Awareness of life

Inadvertently found that a book he loved ten years ago was made into a movie of the same name in the United States. Watching a movie is equivalent to revisiting the insights from reading a book, but the movie time is limited, and the story is viewed from the director's point of view, which is much thinner than the book.

When you decide to kill yourself, you don't succeed, but you do irreversible damage to your body. The aneurysm that connects the heart can burst at any time, lurking in the body like an untimed bomb. Is this a joke or a gift from God?

Veronika said, "I will meet a gentle man, we will make love a lot of times in the first year of marriage, then in the second and third years less and less, and when there is no passion at all, there will be a child. After that Mortgage repayment, I gradually become a workaholic, my husband quarrels when he has a lover, and when his husband has a second lover, he pretends not to know..." The life of seeing the head at a glance is frightening, it is better to end it now.

Yet life is like playing the piano, sometimes you just want to slap the keyboard hard with both hands, and all that comes out is anger and disorganized catharsis with no way out; a lot of times, life is like the soothing movement in the background music of this movie, without anger , not surging, but plain and true; when you know that time is short, you will finally calm down and interpret the truth of life with your soul, so that you and I are intoxicated.

The most shocking scene in the book is now when I watch the movie again, because I understand it, it’s not shocking anymore, and it also coincides with the truth I recently realized: Don’t expect happiness from others, happiness can only be found by yourself ; Just like no one can give you warmth, only the quilt can give you warmth.

I like the movie where two lonely people meet in a mental hospital. Because it is not affected by the world, if you like a person, you can directly hold his hand. After a few years of not speaking, the first sentence I said was "I think, you have become the most important person to me". When the two were eating taco by the roadside, Edward asked Veronika: "How do you feel?" Veronika said "I feel like I can live forever". Because they may leave at any time, they cherish it, so it is a gift.

Each day is a miracle.
