As Time Flows like Running Water |
|
|
When time flows like running water, leaving beautiful traces on the canvas
of memories, I found myself laughing as I looked at it, only to start crying
in the midst of my laughter. Along this journey, it turns out to be so
nostalgic.
When a person comes into this world, the first greeting to the world is
crying. With a loud voice, we announce our arrival to the world. The first
tear signifies our existence.
During infancy, when we have yet to use language, tears become our only way
of expressing our needs. When we're hungry, we cry. When we're thirsty, we
cry. When we're uncomfortable, we cry... The second time tears flow
represents our demands on this world.
Childhood, a naive and colorful period in our lives, is perhaps filled with
more laughter than tears. However, upon closer reflection, each person cries
far more in their childhood. We cry when we see others have things we don't
have; we cry when our best friends no longer pay attention to us, leaving us
feeling lonely; we cry when we fall down and get hurt... Tears in childhood
become our outlet for emotions.
"People say that youth knows no sorrow." Is it really so? The sorrows of
youth do not lie in the trivial matters of life or the struggle to make ends
meet. Where do the sorrows of youth lie? No one can say for sure, but during
our teenage years, we shed countless tears that cannot be counted. As
rebellious individuals, we seek to break free from the traditional education
imposed by our parents and venture out on our own. However, if we can't soar
high enough, we will fall back down. We, with our immature wings, are not
yet suited for this society full of storms. But does a single fall make us
give up? The answer is a resounding no. With each fall and subsequent rise,
tears and sweat intermingle. During our teenage years, tears become a symbol
of our strength.
Reflecting on this journey, I realize I have cried in innocence, in
ignorance, and in resilience. It seems that tears have grown with us as we
mature.
The day gradually darkens, and the night unfolds gracefully. It has become
colder, and I crouch down, embracing myself. When my heart feels uneasy, I
let it out and have a conversation with it. Along this journey, it has
always been there, accompanying us faithfully.
Winter has arrived, bringing a chilling wind that stirs up my thoughts.
Gazing at the desolate land outside the window, my heart feels cold, and a
single tear silently falls. Fortunately, I still have it!
The future, distant and uncertain, where should I go? I cannot predict the
magnitude of the storms that lie ahead. Will it still be by my side in the
future? On the path of growth, I cherish every tear shed. |

The passage reflects on the journey of life, comparing it to the flow of
time like running water. It highlights the significance of tears as a means
of expression, starting from the moment we enter the world with our first
cry. Tears continue to play a role throughout different stages of life,
symbolizing our desires, emotions, and resilience. Childhood is portrayed as
a period filled with both laughter and tears, while adolescence brings its
own share of struggles and tears as we navigate through challenges and seek
independence. The passage emphasizes the companionship of tears, the
importance of embracing and acknowledging emotions, and the value of tears
as we grow and mature. Ultimately, it encourages cherishing and valuing
every tear shed along the journey of life. |
