Incorrigible Oedipus

No. 12 was a dream, mixed with many hopes and troubles. I went to swim after get off work. Only when I was swimming did I feel that I didn’t need to think about anything. I just simply repeated the movements of paddling and kicking my legs mechanically. I found that after swimming 700 meters, I didn't feel tired and my mind went blank, I just kept swimming. Very comfortable.

Yesterday was too exhausting, so today I slept amazingly until 3pm, and all the movies downloaded yesterday with my computer on are finished. So, today's main activity is watching movies. I watched a film today called "The Ring of the Nibelungs", a story from Norse mythology, but unfortunately it was in English. If it were in Icelandic, I would have liked it better. Obviously, the story also applies some Greek mythology. I won't say much about the story. I really want to talk about people's greed for wealth and loyalty to love.

A blacksmith is destined to meet the Queen of Iceland, who falls in love with the blacksmith. Although the story has two love stories, this one is always the most touching. I love that Icelandic queen, she's beautiful, she's determined, she's got a lot of strength and she's got an unwavering sensibility. The blacksmith is a heroic figure, brave and loyal, but cursed by frame-ups and magic. The trigger of all tragedies is the treasure of Nibelungen. The blacksmith defeated the dragon who possessed the treasure, but wanted to take the wealth to find his queen, and the queen told him that all she wanted was him. Unfortunately, the blacksmith thought that only wealth could please his beloved woman. When he insisted on taking the wealth away, the nightmare began. The ending of the story makes me very sad. I hate such a sad ending the most. The blacksmith was plotted to death by the gangsters, and the queen who loved him deeply and held a knife by his side to show affection.

Although the story is not complicated, I can guess the result by looking at the beginning, but I still foolishly hope that the plot can be changed. I am worried about the greed of the blacksmith, feel sympathy for the queen's waiting, and feel sorry for them Love turned to hate and saddened. if……

People are always greedy, especially in the face of wealth and power, and always want more. An ancient Inca legend said that a man was crying, and the animals in the forest asked him why he was crying, and he said he was weak, without strength, etc., and as a result, the animals taught him their skills, this The man left the forest happily. But the owl said, he will not be happy, because I see an endless black hole in my heart, he will never be satisfied, so he will never be happy.

Hey, if people are destined to be so insatiable, I really began to believe what Lao Tzu said, but how many people in the world can live as Lao Tzu said? Are people destined to bear these unnecessary pains and sorrows?

I was fascinated by the Icelandic queen in the film, she fights like a man and has great power, she is haughty, cold, and roars like a beast. She is the queen, she has everything in her territory, but she also yearns for her love like a simple woman. She did not despise the blacksmith because of his humble background. When the blacksmith was lingering with other women, she still prayed and looked forward to the dark night sky; when she knew that she had been deceived, she was angry and even colder, and she wanted to die and blood. Get revenge on those who hurt her, I love it! To me, she's not just a queen, she's a goddess. In the end, if she does not use the sword and love made by her beloved blacksmith, it will be the greatest pain to let her live alone. I admire her courage, her love and hate!

After all, it's just a fairy tale, huh, women in reality don't do this. When a woman loves you, she doesn't care about any of your flaws, and she will endure it no matter how repulsive she has been. When she loves you, she ignores money, status and morality. But once you stop loving you, those once ignored become the best reasons. Huh, isn't that so?

I've always advertised myself as someone who doesn't believe in love, but now I know that I'm actually a stupid B man who yearns for true love! Longing for nothingness? Yes, in fact, in fact, this kind of love is almost as slim as the chance of winning 5 million! So what else can I do? In addition to being realistic and striving for wealth, can I wait like a coward? FUCK ME! I was defeated by my own absurdity, I was hurting myself with things I hated and despised, but there was nothing I could do. Maybe, everything is destined to be a tragedy, we are all hopeless Oedipus!

Ring of the Nibelungs quotes

  • Brunnhild: Once I loved a man, who I thought the gods themselves had sent me. I loved the whole world because he was in it. Long we were parted but I could bear it because I knew he would return one day. But when he came again it was as if his heart had been wiped clean. I loved him as I had but he did not love me. We were strangers as before we had met.

  • Kriemhild: Once I loved a man who did not love me and I could not bear it if the world was to be a place without him. So when Hagen came to me with an unholy thing that would banish the memory of old loves and plant a new one there, I was blinded...
