Chapter 26 more permanent value

I have had a purse for twenty years, and every time I tell young people about it, they look at it in disbelief. For today's young people, twenty years is too long, almost nothing lasts for twenty years, even the most precious friendship and love in the world.No one can maintain the longing for life for twenty years. In fact, in our parents' generation, it was not uncommon for a thing to last for twenty years, it was not uncommon to be married for twenty years, it was not uncommon to have friends who had been with each other for twenty years, and it was not uncommon for a piece of clothing to wear twenty years. New Years is also normal... It's a pity that modern society is abnormal, so ordinary things are regarded as strange.

In my closet, there is also a sweater that my father gave me when he was alive. This sweater has been worn for fifty years. What is even more precious is that this sweater was knitted by my mother for my father not long after she got married. Although this world is flashy and short-lived, as long as we are willing to insist on some more permanent values, we will find that there are still many things that get better and better with time. It is a pity that few people are willing to taste the long-lasting mellow taste in life.
