People want their lives to be more happy, less painful, more smooth and less frustrated. However, fate always seems to tease and torture people, always giving people more loss, pain and frustration. I remember reading such a story: there was a pupa on the grass, which was found by a child and brought home. A few days later, a small crack appeared on the pupa, and the butterfly inside struggled for a long time, as if its body was stuck. Naive children can't bear to see butterflies struggling in pupae. So, he picked up scissors to cut open the pupa shell and help the butterfly get rid of the pupa. But because the butterfly didn't go through a painful struggle before breaking the pupa, its body was bloated and its wings shriveled, so it couldn't fly at all and soon died. Naturally, the happiness of this butterfly disappeared forever with its death. This little story also illustrates a life truth. To be happy, you must be able to endure pain and frustration. This is a kind of tempering for people, and it is also a necessary process for a person to grow up.
When setbacks stand in front of us, we begin to choose. Just as there are no identical leaves in the world, people's choices are different. We can choose to give up setbacks and take detours. We don't have to feel sad because of setbacks, and we don't have to make any efforts. We can also choose to face setbacks without fear. Although we have worked hard for this, we can also gain a lot, including the joy and excitement of overcoming suffering, the sweetness of "seeking pleasure in suffering" and the courage to overcome difficulties in the future.
The process of our growth is tortuous, always accompanied by bitterness and trouble. Frustration is like a sharp whetstone. Only when our life is polished by it can we shine brilliantly. "How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?" Growth after setbacks is more meaningful, and setbacks are actually a fortune. How many difficult times to find, how many times to fall and climb up with tears, just like flowers bloom and fall, paving the way for our future life. Growing up is like walking on the beach. Rows of crooked footprints record our growing footprints. Only after experiencing setbacks will our legs be stronger and our footprints in life be more solid.
