One rainy Sunday, after my daughter finished her homework, she stood on the balcony alone, looking out the window and sighing constantly: "Alas, it's really boring to be alive, and you can't play with your friends on a rainy day, it's better to die!."”
My wife, who was watching TV, was surprised to hear this, and then mysteriously pulled me into the bedroom, who was reading the newspaper, and told me my daughter's "bold words" and asked why my daughter had such thoughts. I secretly laughed at my wife's fuss, concluded that my daughter was just no one to play, and just said it casually, and persuaded my wife not to worry about the sky. But my wife had a solemn face, and she insisted that I talk to my daughter once.
A week later, I tried to bring up the last time with my daughter. My daughter, who had apparently forgotten what she had said a week ago, laughed and asked me, "Daddy, what stupid boy said this, how good it is to be alive!".I deliberately reminded her, "Did you say something stupid like that?"Think about it!She tilted her head and thought for a long time: "Impossible, right?"Did I say that?Oh, and come to think of it, I was bored at home last week and said something like that. I restrained my smile: "This kind of negative words, not only can't you say it, don't even think about it!."My daughter didn't take me seriously at all, and she sat on my lap: "Got it, got it!."I just said it casually and didn't think about it that way at all!”
I thought this was the end of it. Unexpectedly, a month later, my daughter spoke surprisingly again and repeated the old words. One night, the teacher assigned an essay, and it took her nearly two hours to finish it. While sleeping, the daughter said to her mother, "It's so hard to be a child, and you have to do so much homework every day, it's better to live than to die!"The wife asked her, "Then do you think Dad and Mom work hard every day?"The daughter reacted quickly and said very dryly: "Then let's die together, shall we?"It made his wife cry and laugh.
I feel the need to talk to my children about life and death. I told her the story of the golden cicada and the iron tree. The golden cicada stinged in the dark and boundless ground for many years, and after crawling out of the ground, it lived in a tree for only a month before dyingThe iron tree grows slowly from a seedling, and after a few decades of hard work and rain, it can only bloom after decades. Why did the golden cicada and the iron tree survive for several years, silently enduring endless darkness and wind and rain?Because the golden cicada wants to see the sun, and the iron tree has the belief of blooming. People live in this world, happiness and pain coexist, life often makes us helpless, but we still have to love life!We have to prove the value of our existence like the golden cicada and the iron tree. If everything on earth has the idea that "it is better to live than to die", then the rivers and seas will dry up, the forests will wither, and you would like to see a bare earth without any life?The daughter shook her head with tears in her eyes.
Let's all live well!I kissed my daughter's pink little face, hoping that my words would penetrate into my daughter's heart. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I saw my sleeping daughter smiling, like a little angel!I guess she must have had a beautiful dream. In my heart, I wish her a sunny life!
