The feast of life

Việt Văn |

The buffet lunch was crowded with customers, the mother took her son, who was about 14 or 15 years old, to choose dishes. The mother told her son: The expensive dishes are always placed far away, son, while the popular and cheap dishes are always placed close by for customers to easily pick up. Then she showed her son the seafood dishes and told him to choose because these were the most expensive dishes on the buffet table. But the son kept shaking his head and saying that he only liked this dish or that dish, because he was used to eating it.

The mother grumbled and then indulged her child, making a huge plate full of all the delicacies there. The father only took a small portion of each dish, especially the strange dishes he had never eaten before. When the three of them sat down, the father said: So each of us has a different choice. Mom chooses dishes based on price, you choose according to your preferences, and Dad chooses according to taste!

The son asked in confusion: So which one is correct, dad?

The father shook his head: There is no right or wrong here. It is just each person’s choice. And if you choose one, then you choose the other. Many people “have their stomachs full and their eyes hungry” so they take a lot of things and then don’t eat them all, leaving leftovers like the tables in the corner of the room.

In the evening, the eldest daughter just came back from a long trip and heard her father tell her about lunch and laughed: Why does our family like to eat buffet like everyone else! Many people think that buffet - self-service dining means they can comfortably and freely choose the dishes they like, but they don't know that in fact, buffets have a few hundred dishes or less, so the freedom to choose is only within limits!

The father nodded: She is truly my daughter, as the old saying goes "a day's journey, a basketful of knowledge". Just a matter of cuisine becomes a story of choice.

The daughter continued: Like in the old days, the story of a child's hundred-year happiness, parents arranged for the child to sit there, now the majority of young people are free to choose, but everything has two sides. Having many choices does not necessarily mean choosing correctly, it depends on the criteria set and the value system that each person pursues.

The mother interrupted: You are so argumentative, have you decided on a son-in-law for this family? Whoever he is, he must make you happy for me to accept him!
