The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer

Chapter 1955 - 129: Shame and Guilt

Dong Huiying chuckled, seemingly reminded of something, yet feeling a bit melancholic.

"I mentioned before, the three steps of life."

"In my view, the first step is when a person is at their most youthful and spirited."

"During this time, one is full of vigor and looks down on everything, thinking they are the center of the world, believing they are the protagonist among all living beings, thinking others should revolve around them, believing they are different, special, and should be treated differently."

"In brief, it’s the realization of one’s uniqueness."

"The second step in life is after experiencing the baptism of the world, realizing that they are inadequate, discovering many things are beyond their control, and are things they cannot achieve."

"This is a stage of facing setbacks, gradually discovering that life is not smooth sailing, also gradually realizing that they too have many flaws, discovering that they are just an ordinary person."

"This is the stage of self-examination."

"The third step."

"Everyone has self-esteem, and some people, even upon discovering their mistakes, are unwilling to correct them, so many, upon discovering their flaws, first think of concealing rather than correcting their character deficiencies."

"Many people stumble at this stage."

"As for the third step, it is, after undergoing self-examination, to reaccept oneself, embrace this self filled with the worldly smoke, with many flaws and imperfections, and then maintain calmness after acceptance."

"When life reaches this step, if one can still maintain a sense of peace, it signifies true maturity."

Dong Huiying smiled and looked at Li Luo.

"However, in this world, many people are not mature. Maturity in character is unrelated to age; many still remain immature even if they are seventy or eighty years old."

Li Luo was stunned, carefully savoring the words Dong Huiying spoke, and suddenly a bitterness surged in her heart.

Because she realized, if these three steps were compared to three doors, she has only just stepped into the second one.

She has faced setbacks and understands the world is not as simple and beautiful as she imagined. Everything she has experienced is not grand but certainly not smooth sailing.

But, self-examination?

Examine the flaws in her existence? And change and amend them?

Li Luo slowly clenched her fists.

Dong Huiying patted Li Luo’s shoulder.

"I’m telling you this to let you know. You are still young, your life’s path is still long, and you still have time to make corrections to yourself."

Li Luo was speechless, "But I..."

Dong Huiying chuckled, casually picked up a jacket, and slowly walked out of the yard.

"I sympathize with you, but the relationship between us is too shallow to speak profoundly. What I can remind you of is only this, as for the rest, you just need to face yourself, and you will figure it out."

Dong Huiying left just like that, leaving Li Luo alone sitting under the eaves.

Li Luo opened her mouth as if wanting to argue, wanting to say something, but in the end, she could only watch Dong Huiying leave with wide eyes.

Her mood was very oppressive, and besides oppression, there was also a shame-like feeling.

She felt ashamed and annoyed, but why?

Because everything was exposed, because Dong Huiying struck a nerve, because Dong Huiying saw through her, so she felt embarrassed.
