it is true that there are many things in life that we call "meaningful", but these "meanings" are often based on public approval, personal and subjective. The part that deviates from the "majority" is often ignored or even isolated. However, leaving aside the social nature of human beings, we are an independent existence after all. Recognition of others is always accompanied by more or less compromise, and the act of compromise is based on abandoning part of the self. The lack of self is bound to question people's independence in turn.
We try to look at death in terms of personal gain. If the vital part of life is missing, we make the cowardly and stupid decision to give up the "majority" of life, is it another sense of bravery? Whether it counts or not, we should still have the right to make this choice. And which level of convention, morality, religion, or law does such a right belong to? It will directly affect the society's recognition of it.
Raymond's insistence on death is not a manifestation of our habitual understanding of the world, nor is it self-defeating. From his eyes, words, imagination and design details of various installations, he all reveals a deep love for life. The health that they once had, so taken for granted, was completely gone because of an accident, and they couldn't accept the alienation that they were abruptly abandoned by the beauty of the world. Compared to "need", "needed" is more proof of our existence, isn't it? When there is only "need" in life, please let me use "death" instead. Death is the best proof of being alive.
When we even lose the right to decide whether to have that funny hat on top of our heads; when our lover falls, we can only cry out anxiously and desperately with our backs behind; when we end our lives, we need to rely on others to achieve... There is no "empathy".
We need love, because love is resonance, it will wake us up from the slap of loneliness, it turns out that "here" there are others besides me. Until Hu Liya caused amnesia due to a terminal illness, she deviated from the originally agreed path of love, and finally, even love collapsed and everything returned to the original state...
Until, Raymond can successfully die, and he can finally jump. Out of that window, flew over fields, roads, and flew over hills and jumped into the sea.
The breath that I took in deeply has long been exhaled without knowing it.
