Chapter 2248: Chronic Disease

Super Jerry is also a chatterbox. He will only shut up if Jerry does what he asks. Otherwise, he will keep talking endlessly, and all of his words are discouraging, full of negative energy.

Rick deliberately designed this to disgust Jerry.

But Jerry was not angry, but calmly did his best every day. In fact, the most important thing is to treat everyone equally and reflect on yourself. There are not many other things. For work, he tries his best to do it well. He helps the elderly on the road, does what he can, and spreads positive energy.

Jerry is happy every day. In his spare time, he does housework and cooking, helps his wife relieve some pressure, or cares about the children and talks about life with them.

Although the children do not accept it, after all, Xia Mo is sixteen years old and Morty is fourteen years old. They are both at an age where they are not willing to talk to their parents about their worries. In particular, Jerry is very unpromising in their eyes, and they don’t think their father is capable of helping them solve problems.

Jerry's changes are visible to the naked eye. Beth's heart is very complicated. She wants Jerry to change but she doesn't want him to change. She has mixed feelings.

Beth doesn't know what she wants. In fact, the problem is not with Jerry, but with herself. She has reached menopause and is confused.

With no progress in her career and many family problems, Beth doesn't know what she will do in the future? As a veterinarian who treats horses, she is not young anymore. Her physical strength is getting worse and worse. She will have fewer opportunities to go to the operating table in the future. The medical profession itself is more popular for male doctors, even veterinarians.

It can only be said that Beth's career positioning was wrong at the beginning. Her understanding of life was wrong from the beginning when she wanted to be a doctor. After all, the most important criterion for doctors, especially doctors on the operating table, is physical fitness. Complex operations take several hours, and female doctors don't have such good physical strength.

Beth now almost realizes that her career choice is wrong. She is now 34 years old. Sometimes when she performs surgery on horses, she is willing but unable, and needs other doctors to take over. As her physical strength was getting worse, she naturally felt a strong sense of crisis, but she was stubborn and didn't want to admit her mistakes, so she could only vent her anger on her husband.

As a middle-aged person, as the pillar of the family, the pressure was indeed great. In fact, Beth was still very happy because her husband was more considerate and caring about her, but the setbacks in her career still made it difficult for her to be happy.

Beth knew very well that she seemed to be a successful career woman, but in fact her career had reached a critical moment. It was estimated that she would have to open a pet hospital in the future to sterilize cats and dogs for a living, and the heart knowledge she learned would be useless. If she had to stay in the hospital, she would only be an assistant in the future and watch others perform the main operation.

Time was a ruthless knife that knocked down Beth's pride.

So Beth also wanted to escape, and she also liked to go on adventures with her father, because when she was adventuring, she felt like she was still a girl.

The pressure of career had nowhere to vent, which eventually affected the relationship. Fortunately, Jerry accepted Beth's complaints generously. And he is willing to learn and improve with Beth. They are now facing a career transformation, and they can accept it with a smile. At the age of 34, they have raised two children. In fact, they are doing well.

Not so good, Rick found that Jerry really did what he said, and even dragged his daughter to face reality together, which is not good news.

Why face reality? If Rick faces reality, he will definitely be crushed by the messy reality. It seems that he can only live by drinking and taking risks. Facing reality is definitely not facing reality.

In Rick's opinion, Jerry is doing useless work. Will Jerry's focus on community activities help their future? There is no meaning, everything is meaningless. Time will still make people old, their work will still have no results, and eventually everyone will be eliminated by society. This is reality. Everyone will become a burden, this is the unchanging truth of the universe. So enjoying life in time is the purpose of life.

Seeing that Super Jerry can't cure Jerry, but proves that he has really changed, and has nothing to gain except proving that Jerry is no longer an ordinary loser, Rick also began to worry.

"You can't deny that Jerry's change has made this family more harmonious, and Beth has gradually realized the source of her anxiety." Duran appeared again. He always showed his presence from time to time. Although the universe has a lot of things to do, Rick, as the main target, still needs attention.

"You again? I even doubt whether you are an illusion in my mind?" Faced with Duran's elusiveness, Rick began to doubt whether Duran really existed.

"It doesn't matter what I am. What matters is what you see. Jerry is making everything better through hard work."

"Ridiculous efforts. With just a little change, everything will return to normal. The universe is like an endless avalanche. When you think things are going in a good direction, you will soon be buried by the avalanche."

"You are too negative. You should have noticed that Jerry and Beth have begun to shift their focus to their children's education. Although it is a little late, it is not too late. Avalanches can bury a generation, but people are passed down from generation to generation. There will always be a generation of people who will stand in a place where avalanches cannot reach."

"Haha, you don't know how cruel fate is." Rick said that his life proved that avalanches are irreversible.

"Of course I know that you deny everyone's efforts just because of your personal tragedy." Duran said.

Rick fought back: "Don't the so-called hard workers get happiness and satisfaction from tragedy? Great people are the protagonists of tragedy, while mediocre people get satisfaction from tragedy and thus get the meaning of life."

"You are playing opposition again. Heroes are made from mortals. Before they become the protagonists of tragedy, they are just mortals. Mortals can learn lessons from reading tragedies and accumulate for their extraordinaryness." Duran said that Rick's binary opposition thinking is really stubborn.

Duran does not engage in binary opposition. Everything in the world is not independent. You are in me and I am in you. Heroes and mortals can also transform into each other. Unfortunately, Rick's education does not have such guidance. In his view, heroes are heroes, and mortals are mortals. Mortals are just vampires who absorb the essence of heroes and get pleasure from the tragedy of heroes. But in Duran's view, heroes and mortals are not opposites. Mortals watch the tragedy of heroes in order to prepare to become heroes. When the world needs heroes, mortals will stand up. What they get is not happiness but a responsibility.

With completely different ideologies, Rick and Duran are talking at cross purposes.

"You always have to find some meaning in life. People like you have no fun!" Rick didn't want to argue anymore, and ended by saying that Duran was boring, because he knew that neither of them could convince the other, and they were destined to be two parallel lines that would never cross. But Rick believed that he was right, because the mainstream of the universe was like this. He had a backer, but Duran didn't.

So Duran is building his own ideological backer, and the dog civilization, the lost planet, and the battle royale civilization are all practitioners.
