Reading Log of "The Grass-Eaters"
What impresses me most in the story is the protagonist’s attitude to the life. No matter how much pain he has suffered, he always maintains a positive attitude, keeping his heart full of contentment, satisfaction and gratitude. In my opinion, this is the very thing that we lack most. In today's life, it seems that there are so many things worthy worrying about and we are complaining of this or that all the time, for example, the low wage, the rising prices of goods, the heavy traffic and so on.
Why it happened? The protagonist, who has no food to eat, no clothes to wear and no place to live, thinks that he lives a happy life, while most of us, who don not need to worry about such things, are complaining all the time. I think maybe we want to own more if we already have some, just as the saying goes, ”The more one has, the more one wants”. The problem is that we are not happy. We keep going ahead without stop but only to find that what we try our best to pursue has been lost at the beginning by ourselves. But it is too late, because at this time we would probably find that it is not very far from the end of our life.
