The innuendo in the movie is more profound

The teachers of the "correction center" are like a microcosm of the general public: as long as anyone else does not conform to my values, I must let you know that you are wrong. To torture and humiliate you from the moral high ground, and to euphemistically say, "Am I really doing you good?"

WHY?

Everyone can live the way they want, without being defined or labelled. But no matter what, you can't disgust others, otherwise, you deserve it.

"Moon and Sixpence" said: "Most people become not who they want to be, but who they have to be." Life is hard, and I want to be happy, not normal. Besides, what is normal and what is abnormal? You are not qualified to judge anyone else by your standards.

Learning to accept, even tolerate, and even understand, is a lifelong task.

I'm embarrassed too, but I try to accept it. I will definitely be happy for myself when one day I no longer have to struggle to accept.

We are all ordinary people and I am just trying to make myself better.
