In this fast-paced era, each of us is running for life and fighting for our dreams. However, in this noisy world, there is a group of people who have chosen a different path - celibacy. Today, I want to tell the story of a 78-year-old single man, whose silent back makes people think deeply.
In a small and peaceful village, there was an old man, and his name was Lieber. Li Bo is 78 years old, has never married in his life, and has no children and no daughters. Whenever the sun sets, he always sits alone in the courtyard, looking into the distance, and the expression on his face seems to reveal a trace of desolation. As the villagers know, Lieber was a staunch celibate in his youth, and he always said, "Freedom is like the wind, so why be bound to the cage of the world." ”
However, as the years go by, those former beliefs and ideals seem to be gradually blurred in the long river of time. Li Bo had no relatives by his side, no children's laughter, only the old locust tree he planted with his own hands, which seemed to be silently listening to his heart.
Speaking of Li Bo, there is a little story in the village that has been passed down for a long time. It was thirty years ago in the spring when Lieber rescued a lost child. The child's father was grateful and wanted to be rewarded with a large amount of money, but Li Bowan refused. The man was puzzled and asked, "Why don't you accept this heart?" and Li Bo smiled and said, "I save people, not in return." A free man does good deeds without the need for others to know. At that moment, Li Bo's image became even taller in the hearts of the villagers.
Back to reality, although Li Bo lives a worry-free life, he is inevitably lonely. His story has led many to reflect on the true meaning of celibacy. Yes, celibacy can bring freedom, but while enjoying freedom, it also comes at the cost of loneliness.
Celibacy isn't bad, it's just a life choice. Everyone has the right to plan their life according to their own wishes. However, we need to understand that there are two sides to any choice. Celibacy can mean more freedom and independence, but it can also come with loneliness and helplessness.
In Lieber's story, we see his persistence and belief, as well as the precipitation and thinking brought to him by the years. His life may be a portrayal of what many people may face in the future. We all want to have freedom and happiness, but in the process, we also need to think about how to balance the various relationships in our lives, and how to find the right point between freedom and responsibility.
