For example, the day of the woodchuck explores the meaning of life in an endless cycle of time. Love, caring for others, is the light that illuminates the deep darkness. Two wedding speeches touched the soul. Add another comment to the movie palm springs, so as not to be considered another cliche romantic comedy.
Can love give meaning to life? Of course. Is it true that only love can give life meaning? of course not. Many people think that they have also denied the first proposition because they deny the second proposition. This is of course logical confusion.
If love cannot give meaning to life, then neither can the pursuit of truth nor self-realization. Nothing else can be done. Because the reason for negating one of them also applies to the other items. Everything is vanity. Love, of course, not only refers to love here, but also includes all kindness and help to neighbors and strangers. As the hostess said in her wedding speech, selflessness to others, and hope-a good desire to see the good in others.
If there is only love and nothing else, can life be meaningful? In other words, is love a sufficient condition for the meaning of life? A housewife, a housewife who has no chance to realize herself, pursue the truth, etc., but has a lovely child and a husband who loves her, does her life have any meaning? Of course there is.
If there is no love, but there are other careers that may make life meaningful, such as realizing one's potential as much as possible, such as pursuing knowledge and truth, science and art, such as becoming a successful politician, lawyer, doctor, manual artist, etc. Wait, does life have meaning? That is to ask whether love is a necessary condition for meaning in life? of course not. Isn’t Kant’s life meaningless, who is unmarried and has never been a woman? of course not.
However, if there is no love in life, it is difficult to say that a life is happy. Happiness and meaning are not synonymous. Of course, once again, the love here cannot be limited to romantic love- a responsive love that occurs between two people. A lifetime unmarried person may still have love in life: he/she may have friends, relatives, neighbors, etc. Even Kant, if there is no love for mankind in his heart, he will not be so diligent throughout his life to study what justice, freedom, rights and duties are, and how to build a world of permanent peace. This is great love. This is the greatest goodwill and hope for mankind. Such people have love and hope for all mankind in their hearts. A person who is truly lonely in his heart and who has lost faith in mankind will not choose such a life path.
In other words, if a person has love in his heart, and works for it, and works hard to make the world a better place, his life is actually full, full, and enthusiastic. Even though he may be lonely in his life.
However, as mentioned above, happiness and meaning are two different things. If a person is lonely all his life, and he/she does not yearn for loneliness, enjoy loneliness, or exclude partners, his/her happiness will of course be insufficient. This is a natural thing. And if it is worse, his lifelong love loses his life in an accident, which is even more painful. We cannot be surprised at his pain because he already has a meaningful career, think he doesn't need to suffer, and make a fuss. This is all common sense, I just found out that this common sense also needs to be emphasized because of recent events.
Aristotle, who defined happiness as the greatest release of human potential and becoming a virtue, also believed that happiness requires external conditions. A virtuous person will deal with life's misfortunes nobly, but this does not deprive him of the right to pain. Of course, in the end, happiness depends on a person's heart. I'll talk about this topic later.
Finally back to this movie. The movie got a high score of 94% on the Rotten Tomatoes website. The brilliance of this movie-after all, it touched me who is hard to be touched by watching too many movies, because it shows the difficulty of true love. It is difficult for us to truly fall in love with someone. We often pretend to fall in love with someone because we escape loneliness. Many times we think we are in love with someone, but we don't.
The way to detect whether we really fall in love with someone may be as mentioned in the movie or in many songs, I feel I do not want to live without you. Of course, this is a very high standard. Of course, the standard can be lowered a little, as the heroine said: I think I can survive without you. But with you, life will be less mundane.
Of course, I did not answer the question of why the male lead fell in love with the female lead. I just feel that I will also like this heroine. Facing your mistakes sincerely, caring about others from the heart, and bravely choosing to use actions to solve problems instead of accepting failure and meaninglessness.
