There is a sister-in-law in the village who is almost fifty years old. I have been married to our village for almost 30 years, and I used to be a private teacher, but I don't know when I started, what scriptures I read, I prayed every day, and then I took the bus to various churches to worship on weekends. It became like a god chattering all day long.
In the past, every year during the Qingming Festival, this sister-in-law had to let her children burn incense to the graves of their ancestors. Her father died last year, and her brothers and sisters were all dressed in filial piety clothes, and she just resolutely refused to wear them.
Her reason is very clear, I am a religious person now, and I can't be like you.
When she arrived at her old father's grave, everyone else was burning paper money, incense, and kneeling to worship, but she stood aside and didn't even kneel. She also said that she would pray for her old father, and then she would recite words from her mouth.
Her mother was so angry that she wanted to cut off the mother-daughter relationship with her, and she even said that God had arranged all this.
During the Spring Festival the year before last, my father posted a couplet in our small shop, which probably meant thanking the customer, and the customer was God.
It was almost 10 o'clock in the evening that she braved the snow to come to my house and ask my father to teach me the Bible, so that my father could convert to their religion, saying that if I believed in their religion, business would be better in the future.
Father is angry and funny, this sister-in-law probably talked for more than an hour, mother saw that she had not left the meaning, took out a Bodhisattva statue that I didn't know who gave her before, directly lit three incense, and at the same time opened the mobile phone to find a "Great Compassion Mantra" to start**.
Although the sister-in-law has always been religious, her family's situation has not changed because of her religious beliefs.
A few years ago, because her child had a little intellectual problem, the village designated him as a poor household, and some subsidies given by the state, she would say: Thank you, the Lord arranged it.
The helping cadres came to help her and persuaded her not to believe in any religion, but she read the Bible to the helping cadres. The cadres were so angry that they stared at each other.
She also organized a dance team to learn some movements from the Internet and apply them to practice, and when a "parishioner" died, she would dance and sing for the funeral of the deceased.
In the past two years, for many reasons, her "group activities" have been much restricted, but the business of their dance team has improved, and they have begun to sing and dance for the funerals of some people who are not "parishioners". The reason: we charge cheaply, and it is much more expensive to hire those trumpeters.
No matter what the circle, there are always a few weirdos who want to tell others the great truth of life after learning a little bit by themselves.
The life of his own family is a mess, and he also tells others the philosophy of life. Brains are a good thing, I don't know if they have them. And those who have been fooled by them, do they have brains?
Are there any such people around you?
