Where is your heart(心不在焉)
(戴聖)是漢王朝時代的一個重要的儒家學者。

如果你想要修養好自己的品德，那麼你最先應該做的就是要檢視自己的內心。
你如果感到憤怒，你就不能保持心情的平靜。
你如果感到恐懼，你就不能保持心情的平靜。
你的嗜好會影響你的判斷。
你的憂慮會影響你的決定。
這當下，你真的活著嗎。
你的眼睛每天看見許多事情，但是你真的有去感受你所看見的嗎。
你的耳朵每天聽見許多話語，但是你真的有去感受你所聽到的嗎。
你的嘴巴每天吃進許多食物，但是你真的有去感受你所吃到的嗎。
你的心是一切的根源。
如果你想要修養好自己的品德，那麼你最先應該做的就是要檢視自己的內心。

你有多久沒有關注周圍的人事物了呢?你是否有專心的感受當下所做的每一件事情呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
