B is a good friend of mine for many years. When chatting with me, I often mention a middle school classmate Pepe, who said that he envied her for having a life. The so-called life, that is, she often basks in the circle of friends: homemade food and hiking in her spare time. Of course, she is accompanied by her husband.
After the envious speech is finished, it is inevitable to add an "alas" to show that you have no helplessness in life.
In fact, B is really so busy that he has no life at all? Not really. He works in a Sino-Japanese joint venture automobile enterprise, and he has a single day off every week, from eight to five, and he needs to be on duty for about two days every week. The so-called duty is about twenty hours a day. When you are on duty, you are not busy without touching your feet. Unless there is a worker below who reports that there is something wrong with the machine, he can always stay in the office.
it was nine o'clock in the evening when he talked to me on the phone. I said, you see, you are not completely without life. You are not on duty at this time, but you are staying in the dormitory. You also have a rest on Sunday. You can do something you like during these hours. Read a book, watch a movie, and treat yourself with a big meal.
he smiled helplessly. I haven't touched books since I graduated from college. I don't like watching movies, and I'm not in the mood to cook alone.
After a second's silence, I frankly said in a slightly lively tone, in fact, you don't have no life, but have lost your enthusiasm for life.
he gave a helpless smile again. So powerless. Call me back and say, maybe.
I don't know why, but at that moment I felt that he was getting old. From the moment he lost his passion for life, he was old.
I have another friend, Z, who works in an advertising company. Last December, she didn't have a rest for a whole month. She worked overtime until eleven o'clock at night, and went back to take a shower and fell asleep. Arrive at the company at nine o'clock on time the next day.
Even so, she still has a secret and tiny passion for life, like a small flame that never dies in her heart. Before going to bed, she sent a Weibo saying that if the city is a forest, she can be like a monkey in a virgin forest, straining one vine and swinging it to another vine, swinging it all the way to the company.
Finally, with a little leisure time, Z strolled around the vegetable market and bought fish and vegetables. I went back to rice congee, where I cooked glutinous rice, fried fish and vegetables, and began to have a hearty breakfast.
So when it comes to being busy, Z is also a busy office worker, and she is thankful to get off work on time one day in a month. But she still has an immortal passion for life. Stay interested in the world at any time. Still keep a cheerful heart, just as young.
can work deprive a person of his enthusiasm for life? I think the answer is not absolute. If you can keep a heart full of interest in life, no matter how busy you are, it is hard to deprive you.
