The childlike innocence of traditional literati

Today's society is so complicated, do you still want to keep your "childlike innocence"?

On the way of growing up, my parents and teachers taught me a principle: learn to be a man first, and then learn to do things. In addition, I lived in towns and villages when I was a child, so I accepted traditional ideas. I also think that "morality" is the most important code of conduct that people need to abide by in the world. I believe:

It's just that with the growth of age, more and more people come into contact with each other, and gradually I find that the gap between the ideas I have always believed in and the potential ideas in society seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

When I was a child, I was taught to be a person with a sense of justice.

When I grew up, I found it more common to presume that the victim was guilty.

When I was a child, I was taught to be kind and care for small animals.

When I grow up, some people admit that the cat killer is just an animal.

When I was a child, I was taught to respect others, regardless of gender, region and hobbies.

When I grow up, I see discrimination everywhere, but everyone is used to it.

When I was a child, I felt that human life was the most important thing, and I shouldn't decide a person's life and death at will.

When I grow up, words like "deserved it", "died a natural death" and "suggested shooting" are endless.

I wrote an article before: "The sophomore committed suicide after being caught cheating, which made me see the indifference of human nature".

Although I understand that everyone has his own three views, he should also respect everyone's three views. But the acceptable "three views" should be on the premise of "not affecting others"

In the name of "personal freedom", what is the difference between attacking others and venting their anger?

In the years after graduation, I have met all kinds of people. When there are unfair and unjust things in society, some people will make me look down on them and say to me, "This is the way of society, and rich people can do whatever they want;" You can only blame yourself for being hurt; Hanging high is none of your business; Liars are shot, dogs are shot, homosexuals are shot ... "

They are in the same party, they muddle along, they force their three views into others' mouths, and they think that adapting to society is only domesticated by the dark side of the world, and even hope that others will follow suit.

I have tried to blind my eyes, look at the problem from the perspective of those people and face the society like them. But my confusion is getting stronger and stronger, and the emptiness of losing myself and the guilt of trying to numb all make me feel pain.

I let go, I realized that I was not wrong, and those who have a conscience and a childlike heart are not wrong. The so-called fatigue is just a normal feeling when we are trying to fight against the cold and cruel world.

People who have a pure heart will stick to their beliefs, be pure, clear and kind, and leave a pure land in the polluted world. They seem to be out of place in this world, and it is difficult for them to feel at home in the workplace like others. Their inner wealth is hard for others to have, and those who are not shaken by the external environment can find what they have been looking for.
