How much material does a person need to live?
People can live with minimal material conditions, without big lobsters, sushi, or drinks with ice. Hanks had been on the island for four years, eating coconuts (a natural laxative), crabs (no meat), and raw fish. Didn't he still survive? We have enough food and clothing, but we still keep buying this and that, do we really need it? Do we need a Porsche if we want to travel? The public can do it too. Why buy a Porsche? Because it gives us a sense of glory. But is the feeling of glory really a "natural" feeling? It is a feeling cultivated and inspired by group life. Similarly, the food must be sweet, the clothing must be luxurious, the residence must be brilliant, and the wife must be beautiful, etc. These are all the effects of social life on people. If we live alone, do we still need these? We should need its practicality more than its grade. Lovers should also bring us peace and happiness is the most important thing. This passage talks about how we should treat material desires and partners. That is, we should calmly discover that the psychology of "things must seek luxury" is the product of comparison. A lot of anxiety is also motivated in this way.
But what should one do if one loses a lover?
People need to be accompanied by others. The person who accompanies us all our life is our lover. During his four years on the island, Hanks was accompanied by "Welcome". Although it was just a broken football, Hanks felt like being accompanied by others and chatting with him, not so. alone. And the reason why Hanks wanted to go back was partly because it was safe to go back and not as bad as the health conditions on the island. The bigger reason is to go back to Kelly. As a result, Kelly has married someone else.
How to deal with a lover who has married someone else and gave birth to a child? Have good memories, and still love each other. There is no way, love may not be able to be together. They are married and have children. The growth of children requires healthy families, healthy education and role models. If Kelly abandons her current husband, it will look very selfish. Both the husband and the children are innocent. So although you are in love, you cannot meet again. How to cross this hurdle? Facing the future, who knows what the next wave will hit?
People have to follow through. Is this kind of value the biggest shackles in the fetters of the heart? It should not be. I can't let go because I really love each other. Can't hold hands because they really can't. Why not look away. Regarding this relationship as one stage of life, we still have the next stage.
How do people face "alive"? If you can't decide where you live, you can't even decide where and how to die. How should we view "living in a crowd"? How should we face "alive"? To live, you must understand that you will die at any time. If it is not supported by powerful modern technology, it is really dangerous to live. But technology should not become a hotbed for our wanton indulgence, nor should it cover our eyes, nor should we think that we are strong in the face of nature and destiny. Knowing that you are actually on the verge of death, you can even feel free to breathe. You will understand what you want to have when you start from scratch. After all, if you understand your powerlessness, you will definitely pursue what you need most first. Don't rectify those empty-headed things. Since you may lose everything you have in front of you at any time, including your relatives, friends and lovers, of course you should treat them kindly. Take care of your own mouth, don't hurt them and regret it yourself. I have taken care of the most important things in life, so what is there to worry about about other things? Then we must live calmly, including death, there is nothing worthy of our discomfort. Work calmly, study calmly, work calmly, get along with friends calmly, get along with your lover calmly, and get along with family calmly. Because calmness is wisdom and comfort. Calmness and determination is the ideal state of living. Don't panic, don't feel inferior, don't be blind, don't indulge, don't be superficial. Persevere, dare to take responsibility, empathize, and implement what you think is right. We will not regret this life.
This is a cliché, but how many people have done it?
