"As one grows older, the desire to gather with friends diminishes. Time is like a river, whether it's flowing through peaks or valleys, day or night, nothing can stop it from moving forward. With age comes an increasing sense of loneliness. In the later years of life, sinking into solitude becomes the norm.
When I excitedly reunited with old classmates, I discovered that things had changed. The names from memory or those individuals from our youth, the camaraderie between us couldn't be resurrected.
Among old classmates, there is also a tendency to compare and conceal true feelings. The classmates from memory and oneself exude a spirited confidence, full of strength, firmly believing that any difficulty can be overcome. When old classmates meet, they engage in comparisons and boast about their achievements. Despite appearing modest and low-key, their conversations are filled with hypocrisy. There is always a subtle show of their luxury car keys, custom-made watches, international brand handbags, and more.
When gathered together, they compare their materialistic lifestyles, from their children attending prestigious schools to their own successful careers. It seems as if taking the subway or living a modest life means they are not doing well. No one wants to speak the truth, and even if they do, not everyone wants to hear it.
Over the years, we should understand that long-lost old classmates may not harbor genuine feelings. After many years apart, things are not the same. The baptism of society, the changes in human nature, and even one's own transformation mean that we are no longer the same as we were in the past.
The old classmates gathered together now have become extremely unfamiliar, like a tedious dream that leaves nothing behind when you wake up." |
