I don't know how many years have passed, and the mirror shows that the temples have become frost. It's not just a few gray hairs anymore, and I sigh with the ruthlessness of time. The goal of yesterday has been forgotten, and the passion of the past has faded. The saddest thing is that he knows that the life is empty now, but he can only let it go. The ancients said: There is no more grief than death, but now I feel sad.
I ran into an old neighbor some time ago. This neighbor is a comrade-in-arms of my father and a long-time deceased. I saw that he was busy taking care of his grandchildren like most old people. He stepped forward to greet him and talked a few words with him. The parents were short-lived, and it seemed that the old man had a very fulfilling life. Thinking about it when I came back, I couldn't help feeling very much.
This elder was a restless person when he was young, mainly in the relationship between men and women. I remember one time when he said that he was going to another place for medical treatment. His wife was worried, and chased after him. Sure enough, he found that he was with another woman, so he made a big fuss. There are so many things, so I won't say more. Finally one day, his lover died of a cerebral hemorrhage, which probably has nothing to do with him. From then on, he was like the cunning rabbit out of the cage, and happily opened up. It is said that he had changed a lot of women, anyway, he was extremely happy.
In less than two years, disaster has come. He has a son and a daughter, both of whom are married. One night, his son died in a car accident. We were small, and we were very sad when we heard the news. I didn't know what would happen to him at the time. When I met him, I felt that he was a lot older all of a sudden, and he looked very haggard. It seemed that his son's death was a big blow to him. Recalling that after his mother died, Faxiao often came back and had disputes with him because of financial problems (Faxiao’s mother opened a barbershop and saved a lot of money after decades of work). At that time, I thought that the old man was too unsympathetic, and he ignored his own children for the sake of the woman. After this incident, he was a lot older all of a sudden. It seems that he still knows which one is more important, but he couldn't restrain his selfish desires at that time.Now he, those women have left him, he also took his heart, wholeheartedly helping his daughter with the children, it is also very busy. Seeing his current state, I am also very happy for him.
Now let me think about it again, the reason why people are sad in middle age is not because their dreams are gone and their hearts are dead. But people's things are not satisfactory, nine out of ten, no one is pleased. People only need to do what they are supposed to do, and do what they do well. Don't lie down when you should struggle, just avoid it when you have to do your responsibilities. Even if it takes a detour, like the neighbor mentioned above, it is still acceptable in the end. Life is actually a practice, just do your best.
