Chapter 20 make man

I have always been kind to older people, and a little bit contemptuous of people of my own age.For children, it is respect and fear, and they are completely kept at a respectful distance.It's not because young people are fearful.Most of them are very ordinary when they grow up, maybe not as good as our generation. A child is a little bit of new power separated from the fountain of life, so it is respectable and terrifying. Children are not as confused as we think.Most parents don't understand their children.And children often see through their parents.I remember very well how, as a child, I wanted to confide all I knew and frighten the elders a lot.

The characteristic of youth is forgetfulness, and the child's psychology is completely forgotten after childhood.Until old age, I gradually get close to children again, and there is a period in between, when the worldly barrier is the deepest, and I completely lose contact with children. It just so happens that this is the time when I have children. No wonder those who have children can give birth again.They see children as funny little fools, ridiculous and lovable burdens.They don't think the child's eyes are terrible, so serious eyes, like the angel's eyes at the end of the judgment, create such a pair of eyes out of thin air, such a judging brain, such a body, know the most delicate pain To be happy, to create a human being out of thin air, and then raise him half-starved, half-fed, half-conscious, and half-conscious. Creating a human is a dangerous job.Parents are not gods but forced to be gods.Even if you proceed carefully and prepare everything for him before you have a baby, there is no guarantee what kind of character he will become.If all the circumstances before he landed were unfavorable to him, then he was doomed with few chances of success.

Of course, the more difficult the environment is, the greater the greatness of parental love will be revealed.Between parents and children, there is a need for sacrifice everywhere, so the virtue of self-denial is cultivated. Self-sacrificing motherly love is a virtue, but it is a virtue inherited from our animal ancestors, and our domestic animals also possess it, which we cannot seem to be proud of.Instinctive benevolence is only animal goodness.This is not the reason why human beings are different from animals.The reason why people are human is all about higher perception and higher understanding.This kind of argument may be considered too rational and too indifferent. In short, the lack of humanity is actually more human, because it expresses dissatisfaction with the bestial standard of goodness.

Beasts have natural kindness and natural cruelty, so they have survived generation after generation in the bloody competition for survival.Nature is mysterious, great and inconceivable, but we cannot stop at nature.The natural style is an astonishing waste. One fish produces millions of roes, which are devoured by other aquariums, and only a few lucky ones are left to hatch into small fish.Why should we waste our blood like this?Civilized man is a very valuable animal, feeding, training, and in need of great expense.Our energy is limited, and the time we live is also limited. There are so many things we can do and should do. Why do we have to produce a lot of waste that will be eliminated sooner or later!

Our nature is to breed and reproduce, to give birth to many, and to give birth and give birth again.We ourselves are mortal, but our seeds are all over the earth.However, what a seed of misfortune, a seed of hatred!
