Chapter 2250: Life's Long Regrets
Moti found that his parents seemed to be less cold and violent during this period, and their relationship seemed to be much better. He was originally worried that his parents would divorce, but now it seems that he doesn't have to worry. Of course, he didn't know what happened, why did it suddenly happen?
The elderly, adults, and children all have worries, and so do fourteen-year-old children. Troubles accompany the whole life, which is the so-called "life is long and the water flows east".
People's sorrows are endless and can never be cut off.
However, this family is just worried about life, while Duran is worried about the world. Worrying about life or worrying about the world, simply understand that it is worrying about one's own life and future, or worrying about the world and the country.
The environment in which Duran grew up was different. From ancient times to the present, the official thought is to advocate worrying about the world more than worrying about life. Although there is no difference between the two, the official believes that worrying about the world is more extensive than worrying about life, so scholars should express their aspirations when writing poems, and they must not forget the country in their hearts.
Later, there were lyrics. At the beginning, writing lyrics was just a minor way, just a pastime for scholars, not a refined one, and it was not comparable to poetry. But later, the number of ci poems increased, and there were more and more excellent ones, so the literati who wanted to justify the name of ci poems also used ci poems as an expression of worrying about the world.
From this, we can see that in the environment where Duran grew up, worrying about the world was the real mainstream. Even if scholars could not eat, they could not forget the country and the people, and they should always be ready to devote themselves to the country. If a literary work wants to be officially recognized, it must have a sense of saving the world. If it is just worrying about life, it will inevitably be difficult to be accepted by the elegant hall.
However, works of worrying about life often resonate more with individuals. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to save the world, but everyone has to live their own life. Career and love are also eternal topics of works of worrying about life. Works of worrying about life are divided into personal realm and universal realm. The personal realm is limited to lamenting personal experiences, while the universal realm is "life is long and hateful, and the water is long east", which expresses universal values. It is not limited to a specific person. No matter the changes in time and space, as long as you are a person, you will have the opportunity to feel it.
Rick's family is now worried about life, and their worries are different. Children worry about puberty, adults worry about career, and the elderly worry about the past.
Duran used the standard of worrying about the world to ask this family, asking them to have a broad mind and work hard to realize their values. In Duran's view, the two are not contradictory. After all, he has always been educated to be "a farmer in the morning and a minister in the evening", "Are there any kings, princes, generals and ministers?" As long as he has the ability, he must always be ready to take on the great responsibility given by heaven.
But Rick obviously did not have such an educational environment. In his view, personal life and the country cannot be achieved at the same time. No matter how outstanding his talent is, it is his own, and it has nothing to do with others. If he is unwilling to display it, others cannot force him.
Duran wants Rick to change, but Rick does not want to change. Duran's series of actions made Rick more and more confused about why Duran wanted to change so much. Duran's twisted sense of responsibility was too redundant. This universe can continue to operate without anyone. Why is Duran so serious? Is it interesting for him to live like this?
Of course it is interesting, because Rick will not reflect on himself, so he will not find that the way he is targeting Jerry now is very similar to Duran targeting himself.
Rick doesn't like people around him to oppose him, and doesn't like people who disagree with his nihilistic escapism, so he tries every means to correct Jerry. Duran can't stand Rick's enjoyment and thinks Rick is wasting his talent, so Duran also wants to correct Rick.
Introducing Jerry's failure probability from other universes to attack Jerry in this universe, let everyone see that Jerry can't do anything well, Jerry will only repeat failures and can only be a supporting role in their family.
Duran said that he and Rick's forced use of thoughts to interfere with others is not "Cthulhu behavior"? It's just that the gap between Cthulhu and mortals' thoughts is too big, and language cannot describe it, so others think it's crazy, but in fact it's just that mortals don't understand it. The reason why mortals are afraid is because the weak culture is afraid of the strong culture, which is a kind of helplessness that can't resist and can only passively accept.
Duran sees that Rick is getting more and more excessive, and hopes that he can wake up quickly. After all, they are family members, not enemies, and they can't forget the premise of family members just because of different thoughts.
Recently, Moti felt that his grandfather spent too much time on his father. He used to disdain his father, but now he spends so much energy on him that he doesn't even take risks with him. Moti had to go to school and spend his days staring at the goddess at school. But he always felt uncomfortable watching his goddess and her boyfriend being affectionate with each other. He wanted to escape again, so he couldn't help asking his grandfather: "When will we take risks again?"
"Adventure? If we don't solve the problem at hand, we won't take risks. Morty, you have to help me persuade Jerry. He seems to be a serious person now. This is wrong. He is Jerry, the Jerry who can't do anything, and the Jerry who is still a clerk at an old age."
"I know my father is really ordinary, but Rick, don't you think you have become abnormal now? You didn't look at my dad straight in the eye before, but now you are thinking about how to target him all day long. You have been changed by him."
Rick jumped up: "How could I be changed by him?" Morty's words awakened the dreamer. Rick was smart. When he stared at the fool, the fool was also staring at him. Could it be that his genius brain was really affected by Jerry's mediocre brain?
It's possible, because fools are contagious, and he was sweating coldly.
Rick only felt that he was a scientist tempted by Cthulhu, and was almost influenced to become a fool: "Morty, you are right, I am too attentive, I am a genius, I should not spend too much time on Jerry, to be precise, I should not waste too much time on any ordinary things, my time is so precious, I should study my own things." He turned around, not knowing whether he really had an epiphany, or the previous method didn't work and he thought of other crooked ideas.
Rick has no time to accompany Morty, but Jerry now pays more attention to his family and starts to interact with his family frequently. Without the help of his grandfather, Morty can only look for his father, who makes him just a child.
Jerry taught Rick to study more, and if he has a sweetheart, don't worry, because there should be a lot of things to do at the age of fourteen: "Child, you are still young, you haven't gone to college, and you haven't broadened your horizons. In the future, you will know that there are still many people who are worth your efforts."
"I won't come out." Morty said that his father let him broaden his horizons. Does it mean that love should not be limited to the opposite sex? This is simply an enterprise-level understanding. It can only be said that Morty has learned bad things from being around Rick, and his thinking is too divergent.
Seeing his son like this, Jerry immediately thought of a solution: "Why don't we go on a trip as a family and see the people and scenery in other places. Son, you will see more beautiful girls in other places, and then you will know that your current relationship is immature and not well thought out." He knew very well that boys of this age are only attracted by appearance, so if he took his son to see more beautiful women, his son would not continue to have spring thoughts.
