"Except for not liking pork, my mother doesn't have any special taboos." Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but sigh, "Her pattern has nothing to do with taboos. She is just picky and thinks that other people's things are not good and only her own.
Well, it has been like this for decades. My brother and I know her very well. She is just like this. She always only looks at her own things. She thinks that her ideas are right, and that everything she makes is delicious.
Everything you do is justified, and everything others do is wrong and bad."
Ning Youguang thought for a while and asked, "Is mom a full-time housewife?"
"It doesn't matter, my dad's construction team, she will help settle the accounts." The girl said.
"Then mom's life circle is relatively narrow?"
"Yes." The girl nodded, "For decades, she has faced those people and those things. She doesn't like reading or studying. Sometimes I see good courses online and share them with her.
, asked her to learn with her, but she said she couldn’t learn, so I said I would learn with her, so she could ask me if she didn’t understand anything, and she said she was old and tired and wanted to sleep..."
The more the girl talked, the more excited she became——
"The question is, how old is she? She's not even fifty yet. I think she just resists learning! Apart from my dad's work on the construction team, she only watches TV or plays mahjong with people around her every day."
"Mom doesn't have much room to grow after she gets married."
"It's not that there isn't much room for growth, it's that there's no growth at all!" The girl looked a little tired, "Teacher Ning, before I went to college, I stayed with my parents a lot and didn't feel it. After I went to college, I also studied psychology.
When I went back for the holidays, I found that my parents had not grown at all, their thinking patterns had not grown, their minds had not grown, and their concepts had not grown."
"Many parents are like this. Their whole life is to get married, have children, and raise their children. Then they wait for their children to get married and have children, then they raise their grandchildren, and then they grow old. That's how they live their whole life."
"I find this kind of life so terrifying." The girl couldn't help but shudder, "What's the difference between this kind of life and the reproduction of animals?"
"This is human nature." Ning Youguang said, "Human nature only involves two things: survival and reproduction."
"..." The girl didn't quite understand what Ning Youguang said, "What about dreams? What about the realization of self-worth in life? Are these all about survival and reproduction?"
Ning Youguang said, "It depends on what people pursue their dreams and realize their self-worth. If it is for wealth, fame, food and sleep, then it is still human nature."
The girl felt a little confused: "Is motherhood human nature? Is it human nature to love beauty? Is it human nature to show off wealth?"
"It's all human nature." Ning Youguang said, "Mothers sacrifice themselves to protect their children in order to reproduce; some people love beauty also to gain the opportunity to reproduce; some men and women show off their wealth, which is similar to a peacock spreading its tail.
In order to fight for the opposite sex and finally get the chance to reproduce."
"Teacher, if you say so, I understand." The girl's face calmed down slightly. After a while, she asked again, "Is gratitude and tolerance human nature?"
"No, that's morality." Ning Youguang said, "Morality is not an inherent need of human nature. In most cases, morality is even anti-human nature." 1314
