Getting used to loss is the stan

Good morning, Today I want to try a new way to learn English: Translate great Chinese articles into English. Most of us, most of the time, we try to translate English articles into Chinese, but why can't we do the vice versa.

I want to give it a try.

Today this article is from GuoPing Zhou,《习惯失去是成熟人生的标配》，the English name can be 《Getting used to loss is the standard for a mature life》.

In retrospect of the past years of my life, the sufferings from it teach me a lesson: we have to get used to loss as human beings.

Generally speaking, the human is satisfied on getting not losing. we gain our lives since our parents give birth to us. And from that moment on, we get clothes, toys, love and caring from our parent, get professional training and get cultivated by the society. after being an adult, naturally, we make effort to gain love, spouse, and child, to get money, assets, reputation, social status, the success of the business and the acknowledgment by others, etc.

Of course, there is a natural balance in gaining and losing, we gain many things as we lose the equal. it's easier for us to suppose gaining as a natural, normal thing comparing with losing, and the more we lose, the more upset we are, there must be a moment we decide to regain what we lose, to make it up.

It seems like each of us has a blueprint inside, the journey of life is consist of a series of things we get from the outside, and losses are like dots we must get rid of. In a word, despite how frequent it is happening in our life, we don't like it at all.

But actually, it is a normal phenomenon throughout our life. Life is a process with constant gaining and losing as well. we lose our relatives, out parents, our siblings, and end up with our own lives. All we have got in our life will be nothing and we will lose them all after we die.

These pieces above are from the article, and what I get inspired by this is that :

Yes, we lose so much in our life, but it also teaches us to be mature, to seek for the meaning of life, to become independent and eager to find the one we love and enjoy the life we want it to be.
