Some time ago, the University of Pennsylvania enrolled students for its courses with international characteristics all over China, among which a top student in Olympic Mathematics appeared. When the professor of this university asked the top students the purpose of studying in the interview, his answer was to make money, travel around the world and buy a house. As a result, it is conceivable that the University of Pennsylvania simply rejected the top student.
The world needs me and needs us to contribute our own strength. We are in the society, and we should be responsible for the society while accepting all kinds of services provided by the society every day. A sense of social responsibility is the quality that every mature individuals should have. I think it is precisely because of this that the selfish ghost who has no sense of social responsibility, does not know how to repay others and just wants to make a lot of money and travel around the world after studying will be rejected by the University of Pennsylvania.
The world needs me and each of us. When the companions around us are in pain, sadness, difficulties and blindness, we can sprinkle sunshine on their roads, relieve their pain with sympathetic sesame oil, and give them love, courage and confidence in their disappointed moments; When our society slightly deviates from the track of justice, we should bravely stand up and criticize indifference and praise warmth, so that social progress will always be accompanied by the fragrance of beautiful thoughts.
Maybe you will say: the world is so vast that it doesn't care about the demise of individual life at all. Individual efforts are so weak and insignificant that it is not worth mentioning. Even so, our sense of responsibility for the world is still of great significance to our unremitting efforts to realize the ideal of human society. Looking at home and abroad, we will see people's choices in the Reform Movement of 1898, the Revolution of 1911 and the non-violent and non-cooperative movement, and we will see the choices of Qiu Jin, Tan Sitong and other warm-blooded compatriots in the world. They could have chosen a more comfortable "slave" life and a happier personal life, but they were committed to pursuing democracy. It is this personal sense of responsibility for society and the world that has subtly changed the world we live in, making it move from primitive society to today with splendid civilization.
There is an old saying in China that "it doesn't matter, it hangs high", but the biggest difference between people and animals is that people have thoughts and a sense of responsibility to society. In the long run, it is the sense of social responsibility rather than personal interests that guides a civilization. For example, when the Wenchuan earthquake happened three years ago, we burst into tears, generously donated money or queued up to donate blood, or when the Yushu earthquake happened, people lit butter lamps for the dead, and felt the same way as those who struggled in death and tragedy ... In these seemingly small actions, we pushed the society to the road of civic spiritual growth, and the world we lived in was therefore full of the fragrance of love.
The world needs me and each of us. Even if the individual's strength is insignificant, even if the light between a gesture is like fireflies and beans, the ocean of light should be full of Bai Hong and spring breeze. Therefore, take existence, time and universe as our unit, to love, to suffer and to think, and the world needs me.
