I'm so lucky, because I'm not a meteorologist, and I don't need to know how clouds form or what components are in the air currents, but I can use my eyes to collect the clouds in the sky and savour the most abstract beauty in my heart.
I'm so lucky, because I'm not a zoologist either, I don't know exactly how birds fly, I only know the magical pair of wings in the sun, which often makes me feel the traces of angels flying between the blue sky and white clouds.
How lucky I am, because I am not a botanist either. I still don't understand the principle of photosynthesis, but I am almost stubbornly in love with the simplest green, and I firmly believe that there will be lovely fairies in the smallest forests.
I'm so lucky, because I'm not a geologist either, I don't have to calculate exactly how many years it will take for the waves to turn a rock into the shape of a goddess, but I can imagine beyond time and space, how in the dark night God uses invisible hands to create ingenuity Carved.
I'm so lucky because I'm not a politician or a lawyer who needs to lie, or a doctor who needs to operate on people, and I'm not even an artist who needs to figure out the cost of an exhibition, so what am I? I'm nothing, I don't know anything about the world, maybe that's my luck.
How lucky we are to not know exactly what kind of world we live in.
- "How Lucky We Are" Simboska
Attracted by the goddess of one gold and one silver, I watched "The Hunter: Winter's War". I entered the arena for about ten minutes late, and the first picture I saw was that the Snow Queen was telling her subjects that there was no love in this territory, and all they needed to do was to continuously improve their combat effectiveness. The feeling is loyalty to her. Of course, when she said this, the queen took the attitude of "coming over" (that is, "I am for your own good"), and the meaning of the words was - love is a fragile thing, and discussing it is a kind of waste.
Actually, that's right. Love is vulnerable because it tends to breed fear, and then become intimidating, and even begin to bind oneself to another. Emotional power always invades reason and makes people do stupid things. Why do you say bystanders are clear? Because bystanders do not need to consider the emotional factors that belong only to the hearts of the parties.
Therefore, many times, when someone says, "Yes, I don't believe in love anymore." Such words may indeed create an impressive illusion. One is that it seems to eliminate the vulnerable factor-emotion, so that you can make full use of your reason and realize your own value more efficiently; the second is that for those who are deeply tormented by emotions, others are not able to breathe. To be able to achieve such a state of "letting go of one thought and being at ease" is really an enviable state of life.
However, as I predicted from the beginning of the film (or, in fact, such a theme is really very old-fashioned, so it is particularly predictable), built on that unsound personality that has been deliberately self-distorted without emotion After all, it is only as powerful as an empty shell, and it has lost the ability to create miracles. After all, emotion is a mysterious force, and it is impossible to know why it makes us so vulnerable, nor is it known why it makes us so strong. Just like suicidal behavior is often caused by losing emotional connection with society, but when you are standing on the rooftop, you suddenly realize the existence of the people who care about you and the people you care about in this world. You can let go of suicidal thoughts.
I personally think that the real strong people know how to control their emotions and reason. The so-called domination of emotions is firstly based on the premise of identifying with "emotions", that is, for individuals, you can choose whether to love or not - but only for specific individuals. Real strength comes from the heart, knowing what you want and don't want, and being able to accept a complete self, including looking directly at those things that make you weak, because many times admitting one's weakness is exactly a kind of Powerful behavior. Of course, perhaps my use of the word "powerful" throughout is a bit too harsh. In fact, it is not powerful in an objective understanding, not that gorgeous empty armor, but just a subjectively felt, yet very full of "power", or a sense of existence.
I have always believed that human beings are originally neutral, and this "neutrality" is not a state of "the mean", but the coexistence of good and evil. The value of the soul is reflected in the thoughts that are exclusive to human beings. And thoughts give birth to feelings. And feelings, which generate positive emotions such as longing and hope, also generate
Negative emotions like greed and cruelty. I believe that people initially fantasize about an ideal world of "truth, goodness and beauty" and are willing to devote themselves to it, but after witnessing many ugly aspects of human nature, this fantasy only stays as a fantasy, and even becomes a kind of fantasy. A boost that pushes you to the other extreme.
So, when you say you don't believe in love, it's mostly after despair. Few people are born with a desire for evil, or rather, one who prefers to annihilate emotions and arm themselves to be isolated from the world. Before her death, the Snow Queen said "You're so lucky." Indeed, those who truly experience "love" are so lucky. But is the "lucky" in the Queen's words just a kind of envy of single dogs for young couples? I don't think so. What she meant by "lucky" was - how lucky you are to still believe in the power of love above all else. But having said that - the sigh of personal good luck cannot be denied here. After all, God did not give the young couple in front of the queen an experience like being framed by a sister and her husband trying to kill his biological daughter.
Therefore, I suddenly want to ask, do you still believe in love?
In such a world where values are empty, after walking out of the ivory tower, I realized a society in which function is supreme even if it doesn’t say it on the lips. After feeling the quarrel within the family, I realized that love based on human nature is more likely to last forever. After the nonsense fact, after witnessing too many cases of "little girls" and "little men" who only talk about skill, do you still believe in love?
And with a deeper understanding of human nature, a deeper understanding of society, and a gradual understanding of how emotions are instigated and used, and after witnessing the unanimous conclusion about the "instability" of emotions, this hope is even stronger. It is easy to be replaced by a kind of despair.
For that question, I don't know what other people's answer is, of course, at least I still believe it. However, this kind of belief is not a longing for fairy-tale love or vigorous love, but a firm attitude towards a relationship. Just like my personal reflection after finishing the book "Imagined Community" yesterday, I found that I do not reject the emotional bond between nations that I knew was deliberately instigated. What I really reject is to use such an emotion to gain Acts of political or economic gain.
In fact, as far as the purity and intensity of "love" is concerned, I may have already taken a wait-and-see attitude. And the answer of "I still believe in love" may also imply a semi-mandatory choice. One is based on the fact that emotions are fragile but sometimes very powerful, and the fact that trying to save oneself is not by cutting it but looking directly at it, and the second is based on the fact that human beings can never eliminate emotions - the consequences That is, if you don't lead one positive emotion positively, then another negative emotion will breed - if you are harsher, you will take revenge on the society, if you are milder, you will be self-enclosed and become indifferent. Or take the characters in "Hunter: Winter's War" as an example, do the two goddesses really exclude emotions? There is only hatred in their hearts. Since they are the same two emotions, they are not comparable. What's more, the self-pleasure brought by "hate" is always lower than that of "love".
I am pessimistic about human nature, but optimistic about the development prospects of human society. In fact, believe it or not, but a life attitude. Then, just as Bi Shumin said, the heart of compassion was born after great sorrow and suffering, maybe all the above things are just my personal wishful thinking, that is, maybe only me is like this - it seems that the more you are at the bottom, the more you are not afraid to look up. Look up at the stars.
It can be said that love is a kind of prejudice, or it can be said that it is a kind of belief. Perhaps I have narrowed the definition of "love" too narrowly, including only the love between lovers, but in fact the object of love can be many things. The point is whether you think you still believe in anything. Let those illusory and inexplicable things be so illusory and inexplicable. Just like I don't think religious belief is such a pseudo-scientific and ridiculous thing,
In this world, people just need something to believe, something to measure their insignificance, something to stimulate their heart and remind themselves that they are still alive as a complete person. It's also like what Bi Shumin said - the words "pain" and "pain" both have the word "pain", which shows that they are in the same line.
How fortunate are those who have always believed in something unwaveringly and never wavered, and who have not yet reached the realization that one must "need" to believe something in order to live. But such good luck is a gift from God. In fact, a dimension to examine the ability to obtain "lucky" may be - "Do you still believe in love?"
