The struggle of a leek

Kennith 2022-09-22 10:51:36

Recently, I have always paid attention to the stories of the "poor", who are always powerless, and the rules of the game of society are chasing them. I am also afraid, afraid that we will become them, because of a disease, an accident, a shot, the fragile me may be pulled to the brink of bankruptcy.

I am Blake, an honest, kind and hard-working person, not a number, a string of social codes. In a confrontation between the government machine and the living individual, the individual appears so powerless. After the government is empowered, it loses control and becomes a monster that only sees the advantages and disadvantages. We can't blame it, because we raised it, and we can't kill it, because it's involved in everyone's survival. It's like an artificial intelligence that gradually separates from human beings. We don't know where it will go.

When my life was not independent, I felt that political policies were far away from me. As long as I was happy, I could live well. Now, when we have grown up, become a social person, and become a small cog in this big machine, we have realized the impact that the government will have on people's lives. I am a dispensable cog, and a little change in the core control area will affect my trajectory. Although some regulations are not satisfactory and have to be followed, the leaders have no choice but to issue decrees as soon as they come out. They can only make a leek, at most a leek that can think.

I am a leek, a leek with flesh, flesh and emotion. Even if it is cut, I will continue to work hard to grow. I fight for my dignity and to survive. I like the warmth when I am entangled with other leeks. I am afraid of cutting. The ruthless blade of the grass machine, as long as it is not uprooted, it will still be alive. If you are alive, you must be a leek that can think and cannot be defeated by love.

I, Daniel Blake quotes

  • Daniel: She was special. Yeah, she was special, Daisy. Not easy. She was up one minute, down the next. Smart and funny. Huh. Ah, that lass made me laugh. Kind. She had a big, big heart. But... She said her head was like the ocean. Dead still, then wild. Never knew where she'd end up next. I mean, the music helped that. But then she'd hit the rocks. "Where'll we sail to tonight, Dan?" That was our little joke. Her last words to me were, "I wanna sail away, Dan, with the wind at me back."That's all I need, Dan."

  • Daniel: Hello?

    Harry Edwards: Hi, is that Daniel?

    Daniel: Yes, it is. Hi.

    Harry Edwards: Hi, Daniel, it's Harry Edwards here. We spoke the other day at the garden centre...

    Daniel: Oh, yeah, yeah.

    Harry Edwards: ...when you came down and handed your CV. How are you doing, mate? Are you all right?

    Daniel: Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, thanks, yeah.

    Harry Edwards: Er, listen. I tell you what, mate, I've been going through all the CVs I've had handed over the last couple of weeks. And I really like the look of yours. Erm, you've got the experience I'm looking for. I was wondering if you could possibly, er, pop by tomorrow and that for an interview?

    Daniel: Oh... I'm really sorry, er, Mr. Edwards, but, you know, er, my doctor's told us I cannot come back to work yet.

    Harry Edwards: So you're not actually looking for work, then?

    Daniel: Well, it's hard to explain, you know.

    Harry Edwards: So, well, what's the point of handing in your CV if you're not looking for work?

    Daniel: Well it's the only way I can get me benefits, you know?

    Harry Edwards: Benefits? So you prefer to be on benefits than do a day's graft? You know, I thought you were a genuine bloke. You know, I've spent a lot of time going through them all. I've... I was gonna put some graft your way. You've just wasted my time completely. Why don't you just sod right off!
