I watched several documentaries about Tibet recently, and when I saw the title of this film, I decided to click in. Tibetans have their pilgrimage road. They have had a better life, with the most sincere hearts and sincere prayers. The pilgrimage road of this film is the 800-kilometer pilgrimage road to Santiago. At the end of the road is the place where Jacob, one of the twelve disciples of Jesus, was buried. The people who set foot on this road may not be the Tibetans who kowtow all the way, or they may not be real pilgrims, but with various reasons, they set foot on the starting point of this road alone, just like in the film The fat man is to lose weight, the female smoker is to quit smoking, the writer is to collect materials, the father is to fulfill his son's wish, but even if there is no religious belief, those deep-seated beliefs are the driving force that supports you to go on, right? ? When we were born, we have actually embarked on our own life pilgrimage road. Along the way, we may encounter joys or sorrows, success or setbacks, but those are all the scenery you have witnessed, and all the experiences you have experienced. More often, these good and bad scenery have to be faced by yourself. Fortunately, on this road, maybe someone will come to accompany you for a while, watch the beautiful scenery together, endure the storm together, and let you go. There may be new people and new things along the way. When you set foot on this road, maybe you simply hope to see the world, maybe you hope to become stronger, maybe you want to make atonement for your past life, but you are still constantly verifying and cleansing your soul, maybe after so many experiences. , will find that once owned, are all gifts from God, and may have a deeper understanding of the future. As said in the film, life is not chosen, but lived. Don't stand at the starting point to choose for the sake of choice, start, you will always find a direction on the road, where there is a wider world and more life insights.
