The link above goes to a page of a member of the “Armpit Closure Troupe” — my sister forwarded it to me. There are a few songs on the page:
- My Child: Without Your Love (Gold Bar)
- My Child: Bubble Gum Song
- My Child: Who Stole My Eraser?
Highly recommended. Beyond the laughs, I browsed through their blog a bit, and in a certain sense, I found it admirable. At least this person, from middle school onward, had their own dream and took step after step toward their goal.
Modern people, when freed from material want, naturally develop a hunger for something spiritual. What I’ve seen through my father is a focus on practicality — though I’m not him. Just as I’m not the legendary Du Gongzhengsheng, how would I know he dreams away? But for people of his generation, when food was barely enough, who had time to talk about ideals?
Yet our parents gave us an environment where food and clothing were never an issue — and so we have the extra mental space to explore our dreams, to ask what we truly want. The transition isn’t easy, and parents also can’t provide the inspiration we need, because they don’t fully understand what we feel.
Regardless, whenever I see someone with a purpose — no matter what that calling is — I feel genuinely happy for them.
I hope we all find a life goal worth pursuing.
