I read a story about an eagle on the Internet yesterday. Moved and shocked, there is such a blood and tears story behind such a plagiaristic animal. I didn't like its image very much in the past, but now it looks so lovely. When I thought of the eagle, I thought of the poor rabbit.
The eagle is the longest-lived bird in the world and can live to be 70 years old. But when the eagle lives to be 40, it will face a choice between life and death! This is mainly because when it reaches the 40th year of its life, the eagle's claws begin to age, unable to catch prey forcefully; its beak becomes long and curved and hangs to the position of its chest; its wings grow thick and thick feathers, making its wings heavy and difficult to fly.
At this time, the eagle has only two choices: either wait for death or go through a very painful process of rebirth. If you want to be reborn, the eagle must fly to the top of the mountain alone and prepare for rebirth at the top of the mountain. This is a long and terrible process, and the reborn eagle has to endure great pain and severe physical trauma. The first step in rebirth is to remove the aging beak. The eagle rubbed its head against the rough rock and rubbed the aged beak off layer by layer until it was completely peeled off. At this time, the eagle can no longer swallow food, it does not eat or drink, rely on not much energy in the body to support its own life, waiting quietly in the pain and suffering. A few months later, the new beak slowly grew and the eagle began the second step of rebirth. When the new beak grew out, the eagle used it to pull out the aging toenails from its claws, spilling blood one by one.
Then there was a painful and long wait for the dying eagle to grow new toenails in pain, and at this time it had to get through the last hurdle: pulling out its long and heavy feathers with its new toenails.
When the new feathers grew out, the eagle was reborn like Nirvana!
With a new beak, new claws and new feathers, the eagle can prey again, and the reborn eagle can live for another 30 years!
It sounds like the rebirth of Phoenix Nirvana in Buddhist sutras, in fact, people are also the same, and often face the test of fire bath and rebirth in their lives. If you want to start a new process, you have to give up your old life and habits, and then you can fly again like an eagle. But we often do not dare or are unwilling to give up our old thoughts, habits and lives, even if we know that maintaining the status quo is the end of life, but we do not take the step of rebirth. So, I think what we need is the courage to innovate and the determination to be reborn.
It reminds me of the novel "the Kite Runner", which I have just finished. In my opinion, it is a good book. The protagonists in the book lived in Afghanistan in the 1970s, but they chose to escape because of the war. I think this is also a kind of rebirth, because the protagonist's father gave up his mansion in wealthy areas of Afghanistan and the respect of Afghans to come to the United States, starting as a part-time worker at a gas station. Maybe the new life didn't bring him much happiness, but at least it kept him away from disaster.
The eagle succeeds because it dares to challenge itself to its limits. We will all be moved by it to make such a difficult and important choice, and shocked by its strength to endure pain and suffering! This reminds me of Gou Jian, the king of Yue, who never forgot national humiliation and endured humiliation. After eighteen years of hardship and hardship, he finally defeated the State of Wu and completed the great cause of national restoration. If he had complained about his self-abandonment at that time, how could he have made a glorious achievement in history? How can Yue be reborn again?
Life is about choice, although the road is long, but there are only a few steps in the critical time. If giving up means dying, why not fight like an eagle? There are several struggles in life, there is only one chance for an eagle, and our life is limited. Who doesn't want to have a magnificent life of chic and unrestrained? Victory is not conceited, defeat is not discouraged, in the face of difficulties need the eagle's persistent and fearless spirit. Confidence is half of success, as long as you aim like a rock and work hard, even if you sharpen it like the King of Yue for more than ten years, you will make a comeback one day. Success doesn't just sit back and enjoy it.
The transformation of an eagle is a spirit, a spirit of courage and perseverance. I think this is the process of Phoenix rebirth in the fire. In fact, although the process of choice is a painful process, the pain of missing a good opportunity while waiting and waiting is thousands of times more painful than that of the former. Instead of living in painful regret, it is better to be reborn like an eagle through a painful process of transformation. Most of the time, what we need is the courage and determination to reform ourselves like an eagle.
Let us be tough, like eagles, to achieve transformation and get a new life.
So, when you encounter trials and tribulations in your life, dare to give yourself courage and strength, and dare to be reborn like an eagle.
