Chapter 1574 On the Way
We always seem to be afraid of what we don’t understand!
Although there are imperfections in modern religions recognized by universal values, they are mostly due to human flaws.
Some people pursue power and money under the guise of religion, but there are also monks shaking prayer buckets and comforting those helpless souls with songs...
Beliefs that are too paranoid are foolish, and can even lead to fanaticism and extreme emotions.
What's more, they do not hesitate to kill to maintain the so-called "greatness", "nobleness", "mystery" and "superpower" of religion.
This is the problem with people!
When that group of people can't find the answer, when they can't find the solution to the problem from the quotations of the sages...
They will use the most drastic means to try to get closer to God, or to become God...
This is pathological and shows the "incompetence" and "ignorance" of that part of the population.
Of course, if politics are involved, the results will be even worse...
This is also the reason why modern theocracy must make way for the law!
But if everyone could look at those who are truly religious with open and free eyes, then beyond the walls of religious ritual you would see a modern miracle!
Seeing that in this rapidly developing and out-of-control world, there is a group of imperfect but honest souls...
Little Ginny didn't understand the reason for the "happiness" of the pregnant woman, and Alvin himself didn't understand it either, because he couldn't have "empathy" at all...
But this does not prevent Alvin from understanding them as "tests that are voluntarily experienced in order to find the God within, or a beautiful vision"...
Using "ignorance" to describe them is a bit too narrow-minded. Who can guarantee that what they see is correct?
Everyone respects each other, just like when we go to a serious halal restaurant, we will consciously not eat pork or drink alcohol...
The pain of life is always there, and everyone has his or her own way of dealing with it. Breaking everything is definitely not the best way.
The idea of letting a hundred flowers bloom corrects itself amidst the development of the times and conflicts of ideas, and is an important process in the progress of civilization.
Of course, this is just the idea of a layman like Alvin. He has only traveled here and does not believe in gods and Buddhas...
There is no need to argue whether it is right or not, after all, no one is perfect...
When my daughter saw it, she stopped for a moment and felt it. It would be best if she could understand something meaningful from it. Even if she didn’t understand it, she could still feel the local customs.
At least in terms of "perseverance", these pilgrims defeated 90% of the people!
Aisopan warmly greeted the pilgrims to stop and invited them to drink a cup of the principal's special butter tea...
Originally, Alvin wanted to chat with them, but it was a pity that the language was really difficult...
It is already very difficult for Aesopan to deal with several curious children by himself, let alone adults like Alvin...
After leaving the road and sitting at the makeshift dining table, the aura of the three pilgrims immediately faded, and they became three ordinary Tibetans.
Seeing them chatting animatedly with Essopan, Alvin hilariously took out the beef and put it on the grill.
While preparing lunch for everyone, I listened to Essopan's piecemeal translation...
Alvin couldn't figure out the specific content, but the relationship between the three pilgrims was clear.
The man and the pregnant woman were a couple, and they embarked on a pilgrimage three months after they confirmed they were pregnant.
The teenage girl is their distant relative...
Her grandmother passed away. In order to fulfill her grandmother's wish and to satisfy her own wish, the girl followed the couple on their journey.
In fact, there were not only three of them, but also a shabby pickup truck behind them...
Not everyone has the conditions and courage to make a pilgrimage!
Some people in their village learned about their idea of pilgrimage and took the initiative to provide them with a broken pickup truck and some belongings as offerings to them.
I hope that when they succeed, they can also bring their own wishes...
Very realistic and practical, this seems to be the real world!
However, the pregnant woman’s pilgrimage made all women feel unusually touched!
"Maybe I can't do much for you, but I can love you as much as I can!
I make my best wishes on my pilgrimage, and hope you live a long life, be safe and healthy! "
This is the most beautiful blessing from a Tibetan mother to her child!
The emotional Pepper and the somewhat ashamed Shirley took out a large number of items as sponsorship for pregnant women.
High-calorie chocolate, high-calorie energy bars, diapers that little Morgan can't use, and messy supplies...
The sleeping Stark was pulled out of the car and helped to repair their smoky truck...
Looking at the broken car that should only appear in the junkyard, Stark said to Alvin in annoyance: "The parts for this thing have been discontinued long ago...
Is Pepper crazy?
A pair of her shoes can be exchanged for a new car for that couple..."
Alvin gave Stark a funny shove and said, "For some people, help that cannot be repaid is a burden!
And I'm not sure what they would do if they were given too expensive a gift?
Let’s not ruin the beauty of it! "
As he spoke, Alvin looked at a man with a purple face who was lying on the car engine worrying. He smiled and pushed Stark and said, "It's your turn. Iron Man can't handle a car from the last century?" truck?"
Stark rolled up his sleeves helplessly and walked to the side of the truck...
With Alvin's dumbfounded expression on his face, he said a few words in Tibetan to the purple-faced man...
Then he sent the man to start the car's engine, and he lay on the front of the car and listened carefully to what was going on...
It wasn't until Alvin smelled the burnt smell on the grill that he came back to his senses from Stark's versatility. This guy actually knew such a strange language. Was he too idle?
After jogging back to save the beef that was about to become charred, Alvin looked at Frank holding his hands and staring at the tearful Shirley. He said a little helplessly: "Brother, is your nose out of order?
This thing is going to be mushy. Do we all have to eat coke at noon? "
After hearing this, Frank looked back at Alvin and said, "I'm worried about Shirley...
She was acting a little too excited!
It would be too bad if you think this is what you need to be a qualified mother!
I admit that her actions surprised me, but that doesn’t mean it’s good…”
Alvin looked at Frank a little funny and said, "If I were you, I would worry about our lunch.
Respecting those pilgrims does not mean we need to be them.
Besides, I have never heard that Shirley has any religious habits...
This girl is the kind of woman who dares to kill in the middle of New York City with gun oil on her face...
Which god dares to accept her? "
As he spoke, Alvin shook his head, cut a little of the roasted beef and handed it to Frank...
Seeing this murderous man staring at his wife, he instinctively stuffed the charred beef into his mouth and chewed it, as if he didn't care about the bitter taste...
Alvin shook his head in annoyance and said: "Brother, it's not good for you to be like this...
Shirley is a normal woman. You can impress her like this for a few days at most, and then she will become bored.
We will encounter many touching things in our life, do we still have to imitate and repeat them one by one?
The more you care about this, the more she will wonder if she really should consider it!
In my opinion, these pilgrims are more like scenery. After passing by, it is enough to leave memories and touches!
Man, I think you need to change your attitude...
‘Good man’ should not be your label, what attracts Shirley is definitely not the ‘sentimental punisher’! "
Frank was stunned for a moment, and then said in a low tone: "I thought the same thing when Nick's mother was pregnant with him..."
Alvin was confused by Frank's "overcorrection" and didn't know what to say...
After hesitating for a long time, Alvin said carefully: "I think you should do your job well when you go back this time, and torture those fucking pricks when you have nothing to do...
Some things are definitely too much!
It is definitely good for you to care about Shirley, but you cannot deviate from your own image in Shirley's heart.
Man, I finally managed to marry myself to a tough guy with a touch of tenderness in his heart...
It would be too bad if you ended up being the ‘loving wife’…”
As he spoke, Alvin patted Frank hard on the back and said with a smile: "I feel awkward looking at you now...
Shirley's purpose in marrying you is definitely not to change you!
Please help me quickly, we have to go on our way in the afternoon!
There are many souvenirs in Lhasa worth purchasing...
Speaking of this, I discovered that I need to buy a lot of things...
Fortunately I am quite rich! "
…………
This chapter is a bit willful. I want to explain my understanding of the so-called faith, which is not limited to the religion in the snow area.
I really don’t know much about the place. I’ve only been there twice during my travels, and I haven’t seen all the local customs and customs. The things I write about it will inevitably have a strange taste in the eyes of some people.
I will try not to discuss or involve too sharp issues in the future. In fact, I have been more careful since entering China, but it is really difficult...
Let’s understand each other!
