I was reborn and became a monkey

Chapter 23 What is Freedom

"What do you mean?"

Xia Shi was stunned by Li Teng's sudden question. He wasn't quite sure why Li Teng would suddenly ask such a question.

"Look at the humans outside, they change one after another, but we are the ones who are fixed. Do you think it is better to be a human or a monkey?" Li Teng looked at those who took out their mobile phones to take pictures outside the glass. The laughing human asked thoughtfully.

"Of course it's good to be human."

Xia Shi replied without thinking.

"Why?" Li Teng asked curiously.

"Don't you think they are very free? Humans don't have to worry about eating or sleeping. They are not oppressed by monkeys like Hongya, and there are no cumbersome rules and regulations." Xia Shi looked at the humans outside the glass and said with envy. .

"How do you know they are not bound by these so-called rules?"

"Don't you know?"

"You know? Human beings are not as happy as you seem. They seem to have no such cage to restrain themselves, but they can never escape the cage in their hearts! As soon as they are born, they are bound by the so-called rules and systems. They use their grasping Zhou Lai expressed his strong inner control over his children. To put it nicely, he has good wishes for the children, but to put it more realistically, he means using so-called rules to restrain the children. If there is a child, let’s call him Little L. In Little L When he was a child, he wanted to grab a toy car, but his parents shook their heads and refused. He also wanted a paintbrush, but his parents forcibly pushed an abacus in front of him. There was no way, so little L just Neng picked up the abacus, and at this time, his parents showed what they called satisfied smiles."

"Won't the people around you stop them if they see it?" Xia Shi asked.

Li Teng sighed and shook his head: "Even people around him said that if Xiao L picked up the abacus, he would make a lot of money in the future and become a successful person. From this moment on, Xiao L has lost The self has lost the right to make independent choices.”

"Little L went to school and was asked by his parents to learn a lot of things he didn't like, such as calligraphy, foreign languages ​​and many other things... Little L liked playing football very much, but his parents said he was not doing his job properly! Just pretend that Little L finally passed the exam When I entered college, I wanted to choose a design major that I liked, but my parents felt that it was unreliable and had no future, so I was forced to choose an accounting major. This is a reliable and promising job in the eyes of my parents.”

"Just when Little L has reached the age of talking about marriage, there are many girls around him! Some are gentle, some are sexy, some are cute, and there is also a girlfriend who has been with the child for a long time and plans to get married. But there is still no one After passing the test of my parents, I had no choice but to choose a girl in the system that I disliked very much."

"What is within the system?" Xia Shi asked.

"It's just humans like us trapped in another kind of cage." Li Teng responded with a wry smile.

"Maybe there are poor people among humans who have the same experience as us." Xia Shi also sighed with regret.

"Even Little L's marriage was arranged by his parents. The wedding, car, house, and even the decoration of the wedding room were all arranged by his wife. Little L is like an NPC in the game, as long as he exists, There is no need to have an opinion of one's own. Later, Little L's parents urged the child to have a child. Little L had no choice but to obey. After the child was born, Little L saw his own child, and he remembered the past twenty years. The man whose life was controlled finally realized that he could no longer let his children be like him, and he wanted to change his children."

"When Little L's child was having sex, Little L's wife took out an abacus and came to the child. Little L was angry. He would never let his child follow in his footsteps. He picked up the child angrily, After running out, Little L just kept running, and the people behind him were chasing him, but he couldn't catch up."

"Little L ran to a toy store, bought all kinds of toys here, and placed them around his children. He wanted his children to choose, and his children could finally choose freely. However, what is surprising is that , the child actually took out an abacus. Little L frowned and shook his head to indicate that the child couldn't do it. The child took out a calculator again, but Little L still shook his head. There was no other way. The child could only pick it up according to Little L's idea. A toy racing car. Little L was finally happy. He originally didn’t want others to control his life, so he wanted to give his children the right to make their own choices. However, under the influence of his parents and people around him, Little L also changed. He has become the person he hates the most, what’s the difference between what he does now and what his parents did back then?”

"Many times, people will impose their own ideas that they think are good on their children. This is the case for Little L, and the same is true for Little L's parents. They always ignore their children's ideas. They are not wrong, but they are not Understanding what your children really want is to ensure that your children don’t follow in your footsteps, making one wrong step and one wrong step at a time.”

"Look at it this way now? Do you still think humans are relaxed? Do you still think they are free?" Li Teng looked at Xia Shi with dull eyes and asked.

"Can't they change everything? They are so omnipotent." In Xia Shi's impression, human beings are omnipotent. They can live in a house where the wind can't blow or rain, and they can drive and run. A monster with four wheels that can fly fast, wear decent clothes, and have endless food...

"Who doesn't want to change all this? But human beings are instilled with a concept when they are born. They must think within the concept and do things according to the rules of the concept. Over time, you cannot change anyone or anything." Li Teng continued to answer helplessly.

"What happened next? What happened to Little L and his child?" Xia Shi asked.

Li Teng sighed slowly and said, "Later, Little L's children went to the school that Little L asked for and learned what Little L asked for. But what about Little L? He was helpless because of a change in work. He chose a job he didn't like, and now he has compromised with his life. Later, Little L changed a lot and became separated from his former self."

"Then do you think it's a bad thing for Little L now?" Xia Shi asked, looking at Li Teng's dull eyes.

Li Teng's thoughts were brought back to the present. He moved his fingers on the water surface. As the waves spread out on the water surface, he finally spoke slowly:

"I don't know if Little L is happy now, but at least I think he can finally make his own choices, like Little L."

"That's what's free!"
