Text: Flipping through the books in his spare time
"I think in my heart that 'worrying about the future doesn't help, and no one can predict the future'.
……
I think it's enough to think clearly about today's day. ”
- "Worth it on earth"
Young people may not be easy to believe the words of Nakamura Tsuneko, the narrator of "Worth it on Earth", and always say that "everything is predetermined", how can we not make long-term plans for the future?
I think the key to reconciling this contradiction is that people look at problems from different perspectives at different stages of life.
Nakamura was 90 years old when she participated in the writing of "Worth it on Earth", so let's understand it this way: This is the experience of a person who looks back on his life. As for who this experience is suitable for and who is not suitable, it is up to everyone to choose.
Let's make a hypothesis about ourselves, assuming that we are also at the age of 90, how will we look at the past and how will we face the rest of our lives?
In my case, I would come to the same view as this old man: it is more important to have a good day than to worry about the future. At such an advanced age, how the future seems to become too clear and visible, and only the things that can be handled in one day can be changed.
People understand such a truth: only the rare are valued; only those who are lost regret and do not cherish.
The long-term plan of life is meant to take fewer detours and save some time. But things in the world are not easy and too many, so that every plan does not need to be adjusted and adjusted, and in the final summary, it is found that it is already 18,000 miles away from the original estimate.
But it is not that you can settle down with the encounter, I think that the matter of following the fate is basically an inherent part of a person's personality, and if you want to work hard, you persuade him to slow down and give up some "wants", only to be afraid that he will be anxious with you.
And there is a kind of comfortable person in the personality, and it is unrealistic for you to force him to set a long-term ambition and spell out a healthy road in the world.
Therefore, in addition to the age limit, this sentence of "Worth it in the world" also represents a certain attitude of life, as if the truth told by the long stream of thin water can also be explained by not being too ambitious.
When we listen to a 90-year-old man talk about her life insights, her age is a wonderful persuasive force.
