Is bowing down to reality after encountering setbacks a manifestation of sorrow?

On the grand stage of life, there are always moments that ruthlessly defeat you. Don't believe it? Just ask the people around you; almost no one can win every battle. Even if you are tenacious and stubborn, when faced with a real setback, you must bow down and learn how to reconcile with reality.

Some may argue that bowing down to reality is a kind of sorrow. Hey, don't rush to jump up and declare that bowing down to reality is a lamentable act. Let me tell you, it's the beginning of growth. Life, it never holds your hand and teaches you how to do things; it's a tough test where sometimes you have to learn to bend, swallow your pride, and deal with reality. Sounds awkward? Yes, it is awkward, but this awkwardness is part of your growth.

Back in the day, that fresh graduate, full of burning passion and enthusiasm, wanted to break free from the shackles of reality and soar high. But reality? It's not that accommodating; it always gives you a slap, making you understand what "some things are not as easy as you think" means. That young man, overwhelmed by the mundane tasks of work and stumbling through the trivialities of life, still had to bow down, learn to suppress his anger, and then slowly adjust his state to continue moving forward.

Let me tell you, in this world, there is not so much idealism. Everything depends on your own hands to strive for. Unless you are truly under the protection of Lady Luck, everyone has to bow down, accept seemingly boring trivialities, reconcile with reality, and gradually adapt.

Don't think that bowing down is surrendering, and don't think that bowing down to reality is sorrowful. That's called growth, experience, and wisdom. Yes, in the journey of life, no one has an easy road all the way. There are always setbacks, always challenges. But it is these setbacks, these challenges, that make us stronger and more resilient.

Those who willingly bow down are not weak; they understand that sometimes letting go of some pretense, learning to accept reality, is not abandoning dignity but laying a solid foundation for their own growth. Yes, bowing down may be a momentary concession, but it is by no means a permanent surrender.

It depends on whether it's a major setback or a minor one.
