On November 22, 1963, in order to fight for re-election, the Kennedys went to Dallas to solicit votes. At 12:30 noon, suddenly, a bullet hit Kennedy in the head, Kennedy was killed on the spot, his wife Jacqueline, by his side, witnessed everything...
To sort out the tragedy that Jacqueline experienced as the President's wife:
1. Jacqueline and Kennedy had five children, but only two survived. One had a miscarriage, one was stillborn in the womb, and one was premature and died two days after birth.
2. Kennedy's affair continued, and the arrogant mistress Marilyn Monroe's call to force the palace all reached the White House. As smart as Jacqueline, she must know everything, but she chose to endure and be her first lady quietly. Jacqueline asked for quietness, but Monroe, who was a Hollywood star, died suddenly. This incident caused a lot of uproar. No one believed that she committed suicide. The president's wife and the president became the center of public gossip.
3. Just experienced the pain of bereavement. In the same year, her husband was assassinated, and bloody assassinated in front of her own face, and she was forced to leave the White House within a few days of her husband's death.
Although Jacqueline's heart is very strong, in the face of such a tragic encounter, she also has moments when she is too fragile to survive. She chose to find a pastor and share her thoughts with the pastor. The wise and steady pastor had a touching conversation with Jacqueline, which made people suddenly enlightened after listening to it.
Their conversation is as follows:
Pastor: People always seek the meaning of life
Pastor: There will be a moment when people realize that everything is incomprehensible
Pastor: When people finally realize
Pastor: When this terrible but unavoidable situation
Pastor: Either accept it willingly
Pastor: Either end yourself
Pastor: I have no worries in my life
Pastor: But lie in bed every night and turn off the lights
Priest: In the Dark
Pastor: I always wonder if this is the meaning of life
Mrs Kennedy: You would think so
Pastor: Everyone thinks so
Pastor: But it's morning
Pastor: We still make ourselves a cup of coffee when we wake up
Mrs. Kennedy: Why bother?
Pastor: We are all like this, so did you this morning
Pastor: You will still be like this tomorrow
Pastor: But God of infinite wisdom has already understood
Pastor: We Can Take It All
The English version of this passage is attached:
There comes a time in man's search for meaning, when one realizes - there are no answers.
When you come to that horrible, unavoidable realization - you accept it. Or you kill yourself. Or you simply stop searching.
I have lived a blessed life. And yet every night when I climb into bed, turn off the lights, and stare into the dark, I wonder...is this all there is?
And then, when morning comes, we all wake up and make a pot of coffee.
Why do we bother? Because we do. It is just enough for us.
The darkness may never go away. But it won't always be this heavy.
The words of a wise pastor, we ordinary people will also feel the same. On some quiet nights, all kinds of pessimistic and depressing thoughts come out, and it feels like there is no hope in life... But as long as we get a good night's sleep, wake up early the next day, wash up, eat a good breakfast, walk in In the sunshine, it is a new day, and there is nothing that can't be overcome.
Involuntarily, I suddenly remembered the classic line said by the heroine Scarlett of "Gone with the Wind":
"tomorrow is another day!"
"tomorrow is a new day!"
