A writer wrote: "The vast majority of people are living in confusion, helplessly spending this life. Until the day they grow old, they don't know what the meaning of their lives is."
Most ordinary people Why do people live in a state of confusion? Because I always do things according to the same old routine, step by step, I live like a puppet and a puppet.
The human world is like an assembly line. We are all products in this assembly line. It is too standard and too integrated, and there is not much difference between products.
Precisely because everyone lives in a similar life pattern, no one thinks about whether there is any problem with their own life pattern. You know, what people pursue is nothing more than what a group of people do, and what they do in turn.
The Greek philosopher Aristotle said that the ultimate value of life lies in his awakening and thinking ability.
If a person has never thought about life and the meaning of his life in this world, I think he will finally realize something when he grows old. Unfortunately, time flies by, time passes, and everything becomes a thing of the past.
Life is like a maze, and there are too many people wandering around blindly in it. Only some people have some understanding, maybe they can get out of this maze that binds you and me for life.

"My children asked three questions, which made me mentally shattered and speechless."
Uncle Chen from the countryside is 55 years old this year, and his son and daughter are both 30 years old. However, Uncle Chen is particularly worried about his children's married life. In Uncle Chen's view, when children grow up, they have to fulfill the task of "reproducing future generations."
His son is a graduate of a certain 211 university and now works in a second-tier provincial capital city. Although his income is stable, with a monthly salary of about 10,000 yuan, he still has not chosen to get married.
His daughter is a graduate of a certain university. She has a stable job and a boyfriend, but she has no intention of getting married, let alone having children.
As a farmer, Uncle Chen was puzzled by the behavior of children. Women and men in assembly line factories all gave birth to several children. A neighbor's children went to work before graduating from elementary school. Now they have three children. . Why don't you do this?
The son asked his father: "As humans, should we be like pigs and live our lives for reproduction? Shouldn't the reason why humans are humans be because we have the right to freely choose life?"
After hearing his son's question, Uncle Chen didn't know what to say, so he only replied: "Several of your ancestors were born like this..."
The son only said: "Everyone has his own Choice, if he does this, do we have to blindly follow it?"

After my daughter heard this, she also asked a question: "Some people can't even live well for themselves, can't even understand their own life, and can't even raise their children. Is it really the responsibility of parents to give birth to them and raise them from birth?"
Uncle Chen responded: "If human beings want to develop, shouldn't they need people?"
His daughter only said: " Do you really want your grandchildren to help others become oxen and horses and become leeks? Knowing this is the result, why do you have to let others suffer?"
In the end, the children raised a question together: "Now We live in a big city and can’t even afford a house or a car. We have no fixed place to live and can only rent a house. Do we really have the heart to let our children come into this world to accompany us in the wandering world?”
After hearing the children’s questions, Chen The uncle originally wanted to say that they had no sense of responsibility.But in the end, he figured out a truth. His children were right. I couldn't understand it myself, but our children understood it. Shouldn't this be something to be happy about?
The neighbor’s child came out to join society at the age of 11. Now his three children have never read a book, and their education level is no more than elementary school. Think about it, it’s really sad.
A family in the next village, A couple had two children, and they also wandered around the society after graduating from junior high school. To put it harshly, these couples don’t even know what they are living for, so they just let life come into this world.

What do you think about the issue of Uncle Chen’s children?
Different people have different opinions.
A university professor once said that in human society, there are only two types of people who are the main force in childbearing. One type is the rich and powerful upper class people. They need children and offspring to inherit the family business and inherit hundreds of millions of family assets. The other type of people are the lower class people with no culture. They don't know what meaning is, and they have never considered the future of their children. They only know reproduction.
These words are actually very harsh, but they tell the truth: some people are getting richer and better off, and do not want their property to be lost. And some people get poorer as they get older, and then get poorer as they get older.
Just like the neighbors mentioned above, they gave birth to three children. Who knew that these children did not study and became social beings. So, what is the meaning of their reproduction?
Many people have lived this life in a muddle, and they only understand the meaning of life when they are old. However, it is already too late.
Nowadays, some young people have very good academic qualifications and have their own thoughts, so they will think about the meaning of life. Just think about it, if you can't live well for yourself, how can you let your children live well?
The biggest tragedy in the world is not that some young people choose not to have children, but that too many people allow themselves and their descendants to live like "sheep babies".
