what are we dreaming for

In the summer of 2012, I seem to have been moved by one word: ideal. How strange that in a year that was prophesied to doom, I was moved by such an ethereal word, and a complete mess.



In the summer of 2012, I watched The Voice of China, and I was moved by those who persisted for their dreams. However, as the show progressed, I began to get tired of it, because all this was just a farce, and I was moved because of real information. Gradually lost the gains, I returned to the state of cold water, I was no longer moved, and I no longer watched episodes after episodes. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, I still watched the finals because of my previous impressions. However, it seems that with A lover who is always cheating on you is like falling in love, cheating again and again, forgiving again and again, and finally, he is finally numb and doesn't want to look back. Sometimes it's not that we don't want to let go, it's just that we haven't hurt enough. So, on the night of the finals, when I fell asleep on the sofa, I no longer cared who the winner was in the end, and I didn't care, how many of these people were really singing for the ideal. All I need to remember is that they moved me to music this summer and revived my interest in singing karaoke.



A friend once told me a joke about Diversity & opportunity in the first act of HBO's 2012 hit The Newsroom, which is definitely touting the American spirit we used to say, Diversity & opportunity, freedom freedom & freedom, but it is not only touted, because while chasing the spirit, we need to set a target called "ideal", and we also need to choose persistence in this process, we face so many pressures, There are so many factors we need to consider, we need to keep asking our hearts, what is the fucking thing we are looking for?



Yes, what are we insisting on, what are we afraid of, what are we rejecting, Maybe we have gone too far, and sometimes we need to stop and look back at our original ideals. Again: insisting on doing the right thing is more important than doing the right thing.
