i hate inspirational movies

I hate inspirational films as much as I hate chicken soup for the soul.

Because I think there is no such thing as empathy in the world at all. Everyone has different life experiences, so how can we empathize?

For me, inspirational films are like chicken soup for the soul on the Internet. People say some big truths that are fake and empty, and everyone understands the truth, but it is not something that can be done with an open mouth.

And she did.

What really moved me was that it was a real thing.

When we want to do what we want to do, it already takes a lot of effort, so she can do what seems impossible, and it is an effort that I can't imagine.

And she, not just her, but them. Thousands of them, persevering in difficult times, how touching it is.

I don't know if the people around her are as friendly as they are in the film in real life.

But I think, starting from me, facing disabled people in my life, not pointing at them, not looking at them with colored glasses, this is the best respect for them.
