In the silence of the night, in a dim light, a cartoon quietly unfolded. In the picture, on one side is the scene of "lonely old age", an old man sits in a rocking chair, surrounded by emptiness, only a cat at his feet. There was a hint of desolation and loneliness on his face, as if he had been forgotten in a corner by the world. On the other side is the scene of "makeshift marriage", a middle-aged couple with haggard faces and no much communication with each other, just living together silently, as if maintaining their marriage for the sake of obligations and responsibilities. Their eyes revealed helplessness and exhaustion, as if they had lost themselves in this marriage.
This cartoon made me ponder: which is more terrifying, lonely old age or improvisation? Different people have different answers to this question. For those who crave love and companionship, the end of age alone is undoubtedly an endless torment. They long to have a close partner to share the joys and sorrows of life together and spend every warm moment together. And for those who are for all kinds of pressure and improvisation, improvisation marriage may be even more terrifying. They lost themselves in this marriage, lost the passions and dreams they once had, and just spent time in their day-to-day lives.
However, the real scariness is not in dying alone or getting married in itself, but in our attitude towards life. If we can face life positively and find our own happiness and satisfaction, then it is no longer scary to die alone or get married. Happiness is an inner feeling, it is not affected by the external environment, as long as we have a positive attitude and pursuit, we can find our own warmth in every corner of life.
