I played chess with my son and got a moral yesterday. The rule of chess is to protect the chess piece of king from being killed by other chess pieces . When it is dangerous, my king chess piece is gonna be killed , I racked my brain trying to protect him . It is so difficult for me to move other chess pieces . Then my son told me , you can step back the king . I was so stupid. How come I didn’t come up with that idea. Like in life we like struggling to dash forward to get more and will never stop and look back . We appear to get a lot when moving forward in fact we didn’t. So sometimes when we are in a bad situation and feel down, maybe stopping to meditate or stepping back properly can really benefit us. That is contrary thinking
