"NEW LONDON" has been chasing happiness, but never really found it
People in the New World are not without emotions, but emotions are ignored in their minds. When they are angry, angry, sad, helpless, and desperate, they choose to escape. There should have been such a process of thinking about oneself, but it was replaced by a small pill. Without this process, there would be no lack of happiness, but it lacks the opportunity to look directly at oneself. After all, everyone has suffered and experienced painful experiences, but embracing and accepting those painful memories will bring us new insights and wisdom, allowing you to find the "soul" that supports you. Without self, there is no happiness.
New World x Savage Land
The material civilization of the new world is extremely developed. It seems to be a gentle ideal hometown, but in fact it is full of contradictions and injustice. Some people are born to be leaders, and some people are destined to move bricks all their lives. The fate of mankind has been decided before birth. . Is it true that people in the New World see marriage as a superstition, emotions as air, and fear as the cause of human failure in the Old World? Isn't it a sign of fear that humans in New London suppress their emotions by taking small pills? In the eyes of people in the new world, the human beings in the old world are savages, but if you think about it carefully, which side of the human being is the savages, what constitutes a person, thinking, love, belief, but the new Do these spirits exist in the people of the world? No, there is just sex. In such a world rich in material civilization, spiritual civilization has disappeared without a trace.
How can we be happy?
This is really an age-old problem, how can I make myself happy? Is it self paralysis like New World's Alpha Plus? Or are you mired in the quagmire of the old world? It doesn't seem right. In that case, let's be yourself. Just like Max jealous of Henry, if you are unwilling, you will strike hard. It doesn't matter who you were or what you've been through, it doesn't matter who you are and what makes you who you are now. I think being yourself is the first step in embracing happiness.
(PS: If you had to choose, would you rather be an Alpha Plus in a new world or a barbarian?)
