Always read some books

A person will go through the process of going from freedom to unfreedom to freedom in one's life. When he was a child he was carefree, but he completely relied on the care of his family; when he was a teenager, his desire for independence gushed out, trying his best to escape the control of parents, teachers and other authorities, hoping to use his own feet to measure the endless world in front of him; Youth is the most free, as long as you are willing to be independent in everything, as long as you take good care of yourself, you don’t have to worry about others; middle age is probably the most unfree stage of life. The heavy burden of the young goes forward, so there will be a crisis. Once there are no such ties and constraints, the sudden freedom will make life empty, just like Natalie in the film. But the philosophy of living in peace saved her, allowing her to go from top-heavy to calm, sometimes weak and lonely, but life will not collapse. There are always things worth doing, people who need to be missed, and a beautiful and abundant spiritual world. In the final analysis, the seemingly useless philosophy - a small spiritual field - is the foundation that supports her standing. I was just reading "The Philosophy of Life" recently, and when I put my thoughts under the light of reason, many things will change quietly. There is nothing we have complete control over except our own heart. So I remind myself every day, accept those things that can’t be changed, don’t suffer from things that can’t be controlled, take care of your heart, and do what you can. Abandon the idea of ​​"everything goes well", reduce desire, not be enslaved, and gradually become content and happy.

    As far as I know, female teachers of philosophy departments, mothers, mothers, grandmothers, what life should be like, what it is, not because of having read Adorno and Levinas, Knowing Horkheimer and Schopenhauer makes a difference. There are many truths and meanings that are not only understood by philosophers.

    The most comfortable movie I've watched recently, the spiritual fit is too high. Sixty-year-old Natalie silently watched teenage students and young friends in their twenties and thirties repeat their ideals and struggles, and returned to the house to cry with her mother's old black cat. In the future, the power of life is consumed in the process of repeating the past into a powerless soul, and is written into a book that no one reads.
