Shaking hands with God and walking with destiny
-after watching the movie "Unfinished Life"
, I felt that my mother was asleep, and I watched the movie quietly in front of the computer. Then slowly opened the back door, there was no light outside, but some hazy moonlight, gently and sharply broke the dark silence.

The film is so simple and plain that a father can't get out of the pain of losing a child, so he can't reach a real reconciliation with this world. He hated this impermanent world, the car accident that caused the death of his son, the daughter-in-law who was driving at the time, and even the granddaughter he had never met. In the end, he hated himself and hated himself because he was drunk for not having time to save the friend who was caught by the bear. .

On a vast and beautiful farm, there is an obtrusive grave and a thin stone monument. This is how the film unfolds in the beauty with scars, just like everyone's heart, which is originally so beautiful, but it always hides deep pain.

This deep scar, perhaps, will not heal in his lifetime. And this father (I always forget the protagonist's name after watching the film, please forgive me for ignoring it) may be really lucky, because he has reached a reconciliation with God "before his life". Fortunately, he has a true friend, a lovely granddaughter, and a strong daughter-in-law. When he was hurt and lost, he did not completely despair, but gave him a chance to cherish the present and heal. Opportunity in the past. Yes, he finally understands that, in fact, the opportunity for a person to reach a reconciliation with fate is always possessed, and always in his own hands, but he always tries his best to hide or deepen his wounds, it is between hiding and intensifying. , Weaving a heart net for myself, I wanted to use this to protect myself, but netted my soul. His friends have been hoping and guiding him out of this net of hearts, telling him that he had different dreams, but in the end it was the protagonist himself who opened this net of hearts, and then he truly dreamed of "flying in the sky and seeing the green In the grassland, I saw the merciful God, and saw tolerance and forgiveness"...

However, to be truly detached, to get the liberation of the soul in one's life, how difficult is this kind of wisdom and truth, and it is difficult to find in the whole life? And the protagonist in the film is so fortunate that he has already flown "not his life".

Yes, I can understand this feeling of "flying". A moment of growth, openness, gratitude and beauty. Every flight is a healing, a growth, a kind of openness, from the sorrow, hatred, hiding to peace, yearning and relief for the father’s departure, from the disdain and incomprehension of the mother to the deep gratitude, from the sorrow for poverty From hatred to direct gaze and gratitude to poverty, from perplexity and humiliation to growth to openness and confidence in growth, I am working hard to heal the pain somewhere in my heart, shaking hands with God again and again, and walking with destiny. .

"Walk with destiny", what a good sentence! "Willing to follow destiny and be the servant of destiny; unwilling to lead destiny and be the master of destiny", Mr. Zhou Guoping added, "I am willing to walk with destiny and keep reconciling with destiny". The pessimistic nature of destiny and the unpredictable nature of the world sometimes make us unable to choose and enslave our own destiny. The love and persistence of life, the exploration and pursuit of truth and wisdom make us always full of enthusiasm and strive to create And control more of your own destiny. In the end, between pessimism and persistence, between hatred and indifference, we choose to walk with destiny and reach reconciliation with destiny.

Perhaps this is the so-called detachment? Perhaps this is the wisdom of life and the truth of life, right?

An Unfinished Life quotes

  • Jean Gilkyson: I flipped a coin. Griffin fliped a coin and I lost. So I was the one who was driving. It was 3 o'clock in the morning and we were both tired. We wanted to make it in time for the rodeo in Great Falls.

  • Jean Gilkyson: I killed him, Einar. Is that what you wanna hear? It wasn't the change in our pockets, or the weak ass coffee, or the rain. It was me. I fell asleep and I flipped the car six times. I killed Griffin. He had no argument from me. You think it's something I forget. You think that I'm not sick with it, that I hate my life? But I tried to keep living, and you haven't. Is that why you hate me so much? You know, you act like I killed you when Griffin died.
