leave a gap

It is suitable to watch when loneliness reaches an extreme value. The story tells of a brother and sister:

Brother, a lonely and helpless middle-aged man with a smooth, boring and high-paying work surface is flawless, even on the subway, he will be flirted by beautiful women, and he reveals a tone of purity and sexiness coexisting. But there is actually another side to him living alone. He is addicted to short-lived relationships and sex, and he repeatedly surrenders to desire. He hates himself extremely and is pessimistic in his heart. In such extreme contradictions, he lives at his own rhythm with a sense of ritual.

My sister, a lonely and helpless innocent girl, who is seriously lacking in love and longing to be loved. She has the vitality and social side that a young person should have, and she also rushes into a relationship that has no beginning or end. She always knew that her brother was a painful person. She wanted to save him, so she repeatedly harassed him with words and even broke into his life to live with him and wanted to warm him with company. But she found that everything was in vain. Her desire to save others was actually just a coquettish disguise and a desire to be loved.

No matter what I do, I'm attracted to the same kind of people I call "the people with the gaps". When people show flaws, confusion, sadness and helplessness, everything is displayed in the most honest way

Unable to get rid of vulgar ideas and insatiable desires, stretched struggle between good and perfect contradictions and self-contest. When the negative energies resonate, the idea of ​​mutual salvation is born and closer than usual. And most of the time we watch each other from the safest distance to be polite and kind.

The relationship between people and themselves is fragile, and the relationship with others is even more riddled with holes, and people's lives may be broken at any time. No matter how bad or how perfect you are, remember to leave a gap for the worthy. Whether it's relatives, friends or loved ones, let at least one person enter this gap and embrace each other's true selves. People are social animals after all and cannot be satisfied with superficial relationships. Each of us needs someone who knows who we are or at least who is always trying to understand you. Otherwise, life is really lonely.
