To live, or to die?

Suicide, the end of life, is both a metaphysical philosophical proposition and a metaphysical behavioral problem. It can be analyzed both rationally and ethically. Therefore, Shakespeare instructed Hamlet to ask God: To be, or not to be: that is the question. Fang Fang: In principle, life is a right, not an obligation. I choose to end myself because I feel that life is worse than death— ——Thinking of the leisurely life of heaven and earth, I was alone but weeping——It’s better to be clean after a hundred times than to continue to be tortured by the bleak life. Anti: Wait a minute, at this moment of despair, is your rationality really that 'rational'? Or to put it more informally, do you regret your decision at this time? Maybe in a few years, the salted fish will turn around, and the willows will become brighter? Zhengfang: Well, take a step back. Not only am I in a desperate situation now, but I will not be able to get better in my lifetime. To live is definitely torturing myself - can I just die? Opposite: Wait a minute, before that, you might as well open your eyes a little and look around, there are still two-thirds of the working people in the world struggling in dire straits, you don’t need to go to statistics to know that you are 100% impossible It's the worst one. There are millions of people whose life is better than death, all of them are alive and well, why can't you think about those who are much better than them? Zheng Fang: Wait a minute, whether my own life is over, and whether my life with others is satisfactory, there is no logical cause and effect, right? Can't I have to steal my life just because others are living? For example, Romeo and Juliet cut themselves off just because there is no other person in the world. That's because he and she both feel that the world without each other is meaningless. Yes, the meaning of life is different for everyone, only you are the ruler of your own meaning. Since life is a choice of individual free will, and since all the happiness and suffering of life must be borne by the individual, then the individual's choice should be respected, including the choice to die. Next, let's talk about the movie, the 2005 Oscar's best foreign language film "The Sea Inside" adapted from a true story

Ramon accidentally injured his neck while diving, resulting in a high paraplegia and has been bedridden for 26 years. His life is completely incapable of taking care of himself, and he has to rely on his family to take care of everything. His only hope is to die with dignity. To this end, he launched a lawsuit and asked the Spanish government to allow him to be assisted suicide by others and implement euthanasia. Julia is a lawyer who came to help him appeal the case, and Rosa is a single mother with two children in a local town. When they get along with Ramon, they are touched by his warm smile and fall in love with him. Julia herself was also tormented by repeated strokes, and had a tendency to degenerate into a vegetative state, so she and Ramon had a high degree of compatibility. She helped Ramon organize and publish her own poetry collection, and agreed to die with Ramon when the new book was published. , Unfortunately, by then, she herself has been unable to control herself. When Rosa was troubled by feelings, when she first came into contact with Ramon, she was actually helping him to construct her own meaning in life. She has been trying to convince Ramon to live, but in the end she was moved by Ramon and finally assisted him in his death. There are two most exciting passages: one is when he goes to the courthouse in the car, an exciting drum beat music is used as the background, and a scene flashes by the roadside: a young mother pulls a running little girl, an old woman pulls Walking home with a shopping cart, a seven- or eight-year-old brother is holding the hand of a three- or four-year-old brother under the stone cross shrine by the roadside, a pair of young lovers are walking up the hillside hand in hand, two dogs are mating, an old woman is sitting In the hay-stuffed tractor carriage, cyclists in helmets were struggling to climb the slopes - and finally, under the blue sky and white clouds, the rotating blades of many huge wind turbines were full of motion. The other is in the aria of 'No one sleeps tonight', Ramon imagines himself flying out of the window, over fields, hills, canyons, mountains, to the seaside he misses day and night, Julia standing on the beach, they embrace each other, Then the kiss... The first-person camera shot across the sky and slipped to the sea as free as a bird, but at the end of the song, he woke up, and he was still in bed and couldn't move... The music in this film is very good, and the scenery of Spain is also very good. It's really beautiful, and the reflections on life in it are also very interesting, and it's worth seeing.

    The description of suffering is insufficient, and the director's preconceived notions are too strong
