Time flies, in a blink of an eye, we have come to 2022, and everything around us has undergone earth-shaking changes, especially in the development of science and technology, which makes our lives more convenient and beautiful. Unconsciously, our quality of life is also improving, but in the process, have we also found something different?
There may be times when we don't particularly care, but if you look closely at everything around you, you will definitely find something interesting. Not long ago, I went back to the village, just in time for a funeral in our village, which made me really find that even the funeral in our village has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it is getting worse and worse, very speechless, some things appeared, but also let me have a deeper understanding of the people now, let me tell you in detail.
First, the rural funeral has become sour, and people are helpless and helpless
When I return to my hometown, the saddest thing is the death of the old man, although this has become an inevitability, but every time I hear the news, there will still be an indescribable feeling in my heart, especially when you know this old man, that feeling is more complicated. And in our case, when the old man dies, the family needs to do a lot of things, so they also need someone to help, but now the situation has changed a lot.
The original spirit of mutual assistance has disappeared, replaced by commercial companies, all things are solved by them, and the family only needs to pay for it, which also makes the funeral more and more commercialized and loses its original meaning, but no one can change all this now, and it also makes everyone more helpless about the world.
Second, the style of pomp and circumstance is prevalent
People will always face a lot of things in their lives, there are happy, there are sad, and the funeral is heavy and sad, but some families today regard the funeral as a happy thing, especially the rich, they feel that the funeral is a good opportunity to show off their family, so in the funeral, they will make a big show, all things are the best, whether it is a coffin or a band, only in this way, can let others know how good the conditions of their home are, but they did not expect that this practice will make others have more negative emotions。
The trend of comparison is also getting more and more serious, and some families even spend all their savings and borrow a large amount of money because of the funeral, which not only causes a lot of pressure on the family's economy, but also has an impact on the harmony of the family, but such people do not realize this, but just feel that it is the right thing to do.
3. Treat the funeral as a happy event
Originally, the funeral was a solemn and solemn thing, but now some families regard the funeral as a happy event, and are keen to do something that others can't think of, and some even directly invite the song and dance troupe to come, as well as fireworks, all in order to create a festive atmosphere, but I didn't expect that this practice is very disrespectful to the deceased, and it also makes the people present feel very indignant.
In the face of everything now, many villagers are very helpless, they also want to change the current situation, but there is no way, so they can only bear it silently, hoping that one day, people can re-realize the meaning of mourning, and stop treating it as a happy event.
