- After watching some movies, I always feel deja vu. It turns out that the core is the same. Naive is foolish optimism, but it is different from optimism that recognizes the truth. Not from the perspective of the story, but only from the core itself, the attraction must be the plight of all human beings in a certain mode of behavior. Kabylia hopes to try to change some immutable order of life by escaping from her hometown and believing in love, but she is always trapped in the net of life, exchanging naivety (stupidity) again and again for the option to change the order of life, the more the result is What is pursued is always lost. If you can realize that the underlying color of life is impermanence, you will stop foolishly seeking meaning and dare to embrace uncertainty, and you will have the opportunity to fight the entropy increase of life and establish a true order in your inner world. It’s a bit like reading commentaries, interviews, and documentaries of your favorite authors constantly, so that you can gradually build your own world by following the pictures. You are no longer trapped in the web of meaning, and you can continue to search for the roots and touch the source. When you have more minds and souls, you can look at the world more objectively in a broader sense~ - but the biggest paradox is still: the more you follow your heart, the more you drift away. There are too many examples. The only thing that can go on is the sense of solidity brought by hard work. It is not the essence or process that defines us, but the final result, experience, labor, creation, and a sense of fullness to connect with others more broadly. "People are happy as long as they do their best, because survival is the greatest resistance to the absurd." - Supplementary notes on "Night of Kabylia" I watched last night
