grumpy but hopeful

Of course, this documentary was very touching to me, and even made me yearn for it. Like some of the documentaries I have watched, it allowed me to see things other than 9-5 from this back-to-garden lifestyle. Another option. In the future, when I see the word idyll, I will think of this movie, but looking back, the place where I was born was in the countryside. In the film, pigs and trees are raised, sheep and chickens are raised. Either I have experienced it myself, or I have seen it with my own eyes, but when I went to work in the fields with my parents before high school, I didn't even have the slightest idea of ​​enjoying it.

But to this day, aside from what the protagonist has experienced on his farm in this film, I, who go back and forth between the two o'clock and the line every day step by step, recall the time when I went to the fields to weed, fertilize, and apply pesticides. When I waited for the farm work I did, the feeling of rejection that I had when I was working has long since disappeared, and it was even a little kind, but the same feeling of rejection has been imposed on my current work and life.

The reason why I have this change of mood may be because of whether I have the freedom to choose. Back then, I had no choice but to follow my parents to do farm work for the family's livelihood for a year. Similarly, now I have no choice. Be able to sell time, sell yourself, and let yourself continue to live in this city through the rewards you earn, and have more time to sell.

I can't help but think that even though I didn't have a head hanging and thorns, I had to put in a lot of effort to get admitted to university. The only thing I could be sure of before going to university was that the life of my parents was something I didn't want. But I haven't thought about what kind of life I want, maybe I once thought about it, but then I forgot. This is precisely why I reject the current life. I feel like I climbed out of one pit and fell into another pit. I am so tormented in the current pit that I start to feel that I am staying in the first pit. In fact, there is nothing bad in a pit. Of course, I know that if one day I climb the pit that appears, I will definitely not jump into the first pit again. So is it possible that one day I will voluntarily jump into either of the two pits? I think there is, when I know that I have the ability to jump out of the pit at any time.

I wrote here and looked back at what I said above. I am a bit of a chicken thief. I compare my current life to a pit. Am I really unable to jump out of the pit? Do I really have no choice right now? No, I can still choose to give up and put aside everything at the moment, but I don't, and I continue to live in the pit because I can't afford the price after giving up. I'm afraid that my dream will not be pursued, and I will fall into a new pit.

Sometimes it is quite powerless to think about it, rejecting the present, but unable to abandon it, looking forward to the future, but not capable enough.

But, however, I am not in despair, and I still have expectations for the future. Although I can't make a clean break from the present like a strong man breaks his wrist, I am silently accumulating strength in my cowardice. Even if I am constantly frustrated and disappointed, I will keep the last glimmer of hope. down. Think about it carefully, isn't this what most people are also doing! So go ahead, young man.

(After I finished writing, I felt that it was far from the theme of the movie, but after watching the movie, I really felt like this, so be it!)

    Rome was not built in a day. It took Molly and John a full eight years from buying this deserted farmland until it reached the ideal ecological balance. Almost everyone will say that they like nature, but there are only a few people who dare to leave the city. It is how two people who love each other are willing to invest money and life to do such a "dirty", tiring, and difficult business together; and how much an artist who knows how to share, he can record bit by bit like John. The hardships and goodness in life will give an unparalleled gift to the world.

    As an entrepreneur, I empathize with the continuous difficulties, troubles, and overturning inside. But watching life circulate and grow vigorously in it, and for the protagonists, I feel how worth it all is, not to mention the picturesque scenery, how precious it is to live in such an environment and live in harmony with nature. Experience. It seems that I really want to live in the countryside for a while.
