In a conversation with a post-00s girl, I was deeply shocked by her views on "hardship".
She said bluntly: ".I can't endure the hardships of study, and I can't endure the hardships of life, but why should I endure hardships? Do we live in this world just to endure hardship? Why did our fathers always teach us to endure hardship? Is it inevitable that you will succeed if you endure hardship? Look at my parents' generation, for the sake of their families, they have endured a lot of hardships, haven't they also succeeded? What's the point of educating us all day long to endure hardship?
This remark made me ponder, is the meaning of life and the teachings of my fathers really just blindly "enduring hardship"? Perhaps the question is not black and white, but full of gray areas. The fragrance of plum blossoms has nothing to do with bitter cold, and life should not simply be defined as "enduring hardship", but about the difference in everyone's pursuit and value.
The road of life is long, full of ups and downs and challenges, but this does not mean that we live in the world to endure hardship. We may encounter difficulties and challenges in the pursuit of our dreams, but this is not the whole story of life. Some people say that "people are born to endure hardship", which may be a bit heavy, but it is not unreasonable. However, life is supposed to be colorful and should not be simply defined as "enduring hardship".
In the eyes of the parents' generation, hardship seems to be the only way to success, and they have paid hardships for the sake of their families and lives. But is everyone who suffers succeed? This is a question worth pondering. Life is not a static pattern, but full of variables. Although the dedication of the fathers is admirable, it does not mean that enduring hardship is the only way to success.
Everyone's understanding and pursuit of life is different, and the meaning and value of life vary from person to person. Some people may have achieved the success they wanted by enduring hardship, but there are also many people who have achieved their goals in other ways. There are many paths to success, and hardship is just one of them.
Back to the question of the post-00s girl, why do our parents always teach us to endure hardship? Perhaps, this is a kind of experience, a life wisdom passed down from one generation to the next. Enduring hardship can develop willpower and perseverance, but it is not the only way. In today's society, we should pay more attention to how to pursue our dreams while fulfilling our lives and making our lives more colorful.
The wonder of life lies not only in enduring hardship, but also in discovering and pursuing one's own value. So, friends, what do you think? Is life just about suffering, or should we experience more beautiful things while pursuing our dreams? This is perhaps a question worth thinking about for each of us.
