"If you exalt the righteous deeds too much, you will indirectly praise the evil" - "The Plague"
It was only now that I realized that I felt alive except for the stomachache. The rest were eating and drinking in a daze and waiting for death, completely detached from life: shirk at work, and a small stinky ditch caused the common people to run and break their legs. Frayed mouth. . . In life, because his wife died young, he devoted his whole heart to his son, completely lost his ego, and then his son was not filial, and only cared about his father's savings and pension.
People who have not lived a good, full and wonderful life are especially afraid of sudden illness and death, and have a particularly strong desire to survive. Freud said that "sex" is the driving force behind everything, and "sex" is desire, instinct. "Food sex is also", but unfortunately he has stomach cancer, and he can neither eat nor find a young lady. He can only watch the young girl eat and eat with a strong appetite, resign regardless, and live a life full of vitality.
Inspired by his female subordinates, he suddenly realized that if he finds something he can do, is willing to do, and takes the initiative to do, he can also find the courage to continue living. . . So in the young man's "Happy Birthday" singing, he was reborn again.
Under his indomitable leadership, the stinky ditch was filled, the park was built, and of course he died, singing the songs of his youth on the park's swing. . . At the funeral, people came to express their gratitude and condolences, and colleagues rushed to recall his greatness.
In fact, he was just driven by the "instinct of the desire to live", taking this as a fulcrum, seeking to overcome the difficulties of life, and he had no intention of being a great person at all. From an objective point of view, he just fulfilled his responsibilities and did what he should do. The reason why the common people are grateful to Dade and my colleagues are full of praise is only because the bureaucracy in government departments is too serious and everyone is insensitive, so the trivial things that should be done have become heroic feats, just like during World War II, the anti-fascist and anti-Hitler war became a song and tears. In fact, everyone knows that if everyone wakes up and does something, that kind of man-made disaster can be completely avoided.
Man's actions are dominated by desires, and the desire to survive makes him ignore death, give birth to great courage, overcome many difficulties, and concentrate on doing what he should do and want to do. At that time, he was focused and free. Those who enjoy and fearless are those who have found themselves, those who deeply realize "I act, therefore I am", those who have tasted the joy of serving others, and those who have experienced the joy of construction. . . Start with the end in mind and live in the moment, maybe you will not only change yourself, you may be able to influence your family, friends, colleagues, and even quietly shake the earth. "I choose, I act, I exist".
