1. Live in order to pursue power and success, in order to gain the much-anticipated respect and glory.
This is Frank Underwood's answer, he tirelessly Calculating the positions of Secretary of State, Vice President, and even planning to ascend the throne of President. His actions answered How, so did he ask himself why, why should he be Secretary of State, Vice President, even if he became President and served two consecutive terms, so what? Isn't it about retiring, facing a ticking clock and an aging body? The reason why Frank climbed up desperately, I think it was his aversion to being ruled and being manipulated. I remember that when he returned to his hometown to settle the big peaches, he was going to the memorial of the dead girl to lobby her parents. The bodyguard Mitcham said "sir, I won't allow you to go to that crowd", and Frank immediately retorted, "allow me?" He hated anyone telling him what to do and what not to do, even if it is the most impossible A bodyguard who threatens oneself, out of his own safety considerations. Become the president and climb to the peak of power, you can control people, manipulate people, and give orders.
Not only did he not want to be controlled by others, but he didn't even want to be controlled by time. So he worked hard, not believing that he would get old. This is why he and Zoe slept. Once, Zoe asked him, "If you only want to find a girl to help you, you have achieved your goal, why do you want to sleep with me? You don't enjoy it! Obviously I am not enjoying it either! Those I pretend to be "At this moment, I found the answer. He had a relationship with the young Zoe, just to prove that he was not old! ! ! It is still the same as before, and it can even satisfy young women. In addition to the physical proof, he used his alma mater to build a library named after him to prevent the world from forgetting him. Power cannot stop the erosion of time, maybe a building can? But the wise man also knew that in fifty years, this library would be replaced by someone else's building, and today. But don't care about him! That is fifty years later.
This is also the answer of his wife Claire. When Claire and her husband left home for Adam Galloway because of the quarrel over the river basin bill, they hysterically said "I want to be significant!" She wanted to become a pivotal figure, and she wanted to win people's respect, so she chose To find out
the reason for Frank, Frank is the direct owner of power, and Claire is a vassal of power. Power has brought so many benefits to her water purification plan. Without power, there will be no power and the ability to solve problems. So what Claire falls in love with is the security that power brings and the courage that does not need to fear hardships.
2. To live for pleasure, to feel good.
This is Peter Russo's answer. When the basin law aborted, Frank asked him to turn to natural gas mining. He went to the cancer research party to talk to Remy about building a factory in Philadelphia. After the success, he was overjoyed and felt great! Spiritually, being in politics gave him a sense of accomplishment, and running for governor made him deceive himself. Now he can finally put aside the closure of the shipyard, sorry for the guilt of the fathers and villagers, and can start again! Physically, he disregarded his love with Christina and slept with Rachel. He disregarded his promise and drank, just to get instant happiness. When he messed up the interview and completely failed, he told himself loudly: It's over! In order to make himself feel better, he numbs himself with alcohol, he hides to escape the problem, he surrenders to the police station, he confesses everything, just to fight despair and guilt, and make himself feel better. Unfortunately, such a temperament cost him his life.
3. Living is for love, responsibility and beauty.
This is Christina's answer. She loves Peter. Even though that is a man with so many shortcomings, she has truly persisted. When the world abandons Peter, she still Holding his hand, supporting and encouraging him, this is true love, not Peter’s kind of "feeling good and warm with her" kind of warm attachment, or the mutual benefit of the Underwood couple. Get the desired net of interest. After Peter's death, she endured her grief, stuck to her position in the Binzhou office, and shouldered her responsibilities to the citizens of the electoral district. How can the husband ask for a wife like this? Unfortunately, Peter doesn't know how to cherish.
This is also Adam Galleway’s answer. A photographer was taking photos of the suffering of the people in Africa. From the photos, it can be seen that he has deep sympathy for these Africans. When he walked with Claire, he admired it. A woman who resembled Claire when she was young, said she was full of curiosity. According to Claire, he was "live moment to moment". The moment the photographer pressed the shutter was to capture beauty. He has been waiting for Claire for many years, showing his deep affection and love.
This is also the answer of the old classmate of Frank Military Academy. Although he was only a trivial supporting role, he left a deep impression on me. In the episode when Frank returned to his alma mater, a classmate who was a young man who sold retirement insurance promoted his insurance to Frank. He also said, "Congressmen buy my insurance, then I will have a lot of face in the company", but that classmate was right. Frank's attitude was not flattering or flattering. He only said that he had opened a kayaking company, accompanied by the canoe and white waves, and invited Frank to go rafting, purely out of friendship. He likes drifting because drifting makes him only think about the present and the present. He can fall in love with every minute and every second of life now, and will not sacrifice the happiness of the present for the glory of the future.
Zoe would not hesitate to betray himself in order to climb up, but at that point he was afraid of being used, destroyed, and transferred to the embrace of others. It was not for love, but because he was not as strong and capable as Frank. I had no choice but to be steady and took advantage of the male reporter's love for her.
There is no superior attitude to life. Frank will laugh at Peter’s weakness. Peter will laugh at Frank’s tiredness, sadness, depression, and hypocrisy. Frank will think that love and feelings are nothing but a life-saving straw for the weak to deceive themselves and others in a cruel and merciless world. , It's worthless, Christina would think that Frank would spend his whole life with things outside of him, and eventually become empty. Whether the shoes fit or not, only the feet know, and we will eventually make our own choices...
