The painter David went to have an affair, and his young daughter, who was at home alone, fell into the swimming pool and drowned. The grief-stricken David was very regretful, but he did not reflect on his relationship with men and women, but just did not want to lose his daughter, so a butterfly helped him realize this dream. On the way to ask for forgiveness from his wife, he encounters a butterfly that leads him to five years later. This time, he didn't miss rescuing his daughter, but he accidentally killed himself five years ago. The sensitive daughter sees through who he is, which casts a shadow over his lost father-daughter bond. Through remediation, the daughter gradually accepted and forgave David.
There are many metaphors in this story. The two Davids died as soon as they met, symbolizing the farewell of the "me" of the present and the "me" of the past. This means that the price of growth is huge, and it is self-fighting mixed with blood and tears.
This story more often tells us that there is no regret medicine in the world, and even if there is, it is not without cost. One of the costs is saying goodbye to the past as mentioned above; the second is that even with sufficient rationality, even to the level of a prophet, it is impossible to predict everything. The death of his friend illustrates this problem. When David revealed his true identity to his good friend in the bar, he predicted that he would become a great writer. However, after a short time, the friend was killed by him. Probably not what he expected. Third, even if you can turn back time and start life again, it will not be smooth sailing, and you still have to face your own weaknesses. If you don't change yourself, you can't change your life. Therefore, the perfect life is only given to those who will continue to grow and have the courage to constantly deny themselves.
Anyway, growth comes at a price. No matter if the price is hurting relatives, friends or yourself, the ultimate repayment can only be yourself. It is relatively easy to repay someone else's, as long as you take responsibility; and the only way to repay yourself is to change your mind and be a new person. This may not be a bad thing. Regret for ignorance may encourage people to learn more knowledge; failure to handle problems will also encourage people to stop being impulsive and solve them in a more rational way. This will undoubtedly make you mature step by step. In this regard, we must be grateful to those who have been hurt and implicated because of their ignorance and incompetence. It is their tolerance that gives them the opportunity to stand up again and again.
