The shadow of despair in life

Imelda 2021-12-27 08:01:54

It's not good to be honest about how often you are desperate, let alone write it out for others to read. After all, this is a negative emotion, full of negative energy. Life is not easy. If you still indulge in sadness and depression too much, it will inevitably affect your quality of life. This is definitely not a good tendency. As Nietzsche said: "When you are staring at the abyss, the abyss is staring at you." Therefore, the soul chicken soup is warm and positive, and the positive and optimistic attitude towards life is more popular. What's the good in exposing your weakness and negativity too much? Can only be looked down upon?

Therefore, most people choose to hide and suppress their fragile side. There are many people who get out of trouble with their own strong will in life, and I should learn from them. No matter how I face life with a smile, I have always only admired and envied people with such beliefs. I really hope that everyone in this world can be as strong, optimistic, and confident as they are... But sometimes emotions are difficult. Self-control.

It is not only the weakness of my personality and all the difficulties and bad things in life that make me desperate about life, but sometimes the external environment also makes me feel desperate. Let’s not talk about the impact of the deteriorating ecological environment on us due to the wanton actions of human beings. I will start with some scenes I have seen with my own eyes. The most unacceptable thing for me is the fake and shoddy engineering everywhere, the masonry road just paved, the bicycle passing by, the sound of bricks cocked up and down all the way, and every time it rains, I accidentally step on a piece of it. The loose bricks are about to splash you. Or maybe the newly built riverside green belt, within a year or two, the railings on the riverside have already been tilted, and the bricks and stones have been broken to the ground. With the arrival of spring, the garden workers were busy planting a batch of trees and green plants. As a result, the planting was not in place, and a large area of ​​death occurred within a short period of time. All of this is what I have seen with my own eyes, and every time I see it, it hurts so much.

All of the above work was done at a lot of cost back and forth. The government has given a lot of money, and the working people have also contributed a lot. However, due to the lack of supervision, the quality of the project is difficult to tell. However, this type of problem is not as serious as the collapse of a house in the earthquake, and there is probably no accountability afterwards. Anyway, the money is spent, and the work is considered complete. As for the effect, it seems that no one cares about how long it can be in good condition. The most damning thing is that these projects will be completed very well in the vicinity of government departments. As for other places, the quality seems to be no one cares about.

There are also roads that are constantly being renovated. Paved today, and excavated tomorrow. Laying the pipe network today, repairing the water tomorrow? The endless destruction is going on almost every day. Urban traffic is inherently bad, and road construction and road closures make the traffic worse. Although there will inevitably be many construction sites in urban construction, it is clear that a lot of work is carried out in disorder and without long-term considerations. Sometimes when I take a taxi, I complain to drivers about road repairs. Drivers often say that this is because someone needs to spend money. Once the project starts, many people in all sectors and departments can benefit from it. Moreover, building roads is regarded as political achievement, and it is all about profit.

The above, whether it is a shoddy project or a road that has been repeatedly renovated, is actually inefficient work. It took a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, but it did not achieve the expected long-term effect. Waste is everywhere, destruction is everywhere. Sometimes I think, in fact, we humans really don't lack resources or money. It's just that human beings are too greedy for immediate benefits, so that they abandon long-term well-being, causing irreparable and irreversible losses. Human beings push themselves into desperation step by step. In the eagerness for quick success, everyone considers only for themselves, but a society where everyone is one's own can only become a society where everyone harms each other.

So I understand that the man named Michael in the movie "First Reformed Church" committed suicide because he completely lost faith in his future life, leaving only fear and despair. He felt that mankind was going to be destroyed soon, and it was difficult for him to continue to survive in such a society, and he did not want his children to come to this world, so he resolutely left this world. Of course, his thoughts are still too extreme and too pessimistic, but I still think it resonates.

    ending wtf? I want to lose one star because of the ending. In order not to fall into a cliché, I forcibly broke down

    B+/ I don’t hesitate to build the character’s inner dilemma with overloaded text. It seems that it is overflowing but it is frozen, it seems that it is displayed outside but it is inward, and it seems that analysis is actually presented-and all this is done if there is not enough thorough and accurate image execution. Less than. Therefore, the ending may not support the air of the balance spring to the end, and there should not be too many detours, perhaps it can highlight the condensed and transparent sense of the image. / Two brushes, a realistic reconstruction of the stage aesthetics of "Mishima Yukio Biography".
