YES - make the voice of the heart

I don’t know if our lives are becoming more and more westernized, or whether American values are becoming more and more universal. I always feel that some Hollywood films about life philosophy truly reflect the living conditions of modern Chinese people, and put aside far-reaching such as Forrest Gump, Shawshank Redemption. It is indeed admirable that some skit-style comedies can reach people's hearts. From Click to Yes Man, they all make us think about our own lives after laughing. Living in today's society, we often close ourselves for reasons of protecting ourselves. Especially as we age, some so-called social experiences and lessons from our parents have made our door more self-enclosed. So, in the face of invitations from friends and requests from strangers, we initially refused out of precaution and fear of trouble, but over time, this precaution has become a habit and a normal state of our lives. And when we finally had no one to trouble us, we turned around and found that things were right and wrong. We wanted to go back to find someone to trouble us, but found that we had already locked the door behind us with our own hands. Faced with such a situation, we often choose to escape, so we wear the mask of growing up, wear a mature coat, or live helplessly or recklessly in this world that should be full of colors but is painted in black and white by ourselves. The highlight of this film is that he taught us the possibility of life, but the hero's series of unbelievable yes has brought him the same incredible "shit luck". In fact, behind this shit luck, in addition to the needs of the film's plot, it is more important The reason is because the male protagonist released his inner voice under the pressure of a paper promise. Although he is sometimes reluctant, if there is no such pressure, he will often be lazy and live because of temporary laziness when he is willing. Inertia backlogged up the voice in my heart again. So a yes is not only the key to open the door of the heart, but also the last straw that squeezes out the inner voice of oneself.
