"True" salvation

The truth is often so painful, even unbearable. Using lies and hallucinations to gain spiritual comfort and maintain the so-called decent survival is also the normal state of most people's lives and thinking.

In Father Ivan, everything in the past has concentrated all kinds of inextricable suffering in the world, which can be overcome by non-spontaneous life force, and the real and terrible forces him to use hypocrisy and distortion to shape an illusory self. It can be said to be a disease, but it is also a kind of magical beauty.

The difference is that he has taken the role of a priest to help others to redeem as his own duty, and sees his own shadow on the liberation of others, but he doesn't mind whether this liberation is still an imaginary imagination.

Adam, a rude underworld leader, has a cold and uncompromising pursuit of reality. When he became the object of his salvation, he also became the end of his fantasy.

Where does the energy of life come from? This is also a topic I ask myself. Both the truth and the illusion seem to have their own power, wandering between the two, often thinking that they can control themselves, but the fact is that they are controlled by both.

Although the plot has some idealized and beautiful sustenance, it may also be a guide. The truth often shows its powerful power after some major events or the test of life and death. At that moment, there is nothing that cannot be accepted or avoided. There is no beauty or ugliness in the real past, and painful experiences can be a treasure. Hypocrisy and evasion are so vulnerable.

How to face oneself looks glamorous in the past actually implies all kinds of unspeakable life, how to obtain true power, relying on oneself to break free, relying on books, it is mostly difficult to rely on God to work. Just as Ivan and Adam became soul mates in the end, in the contest between the two people, one finally confronted the true self calmly, and the other recovered the beautiful kindness deep in his heart.
