If this world is really not worth it, where else can we go?

Li Dan’s original words: Be happy, my friend, the world is not worth it.

?All that is left in my circle of friends is: The world is not worth it.

Fu Seoul criticized Li Dan in Qi Pa Shuo: You only told us that the world is not worth it, but you didn’t tell us where else to go. Yes, Mr. Dan, this world is not worth it, where else can we go? There was a time when I particularly admired Gao Xiaosong. He said: Life is not just about the present, but also about poetry and the distance. He also said: Live a life of warmth and purity, never giving up love and freedom.

Only recently did I understand that that was Gao Xiaosong’s life, Gao Xiaosong through and through. I couldn't see the world in Gao Xiaosong's eyes. He could be confident in his appearance, and he could even be calm about other people's abuses. I knew that I would not be able to live like Gao Xiaosong after all. I have never been to Northern Europe, and I cannot understand the Nordic minimalist life. I am not as knowledgeable as Gao Xiaosong, and I cannot understand the love and freedom in his words.

?I began to doubt what I believed in. In a materialistic business society, who can you talk about love and freedom with, and what ideals can you talk about? You don’t even have the right to pursue idealism. There is nothing wrong with following the crowd, but it is really hard to insist on being yourself. I see many friends around me who are decently poor. In the eyes of others, you will never live up to yourself. What I see in others is what others want you to see.

?Late at night, I always ask myself repeatedly, what is the purpose of living? How to live happily? Does what you are doing make you happy from the bottom of your heart? During this period of time, I seemed to have lost myself. I didn’t know how to be happy. I began to think that living was just for living. I kept asking myself, what can I do to make myself happy? I asked my friend, how can I be happy? Are you unhappy? Through the answers, I realized that it turned out that the siege was a prison built by myself. You are your own siege.

The pace of life in this era is too fast, and I feel like I can’t keep up. Information explosion, fast-paced society full of anxiety. I feel like I am living alone in a paradise land: I have yellow hair hanging down, and I am enjoying myself happily; I wonder what time it is today, but I don’t know the Han Dynasty, regardless of the isolated idealism of the Wei and Jin Dynasties; I am quite incompetent. Outsiders are also aloof and arrogant, and no one cares about them until later. Where can one find someone who is alone?

?Sometimes, it is difficult for you to weigh whether your current life status is reasonable. When all the friends around me get married one by one, I will ask myself: Do you want to get married? What kind of marriage do you want? Can you compromise? What can you compromise on? Too many people told me that approaching thirty is the right time to get married, but no one ever told me why I should get married when approaching thirty.

Most of the principles in this world are the same. They only tell you what to do, but never why you should do it. It is like an established fact that has been established by convention. It seems that happiness is our constant pursuit in this life. However, at a certain period of time, we don't know how to be happy. That kind of helplessness, that kind of helplessness, is really not what outsiders can understand.

People who love you will always try to understand you and comfort you, but they will never be able to empathize with you. Because in this world, even sadness and cowardice are unique.

Some people say that your living situation is wrong, but some people will also tell me that there is nothing wrong with it. How are the standards of right and wrong established? But what I believe is that no one can use your experience to decide what is right or wrong without fixed standards. I rarely think about the right and wrong of standards of right and wrong. Be happy my friend, this world is not worth it. What Li Dan wants to say is that the world is not worth your unhappiness. But I also ask the opposite question, if the world is not worth it, then where should we go? We all have the right to question the world. How we live is our own choice.

?When I was a child, I always wanted to grow up, but when I was young and had nothing to do, all my thoughts turned out to be wrong.
