Is there anything more bitter than losing a father in childhood, a wife in middle age and a child in old age?

There are three great misfortunes in life: the loss of father in youth, the loss of spouse in middle age and the loss of children in old age. When a teenager loses his father, he loses his dependence; If you lose your spouse in middle age, you lose your partner; When he lost his children in old age, he lost hope. Dependence and partner may still be there, but without hope, the meaning of life is gone. Therefore, if life encounters these three major misfortunes, it should be said that it is very bitter. If there is anything more bitter than this, it is indeed an injustice to him by fate and a saint forged by heaven.

There is no wonder in the world, and there must be people who are more bitter than this. There are many famous people in the world who not only encounter these three kinds of misfortunes, but also have a rough life. They either starved to death, were tortured by treacherous court officials, or died in the war. Therefore, celebrities and saints have a lot of hardships, as Mencius said: "If the sky is going to descend, we must first suffer from their minds, work hard on their bones and muscles, starve their bodies, empty their bodies, and mess with their actions." Therefore, patience has benefited them a lot. "

Since ancient times, sages have had many sufferings. People often have not experienced hardships and it is difficult to achieve great things. On the surface, the days of suffering are very bitter and terrible, which may make some people depressed and unable to rise. But suffering can be said to be the most sincere friend in our life. Because what really makes you mature, strong, persistent and persistent is not others, but the hardships we have experienced in life, which can spur you to make greater progress. Therefore, when a person is experiencing difficulties and hardships, remember: nothing is difficult in the world, nothing is impossible to a willing mind; He who suffers hardships is a master. Face the difficulties, never back down!
