Exactly as the title says: Man Of War.
For war, everyone is a victim, not just the weak.
It's hard to say whether the so-called powerhouses suffer more or less damage than ordinary people, I can only say...different.
In war, everyone is a victim, not only "good people".
"Bad people" also yearn for a better life. They are called "bad people" only because they choose different paths. But what's more tragic than the "good guys" is that these paths are largely incapable of their own choice, and many people see the failures at the end of the road early at the beginning of the road - they can only watch them helplessly. Step by step from prophecy to reality, watching dreams and visions finally shattered by those inescapable failures - this feels like an amputation without anesthesia.
They have no choice, so they can only get away with it or think in self-preservation: It's not a good way, but it might work. After thinking this way for a long time, gradually, some people have successfully deceived themselves: this is indeed a feasible way, as long as you work hard. But when failure is inevitable, they eventually wake up from the nightmare and fall into another nightmare again.
At the moment of standing at the critical point, many times you will suddenly feel at a loss:
what is it that you love? What have you been chasing for? Is all this in front of you what you have been fighting for your life for a long time? Is it worth it to pay so much? Is this the legendary victory? Why am I not happy at all? Why wasn't I the one
who died... The thing that once hated and resisted finally left him one day, but suddenly found that he had nothing left.
And the final conclusion is always only one: the reality in front of you cannot be chosen, these are determined by what has happened, and what has happened cannot be changed.
What if you were given a time machine? What if there was a choice?
choose? Just choose a different branch of fate. And what are the differences between the different branches?
Besides, can we really make a different choice? I am skeptical.
Destiny can be changed, or it can be chosen. But what has happened cannot be changed. We can only choose our own destiny in the future.
In fact, these thoughts are meaningless - not so much to find answers, but to create answers to meet one's own (psychological) needs - which is no different from masturbation.
Yes, only life goes on...with eternal pain.
