The hearts of ordinary people are vulnerable, and we are all ordinary people.
Ned in the film is always talking loudly about who he is and encouraging others to speak out. Indeed, he has too much to worry about, but everyone's situation is different, so other people say: "You can't interfere with others. "I used to think that this sentence is very reasonable, whether it is from the point that you have the right to decide your own affairs, or the point of not making more trouble for yourself; so even if you sometimes want to intervene in other people's affairs. Or advice would be restrained as well.
But now I feel that this sentence should not be believed. If everyone only looks at other people's lives as a bystander, then the world is too boring and depressing. Think about it if no one interferes in your life, you are an observed, no one will tell you if you are wrong, You're right, no one will support you, you're entertaining yourself and doing a one-man show... If no one really interferes in your life, then you're probably going to die.
Intervention may lead to conflict and even sacrifice, just like the characters in the film have to admit what they dare not admit and the self that they have never faced under Ned's strong interference, and these all require struggle and courage , If it is not brought up by Ned, these precious things will never be activated; and I think that beauty is produced from these things, and it is the best miracle that breaks through the encirclement and blooms in life.
Therefore, if you always talk about "can't interfere in other people's lives", it may be because you are not satisfied with your own life. So there is no more strength to be a force in the lives of others, and less courage to find the true self and be satisfied and proud of it.
Life is called life because it is connected with life.
