When Kaguya puts on the feather robe, she can forget everything in the world and become detached from the world. But people do not have such privileges. They carry deep pain and joy until they reach the end of their lives.
But the paradox is that even Kaguya can't achieve true detachment. She who has lost her mundane memory will still shed tears unconsciously when she hears that familiar song.
Maybe everyone has pursued what they think is the most beautiful thing in their hearts, just like Kaguya paid all the price to pursue freedom and longed to return to the bamboo forests and mountains of childhood. It's just that many people face the cruel reality and can no longer stick to the pure land in their hearts.
Human nature is complex and cannot be simply summarized as human nature is inherently evil or human nature is inherently good. Laziness and self-interest may be human nature, and kindness and selflessness may also be the same. How can it be described with a single word such as good or bad?
From simple log cabins to splendid palace buildings, from borrowing no-names to high-ranking officials, it is nothing but desire and vanity at work. But these are just human feelings. Bamboo Tow-weng did nothing wrong. He just wanted to make the little girl who grew up in the palm of his hand always happy and rich, but before he could enter her heart, he swallowed by the flood of desire. And those playboys who came to propose marriage, staged a ridiculous farce.
Kaguya sees through the various states of beings, and finally gets rid of the turbulence of the world and returns to the clear moon city. This ending is not to express her final disappointment in the world. On the contrary, Kaguya is extremely longing for a worldly life, longing to live a life that is truly casual, instead of seeming to be free and detached, in fact, she is bound by her spirituality, and the heights are extremely cold.
The ugliness is disappointing, but the innocence and kindness are also fascinating. No matter how filthy you are, the more charming you are. No one or anything is absolutely good. Kaguya's departure is a warning to us that instead of complaining, it is better to accept and cherish - what she longs for is to live a real life.
Being ordinary may be our happiness.
