Lower Desires and Higher Desires

To be honest, after watching this film, it is difficult to empathize with the plight of the heroine. Because the pursuit of the heroine is no longer in the same realm as most people. Most people are still besieged by lower-level desires (beautiful lover, successful career, financial freedom) and cannot break through. A few people, such as Jin Minxi, successfully cleared the stage from low-level desires and entered the stage of high-level desires (the pursuit of inner talents and ideas, and the scorn of external ones). So, are higher desires really higher-end than lower ones? Are those who successfully cleared the customs really more advanced than those who did not? Not necessarily so. It's just that a few people have more advantages than most people (natural beauty, money, and even talent), and it is easier to break through low-level desires. And most people will never be able to break through. Human nature is greedy. In particular, there will be eternal desires and obsessions for things that cannot be satisfied. Therefore, when lower-level desires cannot be satisfied, few people can directly leapfrog to higher-level desires. Unless, in some special period or opportunity, the need for higher desires is more urgent than lower ones. For example, when the country is destroyed and the country is destroyed, the low-level desires become irrelevant needs, and the survival of the country becomes the overriding primary goal. Only then will high-level desires overwhelm low-level desires and become the direct pursuit goal of some people.
