Can you believe it?
Once, 42 yuan was just an ordinary number, but now, on social platforms, it has become a topic that causes people to think deeply, which makes people feel a lot of emotion.
The video, filmed by a mother, is to the effect that her family is financially strapped and has only $350 a month to live on.
However, it happened to meet the birthdays of her two daughters, so she spent 42 yuan to buy toothpick meat, chicken feet and cold vegetables, and organized a small party to celebrate.
But this caused attacks from netizens, who sneered in the comment section and even made remarks that contained a lot of flaunting wealth.
In this regard, many netizens are very curious, why did a simple birthday dinner cause so many netizens to be "disgusted"?
What's even more difficult to understand is that this mother is just sharing her daily life, who has she offended?
The rhetoric of these netizens was full of indifference and self-show-off, and even verbally attacked the two children.
They seem to be basing their happiness on the suffering of others.
The world is changeable, and just because you're doing well doesn't mean that everyone else is doing the same.
Some netizens actually began to worry that they would be reincarnated in their family next time, and this worry seemed a little redundant.
One party shows off a luxurious life, and the other party is reluctant to spend dozens of dollars in order to create warmth.
Such a contrast not only reflects the division of society, but also makes people wonder why the culture of comparison is so prevalent, and whether it is necessary to blame each other in trivial matters of life.
Do successful people really understand people who are in trouble?
In this regard, what is even more odious is that some netizens even compare their own pets with their children.
said that his cat knew that he had to make a skewer, and he would skin the cat with his own hands, and the dog's monthly expenses were as high as 6,000 yuan, and the whole remark was full of mockery.
The appearance of these comments is very unpleasant.
Have you ever thought about how that mother would feel when she saw it?
Compared with the vast majority of netizens, they did not put themselves in their shoes, but showed off themselves and showed their superior life.
They only think about themselves and speak from their own point of view, without a trace of compassion and respect.
This kind of evil behavior is truly intolerable.
What's more, these netizens even showed their superiority in the comment area of leaving messages for people in need.
But what makes people speechless is that in the comment area of the rich, they whispered and groveled to express envy and admiration.
This kind of behavior of "stepping on one and holding one" is very worthy of people's thought.
But what is more noticeable is why people's perceptions are so different in this society?
Confucius said: "For the sake of politics and virtue, such as the North Star, live in its place and all the stars are together." ”
In today's society, having a university diploma, especially from a prestigious university, has become the threshold for elite qualifications.
Many families have invested a lot of energy and resources in their quest for recognition from these prestigious universities.
But the end result is that the elite still dominates their own field.
The meritocracy system began as a way to break down class rigidity and achieve social mobility, but sadly, it eventually led to a hereditary system of elites.
For many, admission to a prestigious university is a guarantee of social status and economic opportunity.
This phenomenon of chasing prestigious universities has led to an increasing concentration of educational resources in a few top universities, resulting in an unfair distribution of educational opportunities.
This provides the soil for the hereditary system of the elite, as they have more resources and opportunities to pass on their advantages to the next generation.
The excellent grade system was originally designed to motivate each student's hard work and creativity.
In reality, however, it has become a mechanism of heavy pressure and unfair competition.
In order to pursue high scores, some students have to carry an excessive academic burden, sacrificing their interests to directly cut off all extracurricular interest classes.
With the progress of the times, we will inevitably see this phenomenon of "being proud when others are frustrated" on major social platforms.
There is one more obvious exception.
In the video, she is a young mother in a rural area who usually likes to post some short videos of herself singing on the Internet.
Although she is only twenty years old, the heavy farm work and hard life with the baby already make her look like she is forty years old.
Her video copy also revealed her helplessness: "Perhaps, there is nothing wrong with the road, the wrong thing is just the choice."
But her comment area has become a group of hard-hit areas to show her superiority.
Whenever she posts a video of how hard she is holding her child, a large number of people show how good her husband and mother-in-law are, how happy her marriage is, and more than 10,000 living expenses per month, so that she can enjoy air conditioning and takeout at home.
She posted a video of herself in tears and helplessly facing the mountain.
At the bottom, a large number of people posted their retouched beauty photos:
"35 years old, unmarried and childless";
"In 98 years, I was unmarried and had no children, and I was happy every day and knew what I wanted."
Perhaps, you would think that she married at a young age, which is why she is in such a difficult situation.
even thinks that this is all because she is asking for a lot of blessings, and she does not have the understanding to enjoy the freedom of being single like you.
But in fact, she was born in a rural area and did not have a good education since she was a child.
Is it all her fault that her family encouraged her to marry and have children early on and live the same life as other rural women?
For another example, someone posted a post on a social platform saying that he was very envious of his colleagues who grew up in a loving environment.
In contrast, he did not have the love and support of his family, and gave everything for his family, but in the end, no one reached out to help him.
These examples illustrate how this phenomenon of "getting complacent when others are frustrated" is not uncommon on major social platforms.
Netizens often take pleasure in their own sense of superiority and show their happiness and success when they see the pain and frustration of others.
Not only does this behavior lack empathy and empathy, but it can further increase the suffering of those who are already emotionally vulnerable.
Those who suffer may not be in a difficult situation because of their own choices or personal reasons, they may come from a variety of backgrounds and face a variety of challenges.
Of course, we can't rule out some cases, and what you see may also be the result of online script writing.
Like an example not long ago, someone claimed to have instant noodles for their mother-in-law, but in fact it may have been a self-directed performance.
But we also cannot deny that this is the case, and poverty is not uncommon.
If you get out and see more of the rest of the world, and see all the different facets of the world, you won't be fooled by the prosperity in front of you.
The same is true in the comment section, there are really people who can't afford to have a birthday, or even never have a birthday.
Please don't laugh at others, everyone will face the same fate when they lie in the coffin.
Don't try to deny others the happiness of your own mind.
We should respect and cherish everyone's life and care for each other's well-being.
And those so-called "elite arrogance" hope to reap their sharpness.
After all, the Li Jiaqi incident of "all the girls" who talked about it all day long was a lesson in blood.
During a live broadcast, some consumers questioned the increasing price of the brand in the barrage.
And Li Jiaqi replied to netizens like a cannon: "Don't talk nonsense, where is it expensive? The eyebrow pencil has always been 79, and it is difficult to be a domestic brand!"
He even said: "Sometimes reflect on yourself, have you been paid more for so many years? Have you ever worked seriously?"
This remark made the assistant who was there feel frightened and stunned.
As Li Jiaqi questioned whether the workers worked hard and whether they reflected on their own problems.
A virtual currency called "Huaxizi" began to appear frequently on the Internet and became a common unit for migrant workers:
"My salary for August has arrived, a total of 79 Huaxizi. ”
"I was one minute late today, and I deducted 0.6 Huaxizi for attendance. ”
"I worked overtime on Sunday and earned 1.5 Huaxizi. But it cost 52 yuan for lunch and dinner, and finally made a net profit of 0.8 Huaxizi. ”
For the brand, the cooperation with Li Jiaqi cost sky-high advertising space fees, but did not bring rolling sales, but fell into the ridicule, criticism and accusations of the whole network.
In general, the Internet is not a place outside the law, everyone must keep their own moral bottom line, let alone build their own happiness on the pain of others.
