I am actually very sober about my own changes, but the sobriety of my life is not worth a moment of burning desire.
There are three more episodes in the movie that I will never forget:
episode one: when Rebecca saw the scarf, the angel in her mind told herself she didn't need a scarf, but the black angel jumped out and said to her, yeah you don't need a scarf, All you need to do is wrap a pair of ripped jeans around your neck. The point is that this scarf will become your symbol, a spiritual symbol, it will make your eyes look bigger. Rebecca herself went on to say that it would make my hair more expensive, it would look good with everything, and it was an investment. Make the interview more confident and poised.
Fragment 2: When Rebecca was going for an interview at a magazine company, she saw a green scarf through the window. She thought that wearing this scarf would increase her self-confidence. When she took five seconds to rule out the $900 already When the loan was about to be repaid, she swiped dozens and dozens of cards in turn, but she still lacked 20 or how many dollars. She begged the clerk to keep it for her first, but the clerk said that the discounted items could not be kept. At that time, she almost went into a state of madness: she ran to the nearest hot dog shop and asked to cash "If I give you a check for 23 dollars, can you give me 20 dollars and a hot dog." It can be seen that it is A difference of $3. "Do I look like a bank?" "Please, I'd buy all your hot dogs." Money wasn't attractive to Rebecca, she was obsessed with merchandise.
Snippet 3: When Rebecca went to the sale, she saw Gucci's shoes, they were 50% off, "Do I need to buy this? No." Then she put down the shoes, when another customer grabbed them, she panicked "Excuse me, these are the shoes I grabbed first."
I almost empathized with these three clips.
I only recently experienced the state of segment 2, specifically when I saw some limited-time discounted products, but there was not enough money on Alipay, and the salary card was not directly linked to Alipay (it was not directly linked to cause trouble for myself, It turns out that if you really want it, you won't be bothered.} I'll go straight to the nearest ATM, no matter what bank it is, and I don't care how much the inter-bank transfer fee is, I don't care about these fees. It's like Rebecca was willing to buy 92 hot dogs for $3, and there is only the item in her mind.
Fragment 3, in June this year, gucci suddenly gave a very low discount, although I don't think I need it , but in the face of such a low discount, I have a rush to not buy a loss. This is an emotional loss.
Why are you so obsessed with the brand?
First of all: vanity. We know what the brand stands for and represents Money and status, it means you are above others, you are a person who has gotten rid of bad taste. I have seen many people, they are very rich, they often spend a lot of money, gucci bags, lv wallets, Rolex watches. They buy them and use them , not because of the brand culture behind them, they even wrote the full name of lv, but just because it can show their wealth and status, like a postcard that they carry around and show. And myself, actually Knowing the culture behind it, I especially like Chanel, partly because of coco.Chanel, her independence and bravery, her intelligence and speciality, this is what attracted me to Chanel.
Secondly: I remember once the deputy editor of Bazaar Yu Ge asked why she sold out when she introduced something? Why did everyone follow? I remember my answer at the time was: because I admire you, want to be close to you, and want to be similar to you, then the easiest way The way is to use what you use and understand what you know. Imitation is the beginning of success, but we often forget that imitation only stops at the beginning. I used to like to buy the same model that I admire, because I wanted to gain a sense of superiority, as if It is to use the same style to become like them, but I forgot that this is a lazy imitation, and the method is wrong in the first place.
Also, you really have one: as long as I have this One thing, I can get the illusion of being better.
Material things can bring good enjoyment to people. We often say that even in the worst state, we must maintain a mentality of pursuing beauty. But the pursuit of beauty is not the pursuit of expensive. Although it is said that you get what you pay for, but "cheap is not good" is not absolute. When it is more right, you just don't know how to pick the goods. According to relevant surveys, prada's killer bag is actually very easy to wear and does not use, why don't we buy a very durable but cheap bag?
In fact, many people use material desires to numb themselves. It's all palliative. A shopaholic is like a food madman. There is a big hole in the heart, so it is constantly filled with material or food. But this filling is only temporary, and after a while, the goods and delicacies will sink into the swamp of the heart. Because you filled in the wrong thing. Shopaholic is not a disease, but it can reflect a certain state of your mind, there is a small problem in a certain place, and it has not been solved. If you can face up to this problem, you will soon be able to get rid of materialistic desires.
There is also a joke circulating on the Internet that it depends on whether a person's bag is expensive or cheap, and it is only in his arms or on his head when he sees him on a rainy day. Actually what I'm trying to say is that sometimes we get confused, like Rebecca, thinking that a green scarf gives her confidence and can be a spiritual symbol. Any material is just material, and when it becomes precious, even a spiritual object, it is because we artificially give it a human meaning. Like Chanel, I give it the meaning of women's independence. It's like the green scarf was really just a luxury scarf at first, but when Rebecca auctioned it off and the hero bought it for her and gave it to her, then the scarf at this time has surpassed the meaning of price, really. is a spiritual symbol.
Schopenhauer said that the world is of will and appearance. So, is it possible to think that the brand is the appearance, and the meaning behind it is the will. You think it's expensive and it's expensive, you think it's nothing and it's nothing. Now everyone is advocating separation. There are many books in Japan about this, but don't be too extreme. Any good thing is always dangerous when it is extreme.
