The Great Gatsby: Everyone is an empty boat

In the afternoon, the program was written for a long time, and the car was ticketed. Triple tickets are really expensive, 72 dollars a vote. Still considering whether to lay the bill again, anyway, Lai has not been involved in the fine from the state. I ran out for sales at 4, and ran 7 or 8 stores two hours later. Some were closed. Some of them put a smile on their faces and turned away when they heard that I was here to sell. Only one girl listened for a while and found it interesting for me to stay. Business cards and leaflets. So before leaving, I asked her to read the leaflet with her boss, and called me directly if she wanted to, trying to get her to actually show the material to the boss from 5% to 6%.

At six o'clock, I decided to go watch a movie and relax. Today seems to be the great Gatsby, and got a ticket to sit in. With 3D eyes holding hair, secretly hope that it will be a blockbuster. Otherwise, why would a literary film need 3D glasses? It will be cool to come to a 3D world-beating action movie when you are tired on the weekend.

Everyone must know that the great Gatsby is a sad tragedy. Although the movie has a tight rhythm, 3D is completely useless. Gatsby pursued the goddess, ran out of property, and ran out of parties in order to attract the attention of the goddess. As a result, after carrying a car accident for the goddess, he was framed to death by the goddess and her husband together. In the end, the goddess did not go to Gatsby's funeral.

It's too muddy.

Gai Diaosi fell in love with the goddess, but the goddess He Nai was nothing and destroyed Diaosi on his way to counterattack.

Reminds me of Zen Habits' article the other day. The original text is to teach people how to get along with their own bear children. The article said, imagine that you are rowing a boat in the heavy fog, trying to discern the direction, and trying to row one oar by oar. At this time, a small boat suddenly rushed out of the fog and hit him. When I am surprised, am I angry? If you take a closer look and find that the boat is empty, is it not so angry? If you take a closer look and find that there is actually someone in the boat, do you start to get angry again?

It's the same boat, with no people and no one, so much influence on oneself. In fact, people in the world are all empty boats. Although they seem to have the ability to be autonomous, they are actually pushing and shoving for the various waves of reality. The person who grabs the road doesn't hate you, he will grab it at that moment when he changes to another car, because he has something important at the time or simply is in a bad mood. The same goes for a teacher who is angry with you. If you change to anyone, she will be angry. They are all empty boats, pushed by waves on the misty sea.

Gatsby's goddess is also such a small boat, with her own passions, and perhaps parents and social pressure. Her behavior couldn't be more humane. Gatsby's problem is that he uses a flat boat as a constant beacon. The consequence is to kneel after hitting the rocks. It is impossible for Daisy to show off his beacon-like willpower and self-control. It is estimated that few people have been able to do this since ancient times. I was very impressed with a sentence in the trailer of a certain movie I watched before. One person asked: How could these people be like this? Another person replied: Because they are ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. What do you hope to see? Is it decent? Grace?

I was scolded by my teacher when I was a child, and then I felt particularly incompetent. There are so many shortcomings that others will not wait to see! The whole is a denial of one's own life. I liked a girl when I was in elementary school, but the goddess has always hated me for no reason. When I was watching a movie today, I still felt that Daisy was like that girl back then. When I was in elementary school, I thought that the girl I liked was the Statue of Liberty. If the Lady Liberty didn't like herself for no reason, it would be too tragic. After growing up, if someone honked the horn while driving, he would consciously have a problem; if he was rejected for sales, he would consciously have a problem with sales or a problem with the product.

But judging yourself with the opinions of others is like Gatsby using a goddess to dominate his life. That is to use the flat boat as a lighthouse, and sooner or later die on the rocks.

The actual situation is: the world is an empty boat, pushing and pushing all kinds of waves.
