From Childhood to Adulthood |
|
As I grew up, I experienced a sense of achievement in many aspects. This feeling
of accomplishment seemed to be everywhere during my childhood, but now it has
gradually diminished. I am perplexed.
Indeed, when we were young, even a small reward from adults would give us a
great sense of achievement. However, now, when adults give us even a slight
recognition, we feel underestimated instead. As a result, that sense of
achievement disappears.
In my childhood, I felt a constant sense of contentment, but now it has changed!
I remember that as a child, just receiving a book, even if it was one I had read
before, would make me so excited that I couldn't sleep at night. Back then, I
was happy, even if I couldn't sleep; it was a kind of bliss. But now, when I
finally get a book that I've longed for, there is no excitement at all. The joy
of not being able to sleep from childhood is gone. Although there is still a
faint happiness, it disappears within seconds. Perhaps my desires have grown too
large.
When I was young, even if I made a small mistake, I would worry excessively and
make a solemn vow, constantly reminding myself not to repeat it next time. Even
a tiny error would be engraved in my mind. However, now it has changed! Even if
I make a huge, unforgivable mistake, I don't feel the same shock and don't
remember it like I did in my childhood. I don't hold onto it as a lesson
learned. I just let it pass. Perhaps I have made too many mistakes.
Yes! We have lost so much! We have lost our childhood selves, the ones who were
easily satisfied, who experienced a constant sense of achievement, and who
promptly corrected their mistakes. |
