The seven-pound gospel of the happy prince

I still cried and read the story of "The Happy Prince", which is particularly stupid. At the same time, I was extremely foolish in believing in the fact that before he became a bronze statue, this prince must have been a bastard-even if he were not a bastard, he was probably a rather indifferent guy.

In life, we can't be great people, most of them can only be wilted people-born wilfully, and then die wilfully. We fly to the ground and feel that what we shoulder is family responsibility and social responsibility. We struggle, we go to camp, and for our so-called sense of glory and joy after success, we have completed one success after another. Reality show.

It is difficult to say whether we have gained a lot or lost a lot-because whether you are determined to be a saint or you are determined to be a layman for the rest of your life, in the final analysis, you can be the champion.

Perhaps the dream of the happy prince back then was to be a successful king and to expand the boundaries of the kingdom indefinitely, so that the people could read and farm happily and hold their children. If the child is enough, go to war, show off his power and build perfect martial arts, and if the child is not enough, he will do nothing. If he can’t be a king, he may want to be the CEO of the kingdom and promote his country’s share of the world’s financial market infinitely... In short, the Happy Prince must be a person who wants to succeed. His ambition is not and he has never cared about the poor citizens. It's not about dying of illness, whether there are oranges to eat before dying of illness.

Later, the happy prince was mentally disabled—just like Will Smith in the movie. I think most of the winners in Vanity Fair must be scornful of this movie. Suddenly successful people want to die inexplicably, and before they die, they have to dismantle themselves into pieces and do not engage in wholesale and retail-what is this not brain damage?
In short, the happy prince is brain-dead, and his wife is dead—maybe the brothers and sisters of the father and the queen, in short, the person who is very important to him has died...he discovered that he was indifferent to the lives of others and his preference for his own life, Brought a spiritual punishment for himself.

The Happy Prince’s heart is made of lead. If I remember correctly...

So, the Happy Prince became a bronze statue. Why was it erected? Maybe he, like Will Smith, did retail in "Seven Pounds." ——Perhaps the ending is shocking and tragic, but at least, someone is willing to commemorate him.
And most of the CEOs in the world, WTO, HBO... I'm sorry I don't understand what these are, anyway, no one wants to commemorate them in any way.

The sick child is thirsty and wants to eat oranges, but he can't afford it—how many oranges can you buy for an eye made of a gem?
A person cannot live without a kidney, but if someone is willing to donate, he can win his life again.

A car of oranges or a kidney, we better not use function to measure their value-they reflect the care of a person for others, a person's respect for life, and a person's indifference to the survival of others.

Will Smith can die in any way, but he chose the most painful one—preserving the body as much as possible for donations after death.
What gives him strength, I think, it's not just love.
The seven-pound gospel, he drew courage from the first six feats of good deeds.

I don’t know if the happy prince has a last word to build a bronze statue for himself, but if he has a last word, it is estimated that the pile of gems and gold clothes on his body was also put on it with a thousand warnings-otherwise he still wants to help when he gets to the underworld. How uncomfortable is that others can't do it?

When we live the lives of others as our own, our lives really have weight.
I still believe that the happy prince was not very popular when he was alive, until he became a dead ghost and a bronze statue, I could smell that there was still a very strong human scent on him, steaming and lingering there.
