World-weariness is not a word that has just emerged in the past few years * 1. Here, I would like to briefly discuss the popular definition:

Low wages cause young people to lose their lives under economic pressure, live a life chased by money and become generation-weary, unable to see their own future, and even fall into the poor class and can no longer move upward. | | key comments, generation-weary special report |

Long before the word "world-weariness" occupied our mobile phone screens and had a late-night conversation with sour and bitter workplace rookies, its momentum was already on the table of reading tables lit by three shifts, such as overworked cells, mutating day and night, mutating again, waiting for an opportunity, and eventually becoming a cancer that made people change. If Zhang ailing's so-called life is a gorgeous robe covered with fleas, then we, who are tired of generations, are illegally thrown into a smelly ditch in our budding years, like cigarette butts.

When society is world-weary, the hourglass of light begins to focus on youth, piling dust on the back of the newborn calf. For the first time, we were pushed to the stage where we were able to complain harshly against the world, and the "plaintiffs" crossed the boundary of reality and the virtual world like swords. Since the Beginning of Spring, the war has spread frequently for three months in different discussion areas; on IG, we have marked # world-weary face humorously, or even packaged it as traffic and business opportunities.

If poverty is the culprit, where should we catch it? Do you look for numbers like Daoshan oil pot?

Insensitive national GDP, frozen wages, soaring prices, high vacancy rates compared to astronomical down payments, stealthily rising rents, payroll with no extra money for overtime, student loans that are in debt immediately after graduation, and so on.

To solve the above problems, under the invisible architecture (Invisible Structures*4) of Capitalism 2 and Globalization 3, the solution agreed by the public may be: economic development, that is, making money! Money making! Money making! Paradoxically, however, "globalization" in an M-shaped society-the poorer the poor, the richer the rich-tends to add fuel to the fire, and I suspect that you are not the lucky man chosen by heaven-the newly rich.

You should stop thinking that as long as you grit your teeth and bear it, the good days will come back, and you may have been reduced from middle class to "low society" without knowing it. | | Kenichi Ohmae

Napalm (Can't beat the Feeling), from: In the darkest hour there may be light, 2006 / Published by The Serpentine Gallery and Other Criteria

Under consumerism, which is conducive to capital accumulation, people try to throw more things bought with money into the emptiness of their hearts, which is as frightening as the fighter planes that threw petrol bombs on Vietnamese villages during the Vietnam War. You ask, isn't this human nature? Yes and no, because we can't see the invisible hands after all. Who trapped you under the Wuzhishan of society, and where is the Tang monk?

We can be world-weary, we must be world-weary.

Get angry! Anger is part of the fight. You must learn to control it. | | Movie Whale Knight |

In addition to anger, learn to understand "why you hate the world". If you still have no solution, look inside and think about what we can change; do not underestimate the power of a penny, because in a generation-weary generation, it is "the most powerful vote".

Postscript

Some friends reported to me that the information of the article was too complicated to digest. The author is deeply sorry here, because my logic is a little poor, daily conversation with people is often jumping, and very greedy, so I make a supplementary explanation (laughter).

First of all, the word "why" has two meanings: one is to explore what is world-weariness, and the other is to analyze why. I hope that through my naked explanation of the above two points, readers will be able to get a close understanding of my subjective views on this society, and at the same time indirectly explain why I have embarked on the path of farmers from the children of higher education.

Finally, I believe that some readers of this article must think that my point of view is very wrong, but it doesn't matter:) I respect the difference between you and me, because everyone has a different definition of happiness or success. I hope you can share your views with me.

About [Qingnong: stop being world-weary]

I'm 23 years old. I decided to farm in a friendly way and bend over to live.

Since dropping out of school in 2015, I have begun a journey to escape from Taiwan and myself again and again; in the process, it is as cliche as countless backpacker online celebrities: "I have found my favorite lifestyle and beliefs." Because of the stubbornness of caring for the land and life, I was pained and weary of the world. However, in 2017, I went to Southeast Asia to communicate and live with many 25-year-old young farmers (series articles) when I went to Southeast Asia and lived with many young farmers of the average age of 25. "it is precisely because I am young that it is more worthwhile to step on the dirt under my feet and nourish all things," and the idea of taking root was born.

I am world-weary because I still look forward to the world, while farming is the way I press a pause for the state of world-weariness, and it is also my ability to find a frank answer to "what is man born for?"

Here, I will record from the road to agriculture, perhaps twists and turns, but the beginning is always a good thing.
