Open Ending Means Much-WHAT IF

We can't see a life without choices, we can only taste the bitters and sweets in the established life. I have heard a very interesting theory, which describes that life is the result of "combination" in mathematics, and this result is constituted by the choices we make at each intersection; the more intersections we experience, the more There will be countless "combinations" in life, and there will be countless possibilities. Unfortunately, in real life, what we live is only one of these countless possible lives. It may not be the best and the most perfect, but it may not be the worst and the worst, but it must be the most cherished and grateful.

Jack (Nicolas Cage) in "Family Guy" is made a joke by God. When he woke up, he suddenly changed from an elite single rich man on Wall Street to a family man in a small apartment in the suburbs of New York, with a beautiful wife Kate and lovely children. At the airport boarding gate 13 years ago, when Kate said "stay here" with tears, Jack still boarded the plane to work hard for the so-called future of the two; When he woke up alone in the most expansive and magnificent view of Manhattan, he felt "I've already had everything." It wasn't until God gave him a chance to glimpse (experience) that he realized that what he had missed in his decision 13 years ago was the ordinary but happy family life and his beloved wife and children. I love Jack's confession at the airport to Kate who is about to start a new career in Paris after returning to real life: Only a cup of coffee, please, Kate. You could go to Paris whenever you want, but not tonight. Yes , all you have to do is grasp the present.

In the movie poster, Jack, who is looking at his other life outside the window, has two small words next to him - What if...

Unfortunately, there is no rehearsal in life, and there is no way to rewind it. Live in the moment, cherish the moment, and believe in the power of the moment.
