we are all getting old

I said to a friend before, "My ideal old age life is to open a clinic of my own in a small remote place in our house with my wife, to raise a lovely Samoyed in my own small yard, and give it to the people who come and go. People see and talk about their illnesses, prescribe inexpensive medicines to treat intractable diseases, then go to the vegetable market when they have nothing to do, go on vacations to travel, they can harvest crops and do farm work, and finally they can grow old together in their own courtyard!"

Aging is the process of flowers withering and turning into fertilizer, and the beginning of happiness.

In fact, I am really looking forward to getting old. I think I can step into my sixty-year-old life in one step. I don’t care if my career is successful or not, and I don’t care if my love is real or not. I just want to hold the hand of my relatives who have been with each other for half their lives, on the street. Go for a walk, and then cross the road together, I have a white ponytail, you are holding a straight cane, we walk together slowly and tremblingly, don’t worry when the red light turns red, we still have to bend down and enjoy this confidently. Slow life, if we encounter a grumpy driver whistling at us, let the two of us hurry up, we can stand in the middle of the road with our hands on our hips and stare at him, and then spit at him viciously and say " If you have the ability, you can press it, hum".

Haha, the old man, you have to rely on the old to sell the old, you have to do all the bad things you didn't dare to do when you were young, you have to be a "gang boss" before you die, you have to bully the children together, grab their snacks, and torture them together Big kids, make them the trouble they made, and then spend the last few years happily regardless of the world.

Liberal Arts quotes

  • Jesse Fisher: I think one of the things I loved the most about being here was the feeling that anything was possible. It's just infinite choices ahead of you. You'd get out of school, and anything could happen. And then you do get out, and... life happens, you know'? Decisions get made. And then all those many choices you had in front of you are no longer really there. At a certain point, you just got to go, "Oh, I guess this is new its going down." And there's just something a little depressing about that.

  • Nat: Is your name... Ethan?

    Jesse Fisher: No, why?

    Nat: You look like an Ethan to me.

    Jesse Fisher: My name's not Ethan.

    Nat: How cool would that be, if that was your name and I just, like, knew it?

    [Jesse shrugs]

    Nat: Are you a student here?

    Jesse Fisher: Uh, no, but thank you for thinking that. You?

    Nat: Nah, man. Just here visiting a buddy of mine. It's not a bad place to kill a little time, huh? I'm Nat.

    Jesse Fisher: I'm Jesse.

    Nat: Do you hear that music, Ethan?
