Are the routines really popular?

Text/Little Whale Lin

There is a popular saying on the Internet: The longest and furthest road I have ever walked is your routine.

In our lives, we will always experience many routines that catch you off guard. Occasionally playing tricks among relatives, friends, and couples can regulate emotions very well. But playing tricks is like drinking, "a small drink will make you happy, but a big drink will harm your body"! Some routines look sincere on the surface, but there are hidden plans behind them. For example:

The slogan “Smoking is harmful to health” is written on cigarette boxes.

The advertisements that warn against drinking are all paid for by wineries.

When you are trying on clothes, you will always hear this sentence: This looks great on you! Then when I bought it home, I regretted it.

Someone suddenly gives you a card on the street, saying that you can get skin care products for free, and then you go to wash your face and charge a fee.

A certain store hangs a sign at the door saying "Low Price Clearance Sale, Limited Time Sale". You think you got a big bargain and buy a lot of things to go home, but you find that many of them are useless. But that sign stayed up for several months.

When you go to buy a mobile phone, the store clerk tells you how long the warranty will be. When you actually buy it and need the warranty, a few words float from the sky: It’s all a routine!

I believe many people have encountered the above situations. These may only cause some people to lose a little money, but there are some tricks that can cause them to fall into the abyss accidentally.

When I was in college, I remember one night, I was walking alone on a busy street listening to music, with people coming and going. At this time, someone hurriedly passed in front of me and bumped into me. I gave him a confused look and saw that he was busy talking on the phone and saying sorry to me. I said "It's okay" and wanted to leave. As a result, he stopped me and asked me if I knew how to get to a certain company. I said, I don’t know. I just came here not long ago and I’m not very familiar with it. Why don’t you ask someone else?

According to normal circumstances, he should have left wisely at this time! But no!

He told me that he came from Hong Kong and that the company was their branch. It had just opened and he came here to do some things.

I was dubious, and then he spoke a few words to the person on the phone in a language I didn’t understand. He put down the phone and said to me: "Can you wait here for a while? My friend will be here later." But he doesn’t know the way and may not be able to find me. Can you stay and help guide me?” I looked at him and saw that he looked like a rich man. He hesitated for a moment, thinking about what to do if someone really wanted to help. Besides, there were so many people on the street, so he didn't dare to do anything. After fighting for a while, I agreed.

Then we found a bench to sit on, and he chatted with me all the time. At the beginning, I thought it was pretty good, but as we were chatting, the topic turned to a sensitive topic. on the topic.

He asked me how to use Alipay (Alipay was not yet popular in Hong Kong at that time). I immediately became alert, but I didn't dare to act rashly.

Suddenly, the phone rang and he answered a call. After hanging up the phone, he told me that his company was in trouble and needed cash flow, but he didn't have enough cash with him and his card didn't have enough money. Could you lend him some money? I said I didn’t have that much cash on me, and now we all pay by mobile phone. He went on to ask if he could give him his phone and tell him the password. I immediately refused.

Then he started to play the emotional card. He said, "Don't be afraid that we won't pay you back. You wait for me here for 20 minutes. My friend is at the place. We will come over here as soon as possible." Money for you”. I shook my head, stood up and prepared to leave. He didn't give up: "You are such a good person, why don't you help me with this?" I couldn't stay any longer and walked away immediately. During this period, I was afraid that he would catch up, so I turned around several times and asked Well he just sat there.

On the way back to school, I found that my heartbeat was speeding up.

That night I lay in bed and thought about it. In fact, there were many doubts about the whole process. From the moment he bumped into me, he said hello after saying he didn't know the way, he answered the phone and spoke in a language I didn't understand, maybe he was working with his accomplices to trick me, or it was just a play he directed and acted, and then he started chatting with me. Coming to the sensitive topic of Alipay, the last emotional card is to take advantage of people's kindness. There was no follow-up to the directions I kept talking about.

Thinking about this step by step makes me a little scared. At first, I might have felt that they really wanted help, and I didn’t want to be indifferent like some people in society, so I agreed to stay. When I became aware of it later, I didn't dare to act rashly. If an accomplice showed up, the disparity in our strength would be fatal. But in that situation, I couldn't think too much and could only act step by step according to the situation.

Now that I think about it, I feel lucky, disappointed, and helpless. Fortunately, I was lucky in the beginning.

Some people say: Since ancient times, true love cannot be retained, only routines can win people's hearts. But is the routine really popular? Not necessarily!

In this society full of routines, whether they are small routines or big routines. We should all increase our vigilance and judgment and not trust any strangers. If you are lucky once, you cannot be lucky again.

I suddenly felt that life was really cruel! Why can't this society be more friendly to us? But no matter what, life can’t be lived as usual.

Romain Rolland said: "There is only one kind of heroism in the world, and that is to still love life after seeing the truth of life."

So, no matter what life is like, no matter what No matter what the society is like, may we never forget our original intention, never forget kindness, and be a person who loves life. Less routine, more sincerity!
