Penetrate the essence of life and die with joy

How should people choose their own life? Or what is your real life? Many people live their lives in the eyes of others, and they define and evaluate their lives according to the labels others put on them. A few people are living their own real lives. Because of the beauty of art such as reading and watching movies, they create a world that is more abundant in their hearts than in the distance. In this world, they can fly freely and infinitely. By the time they have had a lifeless life, they have crossed many cycles of life and death in their own world, and their appearance is likely to be that of a hedgehog.

It's a kind of pity, I saw this "The Elegance of the Hedgehog" by chance today. An old and fat female concierge Ha Na, an observant and mature 12-year-old girl Paloma, a wise and elegant Japanese old man Ozu Gelang, these three people have no similar appearance, but have the same soul. So close. A focus on the elegance that is better hidden in the heart, an elegance that wants to escape after deep insight, and an elegance that seeks commonalities through the skin. "It's not how you die or when you die, it's what you do when you die." This sentence struck me, how peacefully her dying thoughts were when Ha Na, who was ready to love, died in the eyes of her lover Elegant and ready to escape from the fish tank, Baloma realizes that "living well can experience a better life and death" because of her understanding of Ha Na, what a profound meaning of life and death! Some people died in the hospital, some died while climbing Mount Everest; some were unhappy and unwilling to die, and some were eager to die because they realized life.

"If there is no pain, what's the point of death?" This sentence has the same meaning as "If you can freeze happiness, what's the point of death?"

    "You are not an ordinary concierge. You have found a good hiding place." Oak trees, cats, chocolates; tea, goldfish, sake; Japanese movies, Russian novels, and Eastern philosophy. The humble hedgehogs returned to their elegant nests. Before the day of death, they still had a secret wish for their friends to meet.

    Pretending to be forced is often a manifestation of low self-esteem. If you are afraid of reality, you have to escape and hide in your own spiritual world. This kind of naked pretense is realistic and hypocritical. .

  • Renée Michel: Happy families are all alike.

    Kakuro Ozu: Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

    [Quoting from Tolstoy's 'Anna Karenina']
