During the National Day holiday, I watched a lot of good movies, including "The Years of Love" that I want to mention. The movie wants to tell us a lot of things, the love between father and son, brotherhood, and of course the love that most movies cannot escape. The father, who was disarmed and returned to the field, carefully educated his three sons: the eldest is rational and sophisticated, never breaking the rules; the second, Brad Pitt, is wild; the third is romantic and naive. The bright line of the film is the narration of the Indian "One Knife", and the dark line is the emotional experience of Susan and her three sons as outsiders.
Father-son love, brotherhood, and lingering love, any of the three major themes is worth writing about 1,800 words, so I won't go into details. What I'm talking about here is something else.
Ancient Greek philosophers came out in great numbers, and one of them once said: "Man, know yourself." Knowing yourself is not a way to improve self-cultivation. But understanding yourself and understanding human feelings are not mathematical formulas and physical theorems. There are too many contradictions and too many uncertain factors. The world is a big dye vat, everyone is influenced by others and affects others. The higher the degree of socialization, the more difficult it is to assert yourself. That's why those who are loyal to their inner voice are so valuable. This is true of "Wild Survival", "Alexander the Great", and "Burning Years". Because none of them succumbed to external pressure, but burned in their own way and created different legends.
And those who speak foul language, wake up. Does it make sense to uncover the tender appearance and satirize the bloody truth? Can anything be changed? Some people are obsessed with the wonderful yesterday, some are eager to change the status quo, some are obsessed, some are eager, some persist, and some destroy. In this messy world, there is no reason to speak, and there is no strict right or wrong. If you want to be strong inside, you naturally need extraordinary patience and responsibility.
I have always thought that civilization is like a virus. Literature, art, music, these wonderful things certainly enrich civilization and give it a splendid coat under the spectrum. But what about the organizational structure under these coats? The expansion of Christian civilization in the Middle Ages wiped out the Norse mythology. People who want to understand that myth can only peek at the two remaining epics, "The Ring of the Nibelung" and "Eda"; the colonists The smallpox and influenza brought by the arrival in the Americas destroyed the Mayan civilization and decimated the Indian population. Every epic expression on the parchment roll comes at the cost of the demise of a great deal of flesh and blood. Expansion and fighting are happening all the time. Even the warm modern civilization and yearning for mainstream culture have made some of my ethnic minority friends no longer familiar with their own language and culture...
The way of life is similar to that of a virus. We ask mothers for milk, from lovers for security and children, from organizations for salary and approval, and from children for comfort... Most science fiction depicts human nature as gross and mean, while aliens with higher civilizations are elegant Wise. Could this be the collective fantasy of science fiction writers?
"Some people can clearly hear the voice of their own soul and live according to this voice. Such people are either crazy or become legends." But Lao Tzu said to us, "The five colors are blinding, the five sounds are deafening, and the five flavors are delicious. It's cool, it's maddening to go wild and hunt." In human nature, if there is "yin", there is "yang", and if there is "hardness", there is also "softness". Too rigid and easy to fold, too soft and easy to lose. Therefore, it is still a combination of hardness and softness, and the harmony between yin and yang is better, and Taoism does not emphasize the realm of "harmony between man and nature".
In fact, I forgot what I wanted to write before, and this topic has gone a thousand miles away. The last BB sentence, I appreciate the souls who are loyal to their hearts and wild, because the price they pay for sticking to themselves is absolutely irresistible. Most people don't have the courage to pay.
