Life is a run

Life is a run that has an end. Sometimes you keep running, keep running, without rest, but you change other people's lives. But we don't know why we ran, where we ran, where was the end, and where was the end. One day, you suddenly stopped, leaving only the stunned expression of the people behind you. Forrest Gump’s mother said: "it's my time, it's just my time. oh,now, don't u be afraid, sweetheart? Death is just a part of life, something we're all destined to do. i didn't know it.but i was destined to be ur mother, and i did the best i could". What she told A-Gump was that death is only a part of life, something we must experience. It's just her time. Everything is fate, just like she became A-Gump's mother. And she has done her best. And A-Gump's life is very casual. He always listened to what Jenny told him: Run! So, he ran, no matter what he encountered, he kept running. When he had a pair of unsound legs, he never thought that he would be so good at running. He ran to the football field, he ran to the Vietnam battlefield, he ran to the White House, he ran to the Mississippi River, he ran all over the country, and finally ran back to Alabama, his beautiful hometown. It is also because "Mum said that if you want to go forward, you must first forget the past. I think this is the purpose of running." So he ran his life: his life, his mother's life, and his love for women. , The lives of people around him. The splendor and prosperity brought about by his persistent running, but in the end only stayed on a piece of green grass in Alabama. He chooses plain and ordinary, all he can’t choose is that he is a fool; he chooses to wait and protect, all he can’t choose is what kind of path his loved one chooses; he chooses persistence and strength, all he can’t choose is fate unpredictable. He shouldn't be a strong man in life, he has been facing the fool of love, but he ran to forget the past and gave up hatred with tolerance. He only chooses love. French poet Lamartine once said: To love for the sake of being loved is human, But to love for the sake of loving is angelic. Forrest Gump chose to love for love, no matter how Jenny left and betrayed, how indulged and perverse. Because he will always remember the brilliant smile in the dim car, the angelic heart in the indifferent crowd, and the two companion figures on the branches of the sunset. This is love. Finally, the feathers drifted by. It never knows where it is floating, but it chooses to be itself. Just as A-Gump didn't know what his experience would be, but he chose the unchanging belief and persistence in his heart. Jenny asked A-Gump if he was afraid of fighting in Vietnam. A-Gump only talked about the most beautiful scenery he saw in Vietnam: I saw that when the rain stopped, the stars in the night sky flashed beautifully; I saw In the bay before the sun goes down, there are thousands of flashes on the water; I see the lake in the mountain, the water is so clear, as if there are two sky, one by one; I see the desert, at sunrise, I Seeing the end of the world, it was so beautiful... Jenny, who was fascinated by it, couldn't help but sigh: "I wish I could be there with you." A-Gump only said one sentence: "You were." Besides, I can't help feeling that the English tense is so beautiful.
