When love is released, have you ever thought about "empathy"

film "The Agent Next Door", the wonderful plot, funny actions, and humorous dialogue brought a lot of laughter to the spacious studio; at the same time, the release of the characters’ feelings also made me cry My eyes were spinning, because I was very touched by the hard-won feelings.

I believe that the friends present here and those who have watched this movie have a feeling: Bob has brought a lot of care to the children, of course he loves Julianne even more, but the children give us the feeling: 14-year-old The eldest daughter Fran did not approve of her mother’s relationship with Bob, who looked silly. 12-year-old Ian was a naughty kid, and 4-year-old Nora was a lively little sister with excess energy. My feeling is the same. When we kindly give our feelings or love, how can the giver be so indifferent, and even more so, still expressing disgust for you. Although this is only a question of details, this question made me think a lot, even though the final outcome is that Bob moved Fren, who had the strongest reaction, with practical actions.

Movies are just movies. If you put it in real life, there will be no FBI career Bob, no special martial arts, and ultimately no ability to protect the children against the gang. Just imagine whether there is a way out for Bob's feelings. The answer is yes, but the thinking has to be changed, just as we often say "empathy". At first everyone thought we were Bob, but after we changed positions, we became Fren or Ian or Nora. When we became victims or weak, what would we think? If I were Fren, what would I think of when faced with Bob who pleases his mother everywhere? Facing my father’s disappearance and the non-biological mother beside me, do I think that Bob’s entry into our lives will bring me any good results? Facing my mental breakdown, do I still have the desire to live? To use Fren's words, I look forward to my father picking me up in the future. When a person's wish is nothing more than that, it seems that I have become a veritable orphan. Faced with the arrival of Bob, I can only choose to refuse, because I don't want to be hurt anymore.

Thinking about this, if I return to the role of Bob again, I will understand the plot of the film very well, and the character's identity "Bob is an orphan" is also reasonable. Therefore, if we want the love that we give ourselves to have a fall, we must first "think empathy" to understand the needs of others. This is also what we often say. If our own giving is not based on the other's needs, then this kind of giving It doesn't make any sense, unless it is for hype.
