"No one likes being alone, but they just don't want to be disappointed."

2019.03.13 "Green Book" was the first time I watched a movie alone. A long time ago, there were countless thoughts of watching a movie by myself, but after all, I was afraid of being alone. Until the release of "Green Book", this idea came back. As it turns out, I've fallen in love with being alone. More often, I like to hang out alone, the scenery I see on the road, the people I see, I would like to share it with others, but when I think about it, others will not be able to appreciate it.

After watching the movie, there is only one sentence and one picture in my mind: "There are too many lonely people in the world who are afraid to make the first move." The world's full of lonely people afraid to make the first move.

It was Tang Dayu who shouted:

"If I am not black enough, and if I'm not white enough, and if I am not man enough, then tell me, what am I?"

Seeing this scene, tears rolled in my eyes. It was Tang's emotional outburst that had been suppressed for a long time, and he was lonely. However, as Haruki Murakami said, "No one likes being alone, but they just don't want to be disappointed."

All men are born equal and free. Life is lonely.
