Living every day is the meaning of life

I spent the whole afternoon doing work yesterday and found that the expected results were not achieved at all, and I was very depressed.

I watched a movie in the evening, "The Angryest Man in Brooklyn" starring the late comedy star Robin Williams. The film tells that Henry Altman, a lawyer played by Robin Williams, was in a car accident and cursed all the way to the hospital. The surrogate female doctor (Mila Kunis) read Henry's report and found that he had suffered from a cerebral aneurysm and was in a critical condition. After experiencing her emotional problems, the female doctor encountered Henry chattering and aggressively asking her how long she could live. She was completely irritated and told Henry out of control that she could only live up to 90 minutes. Henry rushed out of the hospital in great anger and panic. He hoped to make up for the regrets in his life in the few remaining 90 minutes: rushing home with flowers, making a final confession to his wife; trying to find what has already been done. The son who broke the relationship between father and son. When walking in the city, the past happy time is vivid and vivid.

Henry and his son ridiculed his tombstone in the last days to write "Henry Altman 1951-2014". He said that the greatest meaning of life is not the last days, but the part of the dash. (Actor Robin Williams was born in 1951 and died by suicide due to depression in August 2014.)

When watching this film, I burst into tears. If one day I or my family encounter such misfortune, how will we face the rest of our lives, I feel sad and depressed.

However, our mood and body have a strong resilience.

On Saturday, I felt sore from the palm of my right hand to my wrist. On Sunday, the pain became worse and my wrist was sore and numb. I couldn't stop complaining in my heart, what was going on, it didn't matter, I couldn't do anything. When I woke up on Monday morning, my hand didn't seem to hurt much. I don't seem to feel any abnormalities anymore today.

The mood is too. From last night to this morning when I was eating, I felt depressed and depressed. Sometimes I wonder whether what I am doing is really meaningful and worthwhile.

The sun is shining today, walking on the road, the body seems to have absorbed the energy of the sun, and the mood is also cheerful. I think of Kono Etsuko in the "Proofreading Girl", full of energy doing things that others find useless. She said, " Even if no one praises you, no one agrees with you, you must do your best to complete the work. So from now on From now on, we will also do what others consider to be useless. "

Japanese drama "School Girl Etsuko Kono"

Now that I think about it, it may be time to adjust the measurement standards. It is meaningless to use the results to measure the process.

Life is a process. We do our best to live the "dash" part between the beginning and the end. That's what makes sense.
