under the support of some spiritual force

. Under the hurricane, under the death, there is some kind of spiritual force that keeps me going.

Which is more cruel, a real disaster or a natural disaster? When Tammy stood in front of the post-hurricane mess, her purpose was simple, to live—just live.

When we face the real disaster, we don't know what to do. We have a lot of concerns—family, career, personal ideals, and the more we think about it, the less we know what to ask for.

Natural disasters are simpler, and all efforts are only for the sake of survival. The only game is whether man will conquer the sky, or "heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are dogs."

But when it comes to reality, things are often more complicated. Some people are rich but humble like a dog; some people are poor like a stray dog, but they live happily in the spiritual world. The lost of the mind is often because of wanting too much, and people's definition of beauty is too extreme - everything should be beautiful, and if there is anything wrong, it means that my life is very miserable. A good family, a good career, and a good life ideal are also required. Sadly, even the news broadcasts cannot help you realize this kind of life.

Why do couples who have been through disaster together tend to get married more easily? One of the reasons is that under the weight of the disaster, the purpose of the two people is very simple, and the definition of beauty has become simple - you can help me live together, you are beautiful. Therefore, when two people share weal and woe, work together and survive, their gratitude and trust in each other will become unprecedentedly stable, and it will be easier to enter into marriage.

Real marriages are often more complicated. Chinese-style marriages, in particular, often combine not only two individuals, but also two families, or even two families. Such complex interpersonal relationships can sometimes be extremely difficult to handle. So the so-called mother-in-law conflicts are not uncommon.

The reason why disaster films are easy to inspire and move people is that in the face of an unprecedented disaster, the surviving people's trust in each other and their gratitude to the god of luck, this simple happiness, and the strangeness that comes with it. The spiritual power that reality can never give.
