Through love, she learned to believe

The topic of love is well worth exploring, why would anyone say it's boring. Others say Beth isn't worth it, a lunatic. But she takes love as faith, and like she said, she's good at believing. Even though she was scarred by her beliefs in the end, she did not give up her beliefs, she just said lightly, that maybe I was wrong, maybe the way she believed was wrong. She doesn't care about herself at all, she spends her life trying and making mistakes. We are the kind of people who are cautious, suspicious of everything, and understand nothing. We all take our own lives too seriously.

I didn't realize how vicious the people in the town were, they just couldn't understand it. Of course, it is also an important theme. No one is qualified to judge others, only God can, and no one is God.

But as kind as Beth, none of this will hurt her. True storms come and go inside a person. What she experienced was a desperate distance from letter to letter with all her heart and soul. She finally fulfilled her faith, and God was moved by it. You say that the distance she has experienced is absurd, tragic, or difficult, and it is impossible to generalize. But it cannot be denied that love is very great, and she has completed her faith through her lover.

In addition, the road of faith, once you step on it, you should know that it will not be a smooth road. Faith is not salvation, faith is burden.

  • Bess McNeill: [as God] Bess McNeill, for many years you've prayed for love. Shall I take it away from you again, is that what you want?

    Bess McNeill: Give it to me.

    Dodo McNeill: You've got to stop it.
