If you can set a benchmark for life, between the reason for living and the appeal of death

No coffee, no snacks, just opened the movie so hastily.
I won't say much about the plot, it's very simple and direct, but also very vague, but if you don't think about your life for a long time, the train can be used as an appetizer, of course, bittersweet and sweet.
If we know that, we can enrich our spiritual culture and make our knowledge rich enough to be admired by thousands of people, but when our fantasy life is very different from reality, and it makes us miserable, would you still be willing to do your best to explore everything you want? ? Maybe many people will answer like me: how do you know without experience.
The proposition adds another hypothesis: Suffering is so painful that only suicide can relieve it.
To be honest, the answer may be mixed or even need to rethink everything.
Our life may be sandwiched between these two benchmarks, the unremitting faith life and the unrestrained letting go. We live in the midst of both, struggling to move forward, and as long as we don't get close to the extreme, the feelings of pleasure and pain will always be there at the same time.
The movie itself is a benchmark, it reminds us that we, who are wandering day after day, can prove that we are still alive, living with intuition, dreams and revenge, no matter whether the reality is cruel or not, regardless of history. It doesn’t matter if we repeat it, let alone whether we can conquer ourselves or not. In short, it may be the best if we don’t touch the edge of the thinking universe, believe in our own life, and live strong.
