The first time I saw this screenshot was many years ago. Maybe five or six years, maybe more. At that time, it was still a teenager who didn't know the taste of sorrow.

Recently, this picture has been frequently brushed in the circle of friends. I looked at this screenshot that appeared in front of me again and again, and I tried to get closer to it and understand it more y. This screenshot is from the movie The Weatherman. released in 2005, a 102-minute movie.

"To get something of value, you have to make sacrifices. Did you know that the hard thing to do and the thing that should be done are often the same thing? Nothing meaningful is ever easy, and there is no easy word in adult life."

Here's a relatively complete version of the classic line.

The hero, David, is a weatherman. Loved and relieved by his fans. Whenever the weather is bad, or when the forecast deviates from the reality, people take it out on Davey.

David's job is basically to read from a book, using less than half of his expertise and earning very little. He only has two hours a day to work, and he has to work full time. This is undoubtedly a kind of torment for David.

I don't know read here, the article opposite you have no personal experience. Now do the work, did not use half of their expertise. Once spirited, dreaming of changing the world, now by the reality, by the system is firmly bound, can not move.

On top of his work troubles, David's wife has divorced him and is unsympathetic to David's proposals for remarriage. His son Mike is addicted to marijuana and is in rehab. The counselor at the rehab center has strange feelings for Mike. Daughter Sydney is grossly overweight, teased by her classmates, and smokes cigarettes. Always sad and lonely. The father, Robert, is a world-famous novelist with a high reputation. Because of his father's fame, David has always lived in the shadow of his father's halo, and tried his best to show himself in front of his father. And now, Robert is terminally ill and has only three or four months left to live.

Before his death, the family organizes a living funeral for his father. (A living funeral is not much different from a real funeral. The only noticeable difference is that the person who is about to die is still alive at the pre-life funeral) And at his own father's pre-life funeral, his speech was only one sentence. Because right after he said that first sentence, the power suddenly went out. 40 minutes later, the power came back on. But people had long forgotten about the fact that he was going to give a speech. "Whenever I think of Dad, I think of Bob Seger's 'Just Like a Mountain Rock'"? That line, too, became his entire speech at his own father's living funeral.

It all seems so unsatisfying.

But there's no such thing as an easy adult life.

However, life will not be all endless despair. It will always give you a glimmer of hope in the midst of deep despair. For David, the only glimmer of hope in his life was an invitation to appear on the program "Hello? For David, the only hope in his life was an invitation to appear on the program "Hello America". David made it through the audition. He became New York's Mr. Weather. Here, he was respected. He accepted his job and his life. A new start and a good income.

Though, at first, he envisioned himself getting a position at "Hello America", and then being able to work his way up to "Mr. Weather" in New York City. America" and bring his family (parents, wife, children) to New York to start a new life.

And now he's got the job.

But the father has died and the wife has not remarried.

The reality is that this is how it happened, and it's not what one expected.

In such a terrible situation, the best thing David could have done was to accept the invitation to interview at Hello America. There is no easy life in adult life. It's all about being positive and doing what you have to do to make it work.

Now, he has achieved "American success". (American success is a purely personal heroic struggle, which relies on individual efforts, not relying on the strength of any parents or family members, fighting alone, and relying on personal charisma and ability to win career success.)

It's kind of a backlash against a bad life.

In our real lives, we may encounter situations that are even worse than the movie.

Isn't that what they say in the movie Cinema Paradiso, "Life isn't like the movies, it's a lot harder."

But life never gets easier, we just have to be stronger.

This is a heavy and inspiring story. It happened for real, and it exists for real. I put them here to tell myself and everyone else, "Fate will always favor those who cherish life more, and are stronger and braver.

Seeing this, the heavy workload, the morning rush hour subway, the weight gain, what can be counted?

Being alive is already worth celebrating. What we need is to find the meaning of living, so that this life is full and full.

In the movie, David thinks about his first days as a weatherman, when people threw all kinds of food at him. Coke, apple pie, burgers, fries ...... He realizes that all of these foods are fast food. What is fast food? It is those things that are cheap, easy to make, and taste okay, but have no nutrition at all, and can be thrown away at will if you can't finish it.

There is no nutrition and that's the point.

It doesn't matter how long or short your life is, it doesn't matter how rich or poor your life is.

It's the lack of nutrition that counts in this long life.

Finally, to end this article with a line from a movie.

"I envisioned what my life would be like, what I would be like myself. I envisioned myself having all these qualities, fine qualities, qualities that would make one exceptional. But as the years went by, I pretty much didn't get any of those qualities. And the possibilities I faced at first and the variety of people I could have been diminished year after year. Eventually only one remains, and that is who I am now."

It's true that there's no such thing as easy in adult life. But that's life.

We fight all the way, not to change the world, but to keep the world from changing us.

Finally, I hope you are strong and brave. Become the master of your life soon.
