I was lazy today and didn't go to military training. I watched the movie "My Neighbor Yamada-kun" in the dormitory in the afternoon. Japanese animation film. First of all, the picture is very distinctive. Like a freehand Chinese painting, a flesh-and-blood figure is outlined in just a few strokes. The blank space in the blockbuster, the blurred passers-by, the warm and warm colors...
The most important thing is the simple and clean story.
The director only intercepted a few fragments of ordinary life, but after careful choreography, it conveys the feeling of happiness. What is happiness? We are looking for it. Uncle Benshan once said on the Spring Festival Evening: "Happiness is suffering."
What is happiness? When I was teaching in Fuyang, I was happy to sleep in a room without so many bugs, to have a place to take a cold shower and to have a clean mouth. Drinking water is happiness, not to mention air conditioners, beverages, TVs, computers... When I came home, I was in a clean room with cold wind blowing, drinking milk, eating snacks, watching TV, the first two God, feel so happy. As the days go by, the happiness disappears. On the contrary, the boundless emptiness struck deeply. I originally planned to go home and accompany my parents and learn to cook a few dishes, but I didn't do anything. The days slipped away quietly in front of the TV, and my spirit became more and more sluggish.
The happiness brought by material things will not last long, this is my conclusion. Do you get bored when you don't have to work on basic material foundations, when your life is no longer in flux, when you are faced with the same life? Just like the male lead in "Love Call Forwarding", even the conversation after returning home is clear because the conversation is the same every day. Forever purple sweater, fried noodles, life has become a dry well, lifeless. What about happiness!
Unbearable lightness in life! The repetitive life dulls our happiness tentacles, and we become only whining, cursing, the damn life. In fact, if you taste it carefully, life is actually delicious...
Just like in the film, parents are fighting to watch their favorite TV shows, but they don't even notice that grandma and daughter are fighting outside the door. On a rainy day, my father called home and asked his family to deliver the umbrella. After being excused by the family, he said helplessly that he would buy an umbrella, but his wife asked him to buy some meat. He looked angry, but he still bought the meat. Walking alone on the street, he saw his wife, son, and daughter coming to bring him umbrellas. The little daughter was wearing a bright yellow raincoat, like a little duck. The meat was given to his wife, and the family of four gradually disappeared in the rain. Although there was not a word, I felt happiness spread out little by little.
No matter how splendid life is, it will be dull. We should learn to not complain and learn to discover the little happiness in life.
Buddha said: Everything is born from the heart. Let go of distracting thoughts and go to Fuhai!
