what matters

The first step is to fall into deep sadness, and then, to lose your sense of smell. No longer smelling the fresh smell in the air, no longer smelling the aroma of various foods, no longer triggering memories because of a familiar smell.
Sad people are immersed in it and cannot extricate themselves. Is it because of this that without the sense of smell, it will no longer trigger memories, and will no longer fall into sadness, a protective mechanism?
Restaurant: The seasonings that add to the food are saltier, sweeter, spicy, sour, and more. . . The flavors of everything are accentuated, trying to feel the taste of the food.

The second step is to fall into self-abandonment, feel that no one loves you, and you will be lonely until old age. After the strong emotions, you will be intensely hungry. Eat any food you can find nearby, whether it is flowers, or frozen fish, or raw meat, or alive. The rabbit, or salad oil, or lipstick, lotion, anything that seems to be edible. After hunger, is the loss of taste.
People can no longer feel the taste of food, there is nothing at all, food is just synonymous with flour and fat, no matter how advanced the whisky is, it is just a plastic feeling, meaningless.
Lonely people feel that they are abandoned by the whole world and that everything is meaningless. Is it because of this that they have no sense of taste?
Restaurant: Make a kind of shortbread, there will be a crunching sound when you eat it, and you will squirt wine glasses with your friends, and it will be crisp to touch. When the taste is no longer, you can rely on the sound to make the joy of life.

The third step is to have great anger at what is happening in front of you, smashing all kinds of things at hand, and after the anger, there is a silent world. You can still speak, but you can't hear your own voice, and you can't hear other people's voices, but you can still see words.
But what about hurtful words in anger?
When people are angry, they do things that hurt others and hurt themselves at the same time, and they can't hear the voices of others. Is it because of this that they lose their hearing?
Warm reminders have become sign language of various meanings, how to gesture when happy, how to gesture when sad, people began to communicate in sign language.
Restaurant: People are still eating happily. The original sound has become a reminder light. People are happy to gesture and communicate with their hands.
People start to plan for the worst, but still expect the best to happen, everything is the same as before.
The film also went into silence, which made me wonder what kind of feeling and powerlessness it would be if I lost my hearing.

The fourth step, the world is dark, the first light after the darkness, forgiveness, love, and more is the desire to embrace the lover.
The men and women in love finally found each other. At the last moment of embracing, their vision began to blur, and they slowly approached and hugged each other. Feeling the contours of each other's faces in the darkness, hugging each other, as if this is a world, fortunately, you can feel.

In the face of this gradually collapsing world, there are two choices. One chooses to go to the streets to sweep what they see and loot and drink it; the other chooses to continue living in a better way.
Gradually, I lost my sense of smell, taste, and hearing, but I saw that the people in the film were more pure and happy, and they paid more attention to what they loved and valued, and seemed to live a better life.
This is a world where the senses gradually lose their function, but it is also a world where people gradually regain their purity.
With so many of us, cherish what we have?

What if you don't even feel it? Is it possible that we will eventually forget who we are and where is this place?
What if you don't even have an idea? Does it seem like it doesn't exist anymore? No me, no one else, nothing.

I habitually turned on the TV during dinner, but I kept changing the channel and didn't really want to watch it. So I listened to my heart, turned off the TV, no music, no phone, just food, ideas, and me. Feel the feeling of the entrance, the smell, and the content of "perfect sense" is still in my mind.
