In this materialistic world, the subtle interweaving of human relationships often leads us to entanglement and hesitation. A friend recently shared a thought-provoking experience on social **: "My brother-in-law gave my two sons 300 New Year's red envelopes each, they only have one son, and I gave 600, this is the sophistication of human feelings." This led me to think deeply about the sophistication of human feelings.
In our traditional culture, it has long become a custom for elders to give red envelopes to younger generations during the Chinese New Year, symbolizing blessings and care for younger generations. However, this friend felt the shadow of human sophistication because of the difference in red envelopes. I couldn't help but tell him that, perhaps, he should look a little further.
During the Chinese New Year, red envelopes are not only an exchange of money, but also a transmission of feelings. However, for children, they do not think too much about human feelings, and pay more attention to the care of their relatives. Why didn't this friend consider passing on his heart to his brother-in-law instead of giving it directly to his nephew? Children don't understand the twists and turns, and for them, receiving red envelopes is a joy.
Thinking back to my childhood, I am reminded of the village where my grandfather always distributed the dumplings fairly, and even though there were more children in our family, my grandfather always tried to make every child feel equal and just. However, this equality is not always possible. In order to share their share of the dumplings fairly, the sisters had to fall into a situation of inferiority.
This feeling of inferiority is not only a childhood memory, but may also have a profound impact on the person's psychology later in life. Our behavior often subtly shapes children's character and worldview. And this friend's generosity may not have given the nephew endless joy, but may have given them a psychological insecurity.
The experience of greeting the New Year made me deeply feel the delicate balance between family affection and money. The different arrangements of the eldest sister and the second sister have caused subtle rifts in the family relationship. When the eldest sister reluctantly expressed that she did not let her eldest niece come with her, I seemed to see the hidden contradictions between the family. After all, family affection is the most important thing when it comes to New Year's greetings, and money is only one part of it.
In relationships, we often complicate emotions because of the distribution of money and gifts. A simple New Year's greeting, because of a red envelope caused by the contradiction, is really embarrassing. What's more, the little ones don't care about this, they just look forward to the moment when they receive the red envelope, full of innocence and joy.
Perhaps, we should look at these people more rationally. The emotions behind red envelopes should not be overwhelmed by money and gifts. For the little ones, what is more important is the warmth and love of the family. When we pay more attention to the sincere feelings between people and not too much about money, we may be able to live a more pure and sincere life.
This New Year's season, let's not overcomplicate the world. Convey love with your heart and make the red envelope a truly warm blessing. After all, family affection is the truest and deepest red envelope, and it will never change because of the amount of money.
