--Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967)
There are some people who have a beast in their hearts, it is angry, manic, depressed, it bites your internal organs with sharp teeth, it will make you whole Ruined. Even though he was as strong as a god, he was still tormented by it.
There are also people who have roses in their hearts, and the beasts were once drunk with these roses. Rocky put the photo of his deceased wife Adrian on the head of the bed, sat at the grave every morning and looked back on the past, and then went to run the restaurant named after Adrian, telling the guests the story of fighting for himself and Adrian back then... Once tamed The rose of his beast exists only in these memories.
So brother-in-law Paulie blamed him for living in the world of the past and unwilling to look forward. Rocky knew the problem wasn't there, he wasn't someone who didn't charge forward, someone else was making him unhappy. Rocky said part of what he wanted to say when the Boxing Sports Council was reluctant to issue a boxing license to Rocky, who had passed the physical test but was in his 60s. He asked: lf you're willin' to go through the battling to get to where you wanna get, who's got the right to stop you?
The son also came out to stop him, and the person with half of Rocky's genes couldn't understand him until Rocky shouted his resentment: The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and it don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life but it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! (The world isn't all sunshine and rainbows, it's a mean and mean place, no matter how strong you are, it will knock you to your knees and never climb Get up. You, me, no one can beat it, but it's not how well you can fight, it's how well you can take a beating and keep going, that's the only way to win!) How can you bow your head? But he would never resent the man who carried his love with Adrian, and that he was dissatisfied with someone else.
When Rocky sat again at Adrian's tomb, the enemies that left him dissatisfied were here, aging and death, taking part of him.
Rocky is going to fight to get these back.
Training...
fighting...
getting down ... getting
up...
PUNCH! PUNCH! PUNCH!
Cheers...
he finally got the beast out.
Come back, or let's go together. When Rocky placed the new bouquet on Adrian's headstone and said goodbye in three steps, the Beast was finally able to sniff the roses.
And just like that, we all forgot about the tombstone.
