Chapter 610 I Can't Face Myself

When a man has a family, the first thing he thinks of is his family.

All his previous dreams, no matter how important they were, were not as important as people when facing them.

Those are just things and cannot be compared to a person.

Especially their families, many of their habits have changed.

Especially when you have a daughter, you will have even less hobbies.

Those limited edition figures are all toys for my daughters.

What is said is what is meant, and what is told is done.

When you are alone, you have the final say in everything.

But once you have a child, a girl at that, everything changes.

Nothing is more important than your own daughter.

In the past, I always went out at night, but now, I go home after get off work and don’t go anywhere.

Drinking? No.

I also have to cook for my daughter.

His temper improved and he spoke more gently.

They also developed a sense of responsibility.

They won't go for something that is meaningless.

Before, I would go out at night and see brothers everywhere. I could gather a table of people for dinner with just a few words.

It was very happy to have so many people eating with me.

When something really happens, there is no one to help.

You really can't rely on your drinking buddies when something happens.

There are very few friends who can stay with you for a lifetime.

When I was in college, all my classmates were very nice.

After I started working, there were really not many people I could contact.

No matter how good a person is at that time, he will be diluted with time.

Not to mention these people, even if they are your own children, you won’t be familiar with them when they grow up.

The only time I could spend with them was during their childhood.

When they are young, they are very attached to you. But when they reach puberty and have their own little secrets, they will no longer play with you.

When you go to college, they will be even less willing to play with you.

When they start working, no one knows where they will go.

If I leave my hometown, I will have very little time to go home in a year, and I can only come back once during the Chinese New Year.

Once they get married, they will have even fewer opportunities to meet.

They have their own families now, and they have to consider their families in everything they do.

At this time, there is even less time to spend with them.

Apart from the Chinese New Year, we don’t have much time to interact with each other on other days.

It's impossible for me to stick to you like I did when we were kids.

There are some things that you can no longer do when you reach a certain age.

They can't even face themselves.

As I get older, I am no longer interested in many things.

I don't want to run around anymore.

What I prefer to do is drink tea and grow flowers.

Before, I always drank milk tea. Tea was too bitter and I didn’t want to drink it.

However, as I got older, I gradually fell in love with this taste.

It is bitter at first, then it is sweet.

It's just like life, it's bitter before it's sweet.

This is still good. Some people only have bitterness and no sweetness at all.

If you get used to suffering, you will suffer for the rest of your life.

It is a blessing to suffer a loss. This is a lie.

That is because I don't want you to resist.

A culture of a few thousand people does not allow for resistance.

When the time comes to resist, no one will resist.

Everyone is used to it and just ignores things that don't concern them.

Anyway, it’s not you, why should you care about that.

Everyone thinks this way and does this.

This kind of thinking has been passed down from generation to generation, telling you to do this.

Those who wanted to rebel were considered outcasts.

It will not be tolerated, and we must find a way to kill such people.

In this way, everyone is well and can still live the same life.

In the past, it was a slave society and there were no human rights at all.

They are all oppressed people and don't know how to resist.

Maybe some people tried to resist but failed in the end.

We all live in a framework planned by others, and if we behave outside of it, we will be criticized.

We all should just be ordinary people and live our lives the same way others do.

It's the same life, just a few short decades, why should we live differently?

Even if you work hard for decades, the final result will not be a good one.

It’s better to do nothing honestly and still live comfortably.

People change, and as time goes by, their thoughts also change.

One day, those things that I used to care about all the time became unimportant to me.

One day, I finally figured out the things that I couldn't figure out before.

Thinking about it now, those life-and-death things seemed very childish.

There is nothing that cannot be overcome, time will dilute everything.

When you look back on these things one day, you will find that nothing is impossible to overcome.

I won't care about those things anymore.

I will still hate those people I hated before, but I won’t remember them anymore.

I thought about how I had cursed others before, and when I died, I would run to their graves and dance.

However, when someone really dies, you can't do things like dancing at his grave.

Everything, with the death of that person, becomes no longer important and will not be remembered.

Perhaps, this is what others mean by the dead are greatest.

Whether you do good things or bad things.
