Chapter 45: Poisonous Chicken Soup and Arsenic for the Soul
I remember about 5 years ago, short essays on chicken soup for the soul were still fine, and almost all of my friends were sharing them with each other and encouraging each other.
It started about two years ago, and there are not many articles about Chicken Soup for the Soul, but there are more ridiculous and spoofed articles, and the beginning is still the beginning, but the ending has changed a lot, and it is even contrary to the original article...... But because some of the twists are too unexpected, too dramatic, and too funny, they are more widespread than chicken soup and are called arsenic for the soul.
About a year ago, the arsenic text also seemed too verbose, and it was directly a one-sentence poisonous chicken soup that became popular, this gimmick was menacing, and the title was a sentence: A sentence makes you know reality, or is it a sentence that is heart-piercing and inspiring......
I can't say anything about this popularity. Because, I am also a mortal who follows the trend, delayed, and realized later. I remember a long, long time ago, I collected those philosophical stories and spent a lot of time and energy trying to understand the true meaning of the stories...... After all, I am a dull person, and it is very difficult for me to flexibly apply seemingly simple truths in life, or how to confirm the practicality of a truth from my own experience. It took nearly a whole year, I feel that I have a further understanding of life, that kind of clear mind, the feeling of a thorough understanding of life, makes me feel that I am very great, very progressive, let me feel that my life is no longer so chaotic, although there are still so many confusions, at least this feeling of progress, the leap in thought, let me feel full and meaningful, I firmly believe that I work hard to learn, one day will be able to penetrate the truth of life, can rely on this knowledge, live my life.
However, before I could consider the cause and effect of this incident, as well as the experience and experience of dealing with similar emergencies, the next completely different thing happened. For example, I can't figure out why the small village where I have lived for more than 20 years suddenly made the news, and the demonstration of the kind and timid villagers in the village was surrounded by the armed police and turned on television, and I heard that it was just for compensation for the demolition; I can't figure it out, I was so in love that I didn't marry, and my girlfriend who didn't marry her, had less contact after graduation, so why did they part ways in a daze; I can't figure out why at the same age of twenty years, when we are still full of hope and fantasy for the future, some friends' lives suddenly stop in their twenties; I can't figure out how my best friend who grew up since childhood can fight back and become stranger than strangers, and I don't feel enough to get along with each other after breaking off friendship, and I'd rather never know each other; The model couple in life is like the characters in the film and television, who are restless after cheating in marriage and fighting for the division of property; Although "good people don't live long" is not encountered, there are many good people who make the rest of their lives miserable because of their good deeds, and live like years, but "bad people get old" is so old and vicious that they are caught off guard......
Life is not perfect, after careful observation, I found that it was all ditches and bumps, which made people so depressed and angry that they couldn't vent it. Suddenly understood the mood of the keyboard warriors, they couldn't stand the unrealistic preaching, couldn't accept the naïve and stupid character setting, the illogical development of things, no matter how difficult and tortuous the story was created, in the end, it could be a great consummation, and a happy ending that deceived children. Like coaxing a child, it is not appropriate to use the sentence "The prince and the princess live happily together" to send people, people are more concerned about whether the relationship between the prince and the princess is good after the marriage of the prince and the princess, and whether the prince still wants to take a concubine? Do princesses and concubines get along? Is there a war in the country? Will the ministers seek power and usurp the throne......
People's yearning for beauty may be more strict and harsh, and pediatrics' didactic stories always seem less rigorous. The most important thing is that they are all highly educated, and everyone understands the big truths, so why can anyone put on the posture of an expert and scholar, a master and a saint with these pediatrics, and be welcomed and sought after - and this kind of attention and worship is valued, which is what everyone desires but is rare. Just like the point of view about magic in the movie "Amazing Thieves", people don't want to be deceived. These people who advocate poisonous chicken soup also have this kind of plot.
How I wish that when I was confused, someone suddenly revealed the truth of the world, discovered the essence of the world, and became enlightened all at once...... However, this is whimsical and most unrealistic. Everything comes gradually, including human comprehension and comprehension. It doesn't make much sense for a junior high school student to listen to an advanced math class for a junior high school student, and similarly, it doesn't make much sense for a junior high school student to take a kindergarten arithmetic class...... There is nothing wrong with this futile attempt, but if the junior high school student disrupts the classroom order with his ignorance and loud noise, and uses the "rich" theoretical knowledge in the kindergarten class to denounce the kindergarten teacher for teaching things that are too simple and the calculation methods too clumsy, then the junior high school student is wrong.
We are all junior high school students, when life is not satisfactory, we still don't use ignorance and self-righteousness to confuse everyone's audio-visual attention, everyone needs time to complete their own lessons at this stage, growth is slow, give yourself and others time to grow, poisonous chicken soup and arsenic or don't take it too seriously.
