It is ourselves that we should conquer and please most

On the one hand, it looks like the old man has "won." He really defeated the fish, defeated the shark, and ended the battle as a winner. On the other hand, the elderly are undoubtedly "lost." In the end, he got nothing, no reward, no celebration, and the great pressure of survival still torments his spirit. He had no choice but to curl up with his tired and scarred body and fall asleep in the shack.
This tragic ending is so sad. It's as if there are no winners in life. No matter how brave and fearless you are, no matter how skilled and proficient you are, you will eventually lose yourself in front of one enemy after another, become soil, become sea water, and disappear with the wind. Failure, as if everyone can not escape the fate. The resulting deep sense of powerlessness is hard to accept.

马靖瑜When the scales of the world are not tilted in favour of everyone, there is always the use of people who are lifted high on the other end of the scale symbolising bad luck, and without confidence, bad luck can easily consume empty hearts. Man is really a strange creature, why does he have the courage to face death but not failure? Is failure really so terrible? The cold sea breeze is laced with a rush of blood, and perhaps this is what man is truly afraid of. Only the unruly soul is against the sea, against nature, against the world, against fate, such a soul can achieve, true greatness, even if he does not ever succeed.
