In the film, Mrs Thatcher said that what she likes most is thinking, and now people like to feel, to feel the change of things, rather than to think about the change of things. People in the past expected to do something great, but people now really want to be someone. This passage is like a blow to the head. Isn't this also the case in our era? China today is indeed stronger than before. The number of college students is also increasing, as are graduate and doctoral students. But are those so-called undergraduate and master students really the high-quality talents we call them? Including those who returned from studying abroad gradually became popular to become "sea turtles" and "kelp", and gradually drowned in the "sea of people". Have to arouse people's thinking. Many people say that there is a problem with China's education and the education system. I admit that I agree with this view. But going back to the source, the most fundamental thing is what Mrs Thatcher said. We have gradually lived with our senses instead of our brains, and we have not thought. Everyone doesn't need to think.
In the city, the festivities and the intoxication tempt everyone to pursue those pleasures, and those in the countryside also hope that their next generation can get this kind of life. These splendid material life attracted groups of people to walk to the single-plank bridge on the cliff. Everyone crowded their heads and wanted to pass, but when they crossed the bridge, they found that it was not a piece of paradise, but a cliff. You can try ziplining over the cliff, or pay the price to use the cable car to go over the cliff, or watch others go by and falter yourself, because no one can guarantee that after passing, it will be heaven. Gradually, more and more people crowded this place. People who have never crossed the single-plank bridge tried their best to cross the bridge. But the reality seems to be that way. The documentary "Why Poverty" tells such a story, but at the end of the story, the children who seem to have crossed the bridge are wandering and confused, staring at the cliff in a daze. Thinking, this time to stop. Like a rusted machine. When we went through the "Battle of the Single-plank Bridge", we expected to relax beyond what others thought. In those few years of comfortable life, we no longer wanted to pursue noble things and knowledge. Over time, we gradually realized that we had crossed the bridge. It's just that, it's getting harder and harder for people who can get on the cable car.
There is another kind of person who is cowardly, even if he or she has the opportunity to take the cable car, he or she will have acrophobia. And Mrs Thatcher hated such a person the most, because she was the kind of person who was as tough as iron. Only the person who puts in the effort and desperately strives for what you want will get and cherish what he or she wants. It is with this kind of thinking that her idea of raising taxes is no longer opposed by lawmakers (in the film), whether it is the right approach or not, it is a political issue, but her words are indeed sobering. Kant said this: "Enlightenment is the liberation of man from a state of self-inflicted immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to exercise one's own reason without the teaching of others. The reason why this immaturity is self-inflicted is that The reason is not the lack of reason, but the lack of determination and courage to use one's reason without the teaching of others." Weakness. It's not that I can't do it, but I don't have the courage and determination, because I'm afraid that someone will be pushed off the cliff from the cable car halfway. In fact, no one can do this, and the risk factor is not as big as imagined.
It is easy for us to see the success and brilliance of others, but the tears behind them are invisible. As the first female prime minister in British history, Mrs Thatcher naturally paid a great price. Her time with her family was so limited that even though she loved them, she couldn't even look at a single painting of the children. Even if she is the Prime Minister, when she is old, she can't see her son easily again, and she will die alone. But I don't think she will regret it, because she has tried her best to be perfect in her life. At the end of the film, she finally let go of her past and freed herself from her hallucinations. This may be the proof.
We strive for perfection, but it can never be perfect. Even doing it without regrets takes amazing courage.
