Before we entered this disgusting society, many people, or rather, the vast majority, were upright. Because the world is strange, even bad people tell their children to grow up to be good people. I have never seen a bad guy educate a child by saying, you must grow up to be a scoundrel. They all want to be good people, while we become scoundrels, and our family will prosper. I have never seen such education; it's always about teaching children to be upright, to be good people. But with this mindset, when young, everyone believes they can change the world. When you ask them what they want to be when they grow up? Some want to be pilots, some want to be astronauts, some want to be diplomats, all filled with lofty ideals and aspirations. Very few say they want to shovel dung, want to be a scoundrel, want to forge documents, want to sell aphrodisiacs, want to stick to telephone poles, none of that. However, after entering society in their twenties, the more upright and straightforward they are, those upright, just, and talented passionate youths will find that due to their straightforwardness, they achieve nothing from their 20s to 30s. Even if you have ability, talent, and enthusiasm, you achieve nothing. Because you do not calculate, do not flatter, do not know how to speak to people, do not know how to speak nonsense. Meanwhile, those cunning and worldly-wise, who are very slippery from a young age, make people feel scared, when they enter society in their twenties, they begin to study, and by their thirties, they live very well, having everything they want at home, even six mistresses, just like that. So for upright people, if they are not strong enough, it is very hard to maintain perseverance, right? It's hard to persist. Therefore, many of my peers, old classmates, and old friends, when they reach their thirties, struggle to decide whether to be a scoundrel or a good person, can’t hold on anymore, and in a moment of determination, become a scoundrel. Once they become a scoundrel, if they are filled with guilt, I estimate they won't last long, I am rather optimistic. As a result, these scoundrels, once they become scoundrels, develop delusions and think this is maturity. Thus, they tell the young people, I was like you when I was young, and later realized this was wrong and immature, thereby poisoning the next generation. I have seen countless such examples. So every time I go back, due to the feelings growing up together, my friends who are scoundrel businessmen, scoundrel officials, and scoundrels, I will be very warm when I return, suggesting we have a meal together or something. Sometimes I ask them, didn’t you all believe you could change the world when you were young? How did it turn out like this now? Then they would awkwardly laugh and say, oh, what changing the world, isn’t that just a child’s thought? Don’t talk nonsense, right? None of us can change the world. Sometimes I endure, sometimes I get excited, and I can’t help but tear off the mask and tell them, don’t be polite, you have actually changed the world. Look, you’ve turned into a disgusting person at over thirty, becoming one of the disgusting adults among the masses of society. How can you say you haven’t changed the world? You have made the world a little more disgusting because there’s now one more disgusting person on Earth. If you have not achieved any great cause in your life, have not made money, nor became famous, but led a straight life, not corrupt, and struggled to take care of your wife, children, and family, did you change the world during your life? If you lived to seventy or eighty without achieving any great cause, dying with your neck stiff, did you change the world? You still changed it, because the world now has one more good person, so you made the world a little better. Do you understand? Every life that comes to this world is destined to change the world; that’s our fate, you have no choice, right? Some people are unconvinced and say, damn it, I’ll commit suicide and see if I change the world. Your IQ also raised the suicide rate a little bit in this world, you still changed the world. Every person who comes to this world is destined to change it, there is not one exception. If you are a good person your whole life, you make the world a little better, maybe you haven’t achieved great causes, but you’ve turned into a disgusting little bureaucrat. You say, oh, I didn’t make the world too miserable, I’m not like Hitler who killed so many innocent people, but you still changed the world, made it a little more disgusting. Each of us who comes to this world is destined to change it; we must believe we can change the world and always do something, that’s it. ( Luo Yonghao )
