Chapter 65 Section 3 Childhood

There is a kind of profound cultivation in Taoism, which is called practicing inner alchemy and cultivating Yuanying.The so-called yin and yang emotions are condensed into a boy.According to legend, those who have cultivated to this level can become real people, and can fly to God through the clouds.Such a mysterious cultivation is beyond what I can see, nor can I describe.However, it is not impossible to seek far away when the Tao is near, and to seek difficulties when things are easy. There is no need to practice, everyone already has a child in his heart.This child stays in our hearts quietly and helplessly, waiting to be loved, to be pampered, to be gently stroked, to be whispered before going to bed.He does not grow with our age.Even if you are a 180-year-old old man or old woman, this child is still too young, he is independent of time, he is Peter Pan who will not grow up.This child treasures our mysterious childhood.He is the source of soul and emotion, unpolluted and undamaged.Because of him, we know how to love and be loved, because of him, we choose to love and be loved.

We can always feel the presence of this child.Many of our actions also indicate the existence of this child.No matter how vicious and difficult people are, maybe all they really need is a hug and a word: "Be good, don't be afraid, I will take you home." He escapes and denies his inner child by doing bad things, hoping Can be punished like childhood, for children, punishment and love are connected.As the saying goes, poor people must have something to hate.This sentence is also true in reverse: hateful people must have pity. Sun Wukong is a special case, he has no childhood.He was already an adult male monkey when he jumped out from the crevice of the rock.In his heart, there has never been a cute little monkey.Therefore, he is destined to be a monkey with only defects, and he has no love.He can't love either.On this point, Wu Chengen's description is profound and accurate.

Ying Zheng is already sixteen years old. Compared with his peers, he is obviously much precocious.The sinister environment forced him to grow rapidly.He has left his childhood behind.However, he couldn't get rid of the child in his heart, and he couldn't erase it in his life. What kind of child is that?He was abandoned by his father shortly after he was born, and lived with his poor mother, wandering the streets of Handan like a beggar, with shabby clothes, starvation, bullied but powerless to retaliate, no hope, no dream.When he was nine years old, he returned to Xianyang and returned to his father, but he still could not feel his father's love. He was not his father's only son, and his father was busy with political affairs and sexual affairs, so it was rare to get together with him. When he was thirteen years old, As a strange man, his father left him forever.Not only that, after arriving in Xianyang, he even lost his only maternal love.The mother is also obsessed with palace jewelry and bedtime, and will never treat him as her only treasure in this world as she did back then. When he was wronged, she wiped away his tears with her warm and slender fingers; When he was sleepy, I held him in my arms, sang nice songs, and coaxed him to sleep slowly.

Although the child in Yingzheng was still yearning for love hungrily and hopelessly, he had made himself cold and strong.He occupies more and more of the world, but also receives less and less love.A broken sky can still be repaired, but a wounded heart can never be restored.Ying Zheng went from lacking love, to resisting love, to denying the existence of love in the world.
