As wonderful as a contradiction, as energetic as a fight

When watching "Iron Man 2", there is the same thrill as watching "Transformers 2".
Look, it's all fierce fighting, it's the era of the highest technology, it's all hardened steel weapons, they're all related to government conspiracies, they're all involved in the mission of human survival, and they're all doing nothing to destroy the luxurious city. In the end, there are all the ambiguous entanglements between heroes and beauty, the themes of "love" and "awakening", and of course, there is a humorous and ironic attitude...
It seems that this is survival, this is life, this is No matter how absurd and terrifying, as long as it is shocking and moving, it is wonderful, alive, and worthy of the 80 yuan ticket price and precious eyeballs... But is life really like this? Or isn't life exactly the same as in the movies?

Whenever there is a question in this moment, I look for the answer in the affairs of the next moment. Whether the next moment is to eat, chat, ride in the car, or watch a movie, you just have the answer to the nagging question you're looking for, "Why do people live?" I also want to know if everyone has the same problems as mine in everyone's world, even if it's different troubles - why is work so meaningless? Why is rent so expensive? Why is the future so bleak? Why is money so hard to earn? Why is life so hard? I can’t always prepare for the right time. I can’t wait for one thing to happen one by one, and I find that if you want to solve this problem, you need to create the next problem in advance. To get rid of this trouble, you must first advance another trouble… Life is like walking. On the one-way single-plank bridge, swaying and stepping on stones to cross the river, what you want is not something wonderful or not, but just not to fall into the river, even if the movie tells you a thousand times - maybe the realm of falling into the river is even more Brilliant, the visuals are even better - no, you can't fall into a river, you'd rather be killed by a sharp stone than be a farce cup or cutlery in the eyes of others...isn't that the case? Who says movies have nothing to do with our lives?

Whenever I see the heroes, rich people, and regimes in the movie, stepping on great success or wealth to destroy the world, I understand the ultimate meaning of the so-called pursuit - you pursue wealth or status, fame or achievement , the ultimate pursuit seems to be "the nature of brave play". Whether that final halo is used by you to cooperate in conspiracies, save the world, create wars, or turn into villains... no, it doesn't make any sense. There are no standards. You are who you are, you stand happily on the roof and kiss the woman you love, and you don't have to care that the whole city is ruined by you (the ending of "Iron Man"). Does it really save human beings and make sense for the world? It doesn't matter. The destruction of the whole world is to fulfill your own little awakening of love, oh! Everything else doesn't matter! Just exciting enough! is not it?

What am I talking about? The pursuit is endless, and, the pursuit is meaningless. The answer to my real-life troubles that I found in the movies is: You can do all kinds of evil, as long as you are wonderful, follow yourself, walk on stilts, and stumble. How much disaster news in modern society, have you seen it? Are you also afraid? Do you feel you should despise, reprimand, defend, or stay away from? Can you stay away? I hear a lot of people crying about life, complaining about work, and it's not just me. That panic has outweighed the cover that dignity might have made. The anxiety in the words on Weibo and the truth in the news events are like fireworks bursting everywhere, crackling revealing the struggle in depression. It's just that the struggle is too extreme, either a crime or suicide. Not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. It is useless to scold anyone. ZF is not the only sinner. If everyone irresponsibly avoids disasters and pursues a "good life alone", no matter how devout and hard you work, the world will inevitably deteriorate. You have to stop your beautiful ideals, your superiority over the illusion of luxury.

Because - "pursuit of money" is likely to be used to solve the troubles of "money after". What a paradoxical world. How can desire solve the problems arising from desire? It's like the big landowners who have accumulated wealth, produced tons of high-quality milk and fresh meat, but are surrounded by poor people who can't afford it, and the landowners are still worried that the business is not good, and they are too troubled to sell it. The milk and fresh meat will be destroyed and squandered!
The simple life is gone, power is for abuse, money is for lavish splurges and re-troubles. Heroes appear to make villains. The more you look forward, the closer you are to the darkness of your past... So...

whoever complains that life is not exciting enough, the real world is too cruel, or the changes of the times are too scary, seems too naive and deserves it. That extreme event, it is very likely that it will appear around me, or even myself, just like my own fear of myself all the time, maybe one day I will be forced to think about it by pressure, maybe the stone I stepped on well will also It will suddenly fall and overturn me in the depths of the mud pond. Maybe, really, nothing is impossible - since I have been able to experience such unimaginable beauty, it is also entirely possible to go to a certain extreme and fall into a certain trap for an involuntary and completely unforeseeable awakening. ! So whenever I think about the changes in the sky, the environment, and the natural world predicted by astrology, it is not surprising that the power of awakening and the importance of courage and faith are at all!
Just like everyone envied Van Gogh's realm, no one dared to take half a step down that road. If you can't live your life like yourself - being sick is the best thing to do!

Recently, many people have poured out panic to me, hoping to use astrology to rescue, hoping to see a little bit of hope from the astrological chart. And I know from my own experience, is the comfort you want worth the blow that real events hit you? Seeing and hearing are all illusory concepts, and real experience and experience are living pain and fear. Even if you have heard the saying, "God has prepared the answer when he created problems for you" or "your sin and redemption are already hidden in the astrolabe", do you really find yourself in so many hints around you? wonderful? Even if life is "shortened", this may be the power of redemption!

Once when I was drawing a Tarot Zen card, I got a "In Heaven", and while I was sneering, my colleague drew a "In Hell". Then when I turned to the explanation, I saw that these two cards with the same picture were the same explanation, that is, "here is both heaven and hell". The only difference is your attitude.

All I know is that the world is "different", but I can't tell if it's "good" or "bad." Everyone is afraid of change, right? Is that completely unknown world calling for your perseverance? Or your change? Summoning your courage? Or the fragility of your true nature? Is it causality? Or nonsense logic? --totally no idea! When it wants to "disrupt", it has its own way to make your habits inexplicably become unaccustomed, your life and work trajectory inexplicably become strange and confusing, and even the most subtle and elusive way of thinking becomes uncertain—— Am I thinking this way? Or an illusion?

——Haha, so much nonsense, completely presents the dangerous atmosphere described in the astronomical forecast.

After the movie was over, my partner patted me on the shoulder and asked if I was okay. I was very excited to see what you were watching!
I haven't jumped out of my own worries about the country and the people. I asked him what do you think of the movie? He said he yawned like he was watching TV. . .
I murmured how dangerous the world is, how turbulent the society is, how difficult it is to survive...
He said that he didn't think that at all, as long as he lived his life well, everything would be fine. . .
It does. Everyone's vision creates their own reality.
I think maybe, our impression of each other is probably like an alien...
Anyway, watching a movie to reduce stress is like spending money indiscriminately to save money, there is nowhere to find relief, strengthen the current Reality.
The life at hand and foot is really continuing, and the "sense of survival" of being alive is chasing after it for a moment. There is always entertainment, and credit cards always have to be paid back. Of course, there will be no less troubles to face.

Finally:
as wonderful as contradiction, as dynamic as fighting, as close as the future, as warm as sadness... just live like this.
