we are all black

What is the meaning of the existence of government? Do people need the government more, or does the government need people more?

After thinking about it, the meaning of the government's existence is balance. Balance rich and poor, strong and weak, power...

Between the people and the government, in fact, the government needs the people more. Water can carry a boat or capsize it.

But in reality, in front of the state apparatus, the people are extremely insignificant.

When the government doesn't want to do something, it can make the program incredibly complicated. In this process, a large number of complainants who are no longer patient will naturally be screened out.

I've seen too many things like this.

In the process, a cumbersome bureaucracy was created. This huge institution actually depends entirely on the programs they devise to exist. Why can't it be simpler? Because it's easy to lose someone's job. Who would put themselves out of a job!

The same is true of the current domestic appeal agencies. In the name of procedural justice, the actual work efficiency is extremely low. The reason is very simple, because it does not touch its own vital interests. On the contrary, it takes a good deal of time and energy to deal with a complaint, which affects one's own vital interests. Who doesn't want to relax and get off work on time?

And the situation in the country has actually worsened in recent years. There are fewer and fewer departments actively doing things, and it is more and more serious to protect oneself. Some people are afraid that China will become a society of human feelings, but it is more likely that it will become a society without human feelings.

I have no doubt that China will be harsher than this movie when I get older.

Wait a minute, we're all Blake.

I, Daniel Blake quotes

  • Daniel: She was special. Yeah, she was special, Daisy. Not easy. She was up one minute, down the next. Smart and funny. Huh. Ah, that lass made me laugh. Kind. She had a big, big heart. But... She said her head was like the ocean. Dead still, then wild. Never knew where she'd end up next. I mean, the music helped that. But then she'd hit the rocks. "Where'll we sail to tonight, Dan?" That was our little joke. Her last words to me were, "I wanna sail away, Dan, with the wind at me back."That's all I need, Dan."

  • Daniel: Hello?

    Harry Edwards: Hi, is that Daniel?

    Daniel: Yes, it is. Hi.

    Harry Edwards: Hi, Daniel, it's Harry Edwards here. We spoke the other day at the garden centre...

    Daniel: Oh, yeah, yeah.

    Harry Edwards: ...when you came down and handed your CV. How are you doing, mate? Are you all right?

    Daniel: Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, thanks, yeah.

    Harry Edwards: Er, listen. I tell you what, mate, I've been going through all the CVs I've had handed over the last couple of weeks. And I really like the look of yours. Erm, you've got the experience I'm looking for. I was wondering if you could possibly, er, pop by tomorrow and that for an interview?

    Daniel: Oh... I'm really sorry, er, Mr. Edwards, but, you know, er, my doctor's told us I cannot come back to work yet.

    Harry Edwards: So you're not actually looking for work, then?

    Daniel: Well, it's hard to explain, you know.

    Harry Edwards: So, well, what's the point of handing in your CV if you're not looking for work?

    Daniel: Well it's the only way I can get me benefits, you know?

    Harry Edwards: Benefits? So you prefer to be on benefits than do a day's graft? You know, I thought you were a genuine bloke. You know, I've spent a lot of time going through them all. I've... I was gonna put some graft your way. You've just wasted my time completely. Why don't you just sod right off!

    [hangs up the phone]

    Daniel: Listen, that's not...
