self-fulfillment
Hemingway's life is full of legend. When he was young, he was a very strong man. He was crazy about his favorite sports, such as boxing and football. Hemingway's life is like a novel or a hot summer. He is the best portrayal of "life is rebirth, death is death". "To live, we must live bravely". To live brilliantly, to die "is better to be vigorous and ambitious, and burn happily in the fire than to wait until the hope is broken and moan in pain with the sick body."
Like Hemingway, Santiago is a wonderful person who wants to live, who will never be discouraged, and who is willing to challenge his destiny with his own spirit. Santiago is a tough man in Hemingway's late work The Old Man and the Sea. We can see the shadow of many authors from Santiago.
Behind Hemingway's profound and detailed written description, he often feels a lonely and empty heart, eager to be recognized and self-fulfilling. In the consciousness of one's own experience, the thought that beats but can't extricate oneself all the time.
In the book "The Old Man and the Sea", the old man tried his best to prove his strength and refused to yield to his fate. Finally, he caught a big fish. Although the fish was eaten up by sharks, the huge skeleton was amazing, and he was exhausted... Is he satisfied with it? In the face of a beautiful life, he wants to conquer as a fisherman, which is actually driven by a self-fulfilling impulse. When he was trying to fight against his own fate, he was challenged and finally defeated. In despair, the old man began to regret the life of the big fish he had conquered and attacked by sharks
The heart of the old man reflects the contradictions, conflicts, and loneliness in many of us... We have been looking for the realization of strength and achievement all our life, and want to get satisfaction and happiness from this self-verification and recognition of others. However, the desire is endless, and life is very short. Finally, we may be exhausted like the old man, but we are still finally returning to our humble hut to face our own emptiness and loneliness.
What can we prove? Behind our hearts, we are small and lonely. If you can't face your own emptiness and find the meaning behind it, and the conflicts, disasters and sorrows it brings, you will eventually be lost in the endless and increasingly distant self-seeking, and your life will be trapped in endless struggles, contradictions and conflicts.
Reading Hemingway is like reading a lonely and tenacious self. This is a very self state. We should not just look for answers in our own consciousness and thoughts and in any thought-driven actions, because all of these are limited by experience. The desire for self-expression is endless, but life is limited. In this cycle, there will be endless emptiness and sadness.
Sometimes, try to sit quietly and face yourself. Life is lonely. If there is no love in your heart, everything will be meaningless and you will be trapped in emptiness. No one can accompany himself for life. Love is not dependence, not conquest, not possession, nor sensual happiness, or fragments of memory, or any form of thought occupation... When we no longer seek ourselves, but can truly experience our loneliness and sadness and the endless beauty behind them, and release from experience, love will come, without any dependence and fear, and the meaning of life will be different.
Hemingway's true and profound description and ingenious story destiny arrangement always reflect a truth - a sense of loneliness of life, and the ultimate futility of any form of self-actualized escape. Don't wait for the injury to happen before regretting. We are the carrier of our own soul and the holder of energy. Without love, any kind of self will lead to tragedy. In this seemingly ordinary life, everything seems to be insignificant. Our problem is not how to seek comfort in solitude, but how to face our truth and understand our true existence, so that we will not be lost. Behind everything, emptiness contains endless mystery and beauty, which is the most simple and rich life.
Compared with the eyes, I associate the moment when the universe burst, the spark, the tiny starlight, is the greatness of life!
You are a miracle, with the blessing of love. The old man is very stubborn and refuses to reconcile with himself. He knows he can't do it, but it is also a kind of courage from another perspective. The whole story has a feeling of blood, which can also be understood as a sense of honor despite defeat. We will all become an old man one day, but what kind of old man we want to become is different from each other.
