About loneliness

Although I am only in my twenties this year, I feel that this year is the loneliest time for me. It was at this time that I watched this movie and wrote this review.

After watching the movie, in the last scene, the protagonist stands at a fork in the road, just like me today. The movie I saw was not about survival, but about loneliness and choice.

When Chuck exiled to the island, he broke away from his former selfless work and was forced to be alone with himself. People are often willing to devote themselves to busy work and avoid being idle, because once people are idle and alone, they will ask deep down, what is the meaning of life? When you start thinking about this problem, it is like entering an endless abyss, never ending, and sinking deeper and deeper.

What is the meaning of life? Does the answer exist? I have been looking for it, but I'm not sure.

Recently, I heard a video of law teacher Luo Xiang saying: "Why are you afraid of being alone? When you are alone, you will hear the voice in your heart. This voice in your heart will constantly ask you, what is your life? What do you want to do? How do you live is meaningful. When this voice keeps asking you, you feel irritable, you feel anxious, because you always have this kind of sound in your ears, so you will block your ears , Don’t tell me, when the voice is quiet, you will feel empty and confused again. You are always in confusion, emptiness and anxiety, repeating it again and again. Then most people will choose to refuse the deepest questioning. So you will choose to use busyness to fight against this voice, entertain, work, and indulge. Keep busy to fight against the voice deep in your heart. Then only if you can truly answer the questions deep in your heart, you can truly You can enjoy this tranquility by enjoying aloneness, but it is difficult. I feel I have the answer, but I don’t want to tell everyone that this is the answer in my own heart, but I hope I can confirm this answer. It allows me to be calm, to be alone, to be able to be alone without fear, to be able to enjoy alone, to be calm and quiet in the busy."

Can we really find this answer? Does Luo Xiang find it means we can find it too? Will the youth have passed by the time you find it, the flowers on the roadside have been missed, and the people close to them are gone? I'm not sure.

Hu Shi talked about the meaning of life in the article "An Answer to a King": "Life has no meaning. If you can give him any meaning, he will have any meaning. Instead of meditating on the meaning of life all day long, it is better to try this life to make something meaningful. Things...It is said that life is like a dream. Life is only a dream, but there is only this opportunity to dream in your life. How can you try to have a vigorous and vigorous dream? How can you be confused and confused? Year?" Hu Shi's meaning couldn't be more clear. The meaning of life is not thought out, but made out. After you do it, the meaning comes out naturally. I thought this was the answer I wanted. However, before long, I will inevitably fall back into the endless torture of the meaning of life. When you do not have a direction, confusion is inevitable, and the torture of life is inevitable.

So do we really need to be alone, or do we really need so much alone? Chuck in the movie is on a desert island. He can survive by talking to Ball Welson. He broke into tears twice because of the loss of Welson. Human is a kind of social animal. We should be in the crowd by nature. There must be communication and contact and relationship with other people to conform to the physiology.

Zhang Chu has a song "It's Shameful to be Lonely". When I heard this song, I was deeply attracted, because everyone told you that you have to enjoy loneliness and learn to be alone. Just like everyone tells you the sinister society, what kind of indifference and hypocrisy you have to learn, but no one tells you to learn to be naive and naive. You learn the skills to deal with society, but you lose pure happiness.

So how should life be, how to deal with loneliness, how to deal with aloneness, how to be calm and full of motivation, how to be complacent and see ourselves clearly, we are always looking for the answer, always moving forward, sometimes you step back, but you can’t Stop your steps.
