You are afraid of the fall of the spiritual symbol

Don't send positive words of encouragement one-way to a desperate person, it's probably more out of your need, hoping he's standing up as a spiritual symbol, but he's soaking wet.
I watched a film "A Request in the Rain" today. The protagonist Ethan used to be the most famous magician in the country, but an accident 14 years ago left him paralyzed. , speaking, encouraging others with his humor and positivity, many people draw strength from him to live actively. He, who was seen as a spiritual leader by outsiders, suddenly decided to apply to the court for euthanasia, which undoubtedly failed because the Indian constitution does not allow euthanasia. The protagonist's lawyer friend insisted on appealing for him, trying to use public opinion to attract the attention of the court. However, there are voices of disapproval from all over the country. News anchors mock him as a "hypocritical coward"; disabled people hope that he will not run away and lead them to fight as the president of their club; high school students hope that he will continue to inspire and move; priests object He threw away the God-given life...Is he an irresponsible person for his life? He just wanted to retain his last dignity as a human being.
I was struck by a quote from Leonard Cohen, "The pessimist is always waiting for the rain, and I'm soaking wet." Ethan is already soaking wet, but he's willing to work hard He tried his best to try a new life, but his physical disability and numbness could not be defeated by his spirit. He didn't even know when he was urinating or urinating, nor when the nurse helped him clean it up. On a rainy night, countless small water droplets slapped his forehead from the leaky roof, and he couldn't even take an inch by one millimeter. He loves life, loves all beautiful things, loves the vast and vibrant scenery of nature, loves the bright and moving flamenco dance, and loves the nurse who has been taking care of him by his side, so he chooses to die.
At the end of the movie, he also failed to win the case. Fortunately, he has people who are willing to help him get happiness, even if he is reluctant, he has the courage to make it happen.
