“The school has money to build the Anna Hall, but no money to repair the dormitories?”
That teenager, repeatedly obstructed, also wants to raise his arms and shout the truth.
Such courage is admirable.
He is the child in “The Emperor’s New Clothes” who exposed the elephant in the room.
But in fact, speaking the truth requires not only courage, but also keen insight and a realistic concern for others.
Connecting the Anna Hall with the conditions of the student dormitories and seeing the absurdity in it is impossible without keen insight.
And if there is no realistic concern for others, this child would not have stood up and revealed the contradiction.
Insight, realistic concern, fearless courage, and fluent and logical expression are the good qualities and abilities that a student with a sound personality should have.
However, what is strange is that the staff of the Education Bureau said that they would conduct a psychological evaluation of the student afterwards.
And, they really did psychological counseling.
Giving psychological counseling to such a normal, even excellent child, I don’t know who has a psychological problem.
Even in the absurd “Emperor’s New Clothes”, after the child said “But he is wearing no clothes at all”, from the child’s father to the onlookers on the street, and even the emperor himself, no one thought the child had a psychological problem and needed psychological counseling.
In terms of absurdity, fairy tales are still no match for reality.
Speaking the truth is a crime, it means having psychological problems, it means being sick. Turning a lone hero into a patient is a trick that the strong have repeatedly used.
To make a person who dares to speak the truth stink and be dirty, just say he is sick.
The reason why they are so unscrupulous is because they know they can be so unscrupulous.
At the scene, when the child raised his arms and shouted for the students, when he was interrupted and taken away by the school staff, the students in the audience did not respond, did not support, and did not stop.
It seems that the rights that the child was trying to fight for have nothing to do with them.
He is a true lone hero, a lone hero who makes people feel sorry for.
The child’s experience, although it only happened on campus, is like a parable of the real world:
If you dare to speak the truth, you will not only be suppressed by the strong, but also be discredited, and you will not even get the sympathy of your peers.
This world does not welcome children who speak the truth, but only likes adults with high emotional intelligence.
As the saying goes, the biggest tragedy in society is not the arrogance of the bad guys, but the silence of the good guys.
However, doesn’t the arrogance of the bad guys come from the silence of the good guys?
I would like to use this article to support the child who raised his arms and shouted and dared to speak the truth.
Also encourage the self who is willing to keep speaking out.
