Failed explorer

There is a popular belief among anthropologist that you must immerse yourself in unfamiliar world, in order to know YOU.

It’s been too long in this familiar city.

Because of habit, so ignore. I ignored my inner desires, the changes of the people around me, and the restlessness concealed by the peaceful life.

At the beginning of 2007, I wrote here: "God blocked a wall in front of me, but opened a window." Then it became a truth.

Then turn around and leave, can you see another side of this world?

Everything in the past is far away, whether it is the piano boy with the flower head, the top student who walks on the campus and is treated as a monster, or the escaper who hates school. Those selves have stayed in the long river of time. They can never catch up to me anymore.

When I was very young, I thought that thinking was my personal patent. Then, I felt deeply sad when I found that the people around me also possessed the same ability, or even more outstanding. So who am I? Is it another child down the human reproduction pipeline, or a unique individual?

This is a question that is destined to have no answer. This is a sphinx mystery that has been questioned by countless ancestors. Therefore, I chose to follow the rhythm of fate, like most people, step by step. Eventually became one of the many beings, no longer caring about "Who am I?" and

started watching movies with the theme of "searching for myself". See "The Devil Through Prada" bit by bit, "Lost in Tokyo", people in "Fight Club" all choose to "amnesia", "American Beauty" lives a "life with a glass of wine", and "Nanny" in the Upper East Side A "reality show" was staged in front of the surveillance camera, and the "sea pianist" played the "rhythm forgotten by my heart". . . . . .

The screenwriters let these confused people "find themselves" at the end. However, what I see is just a group of people who stop exploring and settle for the status quo in their lives. They actually did not find the answer, but when the setbacks came, when the suffering passed, they ruled out some interference options.

The closer you are to the truth, the easier it is for people to give up because they think they have already got it, because no one has got the "truth" before.

Before ending a failed exploration and embarking on a new journey, please allow me to end this non-prose and non-film review with a question mark.

So who am I?

The Nanny Diaries quotes

  • Annie Braddock: Okay Mrs. X, now it's time for a few simple childcare rules.

    Jane Gould: Oh, alright, the teddy bear has been compromised.

    Annie Braddock: Slamming the door in your kid's face is *not* okay. Spending more time on a benefit for kids that you've never met than you do with your own blood is *not* okay. Going to a SPA when your son has a fever of a hundred and four and not answering emergency calls, that officially makes you an unfit mother.

    Mrs. X: This is outrageous. Stop the tape.

    Jane Gould: Uh, no. This is clearly a disgruntled nanny. W-we might have something to learn here.

    Annie Braddock: Now I know that you're all pretty busy with your hair appointments, and your watsu massages and your attempts to stay young so your husbands won't leave you. But here's an idea! Why don't you try eating dinner with your child every once in a blue moon. And heads up here, lady, try smiling once in a while. People hate you.

  • Jamaican Nanny: Stop eatin' them boogers!
