Knowing yourself

I'm very grateful that I chatted a lot with a close friend recently, and the other person also recommended me to watch "Peace Warrior". After reading it, I was reminded many times to write about my movie viewing experience. I haven't written my experience for a long time. Many times I feel that the words are not expressive, and I feel meaningless after writing. This so-called experience is actually voice-to-text and then slightly edited. Thanks for this great function, I can save the illiterate.

I was worried that I had nothing to say, so I opened the movie again and excerpted some quotations in it, mainly Socrates' questioning and Danny's warning. These words also made me dizzy.

Socrates said you like to get to the bottom of things. You feel good about yourself. Then why can't you sleep at night? I think these are all tortures of my soul. If you didn't do the job, what would you do? What is your true passion? It made me, who had been confused recently, fall into thinking again. In fact, before watching a movie, when I listen to the back shake at night, I often communicate with the other me in my heart. I have come to feel that we are waking each other up. In fact, everyone has a monster in their hearts, this monster, he is weak. Also terrible. He will intimidate you, but also wake you up. I gradually feel that facing this monster in our hearts, don't fear it, don't run away from it, the best way is to be friends with him, it exists in you, it is your flesh, your skin, You can only transform if you accept it and live with it.

People are afraid to face their weak inner self, but the heart is often the only destination for people. Many people may still be dreaming now, and many people can live in a dream without waking up for a lifetime. But does this really make sense?

In fact, I also have a lot of my own ideas. Are you saying these ideas are useless? No, it works, it inspires you a lot. Even at work and in life, a lot of inspiration comes from these miscellaneous ideas. But do these ideas really make sense? But it's not. The movie tells us, and I agree: the brain is just a reflex organ that responds to everything. In fact, there are thousands of ideas injected into our heads every day. But none of this thought reflects itself more than a freckle on the tip of our nose. Because what we express is what we really are. Many thoughts are empty and meaningless, and even many thoughts are just some garbage, and many thoughts need to be emptied. What we lack most is thought, what we lack is focus and devotion. So we need to throw away the trash at the right time, clear our minds, and devote ourselves to our experiences. In fact, this is also what is often said in society today, and it is actually the same principle. Otherwise, these thoughts will always exist in your head, the information will be cluttered, the thoughts will be confused, your eyes will be blinded, your heart will be exhausted, then you will miss everything that is going on, and you will not see the real thing.

Mind is also related to human potential. Humans have potential, but it is a question of whether they can be stimulated. If a person's potential is not stimulated, it may be that his mind is not here. Danny slowly turned his attention to gymnastics, and everyone would be surprised at the moment of concentration. It's not just a question of strength.

Everything has meaning. When a couple suddenly kisses passionately, that moment is their whole world; when the puppy is running on the grass, its current happiness is the whole meaning; when the coaches and players around him are training, wandering around As they walked, Danny finally heard them seriously. There is never an event that never happens, and there is never an extraordinary moment.

Life is a journey, and the journey is always more important than the destination. Everyone is looking, but what we are really looking for is never certain. The process of climbing the mountain is happy, and reaching the top may be a kind of relief and relief. The process is the normal state of life, so isn't the happiness of the process more important than the happiness of reaching the top? Isn't the process of finding more important than the joy of "finding"?

And because of some of my recent confusion, I saw a sentence in the movie, which made me feel more. The people who are the least likely to be loved are the ones who need to be loved the most. I always struggle with some questions in my relationship, and like to get to the bottom of it. Why is my relationship failing? I will find the reason in myself. I would think, why did the other party not like me, why did the other party give up first, terminate the relationship first, why did the other party like me in the first place? I think a big reason is that when a relationship is uncertain, I have no scruples, I just want to express myself and be my true self. I think everyone's sincere expression is a kind of charm, maybe the other party is also attracted by my charm at first. But when I start to need to be loved, when I gradually become dependent on some feelings and a relationship, this is not who I was at the beginning, and it is not me that the other party liked at the beginning. What a person should do best is himself, and the first person to learn to love should be himself. Let yourself be independent of this world, don't be entangled by others, by a relationship, by a relationship.

Life is like a movie, it's like a dream, but luckily I am still very moved after waking up.
