Life is Illusory, Like a Dream – Have You Awakened at 30?
Ever since we were young, our minds were filled with strange thoughts, whether real or illusory. We always stubbornly held onto our dreams, simply because we were children, just indulging in fantasies. Childhood filled with dreams is the happiest time.
Later, as we grew up and entered society, either we achieved our childhood dreams or we had even bigger ones. Whether they were realized or not is unimportant; what matters is that we continued to dream, and each dream would become increasingly long. We forgot what was real and simply chased after them. Sometimes we would fall, sometimes we would be hurt. A momentary flash of clarity wouldn't help us understand that everything is endless, and we couldn't find our place.
At twenty or thirty, you might end up in a factory, where you work silently and diligently, accepting whatever comes your way. You might join a large company because of your excellent skills and decent pay, but you still aren't satisfied. You might even succeed in starting your own business and reach the pinnacle of your life, but you'll still feel empty and troubled. Life is like climbing stairs; even knowing it will be exhausting, you still strive to reach the top. Perhaps there's a better view up there!
People say that thirty is the age of maturity, and you must achieve something, working early and late to finally enjoy a comfortable life. But are you really happy? Looking back twenty years, you might feel like it was all a dream, waking up and finding your true self. But one day you'll realize you're back where you started, waiting for the future to arrive. The pursuit of life has no end, but people's thoughts can be elevated, and when you find your original self, you find yourself.
Twenty years is just a dream, thirty years and the dream continues. You're always waking up, but you're always lost in dreams. Remembering the past, you wake up; imagining the future, you fall back into dreams. It's a beautiful dream repeated endlessly, making it hard to distinguish reality!
