The Five You Met in Heaven: The Circumstances of a Lifetime

"There is no accidental action in the world. We are all linked. You cannot separate one life from another, just as the wind and the breeze are intimately linked. ”

Eddie died saving the little girl, and after going to heaven he met five people. These five are closely related to his fate, or his appearance changes the fate of others, or the appearance of others changes Eddie's fate.

"No life is meaningless," said the Blue-Skinned Man, "and we are wasting our lives only when we feel lonely." ”

Eddie, who joined the army, watched his companions and comrades die in the flames, and he survived, but there was an indelible sadness in his heart. They are gun bearers and victims.

"Sometimes, when you sacrifice something precious, you don't really lose it. You just pass it on to another person. ”

There are gains and losses, and vice versa. There is an old Chinese saying called Sai Weng lost his horse, and he knew the misfortune and happiness. This is a consolation to Sayon, if you look at the whole thing from the shoes of a bystander, one person loses something, then another person will get it, which is very much in line with the law of conservation of energy in physics. That kind of thing still exists in one corner of the world.

"All parents hurt their children. It was their common life. Ignoring, violent, silent. At this moment, somewhere beyond death, Eddie was leaning against a stainless steel wall, slumped in a snowdrift, and the man's neglect of him stung his heart once again. Inexplicably, he still longs for the love of the man, the man who ignores him even in heaven. His father. The damage has been done. ”

Recently there has been a lot of discussion about the original family, when a person grows up, his first (two?). The teacher is his parents, when the worldview, outlook on life and values have just sprouted, the parents give thunder and wind or sunshine and rain and dew, will appear in the future, like a novel, laid the foreshadowing at the beginning, to the middle of the little by little unfolding, until the end, grass snake gray line, ambush thousands of miles. Children who are accustomed to quarreling and domestic violence will inevitably be affected by the violent factors in their bodies when they grow up, and children who are not valued by their parents will also be desolate in the vast and fertile fields of life in the future.

"People say they found love, as if love were something hidden under a rock. However, love is varied and varies for any man or woman. What people find is a certain kind of love. What Eddie found was some kind of love with Margaret, a grateful love, a deep and wordless love, a love that he knew could not be replaced by anyway. As soon as she left, he let go of his life. He let his heart fall asleep. ”

It's a bit like the storyline in "A Man Named Ovie Decides to Die".

At a point in time, the hero happens to meet his true destiny, and in his feelings for her, gratitude and love are of the same quality. Her love illuminated his otherwise gloomy world, bringing infinite light and hope, like a refreshing wind, the dark clouds dissipated, and the sky began to clear.

Eddie's life runs through war and death, indifference and tenderness, and finally ascends to heaven with a thousand weights of kindness. If his story has any enlightenment for me, Zuo is just that cliché, cherish the present.
