1. Take a shower
When Kalinda was investigating the hospital case, he told a hospital nurse that it shouldn't be easy for you to see so many births, old age, sickness and death every day. The carer's answer was:
Yeah, I usually look at the bright side of things. And sometimes there isn't a bright side. I have to go home, take a shower and wash it out.
Yes, though we all try to find the light Look at things positively, but sometimes there is no bright side. It really doesn’t make sense to drink chicken blood and soup. Then go home, take a hot bath, and let everything pass. That's right, it's not to find a group of friends to ramble about to become Xianglin's sister-in-law, or to drink and smoke to create false spiritual comfort. Instead, go home, take a hot shower, and let everything pass in a quiet, clean, warm, and refreshing way.
In my impression, Shower is often used in American novels as a way to express how female characters remain calm and self-organized in the face of setbacks and lows. In the novel version of "Silence of the Lambs", Stalin took a shower to regain his calm and stable emotions. In "Angel's Wrath", facing the fate of being disqualified as a lawyer, Jennifer left Adam who came to investigate outside, and took good care of herself. Took a shower. I don't know if it's because the shower represents some time to be completely quiet and face yourself, the hot water relaxes the muscles and mind, the scent of the body wash and shampoo soothes the mood and washes away the hustle and bustle of the day. , regained a posture where you can start over.
2. What do I want
Alicia was asked, what do you want? She said:
What do I want? I want a happy life, and I want to control my fate.
Who doesn't want to? But who can say it clearly and clearly in the first place, this is what I want. In fact, maybe Alicia in the first season wants more of the old life not to be disillusioned, maybe she just graduated from Georgetown, what she wants more is a happy family. But after experiencing ups and downs in her relationship and career, she can finally say very clearly that what I want is to control my life. This is the moment when the character grows to maturity, breaks through all attached identities, and becomes himself.
In contrast, we talk about facing ourselves every day, but we can clearly separate money, status, and social influence, find what we really need in our hearts, and express it clearly. How many people are there? This is the difference between conscious and unconscious, and when you have that awareness, many choices and practices will be different. The things that will make you waver will be trivial in the face of this clear manifesto.
3. I just might quit
Dian After losing the justice nomination, Kalinda asked her what her future plans were. she says:
I don't know. The world is so confusing right now. I justmight quit and go live in New Zealand.
In fact, there is nothing about New Zealand in Dian's story from beginning to end . This New Zealand is simply untouchable. To the mind, which one is it talking about? But think about ourselves, is there such a moment when we feel that we don't understand the world at all, and we just want to escape, go to an unrelated place, and relax. Let go of office politics, economic pressure, career ambitions, family disputes, and emotional entanglements, whether you go to New Zealand or the Maldives, in short, any place that has nothing to do with real life, and pretend to let it go completely. But how many times has this idea been implemented?
No one can really Quit, and Quit is never a good idea. Those who bite the bullet and go down may seem embarrassed, but after this period of time, they may also be vast. Don't try to understand the world because it must be confusing, but life goes on.
4. Be tired
Alicia's run for state attorney ended up being a dead end for dirty political maneuvering. Peter, who was separated, came to comfort her, saying:
It's okey. Be tired. Rest. Read a book. Recharge the batteries.
No matter how many flaws the character of Peter Florick has, he is a politician who has experienced storms and has seen big scenes. Of all the characters, Peter is probably the one who sees the ups and downs the most, and is always fighting. So at this time, only he can comfort Alicia. This kind of comfort is not a slap in the face or an empty spiritual exhortation, but a very simple suggestion. First of all, it's totally OK to feel exhausted, if you feel tired, don't beat yourself up, Be tired. Rest, read, recharge. A very simple trilogy, but it is a life-saving medicine that saves you from indulging in the past, and from overdoing it and going to the other extreme. So if Take a shower can't solve the problem, then use Peter's upgraded suggestion to face it. In fact, the role of the two is the same, you have to find a way, the only way is to fall back to a comfortable self, and then there is the possibility of reloading.
