If your life, from birth to death, was designed by others, would you like it?

Don't answer yet. The Truman Show shows us such a story.

There is a child whose life has been completely designed by others since he was born, and every detail is step by step.

The child's name is Truman, and his dream is sailing.

But only he doesn't know, in fact, his life is a reality show, which is watched by the global audience for 24 hours.

In order to keep Truman growing up, the director even designed a shipwreck to drown Truman's "father". From then on, Truman began to be afraid of the sea and stayed in taoyuan town.

Slowly, when he really started to live hard, he found that his life was fake. With tears in his eyes, he asked in despair, "So?" At that time, everyone was crying, but nobody paid attention to him. Finally, he decided to resist, go sailing at all costs, pursue his dreams, and finally found the truth of his life when he loved someone.

Open the door, Truman is gone, Truman show is over, but people's life goes on. In the movie, the last two security guards are eating dinner while looking for the next program, the next Truman who makes them happy.

It turns out that whether we live well or not is just a play in the eyes of others.

It turns out that the life we want can only be realized by our own efforts and struggles.

As it turns out,

The biggest failure in life is not falling, but never really living.

After reading The Truman Show, I felt something stuck in my throat, and I felt an unspeakable distress.

Calm down and think about it. Perhaps, each of us is Truman. The only difference is that Truman finally walked out of the world preset by others, and most of us will wander in it for life.

Our life is not designed by people. From an early age, we were told to be hygienic, to listen to adults, to be civilized and to be moral, and then there were a series of procedures: going to school, getting a job, getting married ... Sometimes, our life would be interrupted by some unconventional things, but the news would stand up, touch our heads and gently tell us: "Don't be afraid, that person is not normal; Those things will be gone in a few days, you have to be strong ... "

The elders told us: "Stability is paramount. If you find a stable job in the future, your life will be practical. "

Sometimes I wonder, is it for the so-called stability to live day after day?

The world is changing so fast, is there really stability?

We are still so young, we haven't tried many things, and we haven't pursued our dreams, so we gave up?

I think of Liu Tong's words: "Many parents say to their children: When you go back to your hometown after graduation, our clients will help you find a job, buy a house, and find a good man to marry, and our life will be at ease. But aren't people born to see the world? If we all become sheep of Little Sheep and chickens of KFC, I would rather never be born. Love is understanding, not imprisonment. Life is knowledge, not life. "

What destroys your life quietly is perfunctory or second best.

I remembered Truman's tearful eyes: "The world is so big that I have never seen anything. How can I be satisfied? "

Only such a life, you let me, how willingly?

So, how to change your life?

Truman said, "Dreams are the source of all changes." He has never given up his dream, maybe he doesn't do much at ordinary times, and even has no influence on his daily life. But this dream sprouted slowly in his heart, and one day, it broke through the soil and soared into the sky.

Truman reminds me of Nora, too They all went out at last. We don't know what happened after they went out, but at least, their efforts, good or bad, deserve our respect.

Like Mike Murphy in Fly Over the Madhouse, he didn't lift the box, but at least he tried.

Life is as usual. Have you thought of anything?

You thought you wanted to be a scientist when you were a child, and there were many "painters", "singers" and "writers" around you ... Now you just feel young and ignorant, and sometimes you laugh when you look at old photos and think of the absurdity of your childhood.

Maybe you are embarrassed in your smile, maybe you still have your dream in your heart, but if you give up, you can only laugh it off. If one day you tell someone loudly, you will get a burst of laughter and say, "Don't be silly."

So most of us still live in The Truman Show as usual. Of course, a few people broke free. They stood at the end of the world and shouted to the world: "I don't want what you gave!" " " .

When they left, they said goodbye to us-if they never see you again, good morning, good afternoon and good night.

They're out. What about us?
