A feigned carnival

1.

Some people's way of showing superiority is contempt. Despise rules, despise society, despise traditional practices, despise old things.

As if in this way, they automatically override others. Compared with the rule-abiding people, normal members of the society, they consciously have a sense of superiority with supreme morality and IQ.

Suffice it to say, the attacker is not automatically better than the victim. Challenging the rules doesn't automatically mean you're awesome.

Being different doesn't mean standing out. Even a crane is not necessarily stronger than a chicken.

2.

Pretending to despise all members of this society and all members of this society, while actively being inextricably linked with this society, is a kind of hypocrisy of literary and artistic youth.

There is a kind of you don't use dollars, why do you work part-time?

There is a kind of bow and arrow you make, what shotgun do you use?

What help? Aren't you confidently planning to use 0 equipment to survive in the wild?

When he saw a fawn, he couldn't bear to kill the doe. Does the deer you killed have no family?

Burning money while frantically taking courses related to impoverished Africa in college? You are so caring, what can you do for the poor children in Africa? What's the point of living alone in the wild? Burning money just to impress yourself, right?

3.

Refuse to approach people. Guitar girl, an old man who wants to adopt him, a gypsy couple, everyone is full of kindness to him, but he always pushes others away when they approach him.

The family environment is one reason. Then why didn't his sister become a pretender like him?

No empathy, no sense of responsibility at all. It doesn't take into account the feelings of the family at all. Even if the parents are wrong, at least they can say a word to cut off the relationship before leaving? Working at McDonald's means not following the rules and not wearing socks. Is this so arrogant?

Not even empathy for nature. Wishful thinking for the "freedom" and "unfettered" of nature and moved myself with tears. But nature has no value judgment and is also ruthless. Whoever pretends to be forceful in front of it will take control of whoever it is. It's really heartwarming to be poisoned and starved to death at the end.

Watching a group of persecutors in literary costumes climax for such a broken-headed movie, I could only silently tell myself, cherishing life, and staying away from Notre Dame literary youth.
