Everything's NOT gonna be OK.

「人生沒有方向」


Doublethink：
To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself.
That was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce
unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed.
Even to understand the word 'doublethink' involved the use of doublethink.

人們總是說，一切都會好起來的。
但沒人願意去告訴你，一切都不會好起來的。
正如電影裡的 Henry 沒法兒安撫已經處於自殺邊緣的 Meredith。
連一句簡單的「Everything is gonna be all right.」 都說不完整。

我們對別人的痛苦無法感同身受，甚至連一點敷衍的安慰都無法做出。
我們身處痛苦，卻總是去說服別人去接受、去認同。


在這樣一個人生節點看了這部前前年的片子。
也許我應該要學會和痛苦相處了，因為沒有辦法完全超脫。
