The first half is nothing more than about dignity, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, while others are hell. Psychoanalysis says that people cannot escape relationships, relationships can soothe people's hearts, and relationships create hell for each other. This hell is dignity. Maybe I haven't learned yet, how to gain and maintain high self-esteem by myself without the approval of others. In the first half, Maggie gained dignity through boxing and was recognized by the world at the cost of her own health. A story can be just a metaphor. But in modern society, how many people are sacrificing their health for the sake of dignity? When you don't have health, I don't know how much dignity is worth. The hospital can be said to be the most dignified place, but also the most dignified place. When sick, high officials and commoners are treated the same. Except that your family background may allow you to get more thoughtful treatment and care from medical staff, there is really no difference in other aspects. They are all those organs and those lives.
For all kinds of efforts outside, if it is just for a nod, an appreciation, and an approval from others, and I carry my own life on my back, I think it is stupid. But I was brought up with such stupid values. So I got up and went to find another value that would nourish my heart. Self-esteem and health do not go against each other. People can be self-sufficient and healthy.
