Lately, I have been noticing how quickly the mind can fall into seeing things in two sides, right or wrong, fair or unfair, good or bad.
Through deeper meditation practice, I am beginning to see that many things are not as simple as they first appear. At a deeper level, there are often older stories, unseen conditions, human limitations, and many quiet layers shaping what we see.
Seeing more clearly does not mean I agree with everything. But it does soften something in me. It helps me pause before turning everything into two sides. It reminds me that life is often more complex, more tender, and more human than the first reaction allows.
This feels like one of the quiet gifts of practice.
The more clearly I see, the less I feel the need to harden around what I see. Instead, there can be a little more space, a little more understanding, and a little more compassion.
Perhaps this, too, is part of the path.
To see clearly, while staying soft.
To keep the heart open, even as understanding deepens.
最近常常覺得,心很容易很快地把事情分成兩邊。
對或錯,公平或不公平,好或不好。
但隨著練習慢慢走深一點,我也開始感受到,很多事情其實沒有表面看起來那麼簡單。
往更深一層看,裡面常常有更久以前的故事、有看不見的條件,也有很多人性的限制。
看得更清楚,不代表我就認同一切。
但它的確讓心裡有些地方慢慢柔軟下來。也讓我比較不急著把事情立刻分成兩邊。
有時候,越是看清,反而越能多一點理解,多一點空間,也多一點慈悲。
也許這也是一種練習吧。
在看清之中,依然柔軟。
在理解更深的同時,也不讓心關上。
