Many people have a pet complex, especially introverts or only children. People need to be accompanied, need to know, and need to listen. Perhaps, pets can more or less fill the gap. Therefore, people and pets have established deep emotions.
I still remember that my son’s pet complex started with goldfish. In order to make my son happy, I bought two big-eyed goldfish, one red and one black, which were very beautiful. Because goldfish are not easy to keep, those two The little thing quickly floated on the water.
The son cried and asked for the little goldfish, so in the following days, he could only change the fish again and again.
If you buy back a goldfish just for fun the first time, then the next few times will be to maintain your love for the goldfish. After sudden loss, only finding it again will alleviate the feeling of loss. , continued the previous love until I no longer liked goldfish.
A small example, but it is worthy of each of us to think about whether you have found the lost self over and over again.
I don’t know if it’s because my son has drifted away from another relationship, or because the goldfish can no longer meet the requirements of being his partner. After several twists and turns, the turtle replaced the goldfish as my son’s pet. I vaguely remember that the turtle just When he broke into his son's world, his son had to sleep with the turtle every day. When he opened his eyes, he would see the turtle.
But God didn’t follow people’s wishes, and the turtle left us even though we were raising it. At that time, my son was still rolling around in primary school. He couldn’t accept the fact that the turtle was dead. He wouldn’t let me take the turtle away. He threw it away and kept saying that the turtle was joking with him and pretending to be asleep! Soon the turtle will wake up.
I had no choice but to make up a lie and say, let’s put the turtle back into the wild! There were many of its little friends there, and it must be happier than at our house. My son was crying and hesitated for a long time before reluctantly agreeing to me. Later, his father really put the turtle into the canal, and the turtle returned to nature. dream.
Later, my son fell into the turtle complex and repeated the story of the goldfish, one after another. However, after three or four turtles left us alternately, my son only wanted the first turtle. , shed tears, and had the deepest emotion for the first turtle.
Finally, after several turtles died, my son never mentioned buying turtles again. It seemed that he had grown up, no longer needed playmates, and no longer liked pets.
As my son grows up, he spends more and more time studying and less and less time at home. Occasionally on Sundays, he is unwilling to go out, let alone go anywhere with me. He has become a complete The otaku.
Until the first day of the Lunar New Year last year, in order to find a way to get my son to go out for a walk and enjoy the New Year, I offered that if you accompany me out, I will give you a little rabbit. My son was moved! That was his favorite animal, and I never allowed him to buy it.
In this way, my son reluctantly followed me out of the house. We walked and stopped all the way to the Confucian Temple and the place where rabbits were sold. We chose a rabbit with black ears. The moment he got the rabbit, his son really laughed.
At that time, we just thought that the rabbit would be like the goldfish and tortoise in front of us. It would not be long before he left us, because rabbits are also delicate things. If you want to feed them, the chance is very small. Unexpectedly , that rabbit is really destined to us, it seems that it came to life without any effort on our part.
And it’s getting more and more fun, lively and cute. Playing with this person and running after that person every day is not only my son’s favorite, but I also deeply like it. A cute little rabbit, let the little rabbit do its destructive behavior.
But his father is extremely disgusted with the rabbits we like, so there are constant conflicts in the family. He doesn’t understand the joy and emotion, so naturally he can’t stand our liking. It is understandable that for the sake of family harmony, my son and I discussed and decided to reluctantly give away the little rabbit that I had raised for more than half a year.
At that time, I was afraid that I would regret it and make noise at home again, so I deliberately gave the bunny to a stranger. When the other party said that he wanted to leave his contact information, I flatly refused, because I just didn’t want to give it to him. I have no chance to regret it. The family needs harmony and warmth. This is what I was thinking at the time.
I thought that by sending away the little rabbit, peace would be restored in the family! But I never expected that as soon as the man took away the little rabbit and disappeared from my eyes, I regretted it and returned home feeling depressed all the way.
As soon as I entered the house, my son asked me how the family who gave the bunny was doing was doing, and whether the bunny would be wronged.
For half a day, the little rabbit was missing from the house. It seemed that there was no vitality. Even the air in the empty room was depressing, which made me feel so uncomfortable.
At the same time, I also felt that my son was as sad as me. Just when I was going to bed at night, my son cried and said to me, Mom, can we buy another little rabbit? How long has it been? I saw my son crying! When was the last time your son cried? I can no longer remember clearly.
I fully understand my son’s mood at this moment. Even if I dote on my son too much, I allowed him and told him that you can sleep peacefully and I will buy it when I have time in two days. Son He said, no, you can go tomorrow! I agreed! Then, the son went back to his room.
The next day, I chose the second rabbit without telling him. In the evening, he went home and saw that there was another little rabbit in the house. He was furious, and then we had a big fight.
When my son came back at night, I still greeted him with a nonchalant attitude. When my son saw the little rabbit, my previous disappointment was relieved, and I was happy to see my son become active again.
It is a pity that the second rabbit only had a relationship with us for a few days. It came and left in a hurry. At the repeated request of my son, we brought back the third rabbit and took care of it with fear. Despite looking after her, she still hasn’t escaped the nightmare of separation.
My son is disheartened about raising rabbits, so am I! I am afraid that such a little life will be ruined in my own hands, but because of the little rabbit, my family has become accustomed to the company of pets. This lack of emotion will take time to heal.
Just by chance, a new member was welcomed into the family, a dog named Shuaishuai. The arrival of Shuaishuai rekindled the warmth in the family, and the three of us fell in love with him at the same time. Got it. This unique love brings more laughter, warmth and topics of communication in the family. I hope that the fate of goldfish, tortoise and little rabbit will not be repeated again. I am really afraid of that kind of sudden departure. Disappear, and it will no longer be possible to continue this life.
I have always felt that a person's heart is very small and can only be attached to one thing or person at a time. That persistent love will reject everything that tries to get closer to one's heart. When there is already hot joy or love in your heart, other things or people can only circle around the periphery of your heart. If you want to break through the wall in your heart, unless you have absolute temptation and can defeat the main force inside the wall. This is so difficult, unless it is the heart, there is already an empty city left, it seems prosperous, but in fact, the scenery in the city has withered, but I am still struggling in my obsession. Someone once said that if you are heartbroken by some loss, only greater happiness can heal the previous pain. Otherwise, there is no cure. I shudder when I hear this. Perhaps, your words have a broader interpretation, because when you are troubled by the departure of a thing, a pet, or even a person, you don’t necessarily have to find happiness on the original basis! One thing is for sure, to soothe the pain after loss, only with greater happiness and a relieved mind can the pain be alleviated, and this happiness is another spiritual sustenance for oneself, another goal to strive for.
