About life's fault tolerance

When watching this movie, the more I look back, the more I can't bear the urge to look down. I want to close the playback window immediately. This kind of reality and heaviness is a bit overwhelming. The reason why it is sad is that we all understand that ricky and the family behind him are not as simple as a movie, but such families often appear in and around our lives.

Poverty is the same for people in every country and region. It swallows everything like a huge black hole, and those who live in it are powerless to resist.

Without a stable job, they have to go to the bottom of the meat chain, spend more time and energy, and have less time to spend with their families. Unhappy family relationships will in turn affect everyone's lives. There is no time to learn to improve oneself, to change and update one's own cognition, and survival has become the biggest theme in life. All these are interlinked. Those who are superior can learn, grow, progress, and carry out a positive cycle of life in various networks, but they can only fall into the never-ending chaotic, heavy, and tired. negative cycle.

The essence is that the fault tolerance rate of each person's life is different, and the threshold range of fault tolerance rate that life gives each person is different. Wang Sicong can start a business and lose hundreds of millions and still look good. Someone lost a purchased subway card in the subway. And howled. Because of this fault tolerance rate, some people can keep trying to pursue what they want, while others can only do what always looks "right", because for them, "stability" is better than "uncertainty". More importantly, because the fault tolerance rate of their lives is very low, a little carelessness will threaten their survival.

I remembered a news I read a long time ago. Some people regarded it as a joke, some people extended countless truths, and some people regarded it as an argument for success, but I just want to say that it is just a real news. It goes like this:

There was a group of migrant workers, and the boss told them that if they pay their bills together at the end of the year, they can give them more money, and if they pay their wages every month, they will get less. Almost all of them choose to pay monthly.
