阅读材料,回答问题。材料:你接收了春的绚烂和夏的繁荣,你也接收了春的张狂和夏的任性;你接收了生命从开始萌生,到逐渐成熟,这期间的种种苦恼、挣扎、失望、焦虑、怨愤和哀伤;你也容纳了它们的欢乐、得意、胜利、收获和颂赞。你告诉我:生命的过程注定是由激越到安详,由绚烂到平淡,一切情绪上的激荡终会过去,一切彩色喧哗终会消隐。如果你爱生命,你该不怕去体尝。因为到了这一天,树高千尺,叶落归根,一切终要回返大地,消失于那一片邈远深沉的棕土。到了沉埋在秋的泥土中,去安享生命最后的胜利,去吟唱生命真实的凯歌!生命不是虚空,它是如厚重的大地一般的真实而具体。因此,你应在执著的时候执著,沉迷的时候沉迷,清醒的时候清醒。如今,在这亚热带的蓝天白云间,我仍读到你智慧的低语。我不但以爱和礼赞的心情来记住生命的欢乐,也同样以爱和礼赞的心情去纪念——生命中难得出现的那几年的刻骨的悲酸与伤痛。而今后,我更要以较为冲淡的心情去了解,了解那属于你的冷然的清醒、超逸的豁达、不变的安详和永恒的宁静!(节选自罗兰《写给秋天》)问题: 请举例说明你是如何做的。
