I can't help but sigh at how different the world is! The contrast between life and death between the city and the countryside is so stark. In the city, the dead are often seen off only by a few relatives and friends, which is cold and desolate; In the countryside, although the elderly have passed away, their funerals are lively and high-profile.
The dead person in the city is deserted, and the funeral of the dead old man in the countryside is lively", this phenomenon has attracted widespread attention. Doubts abound, some people think that the city is indifferent and ruthless, and there is no respect for life and death; It has also been pointed out that there are some problems hidden behind the bustle of rural funerals. Let's uncover the truth behind these disparate phenomena.
In cities, the hectic pace of life often alienates strangers from each other. Death is only a partial event, and often only those close to it will feel deep grief and loss. Because of the pressure of life and the busyness of work, the people around me lack enough attention to life and death, and their participation is also low. The vast majority of people in cities are more focused on their own lives and have weaker emotional ties with each other. This makes the funeral in the city seem deserted, and only a few relatives and friends express their last condolences to the deceased.
In the countryside, it's a completely different story. The rural areas have a strong human touch, and the ties between people are close. When an old man dies, the whole village gets involved. This kind of collective behavior reflects the importance and cherishing of family and neighborly feelings of rural people. In rural areas, despite the hardships of life, people pay more attention to family and friendship, and are more willing to contribute to others. Every rural funeral becomes a solemn and joyful occasion where the whole village mourns together and helps the family to bear the consequences.
This phenomenon reflects the differences between urban and rural areas, the difference in the degree of emotional communication between people, and also reflects a microcosm of people's psychological changes in the period of social transformation.
The imbalance between urban and rural development is one of the important reasons for this phenomenon. Cities are rapidly evolving, densely populated, and people live in a hurried and alienated environment, and are relatively indifferent to the death of others; In rural areas, the traditional concept of interpersonal relations and family is relatively retained, and there is a stronger sense of community for the life and death of relatives and friends.
At the same time, the psychological changes brought about by social transformation are also an important factor in the difference in phenomena. With the fast pace of urban life and the high pressure of work, people's attention to the outside world is reduced, and warm emotions such as family and friendship are often replaced or diluted. On the contrary, rural people's lives are relatively simple, and the contact between relatives and friends is more frequent, so that family affection is more strengthened and expressed in daily life.
Whether in urban or rural areas, the emotional bond between people should be cherished. Urban people can care more about the people around them, participate in community activities, and express their grief for the deceased; Rural people should also try to slow down and pay more attention to their inner world and the emotions between their families. In a fast-paced life, try to find balance to make our lives more harmonious and warm.
Some people say that life is a performance of parting and reunion. No matter where life goes, we should treat life and death as equals, and cherish everyone who is related to us. May we be able to help each other, regardless of the differences between urban and rural areas, and work together to build a warm and harmonious society.
