What do you born for?

Saw the romantic movie August Rush today. Despite some illusory coincidences, it's still a film that tugs at my heart and can't help but want to write something about it.
I don't talk about love, but I am a person who believes in love, especially after watching a movie every time. This time I want to say "persistence".
Pure August Rush, whose pure desire was only for music, to play in search of his parents. I know that some people in this world are really born for music, that kind of love "more than food".
Not everyone has that kind of spiritual devotion in music, but not everyone can have some aspects of "attachment" . Maybe it's music, maybe mathematics, maybe writing, it's not surprising that people are regarded as monsters because of their dedication to a certain field.
If Edison is not obsessed with inventions, if Nobel is not obsessed with explosives and blasting, if Mei Lanfang is not obsessed with innovative Peking Opera, if Bruce Lee is not obsessed with Chinese martial arts, if Jay Chou is not obsessed with hip-hop and rap, if Zhou Xingchi is not obsessed with Deconstruction and spoofing, without these "Freaks", without these "what ifs", what would our world be like?
Therefore, it is necessary to allow, tolerate, understand, and even support the attachments of others. Those with dreams will always be respected. "I can disagree with your point of view, but I will defend to the death your right to speak!" Here, I defend the right of others to pursue persistently.

At the same time, find your own persistence.
What were you born for? What makes you happy? What gift do you have that makes those around you happy? Do you have any specialties? Have a hobby?
What are you born for? Is it for the drunk party? Is it for the meeting of clouds and mountains? Is it for the compliment in Vanity Fair? Is it for the sake of not getting old or not falling for King Kong?
What are you born for? Are you running for public welfare? Are you working hard for the cause of education? Or is it just to protect the environment?

Think, think again...

Everyone's life is gorgeous because of their own unique dedication.

August Rush quotes

  • Richard Jeffries: You know, a lot of kids don't want to leave their first home, because they're afraid that if they do, their parents won't be able to find them. I'm here to make sure that doesn't happen to you.

    [cut to August, who has tears running down his face]

  • Louis Connelly: Come on. Be brave.
