We don't have the help of the three great gods. All we can do is examine-act-examine again-act again.

Regarding being respected after death, I
once saw a story in a story meeting, a rich man who did no evil, used a portion of his property to buy a lot of people for his funeral and help him speak good words, which attracted the attention of the media. After an interview, I found out that the place was originally. There is such a great good person, so the publicity and reports about his good deeds continue. The poor local people who have been squeezed by him are miserable, but the faint voice has no effect on the overall situation.
The story told by the Christmas carol is that a rich man was probated before he died, and used the last day of his life to do a lot of good things for the people, and then he was respected. There is a theorem in psychology that if a bad person suddenly becomes better, people will love him abnormally. On the contrary, if a person who has lived a long life suddenly has evil deeds, people hate him abnormally.


Regarding destiny,
each of us has our own innate destiny. The character written in our genes and the unselectable childhood environment more or less determine the trajectory of our life, which is reflected in the guidance of our thinking mode, outlook on life, and outlook on the world. The protagonist in the film was very poor when he was young. At that time he worked hard and was happy. After acquiring the property of the boss, the stingy genes in his body began to express crazily. In order to protect his property and make himself richer, he had no friends, no wife, no feeling of being respected. Everything about him is paranoid and extreme, and he sees nothing but money. Human behavior began to degenerate into a primitive collection behavior, just like a small squirrel in the forest, it collects a lot of pine cones for overwintering, and it also scatters the pine cones into several tree holes. In the end, it only remembers one tree. The fruit of the hole, the other fruits are all wasted. If the pine cone resources are abundant in the forest, there is nothing serious about it. If the pine cones are in short supply, other animals will starve to death in the winter because their collecting ability is not as good as squirrels. In fact, each squirrel does not need many pine cones, but they have no sense of security, so they desperately collect pine cones, resulting in a waste of pine cone resources. The same is true for people. A person does not need much money, but people always worry about tomorrow, the tomorrow that cannot be reached, so they will desperately make money, sacrifice all happiness, and make money. Of course, this has something to do with his childhood experience. When a person was hungry and poor at a young age, his desire for these materials would swell indefinitely without reason, to satisfy the gap in his childhood that was blank in his heart.

About the change
I think the undo function of the computer is the same as the eraser function, which is extremely great, because it allows people to correct their mistakes in time after discovering them, without revealing our weaknesses.
A person can discover his own mistakes and correct them in time. This spirit is extremely great, especially when it comes to one's own face and dignity, to let go of oneself, in order to maintain the integrity of the truth in the heart.
The protagonist in the movie is extremely lucky, because the three elves gave him the last day to fix his mistakes, so he put down his butcher knife and became a Buddha, avoiding the shackles and torture of his friends. And most people, throughout their lives, may not be prompted by the three great gods of the past, present, and future. If you can visualize the consequences of a certain behavior, I don't think many people will still be stubborn about their wrong ideas. However, ordinary people can only wake up from making mistakes or continue to lose. We are not gods, nor do we receive God's help. We are just ordinary human beings. We need to constantly correct ourselves under the reminders of the ancients. We also need to bravely practice our uncertain consequences in order to gain experience.
