It was almost impossible to conduct any formal lesson, she commented.
The *little pals were restless, mood-less, whatever-less…
Understood. They had taken the promotional examination long long ago. Their scripts were all marked and their promotional status were discussed and fixed, and yet the release of results has to hold back till much later date (after the last group of PWOP has done their presentation). Naturally, all the *little pals are (very) anxious. Needless to say, they (almost all if not all) are (very) not focused at all.
While they are going through such an anxious stage, we still want them to attend formal lessons. If I am the students, I think I will also sianz-one-half.
So, it is quite predictable that the progress/outcome of lessons cannot always be the most desired kind.
In fact, just yesterday, the students from one class were quizzing L, questioning L about many things before lesson. They weren’t asking any math-related questions. They were just not in the mood for lessons and perhaps dearly hope their math lesson could just turn into a casual discussion session.
In fact, their questions signaled stressed elements and so L sincerely tried to answer their questions in the hope of helping them somewhat. However, the more she tried, the more she realized how not convincing her answers were. Because her answers only led to more complicated questions. She was quite confused too.
I don’t remember the exact wordings used by the *little-pals (of course). Here, I modify their questions for a little bit more of dramatic effects. I didn’t capture L’s reply here and the green texts were merely my immediate thoughts there and then.
Why is life so stressful?
I know they are stressful now. Did they forget the good times they had?
Why must we study? Studying is so stressful!
Yes, I have to agree with them about the stressful part. But don’t they derive any joy in the learning and discoveries?
Huh? What? Study so that we can work and contribute to the society next time? But working is also very stressful!
Yes, I kind of agree too. Since we all got to work, I only hope they can find a job they like so that the stressful elements can be reduced somehow.
Aren’t we all looking forward to a relax and fun-filled life?
Yes, I do. I do.
Then why are we are all suffering now? Studying is stressful! Next time working also stressful! Argg.. Study for what?
Mm.. Frankly, study for what? Just, for a better life next time? What about now just study and ignore every other thing? That wouldn’t be enjoyable also, I guess.
So when can we actually have a relax life?
When we retire? With 60 odd years of slogging, just to have a few more years after retirement to relax? Mm… That would be so sad. Many people also never survive past 60 year-old.
So, you mean we can only relax and have fun when we retire?
I also hope we can relax and have fun anytime, any moment.
When we retire at such an old age, we will be not as strong or as healthy, then how to really relax and have fun?
So, maybe we should all just forget about studying (and working) now and just go all out to have a fun-filled life? Erps.. Only to realize we don’t the means yet.
Haiz.. Life is just so stressful! Come to this world don’t know for what? Just to eat, sleep, study, work and then die?
Do you believe there is a purpose for everyone? What is your purpose in life?
L : 我真的不会回答。
Me : 我也觉得不容易。或许也没有所谓的标准答案吧。
- - - - - -
可是我也觉得他们的问题也很自然啊。
这些问题都是人类在精神受压迫的时候会问的。
如果我们不会回答他们的问题，那这些问题也是我们的问题。
意思是说，一旦我们碰到逆境，心情郁闷难解之时，
我们也会怀疑我们现在所为的价值、甚至对人生产生怀疑。
I hope the *little pals can get through this stage safely. There are many good things awaiting them, if they find the key to lead a life full of purpose.
I also hope all of us (including L) can think about those questions even while we are (she is) so contented with our (her) life now. Because we will have answers for ourselves in time of need.
Just what is the force that keep us going, even when time is bad?
So sorry, I didn’t provide any answer here.
Maybe the answers are all lying in our hearts.
哪儿都可以很洒脱
