Do you find that times are changing with each passing day? Life is becoming more and more impetuous, and it is difficult for anyone to really have the attitude of "I am humble, but I am virtuous and sincere" like the ancient laity.
I know that people have their own pursuits. They may have lofty aspirations or hope to live a grounded life. These are not the most important things. As long as you sincerely adhere to a childlike innocence and stick to the direction of hard work, you will not lose the direction of life.
There are many people around me who are confused all day. They go to bed late and get up even later every day. They often wake up and never get up, preferring to "lie dead" in bed. It pains me to see them repeat such a lifeless and mediocre life every day. Sometimes I really can't stand it. If there is really no way, I will talk to them about life and ideals. But as it turns out, it's unnecessary for me to do so, and we will never wake up the person who pretends to sleep. A friend joked with me, and I remember it deeply, "Changing yourself is God, and trying to change others is mental illness".
Many people lose themselves unconsciously, blindly envy those who were born with "golden spoons", and feel that they have come to the end of their lives as soon as they are born. There are also younger brothers and sisters who are born beautiful, beautiful and versatile. What they can see in their eyes is their superficial brilliance, but the sweat and sadness behind them are invisible and ignored by them. Life is too impetuous. How many people are willing to use their brains and hearts to feel the hard and sad stories behind them after watching the appearances visible to the naked eye? Many people just take it for granted that they are so powerful and famous, as long as they just do it casually.
I thought so before, but when I experienced it personally, I deeply felt the sadness and difficulty. Everyone's life is not easy. If you want something, you must give it up. Nothing can be taken for granted without giving. Everyone is like this, without exception, it's really not.
In the eyes of many people, beautiful and handsome people with good external conditions are more likely to succeed than those of us who are plain. They think those people can get more opportunities by their own skins. Maybe so, but sometimes I think we should be glad that we are not so outstanding externally. In fact, to some extent, we are lucky.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "beauty is a disaster" and "beauty is unlucky". The "Red Valley Beach Incident" in Nanchang some time ago is a living example. If you don't have enough strength to match your beautiful face, then you are unfortunate in the "big dye vat" of society and will bring you troubles and pains that ordinary people can't match.
