We read books, watch movies, and listen to songs. In fact, what we see and hear is ourselves. This movie, especially. Sections of dialogue that you don't know why, if you can catch yourself, write it down, if you can't figure it out, skip it. There is no professional taste, and after this pot of hodgepodge, there are touches, and there is a moment of emotional connection with myself, which is all good.
1. "Language is what we create, but it describes many things that can only be understood, such as frustration, love."
What does it mean to you when I say these words? Frustration is childhood bullying, failed exams, or failed job applications; love is the heartbeat at a certain moment, the pain at the moment of losing the other person, or the feeling when two hearts are happy? We all use our own experiences and feelings to fill in the inherent meaning of words. We may be talking about the same thing, but we're not really talking about the same thing, we're talking about where we are in it. A lot of times words don't convey the meaning. Our world is constructed by language, not reproduced by language. It is language that speaks to us, not that we speak language.
2. "The ruling class wants us to be passive bystanders, and let us learn to live with all this calamity and evil."
This is a rather novel point of view. The power class likes chaos. Chaos is a ladder. They can rely on their power to profit from chaos. They have created a series of disasters. They also tell us that this is the way the world is. Let us learn to work with All these disasters and evil coexist and become passive bystanders.
(Urban issues such as poverty and racism serve the interests of the propertied classes, not only providing them with a lot of cheap labor, but also making workers who should be in the same class politically contradict each other and cannot become a political group to exercise power.)
3. "The number of human beings has doubled in the past forty years. Are most of them new-born souls and some reincarnations?"
4. "Science has reached the point of replacing God."
Durkheim said in his suicide theory that the advancement of science and technology has overturned religions and destroyed people's spiritual sustenance, but they have not provided corresponding substitutes. The periodic table of chemical elements is cool, and rockets are also cool, but right There is little point in improving the spiritual life of ordinary people.
5. "We are just a complex arrangement of carbon molecules, and we have to follow the laws of nature."
6. "There is a high point. After I arrived, my growth and changes stopped. What I didn't realize when I was young was endless curiosity. Curiosity is the true meaning of being a human being."
Curiosity is the essence of being a human being.
7. "You're holding a picture of yourself when you're a year old and you need to tell a story to prove it's who you are."
8. "Our cells are completely renewed every four years, and we have become a whole new person several times, but we remain our spiritual selves."
The one-year-old me and the current me are not the same me mentally and physically. I don’t know the one-year-old me, and I don’t remember what happened to the one-year-old.
9. "Three thousand years ago and now, most people are still as ordinary, what causes this endless futility, fear or laziness?"
Good question to be discussed.
10. "Break the continuum of everyday experience, and all the normal thoughts that accompany it."
Everyday experience is a very magical thing, and there are also habit and conformity in it. When I am around my friends for a long time, I feel that I should do the same thing with them. After leaving this environment for a few days, all these thoughts entangled me again. All of a sudden they disappeared, as if they never existed. When I return to this environment a little bit, the same thoughts will appear again, but they are not as absolute as before. After I quit to see this, I can clearly realize what I really need. Yes, which ones are gregarious psychology. From time to time we should break the continuum of our daily experience, and a lot of our troubles are simply because we are in this mountain.
11. “Sever the spell of material consumption social ideology, so that our repressed desire for a more believable essence can be satisfied, proving the difference between what is and should be.”
truth.
12. “We are limited by the world, and those constraints happen to be our own making.”
Live in harmony with them, but always be vigilant and questioning.
