Death in your eyes, life in his eyes

When I was young, I had an inescapable obsession with life and death. When I was in the third grade of elementary school, I hid under the quilt and cried every night for a month. What I am afraid of is that I can no longer understand the world after death. I don’t know what the familiar environment and familiar people have become. I have no support and become nothing, and later I understand that it is the fear of the unknown.

Although as time goes by, there is no fear or resistance to death, and I can accept it calmly, but the deepening understanding of the emptiness of death makes me want to cherish every minute of my life, no matter how I know that I will not give up voluntarily Life will only go with the flow in the face of death.

But this movie made me think that there is a group of people in the world whose hearts to die are equally worthy of respect.

The story of "Eternal Sleep in the Deep" is very simple. The handsome and strong male protagonist as a mechanic became a high-level paraplegic patient in an accident. He could not take care of himself at all, and depended on his family to take care of him. After losing hope of life, the male protagonist spent 30 years. Fighting for the dignity of his life, death became his lifelong dream. But countless people came to persuade him to try to tell the meaning of courage and strength, the unrepeatable truth of life. It's a crazy idea to die on one's own, rely on others, and no one wants to be a murderer who ends other people's lives. Two women who adore him, one has the same belief as him and helped him fight for the right to euthanasia, but he is nostalgic for his life when he is unable to act due to degenerative disease, and the other tries to save his desire to die, but finally helps him die.

Maybe many people say that life is precious. If you live with an optimistic attitude, life will return you the same; there are no obstacles that cannot be overcome, and life is full of hope; you can also look for other valuable things, not just what you have lost, and so on. chicken soup. But it is said that no one can deprive others of the right to live, so why do people criticize the right to die for a person who cannot even control death?

In my opinion, the autonomy of life is more important than life itself, and the choice of life and death should be the basic element of autonomy. Just because death is not repetitive, people are especially sensitive and repulsive to death based on the love of rare species and the fear of no regrets.

As a human being, life has been judged both subjectively and objectively. There is no hope of change, and suffering will be endless. Only the mentality can be changed. Optimistic attitude and brave life are commendable, but this mentality is not a kind of psychological suggestion and forced transformation in the heart, it is self-comfort in a helpless situation, because this kind of life is more difficult day by day, and people are always afraid of what they can’t do. It is envy and admiration.
Neglecting to die is also a kind of love for life, having expectations for life, loving the beauty of nature, the warmth between people, and loving your own free soul, and do not want the cruelty of reality to destroy the love in your heart, because Sorry for not being able to get in touch. People are independent individuals, and each person must be allowed to pursue life differently and like things differently. The hope that the survivors can rely on may be dismissed in front of those who seek death. Letting go at this time is also a kind of strength, a pursuit of dignity and freedom that is different from livestock.

Death in our eyes is an extension of the breadth of life, a new life that attains freedom and liberation of the soul.
