Free will either hinders or pushes you to achieve your life's purpose

I think the author may be trying to tell people that God may not be your answer, but at the end there is no way to conclusively prove that all this is not fulfilling GOD's purpose. This probably reflects the ambiguity between belief and the Creator in modern civilization. Wanting to believe, to find answers, but because of different backgrounds, personal lives, and the trivialities, banalities, and trials of the non-spiritual part of life, I feel clueless. But ask you shall receive. The three core characters appearing in the movie are all broken, incomplete and hurt to some extent, but because of the sudden intersection of life, there is a possibility and opportunity for life to become better. In the end, the protagonist does not know where the answers came from, and there will be people who question it, and everything is made up. There are many storylines in the world. God always has the script in his hand, and secretly helps pull the strings. I believe that the three people in the movie found each other by no means accidental. After that, healing becomes possible. I like the plot where Kris finds Arlan in exchange for a book for an answer. Some of the questions asked are also questions that catechumens or atheists often ask believers. Regardless of the writer's state of mind and belief when he wrote it, I still liked the answer Arlan gave in the play.
