Abandoning all hope is freedom==Freedom comes from self-confidence, and self-confidence comes from self-discipline

So far, among the nearly 1,000 movies I've watched, I'm the only one who can memorize most of the lines And the details of the movie, there is only "Fight Club-Fight Club". Knowing Edward Norton started from "Fight Club", and knowing myself also started from this movie.

I remember Yang Shitou once said, "A person who can't be a grandson can't be a "man" in his life. But I think that most people are prone to fall into the inertial whirlpool of "pretending to be a master" on the way to becoming a master, and then hemiplegia. Especially in the real Chinese society where it is better to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry, it is better to recognize a good father, so children without good fathers are on their way to become men. Look at our China, children can't lose on the starting line, students can't lose on the score line, women can't lose on the chest line, and men can't lose on the career line.

In fact, we are all lost on the road of being a man. We all live in the shadow of pretending to be grandsons, just like a grandson like Jack in "Fight Club", a little white-collar who does nothing for the so-called good life, he is very Hate your life and suffer from severe insomnia. Later, when he met Tyler and lived with him, his life began to be full of blood and passion, and he finally understood that we no longer need to look at the IKEA catalogue for excitement, let alone Starbucks coffee, we need It's evolution, it's spiritual evolution; we don't need hypocritical self-consolation and so-called treatment for cancer dying, what we need is a strong will to feel pain; we don't think that God will love each of us, we don't need God anymore , damn curse and atonement, we are all God's forsaken children.

Jack and Tyler have become good friends since Jack and Tyler, who burned down the house, lived together in an abandoned wooden house in the suburbs. After fighting and venting, they created an underground fight club. The two volunteered to wear nothing to each other. An underground organization that fights with protective gear. With the participation of more and more people, Fight Club gradually developed into the largest underground organization in the country. Taylor is no longer satisfied with letting members vent their emotions through fights, but in all parts of the country. Initiating a riot and blowing up the so-called famous buildings and financial institutions in the country, the purpose is to wake up all the mediocre people. However, the situation developed too rapidly, and everything was unexpected. Jack, who suddenly woke up, realized that the so-called so-called Fight Club founder - Tyler is himself, Tyler is just another personality derived from himself, everything is caused by Tyler, so everything like this should be settled by Jack.

A man born from a poor grandson is a very dick, almost close to God - Tyler, maybe every grandson will have another beast-like self in his heart, so he is like Tyler, with nothing. No, a man close to God. Only those who dare to assume that God does not love themselves at all can approach God and become a God of self. Like Nietzsche said, God is actually dead.
However, most of us are in the state of "Jack grandson", because we are all spending the ordinary words of struggle and dream for the famous university; because we are all spending two in vain to buy an iPhone. The month is the remuneration for cattle and horses; because they are all slaves for the house, the car, the daughter-in-law's list and the children in order to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law.
Self-improvement is masturbation. And self-destruction. This line is what Taylor and Jack said when they saw the man's figure in the CK underwear advertisement when they were on the bus. Indeed, what does self-destruction mean? Indeed, few people in China have discussed the meaning of existence, which is a painful topic. After watching this movie, I was shocked like never before. The biggest feeling is just one word: Fuck! You can also use my most profound line. To express the mood, It's only after we've lost everyting that we're free to do anyting.

Is everything we have now and everything we pursue really what we want? We are living in a society with constant copycats and constant copycat failures and in successive successful revolutions like overthrowing chicken blood. We have gradually lost the ability to think and have courage. What is success? Success is becoming a father. What is being a grandfather? There are three or four groups of wives and concubines, four or five luxury cars, five or six household registrations, and several houses.

The things you own end up owning you.

We are all on the road to becoming masters, and few people realize that they are walking on the road of being enslaved by material things. In today's commodity economy society, commodities seem to be able to replace our human beings to live, and all kinds of extravagant living consumption concepts have been demonized into the lifestyle of successful people.

In our real life of chicken blood, we have all looked up to those children with good fathers, as if we saw them holding 36D big-breasted beauties in their left hands and holding iPhones with big pineapples and watermelons in their right hands, so we Will be angry, fuck 36D, fuck Apple, isn't it just investing in a rich dad, what is it! However, in reality, we have been working hard to save a few thousand yuan per month in salary, so that what can be displayed on the QQ list of friends is: QQ for iphoneX.
However, when we got the iPhone, at most we could only hold our little dick with the left hand and brush the big-breasted actress on the phone screen with the right hand.

Advertising tempts us to buy cars and clothes, so we work hard to buy things we don’t need. We are a generation forgotten by history. There is no purpose, no status, no world war, no economic panic. Our war is only a war of hearts, we The panic is just our life. We grew up watching TV, believing that one day we would be rich, stars or rock stars, but, we don't. That is the reality we are gradually facing, so we are very angry.

However, most people think that they are on the road of being a man, and on the road of consuming ideals, few people realize that it is actually ideals that consume us, and we strive for it as a matter of course, a busy job, a generous salary , but what he got was a trace of boredom, an emptiness that no one knew about. The ideal fortress piled up with sand gradually disappears in the ebb and flow of innocuous tides again and again, and what remains is just mediocre sand. Today repeats yesterday, tomorrow repeats today, we are carefully talking about love without purpose, carefully handling the relationship between people, doing so-called meaningful work.
The round-robin timetable has not turned yellow with the passage of time. Everything seems calm on the surface, but in fact, there is a surging undercurrent. We have all become slaves to material things and prisoners of emotions.

You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We are the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world. We are all part of the same compost heap.
You are not a special person, you are not a beautiful, unique snowflake, you are the same organic thing as any other creature. We are just here for a walk, just like any other creature. There are times when we want to be different or stand out too much, we all take ourselves too seriously and take ourselves too seriously. After caring, it becomes entangled, and after entanglement, it becomes lost. Just like all the bald members who participated in the underground organization, they went from fighting to vent their emotions to obeying orders to do damage. At this time, they had completely lost themselves, but Taylor did not realize that, in fact, there was only destruction but no construction, not at all. It will play the role of fundamental freedom, even if I agree with the statement that freedom is only possible by throwing everything away.
Abandon everything, there is freedom == freedom comes from self-confidence, and self-confidence comes from self-discipline.
We have to throw all hope away because it is the freedom to be born again, and freedom requires the self-fulfillment of the two steps of self-confidence and self-discipline.
Self-discipline is painful, but it is also necessary. In fact, self-discipline is change from a certain point of view. What is reflected in the movie is self-destruction, because self-destruction can bring self-growth, and self-growth is an increasingly strong self-confidence, and self-confidence It is to believe that we don't even need God, in fact, we are God, we can control everything, this is the so-called freedom.
I think that on the way to becoming a master, maybe it is the way to find freedom in the depths of the soul. For the once lost Jack, from the crazy Taylor to the rational Jack, finally found his freedom. The same is true for our lives, perhaps only by balancing our own madness and freedom can we find freedom in the depths of our hearts!

Ps: No fear. No distractions. The ability to let that which does not matter truly slide.
