Only through the pain of the skin can we truly find ourselves.

Sometimes you don't realize your full self until a part of you dies.

——————————————The ending of the movie "Miracle of Snow Mountain"

Recently, I watched "The Wilderness" directed by Sean Penn ; " The Miracle of the Snowy Mountains" directed by Scott Waugh ; It conveys such a theme: to heal the wounded heart, find oneself, and cleanse the soul, one must experience the pain of life and death. Otherwise, people are easy to forget.

All three films are based on true stories. In "The Wilderness Survival", Christopher (Emile Hirsch) has a privileged family. After graduating from a prestigious university, he insisted on going to Alaska to find himself despite his family's opposition. In "Miracle on the Snowy Mountains", Olympic ice hockey player Eric Lemark gets lost while skiing, and after eight days of struggling to survive, he finally has a new understanding of his life. "Out of the Wild" is adapted from the autobiography of the same name by American writer Cheryl Thred. After experiencing family setbacks such as marriage failure, he decided to hike the wilderness alone to find himself. Of course, when a person faces the cruel nature of nature, they experience the limit of survival, and they are even one step away from death. But in the end, they all truly found themselves through physical starvation, depletion, and chaotic behavior. I don't think Eric in "Miracle on the Snow" will ever do drugs again. Christopher in "Survival in the Wilderness" will definitely treat his parents and himself well from now on, and Cheryl Thred in "Out of the Wilderness" must have walked out of the shadow of pain and truly started a new life.

Why do people live?

To experience and experience. Experience success and failure, joys and sorrows, life, old age, sickness and death; experience the beauty of life and fully understand the true meaning and value of life.

For this dream. In order to realize their own ideals, pursuits, goals, desires and values.

However, life is more complicated than dreams. In real life, how can there be so much happiness for us to experience? The chaos of crowds and the intricacies of reality make it easy for us to lose ourselves. Therefore, we need to stay away from the hustle and bustle, return to peace and loneliness, and find our true self. However, the sharp edge of the sword emerges from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Without going through a bit of cold, how can the plum blossom be fragrant! The process of finding oneself is also the same. If you want to truly forget your troubles and pains, you must use greater troubles and pains to erode and cover them up; if you want to have precious qualities or beautiful talents, you must go through many tests before you can get them; To regain one's self and courage, one must do things that one has never done or dare not do, because only in the process of constant challenge can one regain courage; similarly, one wants to redeem one's physical and mental sins , then you need to pay more pain to fully understand.

In a word, if we do not overcome certain difficulties and endure some pain, we will not have real changes.

I admire the adventurous spirit of Westerners and the courage to challenge themselves. A person who can face his heart will definitely be rich in spirit; a person who can face loneliness and cruelty will definitely be a strong person in life. Of course, the protagonists in several films are people who face their hearts and loneliness. We will not be lonely only in our own world. But the real problem is: we only have our own world, but it is difficult to survive, so we live and eat loneliness, but we are stripped alive by it.

Introspection is to face decisions by yourself, awakening is to awaken by yourself, and courage is to challenge yourself.

Life is an experience, an experience. Experience is the most precious wealth in life, and this wealth cannot be bought with money. For us ordinary people, any kind of experience may become a key condition for you to create extraordinary achievements; any experience and experience are the steps for us to move forward, and any experience is a kind of accumulation, the more accumulated , the more mature a person ; the more experience, the more thickness of life. If a person has no experience and experience, his life is over. However, life is short and experiences are limited. We cannot passively accept experiences and experiences. We should take the initiative to seek and create experiences. Only in this way will our lives be more fulfilling and prosperous.

learn from mistakes. If you don't eat a moat, you won't grow your wisdom. Under the conditions that his life could not be guaranteed, Eric Lemarck realized how abhorrent drug use was. It was this difficult situation that made him resolutely dump the white powder in the plastic bag. He knew that after eight days of baptism of death, he should have understood how to live and how to revere life. Cheryl Thred's experience of hiking in the wilderness was actually a farewell to his chaotic and hopeless life. The people and things he experienced along the way allowed him to bid farewell to his past, and at the same time, he also understood how to deal with it. attitude to live.

I think that if we want to find ourselves, heal our wounds, and live anew, we have to experience some loneliness, travel, and rebirth. Other than that, there is no other way.
