on the way

A father, after learning of his son's bad news, embarked on his son's unfinished road to experience this way of life that he had never despised before, what he saw and heard in the process, and how to get along with his companions, and finally let him see it. a lot.
At the beginning, I felt that my father was very depressed, but I just wanted to go faster and faster. Later, I walked with my three companions and endured what seemed to be a "deviant" behavior until it finally broke out and reconciled with my companions. , The four of them understood more deeply, and my father was relieved a lot during the second half of the journey, trying to accept these people, things and opinions that he had never come into contact with in most of his life. Perhaps he began to take a closer look at the life his son had chosen. After arriving at the Holy Land, they continued their journey to the seaside, where the father threw his son's ashes into the sea, completing the ultimate goal of this trip: to get out of the pain of bereavement.
Don't quite understand the reason for their pilgrimage: quit smoking, lose weight? Very nonsensical. And there are so many pilgrims, with every desire, to the Holy Land. Maybe they don't know the reason themselves. They embarked on this road to find an answer.
What my son said is thought-provoking: You don't choose a life, you live one. What is the difference between the life you choose and the life you live? If you live comfortably, will you be satisfied and think this is the life you choose?
I admire this father very much. I admire these people of faith. They have firm beliefs. They seem to be so pious and principled in their actions. We seem a little incomprehensible because we have nothing to fear.
This road is long and lonely. You can only explore by yourself, but as long as you persist, you can always reach the day when you don't care about the answer.

    There is still the courage to leave everything behind and pack up and go on the road. I wonder if this courage will disappear in a few years? This pilgrimage route in Santiago is really safe, and even a stolen backpack can be returned to Zhao by the thief's father. 【Life is not chosen, it is lived】

The Way quotes

  • Sarah: Well, Jack, maybe a dog fight near a cheese farm is simply a dog fight near a cheese farm.

    Jack: [Excitedly] AH! Okay... That's good. That... is very... good! Maybe I should adopt a more conservative attitude instead of trying to tickle meaning out of every curve in the road. Oh, Christ... I haven't had an original thought in months! Writer's block...

  • Sarah: [while chain smoking another cigarette] The end of the Camino is the end of my addiction.

    Tom: Spoken like a true addict.
