ポジティブであろうとするな https://t.co/YUXGMHJiGG 別にネガティブであろうとする必要もない。ハムレット“For there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.”の通り、態度を決めることはない。ただ中立であることが私たちを自由にする。

In the words of Taoist master Chuang Tzu:
There are no fixed limits. Time does not stand still. Nothing endures. Nothing is final…He who is wise sees near and far…He does not rejoice in success or lament in failure. The game is never over.
In practical terms, it means detaching. As a human, you will inevitably feel or think when stuff happens. If you’re stuck in traffic, late for a meeting, and freaking out, feeling bad, that’s OK. There’s no need to put a happy face on a sad day, but—if you don’t resist what is—things will shift without you trying. Likewise when you’re delighting in a win. Be wary, keep cool, understand that everything is tentative.
Have no fear—you won’t become an emotional or intellectual zombie. But you also won’t be a prisoner in a hell you created with expectations. And should that happen, the keys to freedom are already yours. Thoughts and feelings, it turns out, are fleeting, merely passing clouds.
万物は流転すーーー良いことも悪いことも、成功も、失敗も、喜びも悲しみも、思考も感情もーーただとどまることなかれ、といったところか?
