There is no such word as easy in adult life.

There is a line in the movie Foreman:

Nothing meaningful will be easy,

There is no such word as easy in adult life.

In this world, many people enjoy the happiness of life in front of others, while chewing the pain of life behind their backs. It seems that everyone has a good life, but in fact, no one's life is particularly easy.

There is a question on Zhihu: What scenes make you feel that life is not easy?

One answer was highly praised. She said: My mother gave me a silver bracelet the day I went to college in other places. She said, daughter, you must be careful when you are alone outside. My mother can't give you anything better. This bracelet was bought by my mother with money from a plastic bottle. I hope everything goes well with you. At that time, plastic bottles cost a dime and bracelets cost more than 400.

No one will bend over more than 4000 times willingly, but this is one of the few ways for this mother to make money.

Seeing this reminds me of an incident when I was a child.

That Sunday afternoon, I was going to school and it was raining heavily outside.

"Why don't you go?" I asked my dad. Actually, I am very happy. As a student, I don't want to go to school.

Father shook his head, took out his raincoat, got on his motorcycle and took me to the station.

It happened that his raincoat was broken. I sat behind him and saw the rain seeping into his neck. Later, my mother told me that he was ill after returning to China.

Who would want to travel in the rain? But he is a father and should play the role of a good father.

Younger, our roles may be children and students. When we grow up, we have several more roles, such as parents, employees, or others. It's hard to be yourself, let alone others.

I have a roommate named Guoguo. Judging from her name, she is cheerful and always smiles. She is the liveliest and happiest one at every party. Whenever someone else has something sad, they will always look for her to find positive energy.

Yesterday, when I got home, I saw Guoguo sitting on the sofa with a lonely back. When I got closer, I found her look dull and her face was covered with tears.

Maybe she didn't know she was crying at all, because when she saw me, she smiled and said to me, "You're back."

That smile is uglier than crying; At that moment, I felt sorry for her.

I didn't ask her what happened I just silently went back to my room and gave Guoguo a space of her own. It seems that a tacit understanding has been formed. Venting is temporary, and the difficulties in life can only be digested by herself.

I read a sentence on Weibo before:

The collapse of modern people is a silent collapse. Seemingly normal, joking, fighting, socializing, seemingly calm. In fact, the bad things in my heart have accumulated to a certain extent.

Don't slam the door and smash things, don't cry or get hysterical. But it may suddenly accumulate to the extreme in one second. I didn't speak, didn't really collapse, didn't want to live, and didn't dare to die.

Fruit is like this, the tense string in my heart is broken, the inner collapse gushes out, and then I cry silently.

In fact, many people live like this, while loving life and enduring it.

I sometimes wonder, when did I start to realize that I am an adult?

Are you 18 years old? Did you come to the big city alone with a suitcase? Is it time to feed yourself?

Think about it, not really.

The transition from children to adults is probably a process from dependence on others to no dependence or even dependence on others. An adult, however, no longer reveals his vulnerability easily, knows what he should bear and silently swallows the hardships of life. When you meet something you want to give up, you will stick to it.

There was once a cartoon that was widely circulated. On the subway in Japan, a boy in a suit and tie was eating bread. He looked very wronged and was about to shed tears.

No one knows what happened to him, but everyone can understand the sadness.

There are many stories behind everyone, and everyone has many pains that they don't want to tell.

Life is never easy.

Walking down the street, you can see people in suits handing out leaflets, people bargaining, and shop owners eating quickly when no one is around. ...

They are the epitome of this city, and at the same time, they are themselves. They persisted in order to survive.

I don't want to say anything. I hope there is no suffering in this world. How can there be no suffering in this world? As an adult, everyone has experienced something more or less and learned that God is not only blessed.

I just want to say that life is not easy, but when you get through it, you will find that what you once thought was a rare death is actually nothing more than you.

This is the rule of this world, no one will be smooth sailing, and no one will be in the swamp all his life.

If we compare life to climbing a mountain, we should be halfway up the mountain now, almost exhausted, but there is no way out. All we can do is keep climbing, even if we use our hands and feet, even if it is full of thorns.

When you climb over, you step on suffering;

Hang in there, this is the meaning of life.
