What Could The Tide Bring?

If I were tossed on a desert island where no snakes and rats exist, I will struggle to survive, but maybe I don't have the ability and luck to survive. Life is so small, yet so persistent and tenacious. Ideas and beliefs support the human soul. The fork of life, the fork of life, DO OR DIE, what we need is courage and confidence.

I found the 2000 film "CAST AWAY" by TOM HANKS. After watching it intermittently, I was shocked by the indescribable! CHUCK, a FEDEX employee who believes in "THE WORLD IS ON TIME", has been running around all day long and has been weather-beaten. In an air crash during an express delivery, the tide brought him dying to a deserted island. He began a Robinsonian life, feeding on coconuts and crabs all day. Desperate and lonely, he even thought of death. His only partner is blood-stained volleyball WILSON. The only romance is to use a flashlight at night to shine a photo of his fiancee KELLY. The struggle with life for 1500 days made him choose to try to escape from the island, but the sea washed away WILSON and knocked him down. A big ship passed by, and there was an extra hand to survive on the screen.

In the face of despair, CHUCK could only make a heart-wrenching cry. And when he succeeded in drilling wood to make fire, hope and excitement rose higher and higher with the flame. I understand what it means to put a dead place and live, and put a dead place to live. I understand what hope means for people to survive. It turned out that I thought that there were teeth other than love, but now I understand that teeth can be extracted, but love is absolutely impossible.

Life is full of variables. Perhaps the ideal you have longed for day and night loses its flavor when it is truly realized, just like everything CHUCK faced after he came back fortunately. His identity is revoked, his girlfriend is now a wife, and the delicious lobster has no feeling for him. The flame that can be ejected with one click was an "old friend" he had found so hard to find. Everything was once a vision. And now it’s like that CONFUSING.

I still appreciate the words of CHUCK: I'm so sad that I don't have Kelly, but I'm so grateful she was with me on that island. And I know what I have to do now... gotta keep breathing, because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring.
