A while ago, my family visited two young students from Mita.I happened to be unwell and sleeping at the time.After declaring that I could only have a short conversation with you, I got up from the bed, put on a padded jacket, and met them.The etiquette of the two students was very thoughtful, and they also briefly ended the important conversation and then went home immediately. The main point of their conversation was to ask me to write an essay in this newspaper.Although from my point of view, both of them are good-natured teenagers under the age of sixteen or seventeen, but they should be over twenty.Recently, I seem to be getting more and more inaccurate in guessing people's ages.Fifteen-year-olds and thirty-year-olds, forty-year-olds, and fifty-year-olds, all angry at the same things, laughing at the same things, just as cunning, just as cowardly Despicable, indeed, just looking at people's psychology, the age difference will become more and more confusing, making people uncertain, and finally they just don't bother to care about it.Even the two students a few days ago, although they looked like they were sixteen or seventeen years old, there was a bit of bargaining in their speech, and they were very mature in some respects.Strictly speaking, they were in a league of their own as newspaper editors.After the two of them went back, I took off the plug-in and got back into the quilt just like that. After thinking about it for a while, I felt more and more pitiful for the situation of the current students.

The so-called students do not belong to any part of society, and I think they cannot belong to any part.I'm a man who obsessively believes that the so-called student must be Childe Harold in the blue cape.Students are walkers of thought.It's a cloud in the blue sky.It is not possible to become an editor.You cannot become an official.You can't even become a scholar.It is a terrible degradation for a student to become an old social person.I don't think it's the students' own fault.Someone must be instigating them.That's why I say they are poor. So what should the original appearance of the students be like?Let me tell you a narrative poem by Schiller as the answer to this question.We must read more of Schiller's poems.

In today's current situation, it is even more necessary to read and read.For the sake of strong will, and for the sake of maintaining clear and noble hopes, you should now think of Schiller and love it.In Schiller's poem, there is a very interesting "distribution of the earth", which is roughly as follows. "Accept this world!" Zeus, the father of God, shouted loudly to mankind from the sky. "Accept it, it belongs to you. I will give it to you as my inheritance, as an eternal territory. Come on, let's share it in harmony." Hearing this voice, everyone was scrambling for a while Afterwards, everyone who had hands ran around to snatch their own shares.When the peasants planted the wood stakes in the field and cultivated them into fields, the landlord appeared with his hands crossed and shouted. "The 70% will belong to me." In addition, the merchants filled the warehouse with goods, the elders searched for precious wine everywhere, and the noble children quickly stretched the rope around the green forest, using it as a place for their pleasant hunting and tryst. place.The mayor plunders the streets, and the fisherman settles by the water.After all the divisions had already been settled, the poet came slowly.He came from far away.Ah, by this time there is nothing everywhere, and every piece of land is stamped with the name of its owner. "Oh, you are so ruthless! Why do you ignore me alone. I am your most loyal child?" The poet protested loudly, throwing himself down in front of Zeus's throne. "Blame yourself for dawdling in the Land of Dreams," God cut him off. "You have nothing against me. Where were you when the earth was distributed?" the poet replied. "I am beside you. My eyes are focused on your face, and my ears are enchanted by the music of heaven. Forgive my heart. Forgive it for being so enchanted by your light that it forgets the earth." At this time Zeus said softly. "Then what should I do? The earth has been given to everyone. Autumn, hunting, and the market are no longer mine. If you want to be in the sky and be with me, come here. This place will always be empty for you!"

how is it.The original appearance of the student is undoubtedly the darling of the god, the poet.Even if he has nothing to boast about in his earthly work, the noble vision of freedom is often enough to live with God. Please be conscious of this privilege.Please be proud of this privilege.It's not a privilege you can have all the time.Ah, that is really a short period of time, so please cherish this period even more and never allow yourself to be defiled.The cession of the earth, after school, you have to accept it even if you don't want it.You can be a businessman.Can be an editor.It is also possible to become an officer.It's just that the opportunity to sit side by side with God on the throne of God will never be available after student days.This is something that no one can undo.

Mita's students, you gentlemen.When you sing the praises of the "King of the Land" on weekdays, you must secretly call yourself the "King of the Heart".There is only one time in your life when you are with God. -Finish-
