We have been using French language for a long time environment In English, it is not exactly the same range as the meaning of returning to France. For example, French society (particularly members of its older generation) explicitly recognizes the value of the environment in the sense of collected friends, acquaintances, and relationships with regular and frequent contact. Maintaining a good environment is an important task to lead a good life. Robert Waldinger No words are used With the new 1 hour big big video abovehowever, he comes from a different cultural background. He is an American, one is a Harvard psychiatrist, and he happens to be a Zen Buddhist priest. However, he will truly agree with the importance of the environment to human happiness.
As the fourth long term director Harvard study of adult development; For over 85 years, Waldinger has kept an eye on the happiness of his subjects. Early in the video, he states that half of them are “a kind of biological setpoint,” with 10% “based on our current living environment” and the remaining 40% being under our control. He explains that the only most important factor in the fluctuations in our happiness is our relationship. To measure that aspect of our own life, we need to ask ourselves these questions: “Do I have enough connections to my life?” “Are there any warm and supportive relationships?” “What do I get from the relationship?”
Of course, good and bad relationships, energy-filled relationships and people who emit energy. For the most part, Waldinger says, can develop good relationships and even bad relationships can be modified or approached in advantageous ways. What makes learning so important is that lack of relationships, or loneliness – can make as much physical sacrifice as obesity or intense smoking. Alas, ever since television invaded our homes after World War II, we have lived with a rapidly and constantly increasing force that makes it difficult for us to form and maintain relationships. At this point, we are “constantly distracted by our amazing screens,” so we struggle to pay attention to even those we think we love. This is the arrival of Zen.
The attention, as one of Waldinger’s own teachers in the tradition, was “the most basic form of love,” and meditation was always a reliable way of cultivating it. Such practices reveal that our own minds are “muddy and confused,” and we are not far from this perception to the understanding that “whose minds are messy and confused.” Having a clear view of our own suspicious impulses and stimulating flaws helps us to accept those same qualities in others. “You can imagine that others understand it all. We are the only ones who have ups and downs in our lives,” says Waldinger, but the truth is, “Everyone has ups and downs. In the end, we don’t get it.” The fleeting nature of satisfaction is only made up of one aspect of Zen’s Zen, so we need to accept it. There is nothing that lasts forever. Certainly our lives are not of members of our environment either, so if we want to enjoy them, it would be better to pay attention to them while we can.
