Absurd and abandoned struggle

The pain of not being understood, the dilemma of communication, poor Alain.

Recently, I read "The Myth of Sisyphus" according to the film list of the solo exhibition. I talked about the ridiculous feelings of all things in comparison after awakening, and the relationship between absurdity and suicide. (Absurdity: It can also be understood as the feeling that everything is meaningless)

This feeling—at first you worked step by step in this world, suddenly one day you jumped out of this world, began to observe and doubt this world, from then on, the world has returned to its own orbit, and you can never go back. Up.

As the movie said: "Since you were stabbed by the sun, you have been fighting against the darkness."

This kind of feeling, others will say: This is the throes of youth, we have all grown up, but you did not. But we know from the bottom of our hearts that this is not the case. Once the sense of separation between man and the world occurs, it cannot be taken away until death.

People will ask for help when they are in pain, friends, lovers, people who love you wholeheartedly but can't help you, but it's a pity that communication is mostly meaningless. Meaningless communication pulls your relationship apart, compassion and compassion make you angry, and worry about your suicide pushes you to death.

Poor Alain.

It is guilty to speak coldly to someone who has lost hope, but a well-meaning friend is innocent, so the hatred that is pityed but not understood cannot be dispelled.

Suicide is not the result of absurdity. It is a death that can dissolve the absurdity quickly after giving up resistance.

Alain was treated in the hospital for several months, and this arrangement was very acceptable. He struggled before drinking, and drinking was also a struggle, forgetting the pain with dizziness. But in the hospital, the arranged days do not need to be doubted about what to do every day, as if they have created another world where they work step by step.

But when he was about to leave, he returned to the world that had been separated from him. His struggle began to pale and weak. His anger made him appear abnormal, and then he gave up honorably.

He has a handsome appearance, and I even doubt whether this handsome appearance is used to divert the attention of most people and give them psychological comfort. For example: People who pay too much attention to appearance will not be able to stand it when they lose attention.

Because when he repeatedly recalled his young and handsome appearance, it was like when we recalled the sunny, carefree childhood, those days of unconsciously living in the world.

It will leave you with indelible pain. Being pityed because of not being understood is the greatest pain, and he can give up fighting because of this. This is the case, because the only possible connection between me and this divided world is friends.

Finally, we attribute all the absurdity to the demise of love, which is a romantic appearance that can cover everything.

  • Alain Leroy: François Mignac, a model Parisian. In bed at 3:00am. Riding from 9:00 to 11:00. Then off to the stock exchange, to win or lose a quick million. Business lunch. Some time at the office. A woman. A few drinks. Dinner out. A nightclub. Then he starts over again. Twenty years, and he still loves it!
