Spring is the season of revival and the busiest time for bees. Ordinary bees shuttle between flowers, from one to another, constantly collecting nectar and pollen, contributing their own strength to the survival and reproduction of the entire bee colony.

However, the queen bee in a beehive lies flat when she is born, accepting offerings from the entire colony and eating free honey every day. Ordinary bees in a beehive can only live for one year, while the queen bee can live up to 30 years. Converted into human lifespan, an ordinary person lives to 70 years, while the queen can live to 2,000 years.

In theory, the queen bee should be the happiest creature in the world. Even the First Emperor would envy her. Unfortunately, it can only lie in the hive for its entire life. It only does three things in thirty years: eat continuously, mate continuously, and produce continuously. From birth to death, it has never seen a ray of sunlight.

The core of all religious philosophies in the world is nothing more than the word "suffering". All the brilliant speeches are proving how to correctly view suffering, understand suffering, accept suffering, and strive to find that tiny bit of sweetness that belongs to us among billions of sufferings.

A lot of so-called sufferings are nothing more than a process of experience and accumulation.

People are not satisfied with their lives for eight out of ten times. Does studying necessarily lead to results? Not necessarily. Does living a good life necessarily lead to good treatment from life? Not necessarily.

Zhang Lan used the 'Save All Living Beings' spell on Li Haimei. Just now, Li Haimei talked about how hard her life was. Zhang Lan quietly took a look with his Merit Spirit Eye and found that Li Haimei's body was on the verge of collapse.

It's the kind of thing that looks fine, but in fact, once you get sick, it will cause a system in the body to collapse, and then it will lead to a series of fatal problems.

After that, Zhang Lan left and let his mother listen to his complaints. Zhang Lan had seen a lot of things like the hardships of life and had heard a lot about them from others.

For an ordinary person, if he doesn't want to suffer in life, most of the time there are only a few paths he can choose.

At a previous class reunion, Zhang Lan met a gaming buddy from college. While they were eating and chatting, she heard that the other party was not married and was working in a factory maintenance team, earning a low salary and accumulating seniority.

After knowing this, Zhang Lan felt that he had some ability at the time, so he told the other party that if it didn't work out, he could arrange for him to work in a factory to learn technology. He would have to work hard for a few years, then get an electrician's license. After getting the license, he would be given a new position and higher salary. Then, after a few years, he could get married, have children, and it wouldn't be a problem to buy a house with a down payment.

Zhang Lan had good intentions at the time, but who would have thought that after considering it, the other party actually shook his head and refused. This surprised Zhang Lan very much. He felt that the arrangement was good enough. Was there something wrong?
Then the other person shook his head and said that there was nothing wrong, he just simply didn't want to learn.

Zhang Lan thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. It would be fine if his family was well-off, but his family was not very wealthy.

Older migrant workers would be so eager to resign on the spot and agree to such an opportunity.

But as for classmate Zhang Lan, I'm sorry, I don't want to learn, please don't bother me.

Sometimes, the difference in thinking between people is really huge, so big that they don’t seem like the same species.

Zhang Lan can understand that people don't want to suffer or want to lie down, but these are helpless choices made when one cannot see the goal of struggle or when the struggle is hopeless.

Now there are people willing to lend a hand, but you still stubbornly choose to stand still, which is hard to understand. Sometimes, suffering is not given by God, but you seek it yourself.

Another example is the preference for sons over daughters. With the same preference for sons over daughters, some have a messy life, while others can be praised by their parents everywhere for being smart and filial. Even though the other party married far away and didn't go home to visit his parents for many years, it is purely a personal choice and struggle.

Zhang Lan was talking about a female high school classmate named Li Shumiao. Since they were classmates, and they both applied for computer science and later worked in the programming industry, the two of them kept in touch online from time to time.

Since Li Shumiao was a child, her parents have always emphasized that they have given a lot for her, love her very much, and have spent their whole lives for her and her brother. The family is poor, and when she grows up, the family will depend on her.

This kind of moral kidnapping made Li Shumiao feel very guilty. She felt that her parents lived a hard life and the family was very poor. Every penny she spent was wrong and she was being immature.

So from the time he started working after graduation until he got married, Li Shumiao did not have any savings. Except for some living expenses, he gave the rest to his parents.

Before the engagement, Li Shumiao's parents told her that the family had no money and no house, and how much other girls had given as gifts, etc. Li Shumiao knew what her parents meant as soon as she heard them. Working in the Internet industry, she knew the public opinions on the Internet very well.

Li Shumiao and Zhang Lan complained to each other. Zhang Lan said that no one could do anything about it. It all depends on your choice. It is useless for outsiders to say anything. On one side is your parents, and on the other side is your fiancé. Outsiders are not suitable to make decisions for you.

Later, Li Shumiao told his parents that his female classmate had no status in her husband's family after marriage because her parents' family kept all the betrothal gifts. Her husband's family always looked down on her and she was having a hard time. She was not living a happy life and was about to get divorced.

I also told my parents that parents who truly care about their children’s well-being would not want their daughter to remarry. I don’t know whether my best friend’s parents are doing this for their daughter’s good or for my own good, etc.

In the end, when Li Shumiao married her husband, she did not ask for a betrothal gift or a dowry. She and her husband had a naked marriage. After the marriage, she used the money she saved to buy a small house with no down payment, and then she paid the mortgage with great difficulty.

During that period, Zhang Lan and Li Shumiao were chatting about borrowing money for daily operations. The mortgage was about to expire and the salary had not been paid yet.

Later, when Li Shumiao and his wife's situation improved, they started to have children. At that time, Zhang Lan advised them to save as much money as possible, because her husband was alone and her parents might not be able to rely on him. After marriage, the child-rearing and mortgage issues alone would cause the couple to collapse.

Li Shumiao didn't believe it, saying that she had calculated it all. By that time, her brother would be in college, and her parents would be able to take time off. Her family didn't have to farm, and her father worked away from home all year round. She would take a three-month break before and after giving birth, and then her mother would come to take care of the child for two years. She would be able to make the transition.

As a result, when Li Shumiao was about to give birth, her mother told her that she didn't have time because she had to earn money to buy a house for her brother and could not take care of the child.

Li Shumiao was about to collapse. She compared herself with her brother and realized one thing: her parents did not love her as much as she thought. They did not accompany her and did not give her financial support.

Most of their care went to her younger brother, supporting him to go to college and buying him a house. As for Li Shumiao, except for the first year of college, he asked his parents for money, and then he worked day and night during the winter and summer vacations, and worked hard on part-time jobs during the weekdays to earn money.
