"Twelve monkeys", shot in the 90s, the picture is rough. But it is still unforgettable.
Almost all stories about time travel can't escape the endless loop of chicken laying eggs. The protagonist follows some clues back to the past to find the source, but finds that these clues are all left behind because of his own wrong experience. Going back to the past cannot change history. Perhaps history has its own mode of operation, only once and cannot repeat itself. Any attempt to change history is futile and can only bring everything back to its original point.
There is no utopia in this world, let alone perfection. Instead of traveling through time and space to save the world, it is better to live in the present and look at the sea. I like this saying.
People live a lifetime, except for waiting to die, they only do two things. Walk, and choose the way to walk.
You will never know what will happen if you choose the other side. Maybe the situation will be completely different, but it has nothing to do with you at all.
The Buddha said that people have three poisons: greed, hatred, and ignorance.
Too paranoid and don't understand what you like, hate and don't know at all.
The obsession is complicated, we are in pain. When things come, they should, and things go without leaving. Unwilling to refuse, I believe more and more in definite numbers.
