Not that we went too far, but that we forgot why we started!

This is a story about "fatalism and the origin of fatalism"!

The story divides life into the first and second half of life according to the age of 35: the first half of life is ignorant but full of hope, and the second half of life is helpless and resigned to fate.

In the story, each protagonist enters the cycle passively in the first half of his life, and the second half of his life is basically non-subjective but actively triggers the cycle. This is very similar to our destiny. Young people usually do not believe in fate and dare to fight against the sky, but basically They will all enter the second half of their lives when they know the destiny of forty.

The protagonist of each story is an object of childhood memories: half a piece of bamboo, asthma treatment, small playing cards... . These items will be abandoned invariably when the protagonist walks into the second half of his life. When faced with the past, people really prefer to choose to forget.

The protagonists of the story all start from a red book in the second half of their lives, the only difference is that the book "strategy" is different. The red book symbolizes destiny. Everyone is eager to put their own destiny, but when faced with a choice, they are often driven by "the desire to live better" and unconsciously follow their destiny. As I walked, I forgot what my desire was at that time.

Destiny is like a red book, it seems that it has always existed but it doesn't seem to exist at all, but why do we choose to follow it?

The answer is simple: survival + human desire.

All the food and items in the story will be replenished continuously, and the protagonists of different life stages have different attitudes towards them, especially the younger brother tidy up the dollars, which is really ridiculous.

As for the real life mentioned in the story, it may be a hope given by the creator to break the fate.


Supplement: After writing the above impressions, I suddenly had a new idea, please compare

the old man in the stairwell and finally said: "We are not real, but ours is also meaningful, and the real life is not bad. .. help me" or something.

So can I understand the idea of ​​the main creator like this:

If you want to have a good life experience, you must lock your own "insincere, improper desires..." and other bad thoughts firmly in your mind, and don't let them pop out to affect you life!
