Chapter 785 Being old and not dying is a thief!
Zhou Xia looked at these selfish old ladies and sighed deeply. It seemed that her mother was also such a person. There was nothing she could do. She put away the depression in her heart and continued: "The evil fruits that were sown in the beginning are now being harvested."
season... So, they don't feel
Square dancing may cause trouble to others, and they may not feel that giving up their seat is a kind of caring and not something they should take for granted. It may even confuse right and wrong and frame others. The lack of basic public education during their growth period makes them think that everything is taken for granted, and they may even do whatever it takes.
self-interest.
Of course, in addition to education, it is also closely related to another kind of personal experience. Unfortunately, these elderly people grew up in an era when evil had no bottom line. Previous political struggles inspired the worst elements in human nature. One
If people can even criticize their parents and teachers, and even the couples who sleep in the same bed can expose each other, what else can they trust? What bad things can they not do?
No matter what they experienced later, everything they experienced in the formative period of their values has been enough to influence many of them. People grow up looking at the backs of their parents. The education of character depends largely on family and
The elders around them teach by words and deeds, relying on the influence of their ears and eyes. It is precisely this generation that
When people grow up, there are many gaps and blind spots. When it is most time to receive moral education, emotional guidance, and learn civilization, it is either a catastrophe or the opposite. As a result, when you become parents or grandparents, you can lead by example.
There is no way to talk about it, and being old and disrespectful has become a scene.
Needless to say, there will be disrespectful elders in every era, but this era is especially so. This does not mean that these elders are worse, but that the imprint of their growth prevents them from getting rid of some limitations. Although they later experienced
Painful disillusionment awakens and renews knowledge, but the traces of growing up drinking wolf's milk are deep-rooted, and this heavy mark cannot be removed by them.
In fact, it is not because of social diversification and changes in the atmosphere that the original simple and kind-hearted old people have become bad. It is precisely the generation with serious defects in their growth stage that has entered the ranks of the elderly. Coupled with the increasingly developed society,
In the media, the deterioration of the elderly appears in front of the public more and more frequently."
Lu Xin, Jiang Yanfang, Liu Yao, and Li Qingqing all agreed with Zhou Xia's conclusion and nodded in agreement.
Jiang Yanfang thought of the disrespectful old people she had met. She smiled bitterly and said: "The people who waved the Little Red Book back then are old. But their badness will not weaken as they get older. Their values are not to speak out.
Rules, unscrupulous means, and no humanity. A few years ago, in order to gain limelight by singing a famous song in the imperial capital, an old man even refused to go to the funeral of his own mother after she died; in recent years, reports have repeatedly revealed
I saw some elderly people violating the young girls who were left behind. In real life, those who like to take advantage of girls on crowded buses are basically the older and sluttier old men. Not to mention the aunties. No matter if they are taking the bus
, or go shopping in the supermarket, it is rare to see them having the habit of queuing up. Those people who are so panicked and cross the highway every day are basically the same group of people.
I went to an event some time ago. The person sitting next to me was a very energetic and talkative old man. During the meeting, he introduced himself and organized a singing team to go somewhere to practice singing every day. At that time, I asked him what to do if the surrounding residents disagreed? He said
He told me very proudly: We are not afraid, because they can't beat us. The more they interfered, the louder the volume we turned up, and then no one dared to interfere. I am speechless against such shameless people."
Zhou Xia continued to look out the window and sighed: "Most of these old people advocate jungle-like values and lack basic public consciousness and the rules and knowledge of debate. This leads to the bottom line of society being flattened when disputes are resolved. Those just mentioned
Middle school students patiently and politely protested square dancing’s harassment of normal teaching order, and in exchange
But it was the verbal humiliation of those old ladies; and a few months ago, a man in the imperial capital used gunfire and Tibetan mastiffs to drive away square dances. The effect was obvious. Of course, the man was also punished by law. If the solution to the problem is not
Debate and consultation, but using violence to fight violence are undoubtedly very dangerous to the operation of the entire society."
Lu Xin smiled and said, "Didn't Confucius have a saying that he who doesn't die when he grows old is a thief?"
Li Qingqing smiled and said: "Confucius did say that. There is such a place in "The Analects of Confucius - Xian Wen": "The original soil was barren, and Confucius said: "Young people have no grandchildren, and old people have no words to describe."
If you don't die, you are a thief! "Tap his shins with your staff." This means: Yuan Rang sat with his legs spread apart and waited for Confucius. Confucius scolded him and said: "When he was young,
If you don't respect filial piety and have no achievements to speak of when you grow up, you are really a pest if you don't die even when you are old." As he said that, he tapped his calf with his cane. It can be seen that our traditional Chinese respect for the elderly and filial piety are also conditional.
Yes, the old man must behave like an old man, otherwise not only will he not be respected, but he will also be scolded as 'too old to die'."
Liu Yao looked at her mother and Lu Xin, and pointedly said: "In today's Chinese society, the problems that exist with the elderly must be corrected. We cannot just obey the elders almost unconditionally just because they respect the elderly.
.”
Jiang Yanfang deliberately ignored her daughter. It was impossible for her to give up on Lu Xin. She said instead: "Their generation is old, and they may not be far from the crematorium, even if they have a bit of hostility from that era.
, even if they are a bit uglier, it doesn’t seem to matter much. The problem lies in their next generation. The next generation is their children and was trained by them. The hostility and ugliness in them must have been passed on to their descendants to some extent.
one
The next generation. There is also the next generation, that is, their grandchildren. Maybe they are also passing on their hostility and ugliness to them through various channels. Therefore, there are so many problems in this society now. In the final analysis, they are passed down from one generation to the next.
The bad social atmosphere of a generation. Part of the tragedy of this society is that a group of people with low cultural quality and who grew up in an era without any moral beliefs are entering a stage where they can rely on their old age and sell themselves off."
Zhou Xia sighed: "The generation of people who were over 15 years old when the catastrophe began is now over 60. At the most important time for the formation of their outlook on life, they have encountered an era of complete lack of etiquette, justice and shame, betraying relatives and friends in the name of nobleness, and moral decay. There is no truth in their hearts.
Without faith, those old people who fall down and then beat them up are probably the products of that era. Of course, that generation is also the most miserable generation.
After the completion of the revolutionary movement, they were driven to the countryside for re-education. They managed to survive until 1977. Some of them went to college. Although most of them returned to the city to work in state-owned enterprises, the good times did not last long. Some were laid off and some were unemployed.
