The stuff of “I” is no good “我”可不是什么好东西

The stuff of “I” is no good

Some people are greedy for money,

some for good reputation.

The latter ones are chained to vanity,

and not able to be at ease.

Once we are aware of such a state,

It will stop proliferating.

Furthermore, we need to consider:

There are one hundred of “I”s in onehundred people’s minds.

The perfect images one tries to maintainnever exist.

When interacting with other people,

we are often caught by a situation unconsciously.

All people become vague background.

“My impressions of them” turns into “whatthey think about me”.

That is to say, most of our impressions ofother people are related to “I”.

“I” is the starting point of all thinkingand all judgments.

This is due to our timidity and lack ofgreat aspiration.

If we can let go too much attention to “I”,

We may receive and evaluate incominginformation more precisely,

and to better shoulder our responsibilities

and to benefit others.

“我”可不是什么好东西

有的人贪利，

有的人贪名，

虚荣心重、爱面子，

就是贪名的体现，

它犹如一个沉重的枷锁，

把我们锁住不得自在。

当我们观察到这种心出现时，

它就不会继续增盛；

进一步要去思维：

一百个人心中有一百个“我”，

其实自己想维护的这个“完美形象”

根本就不存在。

我们在跟人相处的时候，

不知不觉就会陷入一种状态：

周围所有人都成了模糊的背景，

对他们的印象都变成了

“Ta是怎么看我的”，也就是说，

我们对他人的大部分印象

都跟“我”有关，

所有思考、感受、判断等等的出发点

都是围绕“我”的。

这都是内心比较怯弱、

发心不足的缘故。

如果我们能够放下对自我的在意，

就能够更准确地接受外在的信息，

更好地承担、利他。
