Foxconn’s shocking “12 jumps”, a series of employees jumping from buildings in succession, has brought to light the importance that society on both sides of the Taiwan Strait attaches to the issue of suicide. Although there are many different reasons why these young employees chose to end their lives, whether it was due to work pressure, emotional entanglement, prolonged illness, or depression, in fact, as long as you learn how to change your mind in life, a small gesture can get rid of a great deal of depression.
Don’t let the highs and lows of your emotions get the better of you! A survey conducted by the Taiwan Suicide Prevention Society and the National Center for Suicide Prevention and Control found that as many as 5.5% of people had suicidal thoughts in the past year, and 18.5% had suicidal thoughts in their lifetime. Compared to people who did not have suicidal thoughts in the past week, those who were assessed to have depression were 26 times more likely to have suicidal thoughts. This shows that depression has become a high risk factor for suicidal ideation.
What is depression? Depression is actually a normal human emotion. When you encounter frustration, loss, or dissatisfaction, you will inevitably get bored and unhappy, but if the depression is too serious, lasts too long, and cannot be pulled back, you should be careful. Heart disease needs heart medicine! This point is consistent with both Chinese and Western medicine. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee, a Chinese medicine doctor, cites the ancient saying “I have to think about myself three times a day” as an example to emphasize the importance of learning to look at oneself and learning to “change one’s mind”.
From the theory of Chinese medicine, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee explained that in fact, many people face frustration, loss or dissatisfaction, all rooted in the needs of the physical body. For example, there is a natural timetable in the body, which naturally develops, grows, ages and becomes sick as people age. If we focus too much on the physical role of the body and pursue wealth, beauty and desire, we will only nurture negative and evil thoughts. Similarly, life is born with good thoughts, and in Chinese medicine, this is the initial goodness of human nature.
This innate hidden goodness is what the ancients called wisdom, which is different from the knowledge that ordinary people pursue by studying and learning. The ancient people emphasized that wisdom is learned from the inside, not from the outside. How to cultivate the root of wisdom in life? Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee said that introspection is the first step, often reflecting on the light within oneself, looking at life, looking at the bright side of the heart, and thinking, “Do I really need this? Why do I want to possess them? ” Then you will understand that many things are actually not as important as you think. The smarter modern people are, the more knowledge they absorb from books, the more they are unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood, between right and wrong, between what is really needed and what is not.
Only by learning to look at oneself and reflecting on oneself will one be able to generate compassion, love, filial piety, friendship and other positive forces, and only then will one love oneself and know how to care for others, and these are all good thoughts that come from the good roots within. Only by learning to turn one’s mind to light and joy can one truly discover inner happiness and truly get out of depression and panic disorder. Only by learning to cultivate one’s inner wisdom and inner goodness will one learn to wait patiently when encountering difficulties in life, and only then will one learn to accept them and break through them, and even to push oneself to others, and slowly keep one’s heart happy even in difficult situations, he emphasized.
A healthy liver gives you the energy you need to live life to the fullest!
