Isn't it strange that people want to be called handsome or beautiful, regardless of whether they are really young or beautiful? Whether or not they are really young and beautiful, they want to be called handsome or beautiful; whether or not they are really rich, they want to be envied by others who are doing well. It seems that only in this way, the heart will be comfortable, living will be happy.
This should be the vanity in the monster. With this kind of psychology, regardless of age, everyone has learned to compare, learned to "disguise", obviously know than to compare, you or you, I or I, what can not change, but always want to show their best side, always want to be stronger than others, a little bit better.
As the 54-year-old Auntie Yan in the courtyard said:
01
My mother is an ordinary old woman in the countryside and has always lived in the village. After my father left a few years ago, I planned to take her to the city. But my mother said, "What's so great about the city, it's all about going up and down the stairs every day, it's not grounded at all.
It is said that filial piety to the elderly, both filial piety and obedience. So I didn't insist on my own idea, but often give her a call, chatting days, have time to go back to take a look.
Then I retired, I wanted to help my son with the children, to take care of the house. The first thing I'd like to say is that I don't know what to say, but I'd like to say that I don't know what to say, and I don't know what to say, and I don't know what to say.
Listening to the gongs, listening to the words, listening to the sound. The mother said half a day, in fact, is a sentence, want to let me also go back to accompany her, think so have face.

It's interesting to think about how people are getting older, and how they're really like children. The first thing I want to do is to get my hands on a new car, and then I'm going to go back to the car and get a new car.
The day I went back, my mother was waiting at the entrance of the village, and after I got off the bus, I walked most of the way, afraid that the neighbors would not see me. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good look at the way she looks, but I think I'm going to be able to get a good look at the way she looks at it.
Although already more than 70 years old, but the mother is a person old heart is not old, usually very like to dress up, hair dyed black, clothes ironing flat, every day before going out, will also quietly wipe some of my skin care products.
To put it mildly, it's a good idea to have a good mindset and a good spirit. Sometimes, the money is not important, as long as the happy just good.

One evening, I was cooking, my mother came back from the dance. Not waiting for me to speak, she opened the box, indignant nagging on.
It turned out that a dancing mom bought a new gold necklace, and boasted that her son paid for it as a birthday gift to her.
I smiled and comforted her not to care, really can not we also buy a piece. The first time I heard me say this, my mother was happy, but her mouth was chattering that she did not mean it, and that the necklace was too expensive, and that my retirement pay was not enough.
The next day, my mother rummaged through the closet and took out a bunch of money and handed it over to me, explaining that this is what my brother and I usually give her, and that it's not useful to keep it.
Previously, I always thought that young people, because of the lack of life experience, will be vain and like to compare, I did not think that today's elderly people also have such a "problem".

Everything has two sides, and vanity is no exception. Although it will make people impatient, bring some trouble, but for the elderly, it is not a kind of "incentive", a kind of fun?
My mother was sick that year. I wanted to take her to the hospital, but was flatly refused. After much deliberation, I came up with an idea.
I asked my hairdresser to lie about taking her parents to live in the city, and asked her to come to the house on purpose to say goodbye to me before she left. In fact, my purpose was simple: to irritate my mother.
I don't know if my approach worked, but in the end, my mother didn't refuse, and followed me back to the city quite happily.
A few months later, my mother quietly went away. I've been thinking about what she did for a long time. The comparison, the "vanity", the unconvincing strength, let me open my eyes.
In life, unrealistic comparison, showing off, competitiveness, certainly can not be advocated, is not worth learning, but for the lonely old man, this sensible "vanity" but in the heart of the layer of ripples, so that they at the end of life and have a contentment, a The first time I've seen this, I've seen it in my own life.
The common sense of looking down on everything is very valuable, but we are all ordinary people, if we do not have that kind of realm, just let nature take its course, and what's wrong with being true to yourself?
