Goodness Is Too Cheap Now

Hey, it’s him again: back in the 1940s, having just been released from prison, he cursed heaven and earth. He cursed the entire Vu Dai village, yet no one dared cross him. People were terrified of him. He regarded that as a glorious past, which he could chew on during difficult times in life

Time passed. Now, phones and social networks have developed so quickly. He sees the whole nation united in cursing a boy under 18. Not just cursing, but liking, sharing, and calling upon 500 brothers to increase the damage. How satisfying it looks

Goodness is now too easy to find, too cheap. It is right at the fingertips, and can be sent directly to the recipient via Wi-Fi or 3G. Not like in his time: people kept goodness in their pockets, having none to spare to share. If he lived in this era, he would have become a good, kind-hearted man

Just like that, he once ruled the roost during the colonial era: even ten Frenchmen would pull over to the side upon seeing him. Yet now he is afraid: he dares not follow or friend anyone. He is afraid of being exposed, afraid of cyberbullying: his tough heart certainly could not bear it

Now he only follows ‘Ship delicious food Kon Tum’ to see positive things, warming his heart through stormy days. Now that the economy is improving, he hopes Her can cook him some oyster porridge
