life is a circle

I still remember when I used to do the test questions, I was testing which of the following superpowers I hoped to have:

see through eyes or know that someone else’s heart
predicts that the future
will fly . I
can pass through the

first point and I immediately removed it, because I didn’t have the desire to voyeurize, and I lost the interest of exploring each other. ;
The second I thought about it, but I gave up, because it is painful to know in advance when I or someone close to me will die. It is better to let fate decide rather than control it;
I chose the third because I have longed to fly since I was a child. , that kind of feeling of freedom and detachment, and being able to be with the sky and the clouds, how wonderful~ Then I can be in Beijing for a while, Tokyo for a while, Greece for the next second, and then jump to the top of the Mayan pile~ No need Applying for a visa...the more I talk about it, the more fantasy :P
As for the fourth item, I was very hesitant at the time, because I was very curious about the history, and the second item is also very interested in the future, and crossing the word actually means surpassing time. On top of that, can human insecurities disappear from now on?

ちょっといって

This is an idea in the mind of an adult who has experienced countless worldly sins, but if you were 16 or 7 years old, you and I should not have a "fake profound" from the perspective of life philosophy and life evolution. ?

In the Japanese dramas I have watched so far, there are teenagers who have developed the habit of using superpowers terribly. For example, Yagami Moon in "Death Note", when the once punishing evil and promoting the good become a kind of vain control, the final result is Destruction, this is a story of self-destruction with superpowers;
then there are those who use it first, then wake up and overcome difficulties, such as Atsushi Horikita in "Return to Youth", this is the first non-anime saying in my memory A yellowish old film that travels through and is a little gloomy and touching;
Of course, there is also "The Girl Who Traveled Through Time and Space". Makoto's confusion and kindness made the process of possessing this superpower so fleeting, if it wasn't for a series of changes in the present brought about by the passing of the past. , she may never know what the price behind the superpower is, just as she pouted and laughed at herself: the last time she used it was to escape the little panic of the person she actually liked revealing that she had superpowers.

Makoto also has a "temporary" superpower because she touched the instrument that Qian Zhao brought back from the future. Because she always uses her superpowers to go back to the past infinitely to sing K, go back to a certain moment to eat delicious food made by her mother infinitely, no longer need to worry about exams infinitely, no longer need to worry about being late for class infinitely... Youth and wonderful super powers use textbooks! So even Qian Zhao said: Fortunately, you picked this up, not someone else.

Just like when scientists invented the atomic bomb, their intentions were good, because it was a kind of transcendence of the times. At that time, things were two-way or multi-directional. When this terrible weapon was used by the state apparatus or politics, human society was ruined. In the same way, having superpowers is not a fun thing. You have to pay the so-called price for the things you have interfered with, no matter how big or small, no matter how painful or not.

I have always admired the director who can handle the details well. "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" is positioned as a tender youth animation, and it should be taken back after the divergent thinking is extended. The sentence uttered by the witch aunt who knows Makoto defines the final outcome: If it is Makoto's character, she should run to pick him up, right? Although superpowers cannot be used indiscriminately, the consequences are very chaotic. Just like a little white sheep, go forward bravely, make a leap, and all return to the beginning.

Finally heard the sentence: I am waiting for you in the future. Yes, in the future, there will be no more superpowers, no more mistakes of adolescence, some good things have been missed, and some compensations have been made. Life always has to try, no matter the ending is good or bad, because this is youth that only comes once in a lifetime.

Time waits for no one.
