The drowning man cannot reach the shore

Everything lost, a horrific voyage, a continuation of 100 minutes of hopelessness, hope and salvage, until life was lost.

100 minutes later, the biggest question is probably why you should sail alone.
Whether the answer is in the ring.

There is no doubt that this is a stubborn old man, of advanced age, who goes out to sea alone.
The same old man, Santiago is much luckier, even though the tools are much more rudimentary.
And what Robert has, apart from this modernly equipped ship, may just be a broken and strong heart.

Have the courage to face and accept everything, and try your best to solve the difficulties.
But, is it useful.

Robert was missing something. He is strong from the outside.
That's it before departure.
Whether it's anger, or an agreement, or any other reason.
There is no complete preparation before departure, no alternatives, no way back, no worries.
On the road so hard, maybe I haven't seriously thought about what I will encounter.
For a man of sound mind and a healthy mind who has lived for so long, this should not have happened.
Unless, he was just waiting for something to happen.

Robert is in the ocean, and the ocean is always full of images. Generous, unknown, and, drowning, death.
Same as Robert's.
Melancholy and sticky grief wrapped him around him, devouring his joy, his mind, until it was dragged into the deep, deep, dark seabed.

The outer world is a reflection of yourself.
Debris, waves, storms, sharks are the feedback of Robert's own state of mind.
This is the case in the objective world, and even more so in his heart.
Emotions have no outlet, ships have no way out, drifting on the sea that has lost its direction.
Although Robert tried his best to get out of here.
However, good fortune fools people. Always a step behind.
So the shark bit him harder.
Finally, the fire burned through the lifeboat and he fell into the sea.

Robert was dead, and at the same time, he was really saved.
In such never-ending internal and external difficulties, he struggled, but fell deeper and deeper into more and more difficulties. He was stubbornly trying to resist all the problems, but the problems were in him—pessimism, disappointment, grief that was forced to restrain, strength that pretended to be optimistic. Still insisting on a result.
The world and reality give him results.
Robert, are you satisfied?

The drowning person cannot reach the shore, and at this moment, these problems cannot be solved by him alone.
People who are drowning need help, feel like they are doing something wrong, and cry out for help.

Don't hide and suppress the sadness in your heart. When you are sad, please shout out loudly, cry out, learn to ask for help, and learn to accept your pain. Then, everything will end.
In this way, new life is waiting for you, not death.
