Sunshine, honey, yellow flowers embroidered on green satin. Under the spring hides the bitterness of winter. Hades said maybe things would have been different if she had had a son like him. Yes, with such a sweet burden of children, how can you continue to maintain such a beautiful and harmonious nature? Take half, keep half. This is the principle that only the purest and most carefree people can adhere to. Although living in a deserted village with my mother, I can insist on taking half and keeping half. Is it because Hades has no greater desires in his heart? In her heart, honey is a gift from nature, half relying on her own care and half relying on the hard work of bees. Taking half is enough. To take more is to consume nature. People living in poverty cannot accept poverty like Hades, and coexist peacefully with poverty with the original dignity. The nomadic father, after hesitating, looked at the table full of food brought by the honey buyer, and silently gave up some principles in life. His wife and five or six children sat at the table, eating bread, and remained silent. Can dignity and "life" coexist? I'm wondering if it's worth cutting down five trees to feed five kids? But people who are burdened in poverty don't think about whether it's worth it, because they have almost no choice. Their initial choice was to give birth to the child, because the child is their treasure. The initial choice has already determined their path afterward. Hades, on the other hand, did not choose to marry, had no children, and took care of his mother alone. She is lonely, but she is freer. The land of honey, to me, is a poor but free utopia, a peach blossom that I am not entitled to enter. It got me out of the ugliness of life and then jumped back into this bottomless pit with guilt and distress. May the land of honey stay in my heart for a long time.
