one's soul

The picture is a little dark. It felt a little dull at the beginning, Henry Fonda slightly hunched his back and put one hand in his pocket and questioned with firm eyes and sharp eyes. Another journey. The suffering of human beings are all the same. In the face of the powerlessness of power, the optimism and friendliness of human beings are also similar. Even in suffering, they will give to each other and help each other, as long as possible, they can make the gray life become vitality and hope. How is justice done? How is fairness achieved? As long as you have experienced reality, you will despair, but is there any hope? The answer is that the best way, means, and way out is "hope". "Perhaps there is no evil in the world, and there is no good and virtue. There are only human behaviors." There is no good and evil, and there is no definition of good and evil. Only by seeing the essence, can we face life calmly. "Maybe I can do something...to change everything...I can't, I don't know enough...Maybe as Kathy said, a person's soul doesn't belong only to oneself, it's just a small part of the larger soul that belongs to Everyone's big soul...and then...one's soul doesn't matter, I'm everywhere in the dark..." This big soul belongs to everyone and everyone, or there is no big soul, one's small soul is the whole , is everywhere.

The Grapes of Wrath quotes

  • [last lines]

    Ma Joad: Rich fellas come up an' they die, an' their kids ain't no good an' they die out. But we keep a'comin'. We're the people that live. They can't wipe us out; they can't lick us. We'll go on forever, Pa, 'cause we're the people.

  • [the family is leaving the farm, heading for California]

    Al Joad: Ain't you gonna look back, Ma? Give the ol' place a last look?

    Ma Joad: We're going' to California, ain't we? All right then let's go to California.

    Al Joad: That don't sound like you, Ma. You never was like that before.

    Ma Joad: I never had my house pushed over before. Never had my family stuck out on the road. Never had to lose everything I had in life.
