The decision to change the trajectory of life

I've been thinking about this problem when the movie is over. We will make many decisions in our lives, and these decisions will affect many things, some are trivial things, and some are life-changing events.

I have always felt that knowing anyone can change the trajectory of my life, so I try to keep myself as much as possible when interacting with others, because once I decide to entrust, my whole life may change accordingly, no matter how good or bad it is. , I am afraid of the unknown.

Human beings are lonely after all, so they spend their entire lives looking for a way to end loneliness, even though sometimes the behavior of doing so is so selfish. Before deciding to awaken Aurora, Jim thought for a long time, whether he should do this, whether he should drag a girl into this endless loneliness that cannot be turned back. In the end, he compromised and he didn’t end his life with the courage to end his life. This terrible loneliness, so he awakened her, the first day was happy, after all, there is someone, a living person with you is happy. But after all, the paper couldn't keep the fire out. She knew that he had awakened her in advance, and she also knew that there was still 89 years to go before the destination. Both he and she would eventually get old during this long journey. Unable to set foot on another human homeland.

What I pay most attention to is Aurora’s reaction, doubts, acceptance of facts, happily getting along, surprise, collapse, quarreling, being unable to let go, to the moment of life and death with Jim to save the spaceship, saying "you die, I die", is she still Remember the phrase "totally stranger" in the diary that I wrote when I first woke up. How many totally strangers will we encounter in our lives, and how many people will we have in contact with, I believe that most people come and go in the long river of life, and gradually disappear. In the end, we choose to stay with one person and spend our whole life.

Getting acquainted is easy, and getting acquainted with each other is not difficult. The hard part is staying together. Aurora finally gave up the opportunity to sleep again, because this meant that she and Jim would never see each other again. Many people may think this ending is clichéd, but I am moved by it, because it takes courage, and it takes great courage to change the trajectory of others' lives. Even if you do this, you will never go to another planet, you will never see your friends in the past, you will never see your books published, or even sell well, you will not be able to become an imaginary best-seller, you will not be able to experience the new world. But, it doesn't matter, because we are here, I will spend this long and short life with you, I am willing.

PS: After much deliberation, I still came up with an unnutritious and unliterary topic. In fact, there are many decisions in this drama. Jim did not decide to commit suicide. Jim decided to wake up Aurora. Aurora and Jim decided to save the entire spacecraft. Jim decided to use his own one. Human sacrifices are exchanged for the lives of all people in the ship. They decide to stay together for a lifetime... Each link may bring about another result. Then, in the path of life, what is your decision?
