Talk about being needed

People are not only concerned with their own needs, but also often want to be needed by others in order to reflect their own value. Not only... In today's society, the unprecedented abundance of material conditions is enough to meet their own needs, while being needed and recognized by others has become the most urgent spiritual pursuit. This is especially true for today's young people, especially those born after 2000 who come to take the college entrance examination.

But if you think about it the other way around, people's desire to be needed may be driven by a fear of being forgotten and ignored. This is not an idle concern. With the rapid development of science and technology, especially the rapid development of the Internet world, human society is moving forward on the road of atomization. Urbanization keeps people permanently in a fast-paced, high-intensity life, and the consequences are the loss of strong connections between people. The highly specialized division of labor and the unprecedented upsurge of individual consciousness have gradually disintegrated the traditional collective way of life. We often say that the young generation is becoming more and more assertive, but what we don't pay attention to may be the loneliness hidden in the heart of the individual.

When Wang, with her dark skin and poor appearance, appears on the screen, she is not afraid to express herself, and immediately attracts thousands of envious and excited eyes. No other reason, seemingly ordinary she, on behalf of the unremarkable "I". Everyone wants to be the most shining presence on the stage, right? There is nothing wrong with being needed to dispel the gloom of life. As a result, many young people fall in love with being a host and shooting Douyin, and even take risks to get fans' likes and public attention. But the question is, are these really "needed"?But the question is, are these really "needed"?

Notice, be needed, should come from their own true value. While many young people are addicted to live video broadcasts and online games, wasting their precious youth time, a 93-year-old man who has been anonymous for 30 years and never sought fame and fortune has won the attention and respect of Chinese people. More than half a century ago, Huang Xuhua was admitted by the Department of Shipbuilding of Shanghai Jiao Tong University as the top student in his major, and resolutely embarked on the road of pursuing his dream of resisting foreign aggression with "building ships". He has never regretted it. There is no dazzling lights on the stage, no flowers from fans, but he is always "needed" by the country and nation. And is about to step into the ivory tower of their own, whether will forget once ideal?

Being needed is never a one-way relationship. As Schopenhauer said, the development of the human world has always been driven by love. Because love and be loved, so need and be needed. No longer needed, and that's where Nala ends up. Not knowing how to need it is the recipe for Anna Karenina's tragedy.

We may not be able to become more important than Mount Tai in our lifetime, but we are fully capable of making ourselves needed by society and others. Take good care of everyone around you, start from parents and friends. When we walk out of the examination room, we will be greeted by their concerned eyes and bright smiling faces. Believe that this scene will be imprinted on your heart forever, because this is what it feels like to be needed.
