A leisurely life that begins with the possession of a game character

"Don't put the blame on yourself. The real cause should be that your classmate's girlfriend cheated on you, not that you checked the surveillance footage to clear your own name. Don't blame yourself too much, because it wasn't your fault." Zhang Lan advised.

Mistakes are inevitable in life. Appropriate self-reflection can help us adjust our own behavior and constantly improve ourselves, but excessive self-blame will only make people feel exhausted and eventually turn into serious mental exhaustion.

Our lives are like water, with endless vitality. However, if we attack it with regret, sadness and self-blame, we will cut off this stream of water.

Emotions can be good or bad. Only when you let your emotions flow and are aware of them can you prove that you are embracing and accepting them. Self-blame can help you see the bottom line of your moral values, but excessive self-blame will only lead to a heavier psychological burden and ultimately self-punishment.

When it comes to cause and effect, a series of images will emerge in many people's minds, including people who suffer from chronic ulcers, people who die in car accidents, people who commit suicide due to emotional entanglements, people who die young due to congenital diseases, people who are the richest but die early from cancer, and so on.

Are these causal relationships? Of course they are, so those celebrities who died young, those who suffered from strange diseases, etc. are always used as negative examples to educate those who are still stubborn. From this perspective, promoting causality can indeed make some people wake up, which can be regarded as a merit.

Whether it is Taoist practice or Buddhist practice, both are encouraging people to correct their words and deeds. Taoism emphasizes a clear mind and few desires, while Buddhism advocates the emptiness of the four elements and letting go. In fact, the principles are the same.

However, no matter what method is used for cultivation, the topic of karma cannot be avoided in the end. Karma itself does not belong to any religion, but is a universal law.

Many people are indifferent about the concept of cause and effect because it is invisible and intangible, and it always seems far-fetched to try to link what is happening now with a certain behavior in the past.

Of course, if we match what we did in a short period of time with the consequences, we can find the connection, but if the time period is long, especially if it involves things from the previous life, the persuasiveness of this cause and effect will be very weak.

Because of this, many people do not believe in cause and effect, but instead attribute everything that happens to "fate" or "coincidence." This is the logic of ordinary people.

In the eyes of practitioners, cause and effect is the law that determines a person's good or bad fortune. In fact, good or bad fortune is caused by oneself and has nothing to do with others.

Although people are the product of social relations, no one does not live in a web of cause and effect. Because of this understanding, practitioners often tremble with fear and tread on thin ice, constantly self-examination to eliminate bad causes. This process of constantly correcting oneself and eliminating bad karma can be called practice.

Therefore, the vast majority of practitioners focus on persuading people to do good, and the most powerful tool for persuading people to do good is the responsibility of cause and effect.

During the practice, some practitioners easily fall into a misunderstanding, that is, they attribute many difficult problems to cause and effect, especially diseases, setbacks and the like, and even like to associate them with ghosts and gods. This is a bit inappropriate.

Diseases, setbacks, and the like are indeed the result of karma, but when encouraging others to do good, one must also use appropriate methods, otherwise one will be considered an “alien”. Practicing and encouraging others to do good are meritorious deeds in themselves, but if one attributes everything to karma, one may fall into the trap of attachment, which is detrimental to one’s practice.

Humans are not gods and need to eat grains every day, so almost no one is free from illness. This is related to the changing of seasons, climate change, living habits and many other factors. For example, people who often go to bed late are prone to kidney deficiency. This is a natural cause and effect, so if we involve ghosts and gods, it would sound a bit "superstitious".

For another example, it is natural for a person with bad living habits, poor abilities, being withdrawn, unsociable and lazy to have bad fortune. If he changes his living habits, works harder and studies harder, his fortune will naturally improve, and there is no need to send away "enemies and creditors" or the like.

These issues need to be viewed dialectically. We cannot attribute all problems to ghosts and gods, and we cannot use cause and effect to answer all questions.

Back to the topic, Zhang Zhipeng felt that it was because of him that his classmate was hospitalized, and then because of the conflict between the treatment drugs and alcohol, he lost his life. He felt that he was at fault, but in Zhang Lan's opinion, there was no need to do so.

Because if we extrapolate in this way, we have to go back in time. We cannot regard Zhang Zhipeng's watching the surveillance camera as the cause. The cause should be that his classmates directly put the blame on Zhang Zhipeng without any investigation.

Wouldn't a normal person's mentality be to check the surveillance footage of the past few days of parking after the other party denies it? According to Zhang Zhipeng, something happened that night after he parked the car.

If his classmates were interested, they could have easily found out the cause of the accident by asking around and checking the surveillance. They would not have had to ask his girlfriend's brother to tell him that his car had been scratched, and then ask Zhang Zhipeng, who had taken the blame, to investigate who was the culprit.

In life, it is always man who does things and God who watches. Everything has cause and effect. Only by keeping oneself healthy, doing good deeds and not worrying about the future can one cultivate good fortune in life.

Being a human being is not something you can do whatever you want. If a person does not know how to behave, does evil things, has no conscience, does not talk about morality, is irresponsible, and does all kinds of bad things, then he will always be protected.

As the saying goes, if God allows a man to be mad, he will surely be destroyed. Don't think that no one will know if you do many evil things. God is fair and sees everything you do.

After all, it was just that Zhang Zhipeng's classmates thought it was easiest to put the blame on Zhang Zhipeng, without having to think about whether it was really Zhang Zhipeng who scratched the car.

After he spread the rumor, if someone told Zhang Zhipeng, what if Zhang Zhipeng gave him the money for car repairs, tolls, and gas if he couldn't explain it clearly?

Even if Zhang Zhipeng knew nothing, or pretended not to know, from then on, Zhang Zhipeng's reputation among his classmates was ruined. While he had a good reputation, he didn't have to repay any favors.

To put it more darkly, Zhang Zhipeng was reluctant to help him drive back to his hometown from Jiangcheng. He only agreed after he asked other classmates for help.

Now that the rumor has spread, he can further say that Zhang Zhipeng took the initiative to ask him to borrow the car, and he later disagreed because he was worried that something might happen. He had no choice but to find a friend as a witness, but something still happened.

Some things just don’t make sense, it all depends on how the people in the middle say it. At this time, a classmate told Zhang Zhipeng about the rumor, and he personally checked the surveillance and cleared his name.

Although this caused things to go from bad to worse, at least his reputation was cleared.
