The biggest problem is: everyone is talking about love.
But what is love?
Parents say to their children: We love you, do as we say, we can help you avoid detours and achieve success!
What is a "detour"? What is "success" again?
The lover said to the lover: I love you, I want to give you the best, please accept it!
What is the "best"? Is it what he (she) thinks, or what she (he) needs?
There are also various opinion leaders, authorities, and successful people who have extended their generous arms to the world. They said: I love you, follow me! Here is the happiness and security you want!
The most terrible thing is that when you look at the person in the mirror, he (she) will also say in a sincere and undoubted voice:
I love you, you know, in this world, no one loves you more than me, so , Put away those adventurous, maverick, out-of-date, tossing ideas, let us imitate those proven effective methods, whether for reference or plagiarism, in short, follow in the footsteps of others, at least not Will be the first to step on the trap.
Everyone is living a brand new day according to past experience. Everyone is obsessed with his own ideas, and wants to do it to others. Moreover, the more he faces the person he loves, the more his desire becomes. strong.
Neal's suicide was his most extreme choice to defend his dream. When Neal's parents cried bitterly beside their son's corpse, I thought they would realize their cruelty and selfishness. The result was that the school conducted an in-depth investigation at the request of the parents, forcing the children to turn black and white until the keating was driven away. Although at the end of the film, the children stand on the desk in support of the teacher, support their beliefs, and let people see that the seeds of "independent thinking" have sprouted in their hearts, but this can only be done. Neil is dead, and all that is left is to linger in the cage of "tradition". The pressure from the outside and the struggle within the heart have caused youth and enthusiasm to die one after another, leaving only the pale pictures on the wall, silent and silent. interest.
Why does loving someone destroy him? Why can't he put aside his own selfish desires, listen to his dreams, let him walk on his own way, experience, feel, and make his own unique choice? If love is swallowed, how sad this love is!
Can Neil see even a glimmer of hope? Can youth continue with a smile?
We are all ablated and abraded in the package of "love" until we become the "majority" of mankind. sooner or later.
Then, use the same "love" to give to the next generation?
The captain told us: to be the master of life, not the slave of life. In order to integrate into society, we must lose some romance, but still hope that some things can survive in my bones. If a person can't be impulsive in this impulsive age, then in the end there may only be "pitifully happening". Yes, there will always be a gap between reality and ideals. But what? Medicine, law, commerce, and engineering are necessary conditions for survival. But poetry, love, romance, and beauty are the reasons for our existence. Life is short, seize the days.
"I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life! To put to rout all that was not life. And not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."
"I step into the jungle, because I want to live a meaningful life, I want to live deep, absorb all the essence of life, and defeat everything that is not life, lest I find myself at the end of my life. Haven't lived."-The oath of the Death Poetry Club.
