Chapter 708: The First Step 108
With regard to the family, it seems that there is no room for "indifference" at all, everyone must care about the family, at least in words.
When a person says loudly that he doesn't love his family, no one wants to ask why, just disdain, disdain, disgust, hatred, and so on.
A normal family, the parents did not abuse the child, and the child did not have a mental disorder. Then, the parents of this family must think about their children, and the children must also be filial to their parents.
Has anyone asked why? It seems that this question should not be raised at all, as if these things are just a matter of course.
The paradox is how do I deal with the grace of parenting. Or rather, how should I repay this nurturing kindness?
Why should we repay the kindness of nurturing?
Don't widen your eyes and don't get emotional, answer this question well.
It seems that if you don't repay, you are not a human being, if you don't repay, you must die, and if you don't repay, you are an animal or something.
Is there an answer to this question? What other reason is there besides the hard work of my parents to raise me as an adult? Even this is not a reason, why should I repay my parents for their hard work?
My parents work hard, my parents are tired, and my parents provide me with food and clothing, so I must repay this nurturing grace?
This feeling is like, I pursue a girl, spend a lot of money, spend a lot of time, don't be dignified or shameless, and work hard to be on call, so that girl must be with me to repay this kindness?
Or, I have worked hard for the empire all my life, and I am a citizen of the empire who abides by the law and escorts the construction of the empire, so the empire must give me good treatment to repay this kindness?
I'm asking why I should repay the kindness of my upbringing. The answer I got was how hard my parents worked, is this the answer?
Or do I have to repay my parents' hard work?
In this case, it is completely artificial, a distortion that everyone agrees on.
This is not true.
Using the word repayment, it will seem very gentle and warm. But in fact, it's essentially a transaction. And trading is something that is artificially set in advance and agreed upon by both parties.
There is also the question of how to be in the awkward situation of parents. Obviously, if I kill my family, then I will inevitably become a so-called unfilial descendant. And parents have naturally become the laughing point of many relatives and friends.
Although no one will laugh at my parents to my face, my parents will never be able to raise their heads in front of friends and family, nor can they be proud of me as the first person in the Empire.
So, how should I deal with this situation?
Obviously, I didn't have an attitude of indifference, but I felt very guilty and remorseful just by imagining this happening.
Why am I responsible for my parents' situation? Is it because of parenting? Or is it the hidden rules that the characters set for each other?
However, in order to make life a little better for parents, this is simply a self-definition. It's full of show-offs, it's full of affirmation of the character, and it's not real.
My parents base their status on me, and if I am filial, they will have face in front of their relatives and friends, and if I am not filial, they will lose face. But isn't it absurd to base one's own joys and sorrows on others?
Like, how do I know other people's behavior guidelines? I'm happy when someone else does A, I'm not happy when I do B, so I force someone else to do A, and when someone else does B, I get angry and feel like someone else has done something really wrong.
For the sake of my parents' better life, but I set it for myself. Oh no, it's the result of the propaganda of the whole empire, I didn't think about it at all. Perhaps, it is the nurturing grace of the parents, or it is the long-term praise "You see, how good this child is to his parents, he will definitely be filial when he grows up" or something like that.
Depend on!
I see, the character needs attention, it doesn't care about the specific content, as long as someone pays attention, then this focus can continue to exist for a long time. For example, showing off, why many speakers can't stop talking, why there is always someone at the dinner table who is boastful.
And filial piety, on the one hand, consolidates social stability, on the other hand, it allows the family to continue, and on the other hand, it allows the role to be affirmed. When a character is filial, no one will accuse him of being filial to his face, but more praise.
The character needs this kind of praise, so the fit of several aspects makes "filial piety" completely become an untouchable real realm. It seems that the discussion of filial piety is only a question of how to be filial or the limits of filial piety.
Yuan Changwen felt a very subtle sense of absurdity, that is, the whole thing was made out of nothing, and then slowly became authoritative and untouchable. But after thinking about it carefully, I found that "what is going on with all this", and my concept of filial piety is becoming blurred.
When I saw someone talking about filial piety and the like, I gradually felt a little unreasonable, and the person seemed to be clinging to something. It's very ethereal and ethereal, but it's firmly grasped by the characters.
The whole role is based on these false perceptions, opinions, and so-called meanings. Artificially set such a huge self-definition, but without knowing it.
Of course, it's a well-planned dream game, and it's good not to know it, so that you can devote yourself to it. Like me, it's completely ruining the whole game, how can you still participate in the game if you ruin a character?
After Mario commits suicide, can he still break through the level to save the princess?
Characters need affirmation, and filial piety is almost the cheapest affirmation, so filial piety seems to become a must-have for the role. If a society preaches independence, the independence of the child, and the parents allow it to be independent, then this independence will be seized by the characters. Rather, the traditional filial piety that I now accept.
So, why be filial? Or the question can become, why not be filial?
The answer is, it doesn't matter.
If I keep filial piety, or if I don't, it's out of duality.
The point is that filial piety does not hinder my actions. When I need not to be filial according to the flow of life, I will not deny this tendency to deny this flow behavior because I still have a self-definition of filial piety in my mind.
The unreal does not exist, and the world becomes a playground from now on.
Of course, I'm not done yet, and there are still a lot of things that I didn't expect to stand in my way. Over the years, who knows how much self-definition has accumulated and how many ridiculous falsehoods have been piled up.
Take your time, it's useless to panic. Anyway, sooner or later, we have to be killed, please line up, we will come one by one, slash by knife.
Self-definition is nothing more than an illusion. Everything that makes Yuan Changwen Yuan Changwen Yuan Changwen is a self-righteous affirmation sentence and an artificial distortion.
To discard these is to commit suicide, and when the character of Yuan Changwen dies, the truth will appear.
