Buddhism says "no birth", Taoism advocates "long life", and Jesus Christ uses "eternal life". But all of them are used to describe the endless meaning of life in another sense. However, Laozi used the word "slow life" to express it.
What is the Taoist practice of "moving slowly towards life"? It is "composure". In life, take it slow. Opportunities in life do not come rushing down like the Niagara Falls, but rather trickle down like a gentle spring. Maturity in attitude is a quality of thought, much like making wine, which must be placed in a space free from external interference, becoming rich and intoxicating after decades.
The lifestyle of "slow life" is built on a foundation of calmness. "Most people in the world make mistakes because they are busy," and it is hard for ordinary people to find peace in their lives. They have restless minds when sleeping, and feel uneasy when they wake up; they deal with others all day long, engaging in intrigue and rivalry. Some are negligent and slow, some are unfathomably profound, and some are cautious in their words. Small fears make them anxious, while great terrors make them lose their souls. All these stem from their mental struggles, as if they keep their thoughts as solemn as oaths in their hearts, which means they hold onto victory opportunities. The mental struggle destroys their physical and mental health, making them like the grass and trees in autumn and winter, indicating that they are gradually destroying themselves, indulging in various things they do without being able to turn back; it makes their hearts closed as if sealed, indicating that they are aging and declining, binding themselves in self-made cocoons; they become extremely disheartened, with no trace of positive energy left.
