Death is a moment of courage; living requires a lifetime of courage

In recent days, news about "death" has made people feel depressed.

On November 23, the 12-year-old son of Internet celebrity "Economist Mr. Song" fell to his death. According to Mr. Song's description, the child had already developed symptoms of depression before the accident and was not interested in his beloved painting. However, there was no real communication between the parents and the children, and the children did not tell their parents what they really thought. Neither the parents nor the head teacher discovered that the children were suffering from depression.

At 10 a.m. on December 1, the body of independent photographer "Lu Dawson" was found on a beach in Zhoushan. It was less than two and a half days since he posted his final suicide note online on the evening of November 28. It was later deduced that the suicide note was sent at a scheduled time on his mobile phone and that he had thrown himself into the sea earlier that night. That day was his 25th birthday.

As for whether Lu Dawson chose to end his life by drowning due to depression, various parties on the Internet have different opinions.

The dead are gone, but the living will continue to live.

Reminds me of "The Catcher in the Rye" - "When you are young, you can die noble for your ideals; when you are old, you can live humbly for your ideals."

The first half of the sentence is inappropriate for the boy and Dawson the deer.

What I want to express more is the second half of the sentence.

Cheng Ying, a righteous man of the Jin Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period, has been praised by the world for thousands of years.

At that time, Cheng Ying and Gongsun Chujiu arranged a plan, and everyone knew that the last line of the Zhao family had been cut off.

Carrying the reputation of betraying his friend, Cheng Ying endured the humiliation and eked out a living. He brought the real Zhao orphan to the mountains, kept his name anonymous, and raised him.

Fifteen years later, the orphan Zhao Wu received help, his identity was confirmed, and he was restored to a powerful family in the Jin Kingdom. When Zhao Wu was 20 years old, a crowning ceremony was held, marking his entry into adulthood. Cheng Ying died to express his feelings.

Once you die, you may be able to clarify your aspirations, you may be liberated, or you may be able to achieve your reputation.

But when there is a more important meaning that requires us to live bravely, living is more worthy of respect than dying.

There may be more such warriors around you and me.

They are as ordinary as passers-by A, B, C and D. They shoulder their own responsibilities and obligations and work hard to live seriously.

Death is a moment of courage; living requires a lifetime of courage.
