anyone will be trapped

Every incident brings spiritual self-blame. The film shows two completely different ways of coping with self-blame, one is to give up like an old man, immersed in pain and numbness every day, and the other is to forge ahead like a young man.

I'd say it automatically - I don't want to be that pathetic old man, depraved (the movie shows a lot of addiction - behavioral sex, alcohol, junk food, and maybe video game phones today). I want to be a young man like the rising sun, learn to read every day, work hard, exercise seriously, be happy and help others.

But when I watched the movie, I realized that whether I was degenerate or progressive, I was always stuck in a cycle of self-blame or fear. I forge ahead, I may be better off in reality, but who can make sure I won't be a different person in the next incident?

The phrase "Don't forget who I am" is actually not about forgetting the past story of identity and name, but even though we sing and laugh in reality, don't forget that our hearts are all trapped in the past. The story of each protagonist is just one cycle after another.

They took their desires, thoughts, feelings and memories as me, but they didn't realize that it was me who was really caught. so

Behavior is often confused, often falling into the inertia of past behavior, perhaps being fascinated by desire, grabbing the tail of the snake of happiness, and being bitten by pain. Desires, thoughts, memories and feelings are not me, they are just a part of me, and the real me is the awareness of the presence itself. If in my actions, I don't realize it, the actions are often not motivated by my intentions and values, but trapped by desires, thoughts, memories.

This movie reminds me that we are all trapped by stories from the past, thoughts from the past, emotions from the past, books we read, and people we meet without knowing it.

The real liberation method is not only these two, but as the brother inside said you have left, there is nothing here.
