In the first comic, there are many people, each carrying a heavy cross, slowly and laboriously moving towards their destination.
Along the way, one person suddenly stopped. He thought to himself: this cross is really too heavy, how long will it take to carry it like this?!
So, he made a surprising decision: he decided to chop off a piece of the cross.
I chop and chop
After chopping it off, he indeed felt much lighter, and his pace unconsciously quickened.
So, he kept walking and walking and walking for a very long time. He thought again: although he had chopped off a piece of the cross, it was still too heavy.
Oh God, please let me chop off another piece, I promise I can walk better!
He chopped and chopped again.
As a result, he suddenly felt much lighter!
Thus, he effortlessly walked to the front of the line. Everyone saw: while others were struggling under their burdens, he was walking and humming a tune easily!
As he walked, unexpectedly, a deep and wide chasm suddenly appeared ahead! There was no bridge over the chasm, and there were no paths around it. At that moment, there was no Spider-Man or Superman to rescue him.
What should he do?!
The people behind him gradually caught up. They used the crosses they were carrying to build a bridge over the chasm, crossing it calmly.
He wanted to do the same. Unfortunately, his cross had already been chopped down significantly, and he could not make a bridge to help him cross the chasm!
So, while others continued to move towards their goal, he could only stand still, dejected and regretting. At that moment, a thought echoed in his mind:
Once, there was a complete cross on my shoulders, and I did not cherish it properly. Only when I needed it did I regret it. The greatest pain in the world is nothing but this!
In fact, each of us carries various crosses every day, moving forward through difficulties. It may be our studies, our work, or the responsibilities and obligations we must bear.
However, it is also these responsibilities and obligations that constitute our reason and value for existing in this world. So, please do not complain about the heaviness of studying or the toil of work, because true happiness is the result after challenges. Without experiencing profound pain, we cannot appreciate the joy of fulfillment!
We all have our crosses to bear.
Each of us carries our own cross. Indeed, everyone in the comic carries their own cross, and when the chasm appears, they use the crosses they bear to help themselves cross it and continue moving forward. Therefore, we say:
Some darkness can only be traversed alone; some pain can only be experienced alone; some loneliness can only be tasted alone. However, through the darkness, we will surely feel the warmth of the sun; emerging from pain, we will surely reach the heights of growth; bidding farewell to loneliness, we will surely gain the depth of the soul!
