we're all good

The weather in the past few days has been surprisingly cold, and my feet are frozen like icicles all day long, making it difficult to even walk. This completely subverts the conclusion that there is no winter in Xi'an in my cognition. There is indeed no cool sea breeze here, no dynamic coldness. In Qingdao, when you are blown through by the cold wind, you can The cold blends in, and the cooling here is irresistible and leaves you with nowhere to go. That cold and ruthless like this gray city. And I'm an out of place person in this city.


Today's listening and speaking class finally finished the "Miracle in the Green Mile". To be honest, this kind of film is not suitable for watching in the classroom situation. This film about human nature, good and evil, repentance, religion, and thinking is not easy to be brought into by modern people, let alone a 3-hour film that we watched in two weeks of class hours, and it was in a Unclear on the projector. What a waste of a classic.



I have to say that, apart from the shocking scenes in the film, I couldn't even distinguish the faces of the characters in the film, but that alone was enough to startle the waves in my heart. John Coffey, since he appeared on the scene, I didn't think it was a murderer at all. There was nothing at all. Those who must arrest him as a murderer really have no intuition for kindness. Like many people in this world, chaotic Live, blinded by your own eyes.



He hugged the two little girls and cried, and he said I try to take it back but it was too late. Yes, it was too late because they were already dead. But why did no one think that he just wanted to save them?



This world is ugly, there are too many sins, and there are too many injuries. It is impossible for him to treat them one by one, so he reluctantly chose to give up, give up watching, give up, give up listening, give up and save the people in this world. We can't ask too much from him, after all, he's just one person and he doesn't have the ability to save everyone. He cured Paul, rescued the little mouse, and the dying brain tumor patient, but this made people feel even more heavy and helpless, because he could, but he still couldn't save everyone. Even if he could feel the pain of the electric shock together, it was still irreversible and could not be changed.



Pandora's box has been opened, and even though he can suck death and disease out of one place, they don't dissipate, they float somewhere else.



Everything in this world is too heavy for him to bear, unable to bear the mission of redemption, so he chose to leave and return to heaven.



However Paul and Mr. Jingle inherited some of his power, which to me is more of a punishment than a gift, when you see an old man and a slow-moving rat, all the bitterness and Grief will come to my heart, and finally become dazed, yes, when everything you love, hate, and everyone has passed away, you are the only one in this world, alone and independent. In the landscape where people are gone, all you have is that short-lived memory.



Compared with life and death, what is everything worth? The important thing is that the person you love is by your side...



So, my dears, we should all be good and stop torturing each other, because our time together is short, but we will be separated... for a long, long time. .....
