If you wake up one morning and you find that starting from opening your eyes, everything that happens next and everyone you meet is exactly the same as yesterday. That is to say, yesterday is today, today is tomorrow, and you are under a spell. What would you do if you were "trapped" on the same day?
On this day, you can do all the good things, wrong things, stupid things, and bad things nonchalantly. It doesn’t matter. Your little construction or destruction will not be traced at all in the "second day", because waiting for you Open your eyes, and everything repeats the beginning. People won't have the impression of "yesterday". "Today" is a brand new day for people, but for you, it is unbearable to repeat the same mistakes. Yesterday’s mistakes may be remedied today, but today’s wonderful tomorrow cannot continue. What will you do?
From inexplicable to consternation and panic, from initial confusion to boredom after laughing games, from struggle to despair, even death cannot prevent this from happening. What will you do?
Can you seriously and actively invest in this same day? Can you take the trouble to do one thing every day from scratch? Can you discover new ideas like this in this day that seems to be well-knowing? If your answer is yes, when you don’t have illusions and only ask about hard work, miracles suddenly descend like snowflakes in the sky, and you will find that now is a brand-new you, a brand-new world, and an endless prospect of tomorrow. , And these are what you "steal" back from the same "every day" with tenacity and hard work!
This is the storyline of the film "Fucking the Heaven". The funny American filmed the protagonist’s horrible troubles to make people laugh. After the ridiculousness was over, people had to think about it, and they found it in the pirated video discs in the old grocery store next to the vegetable market. It's really unexpected to me to get such a good film. Watching movies was originally a boring choice for me, but because of this seemingly ridiculous good story, I, who was lazily lying on the sofa, couldn’t help but straighten up and sit up and ask myself: You, repeat the same daily life for you. ,what to do?
From school to society, I got rid of endless homework and endless test questions. Every day, my schedule is to go to get off work, work, eat and sleep. At the beginning, I was very happy because I was "free" after eight hours. I could watch TV, read books, go shopping, and do many things I want to do and not do. But soon, I got tired of this kind of sloppy freedom. I was vain about things every day. I looked back on the passing time inadvertently, and realized that I had been stopping there and repeating the dull schedule and wasted time. When I realized that my current and future life may be such a repetition, just like the hero in the play, despair and fear will suddenly be like a shadow that cannot be shaken off, firmly entrenched in my heart.
what to do? what to do? !
I tried to struggle, and even worked out a plan like Monday to Sunday in detail, arranging what to learn every day. But every day that seems to be the same, it feels so boring, and my starting point seems so far away from my goal! "Questions" such as this began to arise: Why did the things I did well yesterday look bad today? Are these things I made today useless? Oh, do you have to do this tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? ! I've been working hard for a long time, why don't I seem to see any results? Oh, so-and-so poured cold water on me today, should I listen to other people's opinions? This seems to be too troublesome to do. Maybe it would be easier to change to other things, right? Anyway, don't worry, there is still time tomorrow, can you take a break and wait until tomorrow? ... Whenever I encountered difficulties, the pressure from myself turned into a dingy retreat, and I gave myself so-called freedom again. Checking it out every now and then, it turns out that reality does not admit to my sly shame, and I am still trapped. Impetuously complaining about the dullness of life, as if seeing myself being so reluctant but unable to live the same boring day, in a fixed and limited space, everything is stagnant, only time does not change. I slipped away from my side, as I walked through my mediocre life with the sunrise and sunset. Talking to others about my troubles, they will always give me the same answer with a surprised expression: life is actually like this, what tricks do you want to play? I didn't understand it.
What I do more is just complaining, complaining why God didn’t give me a colorful life, why not give me a moving and rich experience, why not give me good luck, why I am destined to live in this ordinary life In the crowd, why didn’t I have those legendary talents that made me easy to do it all at once? Without clear ideals and goals, and no action in words and deeds, I was trapped in constant complaining, annoyance, trying, and failing like a curse. , In the cocoon of discouragement, but time still passes quietly in between.
Looking at the protagonist in the story working tirelessly in the same day, we can see that what is being overturned and re-emerged is nothing more than the unimportant things around me, and my hard work perseveres and accumulates to others’ constantly refreshing re-understanding of myself. The protagonist secretly applauds for his efforts, and I can only be ashamed of my depression. Isn’t it? From the intermittent monophonic to the smooth and cheerful music, from the broken ice ball to the lifelike statue, it is only ten seconds of camera switching on the screen, but from sowing to harvesting, the effort in the process of farming is unimaginable What I need is the courage and perseverance that I can’t realize by imagination, but I have always refused to face it.
Why don't you understand that Rome was not built overnight. If you don't learn how to cut the distant target into small pieces of action and share it over the seemingly ordinary and tedious day, all ideals are just empty talk mirages. Looking aside the surface of life's mediocrity, we can see that all the efforts will not be wasted.
Acknowledging the ordinaryness of life and facing the dullness of reality, can you learn to resist the temptation of illusion with firmness and patience, and always move towards the goal? Why not imagine that you are the protagonist of the Heaven Stealing Curse, and with incomparable courage and hard work, stage a life drama that feels your own.
