Soloists never lack an audience

Soloists and audiences, who is the protagonist and who is the supporting role, is not determined by who is in the spotlight on the stage, but depends on who has influenced who and who has changed who. This is a kind of competition. In the melodious music, our minds follow, and we become the affected supporting roles.

In the past, I was very envious of people like reporters in the film, who could use their hobbies to make money, that is to say, their livelihood was their hobby at the same time, and they would not be entangled in allocating their time on bread for subsistence. The ideal of self-realization is good, such a problem.

Now, I am envious of people like the tramp in the film. Ideal and reality can be separated very much, even spiritually. That is to say, even if it is difficult for him to survive, he can find spiritual compensation beyond survival. He has his god and his Beethoven. Looking back at the complacent people who took hobbies to make money? Making a living is destined to be limited by people, because you want to take something, you want money, and you want to make a living, so you have to compromise, compromise with your own hobbies and even spiritual ideals, I am afraid that after a long time, you will lose interest. Hobbies and spiritual ideals are lost together.

Man, why do you have to let others live in their own way, only to think that they are helping them find happiness? Besides, is your own way of being happy? Even if it is true for you, is it true for others as well? Reaching out when the other party doesn't even realize they need help will not be pulling, but pushing. The latter is more compulsive than the former.

Be optimistic about your own stage and be your own audience. Life has always been a solo performance.
