Just two months ago, a "double punch" from fate struck his head in just one day. The real estate company went bankrupt, all the capital accumulated for so long "went away". At the same time, the affair outside broke out, the wife filed for divorce. That night, he stayed awake looking up at the ceiling, extremely deadlocked. Near dawn, he went to the bridge near his house, his hand already placed on the cold iron railing, intending to throw himself into the fast-flowing water.
But at that moment, he suddenly thought: If my child also falls into this dead end later, who will save him? And my wife will belong to someone else!
He pulled his hand back, had to live first and walked bewildered back near his house, making a bowl of rare pho.
The next morning, he sneaked out to the "human market" to find a job. Seeing his tall and muscular body, the porters thought he was hiring someone. When they found out he was applying for a job, they gathered to cause trouble and chase him away because they were afraid of competing for a job. So, he left and applied to work as a technology motorbike taxi driver.
That day, while waiting for customers, he accidentally heard a passage of the Dao Duc Kinh online. He felt it was too much, like the saying: "Too hard to break". Looking back, it was just because of his arrogant, hot-tempered and excessive ambition that he broke his own happiness.
He began to fumble to find and read the entire Dao Duc Kinh. He said that there are things that sound paradoxical but upon reflection he finds correct. Like the saying: "In blessing there is misfortune, in misfortune there is blessing". Thanks to the fall in the middle of the road, he was able to break away from his mistress "gold digger" with a mouth as sweet as sugarcane. Thanks to being at a dead end, he realized the boundless love of his parents when they quietly sold the land in their hometown to shoulder debts for their children. And also from that pile of rubble, his wife, after bitter anger, turned back, working with him to start over.
Stopping the car in front of the editorial office gate, he looked at the amount of money displayed on the application screen and sighed, the amount of money is too little compared to the sweat and effort of running in the dusty sun. But then he laughed and said: "The Bible says: "Knowing enough is wealth". I am practicing knowing enough here. After driving home in the evening, I will continue to study. Some people spend their whole lives learning everything!
I watched his big back blend into the hurried crowd, suddenly thinking that in this vortex of making a living, it turns out that people sometimes heal themselves with just a few ancient teachings and a light welcome to start over.
