In the sunshine of the weekend, I took my baby to the zoo. The sun was just right on this day, the breeze was not dry, and it was a good day for traveling. When we walked to the crocodile pond, we happened to see the caretaker feeding the baby crocodiles, a total of three.
I saw the caretaker holding a piece of meat and casually throwing it next to the little crocodile. When the crocodiles saw the meat, they hesitated, and one of them tilted his head, then took a bite of the meat and lazily ate it.
The caretaker threw the meat a little farther away, but this time the crocodiles lay on their stomachs, not moving, let alone grabbing food. The three crocodiles just lay quietly on their stomachs, indifferent. This is too different from the image of the crocodile. Crocodiles are not by nature. Could it be that crocodiles are also spoiled like this? Throw the meat into your mouth before eating.
Seeing this, I suddenly thought of today's children. They live in an age of material abundance, and they don't need to fight to get what they want. Especially the children brought by the next generation of Bao Grandma Bao Ye is even more so, the baby does not have to do anything, naturally someone does it on his behalf. However, is this way of life of "stretching out your hands for clothes and opening your mouth for food" depriving them of their ability to take care of themselves and work hard?
Just like the three crocodiles, they can all choose to give up in the face of easy food. I don't know if they'll forage if they're hungry on their own, I don't know. What do our children do when they face difficulties?
