How to reconcile with the world

Pull a text, "others are hell".
One sentence seems to be enough to sum up the whole film, but it seems that something unexpected happened. Loli and the uncle finally established a cordial emotional connection.
Through each other, have you achieved true detachment? still unknown.

In the world, everyone has their own problems.
Emotional setbacks, isolation from relatives, ups and downs at work, hidden ailments, troubles from the past, unprovoked emotions...
Some people deal with it actively, some people are exhausted, some people don't know what it is, and some people are in deep trouble.
Existence itself cannot be chosen.
However, there is a great deal of freedom in how to modify it.
In the end, what you show is just a gesture, sometimes confusing people, sometimes deceiving yourself.
A painful heart can wear a gentle mask, and a struggling soul can wear a calm coat.

Everyone is the center of the self, so important that the inherent burden of memory, experience, and origin often cannot escape detachment.
Everyone is also an outsider in the external world, dispensable, and the truth in the heart is ignored.
On the surface, people are closely related to each other, forming an inextricable network of similarities and similarities.
When he turned around, he was weaving his own cocoon again, spending time and effort building a barrier between himself and the outside world.
Only by peeling the cocoon and crossing the long and hard obstacles to reach the heart can we see the truth.

How do you know yourself?
How do you think others perceive you?
How would you like others to know you?
Are you willing to be completely honest with someone or someone?
What are the real consequences?
Do you really know enough about those who care?

Trapped in the bondage of the ego, of course, is lonely and suffocating.
However, you are a moth, far from a pure white butterfly. Can this truth be accepted?
Forget it, let's continue to pretend, lonely, but at least safe.
However, maybe she or he is not so beautiful as she or he looks, can he really afford that reality?
Forget it, keep it as it is, lonely, but at least safe.
Therefore, close relatives such as parents and children, husband and wife often do not really understand each other.

The real redemption may be to achieve reconciliation with the world through a certain person, allowing oneself to be detached.
This person is not perfect, not even beautiful, but due to some chance or long-term gradual communication, they have penetrated the core truth of each other and completely accepted each other.
This process is about "domestication".
Appreciating, admiring, and cherishing is not difficult at first, but the difficulty lies in fully understanding it.

And then back to the movie itself, all the depression, heavy, messy, hesitation came to a cure in the end.
The happy ending

is a real fantasy at the end. I hope everyone will have a happy ending.

Detachment quotes

  • Henry Barthes: I am money, I change hands like the dollar bill, that has been rubbed by a lamp; Then a genie appeared and cried loudly, with volume; But the tears were all for myself, and that's where it all went wrong

  • Henry Barthes: [In nursing home] Grampa, you doing any writing in your journal?

    [Thumbs through empty journal]

    Grampa: I don't remember much, I lost the habit. You can't think in this place, you can't make new memories.
