It's not shameful to be lonely

I remember when I was a child, there was a neighbor on the first floor of our building. It was estimated that there was a problem with brain development when I was a child, his stature was very short, and his intelligence was only at the level of 3 or 4 years old. His mother locked him at home and was not allowed to go on the street. She had no friends to play with him, so she stayed alone at home, occasionally helping her with small housework, and when she made her angry, she would be beaten up and down. run.

At that time I thought, when I grow up, I will marry him, accompany him, and take care of him.

Thinking about it now, there should be a tall mother in every little girl's heart, with a faint maternal love, shimmering.

When Beth tried to walk into Adam's world for the first time, there was a faint plot like this too.

I will never forget that when Beth invited Adam to the housewarming party for the first time, Adam was actually already ready and anxiously waiting for Beth to knock on the door at home. But just when everything became a reality, he hesitated and couldn't take that step. After Beth left, Adam was crying at the door. I think I understand his mood.

There are always people who live very well and live comfortably without any discomfort in their own little world. But because of their difference, other people always want to draw them into the world of mortals, gathering like ordinary people, having fun with friends, having normal social activities, and falling in love, getting married, and having children step by step, all this life. .....

Thank you very much that the director did not turn this story into a comedy (Adam and Beth live happily together), nor into a tragedy (Beth explicitly rejected Adam), but turned it into an open-ended The ending, leaving room for imagination to the audience.

Perhaps, the director also thinks that letting Adam live a flat life and do what he likes with his strengths is the fastest way for him to live. Letting him into the crowd will only cause discomfort on both sides. In many cases, compassion does not mean love...

so I know that the love between prince and princess does not necessarily lead to marriage...but sometimes marriage is not the best answer , It is just an answer that conforms to the thinking habits of ordinary people.

It is not shameful for a lonely person, as long as he is not reminded of his incompatibility, of being different from ordinary people. Everyone has their own castle, and only in it can they feel safe and warm.
