Chapter 140: The Confusion of the Ivory Tower
Yes, we come from different countries, and our future and destiny are not only related to our personal efforts, but also to our respective family conditions.
However, the campus is really an ivory tower that isolates us from the real society.
Here, we sit in the same classroom, facing the same teacher.
As long as you have good grades, you will be praised by your teachers. No one will remember your family background!
As long as you are friendly, have a wide range of hobbies, and are cute, you will be welcomed by your classmates. No one cares who your parents are.
We lived in the same dormitory, ate the same meals in the cafeteria, talked about the same topics, studied the same topics, and coped with the same exams. How consistent our goals are, and how consistent our starting point is.
All of this makes the students' lives seem really no different. It seems like how equal we are.
However, once we are out of school, the resources that each of us has and the society we face are so different.
Daric and Andre are only one year apart, but their homeland, culture, beliefs, traditions, families, connections, educational backgrounds, economic strength, social status, ancestry, and even physical appearance are too different.
They are friends, they can play ball together, play games, discuss girls together, attend international fraternities together, and go motorcycle racing together......
But! Choosing a job in the future, starting a family, and where to settle down,...... Can they really understand each other and empathize with each other on a set of most critical issues?
At this moment, I began to doubt.
To be honest, why don't the differences between Daric and Andre exist between me and Andrei?
The acceptance of each other by our families has always been a bitter thread in my heart.
Andrei doesn't take this matter as seriously as I do. André, who is in love, probably really thinks that everything is fine as long as I love him, and he never seems to care about my parents' attitude towards him.
On top of that, Andre and I are very vague about where our future holds. We are actually trapped together by the ropes of affection. This bondage may also be a fatal constraint on our development!
Looking at Darik with a heavy expression, I suddenly felt the tremendous pressure he was about to face. How will young Darik choose his future life? I couldn't solve his puzzle, and it was my own puzzle. It's also a reality that Andrei and I will have to face sooner or later.
Thinking of this, I said to Darik:
- "You know what? There are a lot of issues that need to be resolved between me and Andre, but I don't want to worry about this now, no one can really control their own destiny! Daric, you need to relax, you finish your studies first, and then you're thinking about your options. ”
