Text: Flipping through the books in his spare time
"When encountering something that cannot be solved, asking the child, the child blurting out the opinion, is often the most accurate and practical answer."
—— Sanmao, "Dear Sanmao"
Major and tedious things in work and life, using them to ask children for solutions, will certainly not work.
But the child dared to give the answer, and was so determined and calm, as if the solution was taken for granted.
Adults have too many worries and worries, sometimes like a wool thread wrapped around everything, colorfully tangled together, trying to find any kind of clue, it will be a big project.
For children, the world is simple, they see things that are not far-reaching, nor can they see the correlation between things, so they can give a definitive answer, or a relaxed "I don't know". In a sense, the child lives only in the present state.
This is often surprising. Children in the playground can play until they are sweating, pouring every ounce of energy and energy, and the next second, they can put their heads on the shoulders of their parents and sleep peacefully, as if the night of the world has come.
It's not so much a surprise as it is an envy.
When Sanmao said that she asked her child about things that could not be solved, I thought she was talking about a simple vision of the problem. Perhaps, we have all become too complex in this dizzying world, losing some of our authenticity.
When we look at children's fun, we find the fact that they can always focus on what we think is boring, and we have all been children and must have had similar concentration and happiness.
I don't think a child's answer to a question will be precise and practical, but if it's a question about life, I'm not so sure about what the child thinks and answers.
The beauty of words penetrates the literal and reaches the heart. "Flip the book in your spare time" Thank you for reading.
