I always have an intuition that one day I will finish this series and these six people. No matter how lofty I become that day, no matter how much I laugh at the soap bubbles I played when I was a child, I will try my best to keep the mink alive. He Laoshi told me the story of Frege and Russell before, saying that the old man was stabbed to death by a young man, stopped his previous research all his life and died of depression. At that time, I said that if it were me, I would do it again and again. Later, I learned that the problem was not as serious as Mr. He said. Frege's research is still going on, but it is serious, not stubborn. Now, after all, I have begun to write "serious classics", which is somewhat reluctant. Compared with the "lofty" I covet, it seems a little old-fashioned.

Monica is said to be a common name in America, such as Ping, Juan and Jing in our country. In fact, it is expressing a good wish that has been fully popularized and promoted. I haven't done any cultural homework here, so I can only write wherever I want. I only remember that St. Augustine's mother was Monica, a very devout Christian and one of the early saints. Augustine wrote in Confessions that his conversion to Christianity was largely influenced by his mother. The old lady is a strong-willed and determined person, humble, self-disciplined and virtuous. The cultural significance of Santa Monica is universal in the west, so the word Monica will naturally have a corresponding signifier. From this, it is easy to understand Monica's personality characteristics in Friends. She represents the traditional forces such as order, maternal love and virtue. She is crazy about marriage, children and cleanliness; I am extremely strong in the face of work and challenges, but when my moral embarrassment and mistakes appear, I feel guilty. She loves two men, one is Charlie and the other is Chandler. The first begins with romance, and the last idea is incompatible with fate. The second kind begins with fragility, disorder and trust, and ends with romance, calmness and happiness-which is also typical from the external and popular point of view-and ends with the American dream of a middle class, adopted and suburban house.

Anyone who has seen Friends will have the impression that Monica is a less attractive character in it, although Contency Cox's acting skills are not worse than others. In fact, all mainstream works have a function of setting the tone for the basic value of the works, just like the main ingredients of dishes. But in the eyes of modern people who pursue novelty, it is often not important what the ingredients are. Everyone is concerned about the way of cooking and the collocation of ingredients, because this determines the "personality" of this dish. So, if Rachel decides her friend's "personality", then Monica decides the "tone" of this dish. So it's not surprising that Aniston is on the big screen.

It seems that the role of Monica is a symbol that reminds people of the word "old-fashioned", but what is it actually? Any world needs order and correct values. The difference lies in which one of them has a more humane practical identity. Generally speaking, it depends on which one can guide human nature better. In fact, there is a little traditional power in anyone's heart, even those radicals, whose opposition to the value system they come from lies in structure rather than purpose.

Please imagine those who ignore Monica, without her kitchen, her living room, her insistence on neatness, her diligence, her maintenance of the bottom line, her control of order, in other words, without the conservative forces of the old right she represents, what friends would be like. Let me say a logical speculation that many people are unwilling to accept: it will become a feast for leftist radicals, feminists, hippies, eroticists and nerds, won't it? I'm afraid the translation of Friends into a group of six has other meanings. The truth is actually very simple, but it took me many years to start singing this.

She used to be a chubby girl, but through hard work, she finally lost weight and gave full play to her potential as a beauty embryo. Then the process of love is as easy to understand as a formula. Falling in love with Charlie stems from not loving his father, and the combination with Chandler symbolizes the most positive and perfect interpretation of "it could have been so beautiful". She once asked Rachel, "Do you think soul mates exist? I don't think it exists. " This conclusion is exactly the same as that of Harvard Happiness Class. I have seen it many times before, but I have never been able to agree with the meaning here. My heart says that the hero and heroine of your play are not? Later, when I thought about it carefully, it turned out that the previous understanding of soul mate was too simple. People often emphasize some accidental acquisition and rely on the maintenance of marriage. How many people are picky when they are young, but they don't have the courage to face being single when they are old? Like many people, Monica has had this fantasy, but he is neither as free and easy as Rachel nor as determined as Phoebe. The former used all the pots and pans, but always reluctant to throw away the beloved small glass; The latter always loved the sincere Frank before Mike appeared. In Monica's eyes, marriage is more important than love, so she is more likely to give up. But she is lucky, or the world is sometimes dialectical. Because someone loves her, she finally gave up her fear of marriage, so finally Monica's happiness depends on love. Chandler is such a person. When he realizes the positive significance of responsibility and virtue in love, he will firmly love Monica. This love doesn't even depend on Monica's understanding of it. It is something that can be maintained like faith. Of course, at this point in the story, is there a soul mate? Or is that not important anymore?

People say that love is the grave of marriage. I don't know what kind of love this is, but there must be no real soul mate in it, and it must not be true and sound love. Love that can truly become the cornerstone of a beautiful marriage always means responsibility, virtue, self-cultivation, patience and courage.

Of course, I may be a pessimist. I think death and time will eventually become the graves of love and marriage. But that's no reason for us to give up the good things in life, is it? Maybe one day, you will be torn apart and donate blood in the face of despair, but that is not today; Maybe one day, you will be forced to unplug the oxygen tube of your wife who is dying in pain, but that's not today! Today, we live well and love well.

In the end, you will find that the meaning of life lies in courage, not in continuity.
