Chapter 59

Dear Daddy Long Legs:
I was going to write to you from New York, but New York is too loud, uncle.I had a very educational day!I am glad that I grew up in an orphanage instead of being born into this kind of family.No matter how humble my background is, at least I live a simple and honest life without any affectation.Now, I finally understand why people always say that they are tired of things outside of them.It wasn't until I took the express train back to school that I was relieved, and the feeling of being overwhelmed by the tangible ambient atmosphere in the room began to disintegrate.All the furniture is finely carved, the interior is richly decorated; all people are well-dressed, polite, and talk in low voices, showing high taste.But to be honest, uncle, from the moment I entered the door until I left, I never heard a single word of truth.I don't see anything new in the room.

Mrs. Pendleton, whose mind is full of money jewels, tailors, and banquets, is quite different from Mrs. Macbeth.If I ever marry and have children, I will bring up my children like the Macbeths, and no amount of money will turn them into Pendletons.Perhaps it would be rude of me to say this to a family that just hosted me.If so, please forgive me, I was just whispering to you.

I only saw Master Jervie once, at tea time, and it was a pity I didn't get an opportunity to talk to him alone.We should have gotten along really well last summer.He didn't seem to have much affection for his relatives, and they didn't pay much attention to him.

I saw countless beautiful houses, restaurants, and mansions, and my mind was filled with onyx, gilt, parquet floors, and palms, and I couldn't recover for a long time.I'm glad I'm back in school and being that total student again.The tranquility of the campus is more refreshing than the hustle and bustle of New York.College life is the cutest thing.Even if books, studies, and courses make people's mind active or tired, they can also go to the gymnasium or playground for activities, and there are many like-minded classmates, with whom we can talk all night long, and then sleep with peace of mind, as if we have resolved It's like a world problem.The conversation was filled with silly jokes, nonsense about trifles, and often self-satisfaction and self-satisfaction.At this time, we feel very comfortable.

What is most worth talking about is not the big ups and downs in life, but the joy found in some small things.I think I have discovered the secret of happiness, which is to live in the moment.Don't regret the past, don't just hope for the future, but enjoy life to the fullest.Just like farming, there is a difference between hasty farming and intensive farming.From now on, I want to live meticulously, enjoy every second of my life, and always be aware that I am enjoying it.In real life, many people are not living, but racing against time.They try hard to reach a certain climax on the horizon of life, so, in the desperate running, they have no time to watch the beautiful and peaceful scenery on both sides.Suddenly one day they find themselves old and worn out, and whether or not they reach their goals actually becomes a thing.But I plan to walk through life, taking short breaks along the way, accumulating bits and pieces of life's joys, even if I never become a great writer.Have you ever met a philosopher like me?
