Ideals are beautiful, reality is fucked up

I have always heard people say: The ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny. When I was a little younger, I just listened to it as a joke and there wouldn't be too many cries. Now that I have started working, I truly understand the meaning of this sentence.

? Ideals are things that are out of reach for us mortals, reality is things within your reach.

1. Ideals are beautiful, but reality is too fucked

? Today I watched the movie "The Sewing Machine Band" directed by Dapeng. When I didn't go to see it, my friend said to me, this It's a movie about music. After reading it, I realized that this is not music, but an ideal.

? Many times, what you think is not on the same track as what you see, just like the ideal in your heart and your reality. "Sewing Machine Band" tells a story about musical dreams.

? In order to earn money to support his band, the manager Cheng Gong played by Dapeng went to the rock town Ji'an to help Hu Liang, who had a rock and roll dream since childhood, form a band to prevent the government from dismantling Ji'an. Big guitar. Because the big guitar has been Hu Liang's belief since he was a child, and it is also the representative of the entire Ji'an. Only with the big guitar can the "rock town" Ji'an exist.

? When he met Hu Liang, Cheng Gong was disappointed. Because of the money, he stayed and decided to help Hu Liang form a band. Later, Yang Shuangshu, Xixi, Jianguo, and Dynamite became the band. Together with Hu Liang, they formed a band - "Sewing Machine Band". The whole band looked so disharmonious, ranging from uncles in their fifties to teenagers, but their ideals were so harmonious. Everyone wishes that the big guitar is still there and the ideal is still there.

? I have always felt that people who work hard for their ideals are probably the bravest and incomparable people in the world.

? They performed in various places to prepare for the final night under the big guitar. However, the day before the government invited them to perform, Cheng Gong went alone to meet Jianguo's father. He had a lot of money, so he refused this performance because if he didn't dismantle the big guitar, Jianguo's father would lose a lot.

? Jianguo’s father said something. I saw a lot of comments, with mixed reviews, but I can see traces of life in those words.

? He said: "Money can save lives, but ideals cannot." His favorite sentence in the barrage is "Ideals are beautiful, but reality is too fucked up." This sentence probably resonates with too many young people who are struggling on the road. Later, this matter was exposed, and Cheng Gong returned to Beijing. Everyone's life seemed to have returned to the past, as if there had never been any efforts for Da Guitar, but in fact, Da Guitar had still been changed. It fell, but was rebuilt in everyone’s heart.

? When an ideal becomes solid, it is indelible. Even if the thing that represents it is gone, the ideal can still be there. Of course the story couldn't end like this. Cheng Gong came back and they decided to say goodbye to Big Guitar. Although Big Guitar was dismantled, as long as there is rock and roll in your heart, you can do it anywhere.

? Finally, the performance was a success, but Ji'an is still the same rock city. There is no big guitar, but there is a guitar school. The dream is still there, and everything is continuing, but their lives are... It's really calm. Saying goodbye to the past and living separately is probably also saying goodbye to ideals.

2. I don’t have an ideal. If I have one, I would probably make a lot of money. What are you living for?

? Of course it is to make money and live.

So there’s nothing fun to do?

? Yes, but what is the use of an interesting life? Can I support myself? This was a conversation I had with my friend Kyuubi a long time ago, when she had graduated five years ago and I had just graduated.

When we first met her, we moved to their house next door. Through the window, we could see her wearing a dance costume and wearing long braids, dancing by the window. Sometimes she would sing and dance at the same time. People who can dance are born with aura, and they are so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away. I just stared at her blankly.

When she found me, she waved to me, and I ran under her window. She said, little one, do you want to learn to dance? I remember that I was so eager to learn to dance that my head would nod like a chicken pecking.

? After that, she began to teach me singing and dancing until she went to school in other places. Later, I was admitted to college and rarely saw her. The last time I saw her was when I came home from vacation and she cut a With short hair, makeup, business attire, and high heels, she looks a little more mature and capable, a bit unlike the innocent and clean girl I remembered. We sat in the milk tea shop all afternoon and talked a lot about dreams and life.

? I remember one thing she said to me very clearly. She said, I don’t have an ideal. If I have one, it would probably be to make a lot of money. When I first graduated, I was dissatisfied with the world and fought hard for my ideals. Later I thought that ideals might not be suitable for me. Now I finally understand that there is no such thing as suitability or not. Ideals are only for rich people. If you don’t have money, ability, or opportunities, don’t talk about ideals because you have no capital.

? After parting with her, I thought for a long time, what is ideal? So many people broke their heads for it and finally succumbed to life.

3. Everyone has ideals, but in the end they are just dreams.

? To use a friend’s words, who doesn’t have an ideal? When you are young, you can risk your life for it, but when you get older, you can't because you no longer have the same momentum as before. So, youth is really important.

? I have always encouraged the young people around me to pursue their dreams and do whatever they want while they are young, otherwise they will not have the chance when they are old. Eat and drink when you should, sleep until you wake up naturally, and spend money until your hands feel weak. The most perfect pursuit of life is probably like this.

? And there are indeed many people around me who are doing this, but there are also too many people who stop doing it because their ideals move too slowly and life is too fast, so that their ideals are gone. Submerged in life. Just like spending money too fast and making money too slowly. Furthermore, regardless of reality, ideal is the purest thing for everyone. It may be something that has been grown up with since childhood, or it may be the most determined and dreamed thing, so that many people want to realize it. , ideals are often killed by cruel reality.

? As I said at the beginning, ideals are not within the reach of us mortals because we are not strong enough.

? Those who live by their ideals are either rich or strong enough. If you don't have either, then please keep your ideals in your heart and let them be broken into pieces and still be able to piece together a beautiful dream. If you can't afford your ideals, let's let them go. Ideals can't save lives, but money can. Ideals are full, but life allows you to experience all kinds of life.
