I know that there was a hot post on it:
What are we looking for all our lives?
Answers range from ancient to modern times, from poetry to novels, from rhetoric to tirades.
Some netizens replied: You see the world panicking, but the figure is broken silver, but this broken silver is a few two, which can solve the world's thousands of sorrows.
And some netizens answered: the ultimate satisfaction, not in the short-term desire, the important thing is to be able to find the love of our lives, and live a life in the way we like.
Admittedly, there is no standard answer to this question, just like there is no fixed routine in life, but the key is that you have the courage to choose the path you like and can enjoy it.
"The Pianist at Sea" is such a heart-to-heart film, it tells the story of the piano genius 1900.
1900 was an orphan abandoned on the Virginia ship, he liked to play the piano on the ship to the passengers, even after disembarking the ship money and fame were at his fingertips, he still chose to stay on the ship for the rest of his life, and finally died with the Virginia cruise ship.
1900 bravely insisting on the spirit of love let me see that the original life can still be lived like this, the original life is not complicated, the original life is the most critical is: you can choose a lifestyle that suits you, do what you love, and enjoy it.
In the first month of the 19th century, on the virginia ship from Europe to the United States, boilermaker Danny found a baby on a first-class piano and named him 1900.
The name symbolizes Danny's hope, but also symbolizes a different worldly spirit, and also represents the innocent self.
Growing up on a boat in 1900, after the death of his father Danny due to work accidents, he learned to play the piano without a teacher, he hated the rules, and there was never a fixed score for playing the piano, he only followed his inner emotions and played at will.
He enjoyed playing the piano and enjoying life on the boat.
One of the most impressive famous scenes is that the sea is full of wind and rain, the hull of the ship is crooked with the waves, the piano is constantly sliding with the swaying hull, and the friend Musk can hardly walk, and the seasickness is vomiting.
1900, on the other hand, walked without any obstacles, like walking on the ground, and what is even more amazing is that others can move with the piano and can still play the piano without doing anything, which feels like dancing waltzes with the piano.
Looking at the swirling objects around him, looking at the chandelier that was about to fall, 1900 played and smiled, fully enjoying the wind and rain.
The sound of wind, rain, waves, the noise of objects shaking... The sound enters the heart, and then from the heart is the improvised piano sound.
From the smile of the 1900s, I understood that many times, what to do, what environment, or what happens is actually not important.
What matters is what kind of mindset you live in, whether you enjoy the life in the moment, whether you enjoy every moment of your life?
Undoubtedly, 1900 was enjoyed, he enjoyed the wind and rain at sea.
He enjoys going with the music to every place he has never been.
He enjoyed hearing the story of each passenger in the sound of the piano; he enjoyed the sound of the piano that could pour out without a score.
In the era of excessive information and rapid change, in the face of a noisy and noisy environment, many people have become slaves to the environment and are led by the environment, but the more this time, the more we should maintain inner stability.
In 1900, the reason why he was able to enjoy the wind and rain without environmental influences, all the weightlifting was due to his inner quietness.
The Buddhist language has clouds: quiet life and concentration, fixed life wisdom, wisdom to calm.
This means that if a person can be quiet internally, he will become stable in silence, and stability will naturally give birth to wisdom, and with wisdom, he can face everything calmly.
There is also a sentence in the Tang Dynasty Baiyunzi's "Theory of Sitting and Forgetting": "The one who has a heart, the lord of one body, and the handsome man of a hundred gods." Quiet is born of wisdom, and moving is born of faintness. ”
The gist is that the mind is the master of the body and the "master" of all mental activities, and wisdom can only be produced when the mind is quiet, and if the mind is far away from static and moves, it will faint and unwise.
This is the power of stillness, and it is also the reason why 1900 was not afraid in the face of wind and rain.
This quietness gave him the wisdom to ride through the wind and rain, and the concentration to enjoy it.
When the inner can be as if it were not moving, you can transcend things, not affected by the environment, become the center of the storm, in the eyes of the wind, do not panic, with the same change, with a state of enjoyment through the cold and summer of life.
Do not like things, do not grieve with yourself, quiet and calm, enjoy it, this is the happiness of 1900, but also the pursuit of happiness in life.
The piano is a self-taught talent for 1900, he uses the piano to express emotions, but also feels the story of life in the piano.
Through the sound of the piano, he can go to many, many places he has never been, and he can also experience many, many lives that he has never experienced, and his piano has no factions, only from the love of the heart.
Because of this, when the so-called jazz music founder Jerry wanted to compete with him, he did not understand why he wanted to compete, in his mind, there was no competition, only love.
Although he disdained the game, after three games, the sound of the 1900 piano shocked the audience.
The first scene: Jerry lights a cigarette, and the moment the smoke burns, the piano suddenly stops; 1900 does not want to compete with it, and casually plays a brisk song.
Scene 2: Jerry composes a tune that 1900 bursts into tears because he is moved by the sound of the piano, and in 1900 he repeats it according to Jerry's playing.
The audience is inexplicable, only Jerry knows the power of it, can be completely copied after listening to it once, and the details are better than Jerry's, Jerry no longer despises 1900.
Third: Jerry shows off his housekeeping skills and shows off his technique, but his winning technique tarnishes the sound of the piano and angers 1900.
In 1900, he no longer gave in, one pair of hands became four hands, and then transformed into countless hands, the sound of the piano flowed from between the fingers, shocking everyone present, people reveled in the sound of the piano, forgetting their own existence.
The sound of the piano ended, and 1900 lit a cigarette with the heat of the strings.
Some people say that "smoke" is a symbol of the soul.
Jerry lit a cigarette before playing the piano, and his piano sound soothed the people in distress and soothed the emotions in the process of soul burning.
At the end of the 1900 piano, the cigarette was lit with the heat of the strings, and his piano sound came from the pure love of the heart, which was the music that ignited the soul, and the shock from the soul.
Jerry fights with the 1900 piano in order to succeed and defeat 1900; while the 1900 piano is not to defeat anyone, let alone to succeed.
Even in the face of low-hanging fruit of money and fame, he was never moved, in his mind, playing the piano was only because of love, without any other conditions and purposes, so 1900 won instead.
True love comes from the desire of the heart, is a natural flow, and because of this, love has the power to transcend everything, ignite itself, and also wash the hearts of others.
If a person can live in love for a lifetime, this is also a very happy pursuit of life.
1900 had been playing the piano on the ship, he had never been off the ship, and the only time he wanted to get off the boat was only halfway up the gangway, and he turned around and returned to the ship.
Many people feel sorry for him, obviously as long as they get off the ship, all the fame and fortune are easy, why can't they break through themselves in 1900 and try it? Why is he so cowardly?
How do you live your life and do you want to make a change? 1900 went through a very difficult selection process.
When he was a child, his father Danny told 1900 that only the Virginia ship was good, and the outside world was not good, which was the voice buried in the bottom of 1900's heart, so he had some fear of the outside world.
Later, after watching the ship arrive in New York, people scrambled to disembark, and in 1900 there was also a loss.
He met a farmer, who said that he had once heard the sound of the sea, which told him that life was infinitely vast, and he wanted to change his life, and he walked out of his own small field.
Later, in 1900, he met a beautiful girl, and the beauty of her self-portrait in the window attracted him deeply, but unfortunately, the boat came to New York, and the girl disembarked.
Thinking about it again and again, 1900 had the idea of disembarking, he wanted to hear the sound of the sea and see the infinite life, but when he reached the halfway of the gangway, he stopped.
He said, I stopped, not because I saw it, but because I didn't see it.
So he turned, it was a gorgeous turn, if he did not get off the ship before 1900, there was a fear of the unknown world, then this turn, it reflected his bravery and sobriety.
This is the pure protection of the self in 1900, because he understands, so he firmly chooses a lifestyle that suits him.
As the 1900s said:
Why? Why? Why, you ask me? I think you people on the shore wasted your time asking why. When winter arrives, you can't wait for summer, and when summer comes, you are afraid of the arrival of winter, always looking for a paradise that does not belong to you. I don't fit in there.
1900 Soberly saw that the endless streets and alleys were filled with people's endless desires, and under such desires, people had to make compromises.
Stepping off the ship and stepping onto land, it looks like the world is getting bigger, but in fact the world of people's ego is getting smaller and smaller.
Because they want to be "big", people lose "freedom", because without freedom, the world of the self can only become smaller and smaller.
Before virginia blew up, Musk found 1900, and he tried to persuade 1900 to get off the ship, and imagined that they could form a band, which was sought after by people.
1900 did not answer, but asked: What about your trumpet? In a word, Musk saw the truth. After disembarking, Musk wandered in the city, poor, and had to cut love and sell the trumpet.
The truth is so cruel, it seems like an endless world, it seems that there are more choices, but what people are left with is the self and love that have to be abandoned.
The pursuit of people throughout their lives is not that the world is bigger and better, but no matter how big the world is, as long as it is suitable for themselves, it is the best.
1900 chose to stay on the ship, using the limited 88 buttons of the piano, playing infinite music, he was not willing to compromise with the world for fame and fortune, and he was not willing to let himself be lost in infinite desires and lose his freedom.
There are thousands of paths in life, there are also thousands of life choices, no one can say that their choices are absolutely right, other people's choices are absolutely wrong, because life has never been a fixed routine, as long as you like, the road is right.
Until his death, 1900 did not regret his choice, he calmly chose to die with the Virginia, and even told his friend Musk a joke into heaven.
Laughing at life and death is the bravest and freest choice in 1900.
Life is infinite, life is impermanent, what are you seeking in this life? If you can only choose one way to live in your life, how do you make a choice?
1900 uses his simple and pure life to tell us an important revelation:
Although there is no standard answer in life, you can still make a standard answer for yourself, do what you love in the way you like, and enjoy every moment of life in peace, which is my best pursuit.
So, what have you been after all your life?
. end .
