learn to live

In the process of watching the film, a thought suddenly popped into my mind: How should I live so that I have no regrets at the moment when any accident that may arise at any time suddenly ends my life?
Human life is supported by many conditions in the world in which it exists. It can be said that it is a kind of cohesive force. It is very tenacious and tenacious. Below is still brilliant. And it is precisely because human life is supported by many conditions in the world in which it exists, and each tentacle is like an anchor dropped by a docked ship on a ferry. If one is broken, its vitality will be weakened once. Weak, it is very soft, and the wind blowing in any direction may make the temperature and light of life disappear into a smoke of unburned regret.
However, anyone who thinks about the meaning of life and life itself, if it weren't for what happened in the life that is steaming hot steam, who would be in the life of money, cars, houses, women, children, etc. It must be done with all your heart, otherwise it is very likely that you will fail the course, and how much more precious energy and time should be wasted?
It's easier to maintain the status quo than to rebuild, even for yourself, it's easier to guard than to attack!
Mickey, a tired sports commentator and journalist, revels in his current job, acquiescing to his existing love and life status quo. The girlfriend's unbearable and ruthless departure is like a mirror, seeing each other's "I love you" has been covered with dust without temperature, and the relationship cracks that cannot be covered under the dust.
Work has become everything in Mickey's eyes. Even the time to communicate with his girlfriend has to be arranged, and the communication with each other is basically completed in the gap between phone, Internet and work and work. This love feels to everyone. An unpalatable takeaway delivered to the wrong recipient. A relationship without management, which is excused for various reasons, is like a flower planted with one's own hands.
The girlfriend who was about to get married disappeared from Mickey's life.
The mind is no longer so boiling, and time is no longer so tense as a non-renewable resource. At this time, Professor Murray, a former university professor, said in an interview that he was suffering from "Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis", and he also let him They had to make time to see each other, and they had an appointment when they graduated, and they had to meet often. Mickey, who was full of guilt, met Professor Murray.
It is still so kind, as if the child who has been away from home for a long time has finally returned; it is still so optimistic and funny, as if death is a big thing, like the wind blowing a leaf in autumn.
Professor Murray took Mickey's tired hands on the last part of his life that was constantly filled with sandstorms and took him out of his life full of storms. Of course, the sandstorms in Murray's life did not blow into Mickey's world. On the contrary, Murray took Mickey to stand at the window of his own life, watching all the scenery in this world. The scenery, love, and words here are related to many propositions of life and death, but it is more related to Mickey.
And many of Mickey's confusions have been deeply enlightened and taught before the last stop of Professor Murray's life.
Sometimes I think, young people, should communicate with old people, listen to them, say anything. The words of a person whose life is counting down, what else can be filled except the deep regret for this world and the deep imprint on this world (those successful and glorious experiences, those people and things of great significance) To recharge this limited time? Why didn't the young people at this time grow and live on the shoulders of giants?
Humans are highly adaptable animals, and life is not something that requires much attention to any person. But philosophically speaking, the whole is made up of parts. Parts and the sequence of parts determine the appearance of the whole. So is life.
What are the parts of life as a whole? Such as dependence, understanding, love-hate, growth, death... and what sequence should the parts be formed in? These are things that should be learned.
Professor Murray said: "When you learn how to die, you also learn how to live."
Therefore, every component of our life needs to be learned, especially "death" that everyone is taboo.
If you mention death, you still think of the terrifying black. It can only be said that we are not used to this black, just like we fell from the day into the dark night. Throw away the panic, the urge to run away, face it, look at it, appreciate it. Give yourself and the people and things in front of you some time, wait for the heart to be quiet, wait for Jing Mingqing, you will see the little stars hidden in the black, and they are getting brighter and brighter.

With thought-provoking words from the movie:

Why is silence so disturbing? Why do people feel at ease in a world full of various words?

Death is only one of the sad events, and living unhappy is one of them.

When you learn how to die, you also learn how to live.

I call it "reverse force" - life is like a rubber band that pushes you away and back, pushes you to one side to do what you want to do, and pushes you to the other side to be you what needs to be done.

We learn as much from things that hurt us as things that love us.

Death ends life, but death cannot end feelings.

Learn to say goodbye.
