差异的根源，有技巧地去表达矛盾点，去接受不美好的事物。于是豁达的心胸悄然出现。

As spring gave way to winter, again and again, I watched the changes around me. I noticed many contradictions, many things that seemed to defy reason, yet everyone appeared to have grown accustomed to them.

I tried to understand, only to discover that my own thinking had quietly become narrow and unwise. Much of what I said amounted to little more than inventing ailments for an untroubled life.

I also read many classics, yet the wisdom within them seemed to have forgotten to descend upon me.

Perhaps I had reached some limit. Once I released the pressure I had placed upon myself, what I sought seemed to arrive quietly on its own.

Each of us understands the world through the boundaries of our own perception, and so our views are fragmented. Many things are connected, but we cannot grasp the whole; each person speaks from the part they can see. The clearest example is the distance between our generation and the one before us. As the body grows older, it becomes harder to welcome what is new. We may indeed accept new things more readily—but why are we unable to understand the roots of the older generation's resistance?

When we become willing to understand the people around us, to trace the source of our differences, to speak of conflict with care, and to accept what is imperfect, a more spacious heart quietly appears.
