Happiness is created with hands

Two days ago, I saw a news report that Kim Carey was suffering from depression. He shut himself in the room and kept painting. I also took some of his works, which are really super awesome. A comedian has turned himself into autism. I think this is not an exception. The movie "Joker" I watched two days ago also talked about a similar thing, spreading happiness to the audience, but overdrawing his body and mind.

I have watched the movie "Counterfeit God" before, but I didn't leave too much memory. This time I revisited it, and I have a deeper feeling. Bruce, the protagonist in the play, has encountered a bottleneck in his work. He is not satisfied with the current status quo. He is only a funny off-site reporter. He wants to be a prime time anchor. However, he would only blame the heavens and the others, and never thought about what he is suitable for? There was a big uproar and was fired by the company. Angrily, he kept cursing God, and then God really appeared. God’s approach is to let him be God for a few days and give him divine power, but this divine power is not omnipotent, and can only be dominated by free will.

Then there was a series of funny clips. However, with the supernatural power, all he wanted to do was to bring down his competitors, promote his position, engage in some romantic dates, and by the way agree to the wishes of every prayer. The result was that the whole was out of control, and he also lost the woman Grace who loved him most.

It seems that even if you have the power as powerful as a god, you are not omnipotent, such as love. You can climb Mount Everest in an instant, but if you can't enjoy the climbing process, your life may become a lot boring.

God handed it to Bruce and said, you were created by me, and I know you can bring happiness to the people in Buffalo. This seems to be Bruce's mission and his best destination. Withdrawing the complaint, he began to use his efforts to improve himself, no longer comparing, no longer depressed, the whole person took on a whole new look.

The same is true for me now. I am in a transitional period, facing the unknown of the future, and I am anxious. From time to time, I complain about the unfairness of God and the unfairness of life. Like Bruce, I am incapable of knowing bad things. The point is, what Weng? What horse? This is not clear. To put it bluntly, I just don't know what I like or what I want to do.

Quit mental laziness, cowardice, and anxiety that shouldn't be there.
