sometimes

A friend recommended it as a film about midlife crisis.

It turned out to be another story of a broken family. Two brothers and sisters who grew up in a BF, when they reached middle age, sent their stubborn and tyrannical father, who used to be cruel to them, but now he is old and frail, to a nursing center until his death. Family love is sometimes so fragile, sometimes so warm and moving.

Sometimes we need to use images to remind ourselves that time is merciless. It takes away our bright eyes and white teeth, and paints the traces of the years between our eyebrows and eyes.
As Ecclesiastes Chapter 12 says: "...the keepers of the house tremble, and the mighty bow down, the grinders are few and cease, and those who look out from the windows are dark; When the birds chirped, people rose up, and the women who sang became weak... The silver chain was broken, the golden pot was broken, the bottle was broken by the spring, the water wheel was broken at the well...", but "the dust returns to the ground, and the spirit returns to the God of Spirits,” the preacher concluded: “Vanity of vanity, all is vanity.”

The Bible Psalm 90 also says, "The years of our life are seventy years old, and if we are strong we may be eighty years old; but the glory of them is but toil and sorrow, and in an instant we fly away. ".
The flesh of all people decays, but we are living beings with spirits. Only by fearing the Lord can we find the true meaning and direction of life, and it is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge.
