As a loyal fan of Sagan, I very much agree with every shocking point she made. Yes, each of us is actually a hedonist. We sympathize with the poor because when we are eating meat, we can only see people eating bread by the side of the road. We sympathize with the poor because we are on our way back to the high-end apartment with a drunken party at midnight before we encounter the tramp who is unclothed and huddled in a public chair on the side of the road, preparing to spend the night. This little sympathy that we have sent out is only exchanged for the description of "Jumen's wine and meat are smelly, and there are frozen bones on the road."
Since ancient times, the meat and wine in Zhumen has been a potent medicine that really promotes social development.
Dustin Hoffman in "Midnight Cowherd", if he uses the words of literary youth to describe people in secular life, it should be like this: a lame man who was abandoned by his parents when he was born, one for ten. The dollar can sell a poor self-esteem, a lowly liar, a shameless thief, an unworthy tramp, and a poor hidden version of homosexuality.
The above description is in keeping with a person who has nothing, lack of material, living in poverty, and nowhere to find three meals. The cripple who is looking for a job should be rejected decisively before stepping through the door, let alone enjoying the middle-class life in a garden house where he paid the down payment. In such a life, even an adventurer who wants to challenge the limits of life does not want to wear such a "halo" on his body.
But life is so terrible that it will not make the protagonist in it give up his dream of making a fortune and going well-off.
You see, Dustin Hoffman, in order to be able to rush to the imaginary new life, Johnny Water, who is so eager to get rid of poverty by being a cowboy, plans to develop new customers together. Johnny hangs the cowboy-style brand and no one picks it up. He lost $20 to an old woman for the first time doing business. He tried his best to hook up on the streets of New York with a middle-aged man who was inconsistent with a miserable life. Women, but never succeeded.
Hoffman went into battle for this business without paying too much. Not only did he go to the laundry to help Johnny wash clothes, he also showed off his superb skills in haircutting, shoe polishing and hat stealing, and began to design Johnny's image. After getting this done, I began to imagine that the two were on the beach in Florida, dressed in flamboyant clothes, envied and coveted by all the women.
Johnny asked Hoffman, "Why don't you eat with such a good
shoe- shining craft?" Hoffman replied without thinking, "Like my father, he bends his waist for the rest of his life, and he can never wash his hands completely like shoe polish. ? That's not the life I want."
Don't Hoffman and Johnny represent us? Looking forward to a good job with more money and less living and being close to home and by the way, you don’t have to stand in the pool for three hours just to fix the owner’s water pipe, and you don’t have to sit down on the road for two dollars for a day. Bend your head over and give someone a shoe shine and a haircut, you can see the end of life without having to live this sounding, even if you don’t know where to eat after eating now.
Serious people who don’t know what hunger is about are starting to criticize, "You should be so lazy to have no money", "Don’t you know that people live to suffer hardship?"
No, no, I think the lack and life brought about by material The suffering in itself is two different things. The lack of material makes people sluggish and distressed, and they are unable to extricate themselves from the whirlpool of three meals a day, rent, and transportation. After living, people should enjoy life and enjoy the things that are easy, happy, and comfortable.
Where is this laziness, where is this low-eye and low-handed, this is clearly the life that each of us wants to pursue in our entire life.
Yes, you can say that my daydreams are corroded by capitalist thinking, but I think this is life, the life we have to pursue all our lives: reading our favorite books, sleeping, trying to make money, and enjoying life perfectly. simple.
I hate those people who always say "young people, don't think about eating and drinking hot and relaxing every day, and learn to accept the poor life". Because I think such people are insincere, and they are not sincere to others. They are corrupted by these so-called sentences and used to instill in people who don't need this kind of poisonous chicken soup. Even if they drive Maserati, they will not frankly tell you "I actually strive to live a more luxurious life". After all, talking about idealism can fool more people. Few people can be as innocent as Sagan. He scrupulously said, "I am going to write a book, I will make a lot of money, I am going to buy a snow leopard", so I face the great desire of material directly.
Well, you can say that my super desire for material makes me look worldly and shameless. But the love and enjoyment of whiskey, food, movies, music and travel makes me feel good. Yes, I just want to live a shameless and enjoyable life. This is my ideal.
Life is in a hurry, let's dance.
