Ask about the fact that life and death are not reconciled

Jack London, American writer. Worked as a newsboy, miner, sailor, etc. After several years of struggle for his ideals, he finally wrote articles such as "Love Life", which shook the world.

In life, we will encounter many dangers. Danger is everywhere, and we don't know when they will come. Therefore, we must have the ability to protect ourselves. This reminds me of one thing.

That night, my sister and I finished dinner and walked down the path of the neighborhood. The street lights were very dim, and there was not a single passerby, and I could hear my own walking clearly. I held my sister's hand tightly and walked briskly towards the house.

Hold it! A voice broke the silence of the night. I turned my head alarmedly and found four young men walking side by side with their shoulders hooked up blocking the way back.

One of the young men wore a black hat and had an unlit cigarette in his mouth. The other three were carrying crossbody bags and wearing junior high school uniforms, apparently still students. I thought to myself:

I don't know them, I have no grievances, they must have recognized the wrong person. So, I took my sister's cold hand and ran briskly home. "Stop, rob!

One of the youths shouted loudly and helped the black-hatted youth light a cigarette. "Is there any money? They asked, and walked up to me, step by step.

We are all elementary school students, how can we have any money? I whispered a word as I watched their vague shadows get closer and closer, and my heart felt like I had lifted a bucket of fifteen hangs—seven up and eight down. Seeing that I didn't give money, the young man in the black hat said to a student next to him

Take the knife out. Although it was a quiet voice, my sister and I could hear it from two paces away. "Sister, what should we do?

My sister looked into my eyes and said in despair. "Don't be afraid, they don't dare to do anything to us. I pretended to be calm.

In fact, nervousness and fear have long occupied my heart. For the safety of my sister and my own life, I looked at the dark night sky and took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, thinking of a way out of danger: should I shout "help"?

But there's no one here. Doing so not only does not achieve the effect of getting out of danger, but it will provoke them and threaten their own lives. Then you have to gamble.

I squeezed my sister's wet hand, rushed out of the grass next to me, held my breath, and crouched down by the small wall at the entrance of the stairway.

Big brother, do you want to chase them? ”

Forget it, forget it. ”

My sister and I looked at their shrinking bodies, breathed a sigh of relief, and tiptoed home.

This incident made me understand that money is something outside of the body. When danger strikes, preserving one's life is more important than anything else. When encountering danger, we must not panic, we must rack our brains to find a way to get out of danger, and appropriately use the skills of self-protection.

Only in this way can we face all kinds of sudden dangers and survive better.

On the evening of November 16, 2004, when Yuan Yuan was doing her homework as usual, Yuan Yuan's mother helped her husband into the bathroom and turned on the water heater to boil water to change the dressing for her husband. Yuan Yuan's father accidentally injured his foot at work and needed to change dressing and soak his feet every day. Due to the cold weather, they closed their doors and windows.

At about 9 o'clock in the evening, Yuan Yuan came out to find her mother after finishing her homework, but she didn't even hear an answer after shouting a few times. She came to the bathroom door and heard the sound of running water coming from inside, and at the same time smelled the smell of gas. She quickly pushed the door open, only to see that both parents had passed out on the bathroom floor.

Faced with this scene, Yuan Yuan did not panic. Yuan Yuan remembered the emergency self-rescue knowledge learned in class, and according to the method taught by the teacher, he first quickly closed the valve of the liquefied gas tank, and then opened the doors and windows. Because there was gas left at the scene, she was worried that calling ** might cause ** or a fire, so she picked up her father's mobile phone and ran outside to dial.

After that, she also called for help from several relatives.

After receiving the police information, the police arrived at the scene within 3 minutes. Immediately after, the hospital ambulance also arrived. After all-out rescue, at 12 o'clock that night, Yuan Yuan's father finally woke up.

At around 2 o'clock in the morning the next day, Yuan Yuan's mother was also pulled back from the death line. The doctor told Yuan Yuan's relatives: "It's really hanging!

20 minutes later, the couple would definitely be hopeless. ”

Death has not yet come to us when we exist, and when we die, we are no longer there. If a person correctly understands that there is nothing to be afraid of ending life, there is nothing to be afraid of being alive for him.

Regarding death, the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus used this statement to combat the fear of death: "On the habit of thinking that death has nothing to do with us ......You have to get used to believing that death is something that has nothing to do with us, because all good and evil are in the senses, and death is nothing but the loss of the senses.

For this reason, the correct recognition that death has nothing to do with us makes us happy about the fact that there is death in life, and this understanding does not add endless time to life, but liberates us from the desire for immortality. If a person correctly understands that there is nothing to be afraid of ending life, there is nothing to be afraid of being alive for him. So the most terrible of all evils, death, is insignificant to us, because when we existed, death did not come to us, and when we died, we were gone.

Death is leaving a great deal of grief and pain for the living. The dead, of course, don't know and don't care anymore, while the living realize its horror because of death. That is to say, man dies not for himself, but for the bystanders.

If a person correctly understands that there is nothing to be afraid of terminating existence, there is nothing to be afraid of being alive for him.

Fish, I want it, and I want it; You can't have both, and you can't have both, and those who give up the fish and take the bear's paw are also. Life is also what I want, and righteousness is also what I want; You can't have both, and those who sacrifice their lives to take righteousness are also.

Since ancient times, no one has died, leaving Dan to take care of his sweat.
