On a sunny afternoon, I sat in a coffee shop on the street and watched the bustling crowd outside my window. Some of them walked hand in hand, some hugged their children and laughed. Suddenly, I remembered a hot topic recently: young people don't get married and don't have children, are they sober or not?Let's take this question and find out the answer together.
Aristotle once said, "Man is essentially a social animal." "However, in today's society, more and more young people are choosing to live a lifestyle of not marrying and having children. They seek freedom, independence, and career success, believing that marriage and childbearing are no longer necessary stages of life. So, is this choice sober or confused?
Viewpoint 1: The pursuit of freedom and independence
Lingyu is a girl who loves architecture and has a strong interest in architecture since she was a child. After graduating, she successfully joined a well-known architectural design firm, and gradually made a name for herself in the architectural industry with her outstanding talent and hard work attitude. She has designed award-winning buildings that have been praised by the industry and clients alike. However, the success of her career did not make her forget her pursuit of freedom and independence. She loves to travel and explore different cultures and landscapes, and she believes that these experiences enrich her design inspiration. As a result, she chose to live a barren lifestyle in order to devote more time and energy to her career and travel. "I love what I do and want to be successful in this field," she says. For me, freedom and independence are more important. However, she also admits that sometimes she feels a little lonely and lost when she sees her friends and colleagues entering marriage and giving birth to children one by one. But she believes that everyone has their own way of life and pursuits, and as long as they are brave enough to pursue their dreams, they can find their own happiness.
However, pursuing career success does not mean sacrificing family and love. There are many people who have been successful in their careers and have happy families at the same time. Therefore, this view does not fully justify that not marrying and having children is a sober choice.
Viewpoint 2: Avoiding responsibility and pressure
Mingyu is a young man who is afraid to take responsibility. He has a stable job and income, but he is always worried that marriage and childbirth will bring him great financial pressure and mental burden. He is afraid that he is not capable enough to take on the responsibilities of a family, and he is afraid to face the problems of his children's education and growth. Therefore, he chose to escape and devote his attention and energy to work and play. "I didn't want to take on the responsibilities of my family, and I was afraid to face the pressures of life," he said. However, the escape did not allow Xiao Ming to truly get rid of the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart. He often thinks about the value and meaning of his life in the dead of night, feeling lost and helpless. He began to realize that escaping would not solve the problem, and that only by facing it bravely could he find a real solution. He decided to re-examine his life and values, and bravely face the challenges and responsibilities of the future.
Avoiding responsibility and stress will not solve the problem. As adults, we should be brave enough to face life's challenges and learn to take responsibility. Marriage and childbearing can be stressful, but they can also lead to growth and happiness. Therefore, this view also does not prove that not marrying and having children is a sober choice.
Viewpoint 3: Pursue personal growth and happiness
Manly is a young girl who loves life and pursues personal growth and happiness. She believes that marriage and childbirth are not the only way for her to pursue happiness, but hopes to find her true happiness through her own efforts and exploration. She loves art and culture, and enjoys reading books and traveling, which she uses to broaden her horizons and experiences. She believes that only by constantly learning and Xi growing can she become better and more attractive. "I want to pursue my dreams, experience a different life, and find happiness that is truly mine," she said. "In the process, Xiaoli has encountered many interesting people and things, as well as experienced many challenges and difficulties. But she never gave up on her dreams and pursuits, and walked firmly on her own path. Eventually, she found her own happiness and fulfillment, becoming a more independent, confident and mature person.
Everyone has the right to pursue personal growth and happiness. Marriage and childbearing can indeed bring happiness, but not all of them need to be fulfilled in this way. We should respect everyone's choices and not judge whether they are living a sober way of life or not.
Not marrying and having children is not an absolutely sober or confused choice. Everyone's life experiences and values are different, leading to different views on marriage and childbearing. We should respect everyone's choices and not judge their way of life. As Shakespeare said, "There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers." In the same way, there are a thousand views on marriage and childbearing in the eyes of a thousand young people.
Let's face these different choices with tolerance and understanding, and give them support and encouragement. Everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness, whether that is through marriage and procreation or otherwise. Finally, I would like to conclude this article with a quote from the famous quote: "The meaning of life is the pursuit of happiness, and everything else is secondary." ”
Please respect the choices of each young person and face their way of life with tolerance and understanding. At the same time, encourage them to be brave enough to pursue their own happiness, whatever form it takes.
