Refuse Arranged Life

My first reading of "Robinson Crusoe" was in my childhood. Now as a sophomore ['sɒfəmɔː(r)], I pick up this book again. Compared with the past, this book gives me a lot of different feelings. When I picked up this book again, I carefully read his father's heartfelt words: As the middle class, we suffered the least disasters, unlike the upper class and the lower class who have experienced the vicissitudes of life, in this world business man can spend this life quietly and steadily. But why does Robinson give up the easy life at home and choose to go sailing? I was lost in thought. Why should a child from an ordinary family give up the school close to home and the future arranged by their parents, and choose to start a new in a strange city? We have a guess in a special aspect of psychology. When looking at the lively circle of friends, we sometimes feel frustrated. In retrospect ['retrəspekt], it seems that we only go out for dinner with roommates or friends every few weeks, and we always have so few close friends in daily contact. In contrast, other students seem to be participating in different activities and hanging out with different people. Sometimes, we may feel that others have a diverse [daɪ'vɜːs] social life, while our own lives are boring. In fact, psychologists have found that most people think that other people’s social lives are richer and more active than their own. This is a widespread social bias. Robinson might just yearn for another life with adventure.
