It's a kind of soothing grief, the last time I came across it after reading Kieslowski's play The Ten Commandments. Sometimes it's not the carefreeness of others that makes us breathe a sigh of relief, but the unmistakable knowledge that we're not alone in this world groping in the dark.
Don't say I'm pessimistic because this is real life. Yes, there are smiles, there are joys, there are happiness, but there is no perfection... far from, and, never perfect. When the couple in "The Veil" finally touched each other's soul deeply, one was taken away by the cholera virus. In those years, all foreigners who came to China had their own goals. Even the nuns who remained in the cholera wards made deals with young women to take their children away, so that faith in God could take root in more people. Maybe it's just them, just to save a life, whether that life is cheap or not. The Doctor's love for all life gradually won over the love of his wife. However, it is very late, and we can't catch up with the old days, only to the impermanence of fate.
There is also a story about being late in Red. The young and beautiful model met the judge who was almost at dusk. One has not been seriously injured by life, and his heart is full of trust and love for people; The kindness and beauty of the girl brought warmth and light to his life. He slowly opened his heart and counted the faintly visible scars to her. A delicate feeling developed between them: understanding, caring, sharing. Sometimes I feel that the word "love" restricts too many emotional possibilities and is placed on too many ideals, which will cover up many more real feelings. Just like these two people, there are insurmountable years between them, and it is too late and too late to catch up with the definition of love, only to have no color.
The two stories have the same "I don't know what to do" and have a similar understanding of feelings. The love of the wife for the husband is triggered by the husband's love for others; the heart of the judge is awakened by the girl's trust in people and the love of life. Why is this so?
Red symbolizes fraternity. This concept is easy to explain but difficult to understand. Fraternity is expressed in English as: UNIVERSAL LOVE, universal love. Many religions speak of fraternity, with varying content. Christian ethics emphasizes love, which is, first of all, God's love for mankind, followed by believers' love for God, and then "love your neighbor" and "love your neighbor as yourself" among believers. Fraternity is based on the fact that all people are God's children, they are brothers and sisters to each other and therefore love each other. The foundation of Buddhism's promotion of fraternity is compassion: "Great Wisdom Rescue" says: Great compassion and all sentient beings are happy, and great compassion relieves all sentient beings from suffering; Buddhism's superficial precepts of abstinence are to liberate sentient beings from suffering, because without attachments, there will be no heartache of concern, and in the final analysis, it is out of sympathy for the situation of human beings. Religion is easier to understand about fraternity, because religion needs to be believed, and the more people who believe, the more powerful it will be. As a spirit of religion, fraternity can unite people to the greatest extent, generate cohesion internally, and compete with other religions and the secular world externally. But what is the meaning of fraternity in our day, in the life of the average person? Fraternity is really possible? I am not in a position to describe all the notions that the world is incompatible with fraternity, but I can try to name one or two: psychology assumes human selfishness, economics assumes human selfishness. Although hypothetical, it has been used almost as truth; the existentialist Sartre called "others are hell". Although Sartre has his own meaning in it, this expression can indeed be understood as for the self, others are objects. If the connotation of fraternity is to love others as oneself, then in the face of these assumptions, fraternity is an exorbitant requirement. What is the meaning of fraternity? Is fraternity possible?
I had a chat with a few friends about this. Some people say that people need to find some meaning in others more or less in their life. If no one accepts your actions, no one communicates your thoughts, no one benefits from your creations, no one affirms and no one denies, there is still life. What's the meaning. It is also said that people live in this world with needs, and without others, individual needs cannot be met and cannot survive. Both reasons make sense, but for both reasons, you don't have to love the whole world (excess) people, just love those who mean something to you. My idea is that fraternity may be a "type" of need: because I have life, I want to love living things; because I am human, I want to love people. Fraternity may also be a kind of "love house and house": remember the words of the fox in "The Little Prince"? "I don't eat flour, so wheat means nothing to me. But after being tamed by you, because of the color of your hair, I will fall in love with the golden color of the wheat waves." There is also a similar story in "A Room with a View" Expression: liking one person can make people like another person. The famous American social psychologist Stanley Milgram first proposed in the 1960s that in the interpersonal context, to meet any unfamiliar friend, only six friends at most can achieve the goal. That is to say, if you want to know someone, ask friends to find friends to find people who know him, and there will be no more than six people between them. Through such emotional transmission, fraternity becomes possible. Fraternity is perhaps more likely because: Deep down we want the love of the world, not necessary nor possible, but we do want it. The generosity in our eyes is just because we live alone in the world and need love from others...
Back to the movies. We don't blame ourselves for not being able to love the world, but we are more willing to open our hearts to those who love the world. Because with them, we know we will not be rejected, we will not be forsaken, without fear of them blaming us for our shortcomings. We might find it a little weird if they still had more affection for us than for others.
