eternity under selfishness

After watching the movie, I read Murakami's prose memoir "What I was thinking when I was running". I didn't fall asleep until I was too sleepy, and didn't get up until 8:41 the next day.
I have been thinking about "Love" just now, and the story is not exhausted.
"Love": Everyone lives in all kinds of lies of different sizes and shapes caused by other people's secrets, selfishness, and desires. Maybe a small lie is just a small selfishness, but after everyone's different reactions to events After the transformation of "selfishness", the lie has gradually become the "self" lie that is dyed with the color and smell of the self. With such a narrow reason, the lie is like a rock in the hands of Sisyphus, which is pushed up but keeps falling. It is constantly repeated and disseminated by some people. Perhaps it is tragic, no matter how big the snowball of mutated deception becomes, as long as one person constitutes the element of tragedy, isn't it irreparable loss and suffering? Life is a huge lie field in which everyone participates, and no one is immune. Only by having faith like the teacher in the play, and only by doubting, believing, and loving like the protagonist, maybe you and I can escape from this field of lies without being overwhelmed and overthrown.
Simon gently held the testimony of his parents' love to his heart, took on a true love and truth, and achieved self-affirmation and completion.

Adoration quotes

  • Morris: [first lines - into video camera] I remember looking out at the two of you, Tom playing on the dock, you watching. I was thinking how lucky you were to have a mom like her. And how lucky she was to have a boy like you. That's what you stole from me Simon. That's what I can never forgive.

  • Simon: [class monologue] Innocence is a hard thing to describe, it's like a scent, a thing which some people carry. And from the moment they found the bomb, the security officials knew my mother had nothing to do with it.
