It's not a story, it's a book of redemption for a fool

After most people found out that Phil's life was pressed the AB cycle button, I am afraid that this is a mysterious story.

Until the audience in the coffee shop, who seemed to be not very smart, said ignorantly, (this cycle) is not my current life?

The audience is just waking up from a big dream, yes, isn't this the real life of many people now?

We are in a hurry every day, aren't we living a kind of AB cycle?

Hate jobs, strangers pretending to greet each other, old acquaintances approaching with purpose, goddesses you can never catch up with, maybe even the homeless and puddles on the street who reach out every day.

They don't appear every day in our lives, but the days of the past do seem to be filled with these cycles of nuisance.

Nothing new .

Life sucks!


From the perspective of the plot, I guessed that this might be an opportunity to indulge, making full use of my information asymmetry as a "prophet" to pick up girls, rob a bank, or even run into the police and try to commit suicide, will not bring any bad results.

Anyway, everything cleared up early the next morning.

However, the indulgence of desires does not lead to long-term gratification. Many things that you want to do but are afraid to do, do not necessarily make people feel continuous happiness because they can be done every day.

On the contrary, after a long period of indulgence, it will definitely bring emptiness, emptiness to the point of suicide.

Has the quarantine life during the epidemic made you more agree with the above sentence?

I used to think that lying down every day and doing nothing would be very happy.

However, when the isolation period was arranged one after another, there was a sudden incomparable desire to return to society and prove that what I did was worthwhile.


How to end this cycle.

Self-defeating?

This is probably the real choice of many people in society.

Although I don't like the current life very much, so be it;

Hate the present life, so avoid thinking about it;

Real life always ends one day. And so on until that day;


In fact, you can also try to change it?

The way to finally get Phil out of this cycle is to help others and improve himself.

I liked Phil's deliberate use of the information gap to pursue Rita in the first half but always ended in failure.

In this way, Rita was really moved by Phil in the back, so that the audience could realize more clearly:

No amount of subtlety can compare to the power of sincerity.

When you love yourself, you also love the world. What you want will naturally fall into your arms.


This is not a myth, this is a redemption book for everyone who is still in the dark.

If we don't want to change, then we will eventually slide into the abyss of worse with this cycle of curse until death.

Change is the only way out of this bad life.

The way to change is to start with the attitude towards the surrounding environment.

We don't have to be like Phil and have to change everything about the day to perfection to get out of the loop.

As long as we remain sincere, eager to learn, no longer indifferent, no longer self-centered, quantitative changes accumulate into qualitative changes.

We can get rid of the "curse of the day" and start the next chapter of our lives.


[Tell me to myself] I have been in a depressed state for a long time and even had a tendency to shatter myself several times. Due to the impact of the epidemic, I had to isolate myself for 2 months. No friends, no relatives, no face-to-face communication with anyone. For the purpose of passing the time, I started to read a few books. I didn’t expect that there has been a harbinger of quantitative changes accumulating into qualitative changes recently, and my attitude towards the world has suddenly changed. When I saw such a movie at this time, I felt like a bedridden person who not only began to feel strength, but also heard that clinical patients were cured and discharged from the hospital.

We don't have the power to change the world, but we all have the power to make ourselves happy and fulfilled.
