Why shouldn't people be happy every day? You have probably heard the saying: "Happiness is one day, and unhappiness
is one day. Why not be happy every day?" It is not to criticize those who pursue happiness, but to pursue something, it must be because such a thing cannot be possessed often. In fact, the pursuit of happiness is what most of us do, but before reaching that goal, we have to do two reluctant things every now and then to satisfy our conscience. "To bring peace to the soul," Maugham said. In Inside Out, happiness, sadness, fear, anger, and disgust live in our brains and control our emotions. Among them, happiness is obviously the main helmsman, and the island extended by happiness - family, fantasy, innocence, and reason become the little girl Riley's haven. Before Riley moved, he was undoubtedly a happy child, with a happy family, getting along well with friends, and a favorite ice hockey. Joy tried to reverse the trend many times. After Riley ran away from home and experienced setbacks for the first time, she finally understood that her emotions needed to be vented, and the outlet of venting did not have to be happiness. She could yell when she was angry, Cover your ears when you're disgusted, curl up when you're scared, and cry capriciously when you're sad. See, happiness isn't everything in life. I am very afraid of people who exude positive energy all over their bodies. These people seem to have enclosed themselves in a confined space, tightening their whole bodies, blocking the gaps in their bodies, leaving no room for their emotions to breathe and settle. And everyone is born with gaps. Ma Nan Bojack said: "Sometimes I feel like I have a gap. Every time I try to do good things, these things flow out of my body, and nothing remains." We travel through the mountains and rivers of time, and too many qualities are lost from the body. Happiness will be lost, innocence will be lost, after this kind of peeling and cocooning, it is about "growth" and "maturity", and more joining the world, that's all. Ma Nan is out of tune with the world. He thinks he can see it thoroughly. In fact, he only knows a lot of routines and little sincerity, so he refuses to discover the possibility of sincerity.
If he is really cynical, he is also a master of the world, but he can't really jump out.
In the 11th episode of the first season, Ma Nan took drugs and hit a high, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time broke out. The lack, regret, fear, and yearning in the bottom of his heart were presented one by one. Everyone has a place in their heart that has not yet collapsed. For Ma Nan, this person is the lakeside hut where the deer is located. He never forgets a kiss 20 years ago, and when his consciousness is chaotic, he imagines another possibility: There, he and Xiaolu lived a plain life by the lake. They hugged each other and watched the stars. He accompanied his daughter to play in the lake, and watched her daughter have a boyfriend and gnashed her teeth, just like every ordinary person. .
The grass that has never been stepped on has become the habitat of the soul, where the vegetation is exuberant, and there is a real Unnamed Lake, where swans make their homes, and wild ducks have a full meal on their stomachs. If you don't touch it, this place can be an eternal paradise, gently wrapping you every time you try to escape.
But Ma Nan didn't, because he was asked "When was the last time you were really happy?" The first thing that came to mind was Xiaolu, so he dared to abandon all his work and life, and went to this old friend who actually only had a brief kiss.
Like every moment of our blood, we think that by destroying everything that exists, we can obtain Nirvana.
But are you a phoenix?
It is impossible to live two lives at the same time. Every choice you make is pulling you away from the other choice. No one will have a second life. This is probably the case. The trajectory of life brought about by a series of choices has never been satisfactory everywhere, and we will always regret it, ask questions, and never regret the beginning.
But every choice is an epitaph engraved in the genes.
The happiness that Ma Nan pursues is the numbness day after day, the rush of his head, he is not happy, and he is trapped by the moral law in his heart. He wants to be a good person, but he always destroys all existing beauty with his own hands.
Restricting one's own behavior is definitely not a good feeling. After all, reckless behavior is a primitive gene lurking in the blood. It is restless and eyeing, waiting for an opportunity to break the rules in your heart.
Ma Nan's experience taught me: nothing will get better because you're still the lousy version of yourself.
There are also types like Strickland in The Moon and Sixpence.
Strickland got the apocalypse at a certain moment, and he had no foundation in painting. He resolutely gave up his family and career and came to Paris alone. He was poor and out of place, but nothing could stop him from having to paint, other than that. Nothing can shake him. This impulse and enthusiasm flowed in his body, supporting him to abandon everything, bear the infamy, and go his own way.
And to maintain maximum indifference to the world. Otherwise, it is easy to be overwhelmed by the moral bottom line, and it is also a mess of your own life. The horse man is "you don't fall in love with me when you don't know me, and leave me after you really understand me", and Strick Rand sneered at the painter who had been helping him but with mediocre qualifications, and even slept with his wife without feeling embarrassed at all.
If I had to pick one person to do what I wanted to do, I would pick Strickland. He is the one who was "chosen by God", and finally he painted a shocking work in the dilapidated thatched hut, and spied the biggest secret and truth in the universe.
This "must do" urge ("do nothing" is also a "must do") is the original drive that drives everyone to roll back and forth.
After the age of 40, Strickland is free, no longer tied, no longer attached, and has committed himself to a great cause with a vague prospect but a clear mind.
Returning to everyday life, most people are destined not to become Strickland, and most importantly, talent. Most people take the initiative to choose and can only become a person with average qualifications. The value we create is a reasonable price set by the society layer by layer.
Finally, send the [Important Opinion] last week's push, dream, money, time, it is best to choose only one, and then pursue that to the extreme.
