Live with your heart, lol!

Life out of control is a tragedy that cannot be avoided once it happens. It must be very painful to be in it, unspeakable, or have lost the strength to speak. He gradually lost his sense of everything around him, and was as numb as a walking corpse.
Whether principles will be broken, whether beliefs will be abandoned, whether more pressure will follow. These blind us to the light.
A serious man, but what on earth does 'serious' mean?
After watching this movie, I think the definition of serious in the protagonist is that everything he does is done after thinking, not wanting others to be hurt, but longing for himself happiness.
Wife and friends who have known each other for more than ten years are going to be together, students and their parents bribe and frame themselves, take care of brothers who can't communicate with others normally, the house is always full of gunpowder, the children call you not to worry about how you are in the hotel, just to talk and talk Ca n't receive a certain channel, work is not going well, have to deal with lawyers, neighbors repair their lawns at will, no money, Martha won't see him...
Cry man, if you don't cry, I'm going to cry .
You changed F to C, and in your dream you gave money to your brother to let him leave, but he was killed by neighbors as prey. Hehe, people are treated as prey. In hurricane weather, doctors called and asked for an interview as soon as possible.
Can't help but wonder, Coen brothers, what are you trying to tell us?
Is it telling us how bad life can be? Do you want to unearth the truest tragedy?
The real tragedy is that our hearts do not belong, our souls gradually dissipate in the face of difficulties, and even our beliefs are forgotten. What we think about, what we believe in, what we fear, gradually blurs.
After reading it, I told myself, it's okay, no one will be so miserable.
won't it? If we just live numbly, what is the difference between us?
But what can you think about, you tell yourself that you are small, you can't win, then you really lose.

My dear, life is nothing if it is not a brave adventure.

Don't be discouraged, everyone still has the ability to live.
Rest assured, life will go on, these will pass, and of course, new things will happen.
Trust that there are at least some things you can change.
For example, breakfast with warm milk and bread.
If this is not there, we can see the light.

Just to find out.

Serious man, maybe you should smile more, be happy for some silly things, and let some unchangeable things be like that. Turn your head and go after what you want. Even if you can't pursue it, it's better than crying forever.
There are very few people in the world who are truly strong at heart, and we don't even know what it means to be strong.
Just keep your faith and live your life with your heart, lol!

A Serious Man quotes

  • Rabbi Scott: No, of course not. I am the junior rabbi. And it's true, the point-of-view of somebody who's older and perhaps had similar problems might be more valid. And you should see the senior rabbi as well, by all means. Or even Minda if you can get in, he's quite busy. But maybe - can I share something with you? Because I too have had the feeling of losing track of Hashem, which is the problem here. I too have forgotten how to see Him in the world. And when that happens you think, well, if I can't see Him, He isn't there any more, He's gone. But that's not the case. You just need to remember how to see Him. Am I right?

    [He rises and goes to the window]

    Rabbi Scott: I mean, the parking lot here. Not much to see. It is a different angle on the same parking lot we saw from the Hebrew school window. But if you imagine yourself a visitor, somebody who isn't familiar with these... autos and such... somebody still with a capacity for wonder... Someone with a fresh... perspective. That's what it is, Larry.

    Larry Gopnik: Um...

    Rabbi Scott: Because with the right perspective you can see Hashem, you know, reaching into the world. He is in the world, not just in shul. It sounds to me like you're looking at the world, looking at your wife, through tired eyes. It sounds like she's become a sort of... thing... a problem... a thing...

    Larry Gopnik: Well, she's, she's seeing Sy Ableman.

    Rabbi Scott: Oh.

    Larry Gopnik: She's, they're planning, that's why they want the Gett.

    Rabbi Scott: Oh. I'm sorry.

    Larry Gopnik: It was his idea.

    Rabbi Scott: Well, they do need a Gett to remarry in the faith. But this is life. For you too. You can't cut yourself off from the mystical or you'll be-you'll remain-completely lost. You have to see these things as expressions of God's will. You don't have to like it, of course.

    Larry Gopnik: The boss isn't always right, but he's always the boss.

    Rabbi Scott: Ha-ha-ha! That's right, things aren't so bad. Look at the parking lot, Larry.

    [Rabbi Scott gazes out, marveling]

    Rabbi Scott: Just look at that parking lot.

  • Larry Gopnik: She seems to be asking an awful lot. But then, I don't know. Somebody has to pay for Sy's funeral.

    Rabbi Nachtner: Uh-huh.

    Larry Gopnik: His own estate is in probate, but why does it have to be me? Or is it wrong to complain? Judy says it is. But I'm so strapped for cash right now, carrying the mortgage, and paying for the Jolly Roger, and I wrecked the car, and Danny's Bar Mitzvah coming up, I...

    Rabbi Nachtner: Something like this... there's never a good time.

    Larry Gopnik: I don't know where it all leaves me, Sy's death. Obviously it's not gonna go back like it was.

    Rabbi Nachtner: Mm. Would you even want that, Larry?

    Larry Gopnik: No, I- well, yeah... sometimes... or... I don't know; I guess the honest answer is "I don't know". What was my life before? Not what I thought it was. What does it all mean? What is Hashem trying to tell me, making me pay for Sy Ableman's funeral?

    Rabbi Nachtner: Mm.

    Larry Gopnik: And did I tell you I had a car accident the same time Sy had his? The same instant, for all I know. I mean, is Hashem telling me that Sy Ableman is me? Or that we are all one, or something?

    Rabbi Nachtner: How does God speak to us? A good question.
