On Saturday night, I watched the movie "The Three Teams" at home. This film not only shows the firmness and perseverance of the protagonist Cheng Bing on the lonely pursuit of justice, but also profoundly depicts the vicissitudes, pressure and helplessness faced by middle-aged men. This empathy is especially evocative in the current life environment.
Seeing him rise up a tall building, watching him feast guests", the three brigades were once the elite of the public security system and enjoyed the respect and envy of society. However,"Seeing that his building had collapsed"An unfortunate incident leads to the disbandment of the three major teams, and the trajectory of the members' lives changes dramatically. From public security heroes to middle-aged unemployed people at the bottom of society, the change in their fate is embarrassing.
The film proposes two ways to break the game: one is to let go of attachment, selectively forget, compromise with oneself, and seek peace of mind; The second is to continue to be persistent and persist in the pursuit of justice until the end of life. Cheng Bing chose the latter, and finally found **, released the evil ghost in his heart, and won the rebirth of his life. However, in reality, not everyone can be as successful as Cheng Bing, and many people may fall into deeper pain due to continued attachment. For example, in "Orphaned", Lei Zekuan played by Andy Lau has been looking for children for 15 years, traveling to 31 provinces, autonomous regions and cities across China, and breaking 10 motorcycles, but he has not been able to find them, and he has worked in vain for many years.
People's choices and attitudes are especially important in the face of life's adversities. Choosing to let go can mean giving up on long-sought goals, but it can also bring peace of mind and the beginning of a new life. In contrast, choosing to cling to it can bring short-term pain and challenges, but it can also lead to the realization of dreams and self-transcendence.
Between these two options, there is no absolute right or wrong, only decisions that are more appropriate to the individual's situation. Some people may draw strength from ongoing challenges, and they believe that the value of life lies in constant exploration and effort, and that even in the face of failure, it is a valuable experience for growth and learning. This echoes Emerson's view: "Every failure in life is another path to success." ”
The Buddha said, "Self-grasping is the root of all suffering." Others may believe that the quality of life and peace of mind are more important, and choose to let go of the burdens of the past and start a new chapter in life. This is consistent with Lao Tzu's teaching in the Tao Te Ching: "Looking at it with Taoism, there is no value in things." It means that from the perspective of the Great Dao, all things in the world are equal, let go of worldly attachments, and the mind will naturally be at peace.
The different choices reflect the complexity and diversity of human nature. In the journey of life, each person is the helmsman of their own destiny, shaping their own life through constant choices and decisions. Whether you choose to cling to or let go, it's important to make sure that those choices bring inner fulfillment and meaning in life.
Ultimately, no matter what path you choose, you should face life's changes and challenges with a positive and open attitude. As Socrates said, "An unexamined life is not worth living." Life is always full of unknowns and variables, and staying flexible and adaptable, learning to find one's own position and direction in the midst of change, is the key for everyone to continue to explore and grow in their life journey.
