With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibilities

 

When you teach someone to build something, you would like them to have the ability to build that particular item when the old one breaks or get destroyed.
You want the skill to be passed on.
However, at the same time, when you have passed on the skill, that particular item no longer holds the same value to your protégé as compared to the time before they possess the knowledge to build the item.
The reason being, they can simply build another item for replacement easily.
It is not the case every time, but sometimes, the ability to create diminishes the value of possession.
When you earn enough money to not have to worry about the amount of money that you have, does money still hold the same value to you as before?

Money corrupts men.

This is one statement that I do not intend to disprove.
Earning money is easier than not spending the money that you have earned.
When you earn too much, just stop and have a look around yourself and lend a hand to the people around you.
If you think that there is no people around you that needed your help, I don't think you have really looked at all.

哭...

那天,你刚学了3D形状,在学校用粘土和牙签做了一个金字塔回来。
途中,我们绕过幼儿园接你的弟弟和妹妹。
你一看到他们,把书包和金字塔一丢,就冲上前和他们一起玩了。
玩了一阵,当我们离开之后,你才想起你的金字塔忘了拿了。
其实,当我刚看到那个金字塔的时候,它就已经撑不起来了,所以我就说不拿也罢。
但是你坚决要回去拿。
谁知,金字塔在那几分钟里面就被其他的小朋友给分解了。
你顿时并没有哭。
我还记得很清楚,你当时很明显的一边在看着你的金字塔,一边在处理你心头突然涌起的情绪。
悲伤,愤怒,不解,悔恨,估计所有的情绪都一一上门报到了。
终于,当我们走出幼儿园的范围之后,你哭了,淘淘大哭。
我可以从你的哭声感觉到,你顿时觉得这个世界好陌生,你根本都不了解它。
好好的一个金字塔放在桌上,又没有扔在地上,为何会有人想要把它给分解了。
你跟我说你在课堂上尝试想做一个正方立体,但是没有成功,所以老师就把它给扔了,不能带回家给我看。
那时,我才意识到,那个金字塔虽然不是那么完美,但是显然是你的所有,是你的骄傲,是你用来换取父母亲肯定的一个作品。
那不只是区区一个快要散架的金字塔。
你哭得泣不成声。
你一边哭,一边替你的金字塔打抱不平,一边埋怨这个世界,一边不停的问我为什么这,为什么那。
你很悲愤。

亲爱的儿子,我不能让时间重来。
我也回答不了你所有关于这个世界的问题。
我只能在你哭泣的时候,陪在你的身边聆听你的苦恼,然后听你淘淘大哭,然后再告诉你,你很棒,一切都会好起来的。
经过了今天,你会把明天驾驭得更好。

我爱你 ❤
