I am very tired of watching small videos every day, but my mind is like a movie, picture after picture, and I don't remember anything when I think about it carefully, the fast pace of the information age makes it difficult for people's hearts to precipitate.
A book I recently read that inspired me a lot was J.M. Coetzee's "Collection of Moral Tales", which consists of short stories, which is very easy to read, but the content is very vivid and profound, and it still makes people feel evocative when they close the book.
One of the stories I would like to share is about an old man who is about to celebrate his 65th birthday, and his son and daughter come to celebrate her.
Because the old man decorates himself excessively, it makes the younger generation very embarrassed, and the adult world is tired enough of all kinds of performances and disguises, and I want to see the truth and cordiality of my relatives at home.
The children's uncontrollable words undoubtedly hurt the old man's self-esteem, but do the children really understand the motives and demands of the old man's abnormal behavior today?
It is a terrible thing for a person to face their old age alone, who will be there tomorrow cannot be defined, there are too many accidents and uncertainties waiting ahead, and the old people have less and less control over them.
When there is no absolute sense of security as a guarantee, their hearts are more empty and helpless, and once such emotions arise, they are more eager to be understood and cared for.
Aging is an irresistible subject in life, and when you are not faced with this option, you can sigh lightly, but when you have to go on in an irreversible environment, you will know what kind of puzzle it is.
Children want to send their blessings and love on every special day, while more elderly people are unwilling to admit their powerlessness in front of their younger generations.
Zhang Ailing once wrote in her works: Life is a gorgeous robe, but it is crawling with lice.
People are willing to put away their unbearable and show their glamorous side to the world, but how can there be so much glamorous? Most people's lives are not just chicken feathers.
Choosing how to live is a person's cognitive level, and in the end, whether to seek nourishment from withinward or from outward to seek recognition depends on the individual's choice.
Each story in "The Collection of Moral Stories" is very short, but it can make people discover life themes that are worth exploring in depth, and it is really that the smaller the story, the easier it is to see the truth of human nature, which is very worth reading and thinking about.
