Claire Gegan said that most of the time, people, both insane and awake, stumbled about in the dark, reaching out for things they didn't know they needed. When we think we are more and more skilled in life, we are farther and farther away from real life. The four-character motto in "Returning and Returning Ci", "The heart is the servant of the body", has been like this for most mortals since ancient times. We want to chase money, chase fame, chase love and desire, but forget to stop and see what life is like, what we are like.
We are all such people, our bodies are not moving, our hearts are far away, we are galloping eight thousand miles in our dreams, and we are still in bed when we wake up. There are countless ideas in my head, but never put them into practice. So, we think life will get better, we just think it. Life itself is very practical. For example, I thought I'd finish reading One Hundred Years of Solitude in a week, but it's sitting quietly in my bed, still 36 pages from a week ago. This is not only the lack of an important question of pretense capital, but you can't help but ask yourself, is this the self you used to be proud of?
It's not the best life, it's not the worst life, it's the life we choose. It's not hell, it's not heaven, it's the real world. As the designer's daughter presented her full collection of new Marc Jacobs, the women of the African tribe sang old high-pitched songs and thumped the world of tapioca with their sturdy, dark arms. It was the Chinese college student who was fascinated by the "This page cannot be displayed" after entering the YouTube URL, and the little shoe-shining boy in Peru proudly showed the camera the world of the laptop he used to access Wikipedia. It is a world where new life cannot replace death. It's a world where laughter can't wipe out tears.
Maturity is probably about stepping out of the fantasy utopia, feeling powerless to the environment, seeing the ugliness of the world, but still loving it. When I grow old, I can see the ocean and the mountains, the spring flowers and the winter snow, the terrifyingly large elephants and the loyal dogs of their masters, the fairy tales with sad endings and the sighingly beautiful music; I can also see the parks Children running, couples quarreling on street corners, bankrupt people jumping down from the tall building opposite, bad boys stealing bread from shops. I smiled and watched all this, bathed in the warm sunshine, listened to a Louis Armstrong "What A Wonderful World", and said to the world that I love you.
Maturity is probably about abandoning those lofty ideals and dreams, throwing away those ambiguous emotions that make new words and expressing worries, starting to care about food and vegetables, starting to observe passers-by on the street, and starting to live, not live.
It is very lucky to be born as a human, only to live up to it.
When you come into this world, you have to look at the sun and walk down the street with your loved ones.
