Encounter is a joke

"Death and taxes!" There are only two things in life that cannot be avoided, so in the eyes of the god of death who does not pay taxes, all the beauty in the world comes from an unknown life. For the Grim Reaper who is accustomed to everything known - to use Stephen Chow's line - the ups and downs of life are wonderful.

Between Susan and Death, or between Susan and Joe, it doesn't really matter who loves whom or who loves whom. What matters is that Susan finished loving and being loved, and Reaper finished his experience and fulfilled his promise.

Death took Bill and gave him back to Joe. This is his responsibility and his helplessness. If he was a mortal, how could he not even be qualified to love? God is indeed high above, but unfortunately he can't even experience the pain of life and death, he doesn't even have the qualifications to have emotions, and he doesn't even have the power to cry. Loneliness is the only companion of the gods. Lin Xiaopei sings in her "Love You Too Heavy":

I think I really don't know how to give and take love

It's not until the end that you know you're wrong

the ups and downs of your heart

I'm struggling to find clues

And I never knew

I don't think I really have the freedom to love you

I can never penetrate your world

the hand you pushed away

tumbling down in a panic

And I look at you and it hurts

Falling in love with you is torture too heavy

But why can't I let go of my hand

Maybe it's time to forget

more courageous thoughts

Wipe away your tears and take a good look

Falling in love with you is torture too heavy

But why can't my dream be closed

Maybe it's time to leave

Make the memory a little softer

From now on you will still be you and I will still be me

Indeed, from now on, you are still you, and I am still me. Who knows whether the god who came to the mortal world experienced a beautiful encounter or a helpless joke?

    Hmm, I suddenly remembered if this was the candle at the dinner table that the film school teacher talked about at the VCD book club meeting =.= The music is great
