Walk Tall – from GA S05E12

Some GA snippet

Torres said:
I used to walk tall. Then came George. He took off at least an inch. Then Erica went and left me. That shaved off a few more. I got shorter. All that humiliation, it makes you shorter. So yeah, I am scared of getting hurt because one more personal disaster right now would cut me off at the knees.

Some “Noname” said: No one knows how short you are except for you.

Sloan said to Torres:
Walk tall. All you can do is be brave enough to get out there. You fought, you loved, you lost. Walk tall, Torres.

关于未来 《時をかける少女》

    前段时间偶然在百合上看到的一部IMDB评分8的动画电影,据说音乐、画面都很不错,加上一点科幻色彩,于是很感兴趣地down了下来,不过直到今天才把它看了。
    画面果然很不错,有点新海诚的感觉,音乐和音效也一直很应景,校园里蓝天白云下的故事很“有趣”很有意思,蛮赞的一部片子。
    这里就不剧透了,说说感想吧。
    我们都不知道未来是什么样子,假如我们有能力改变一件事情的结果但不知道对将来的影响——那对于任何我们不愿意发生的事情,我们都会去改变一下试试看吧,如果改变之后的未来并不如意,那就换一种结果再试一次,直到自己满意为足;接着,假如我们有这种能力,但一生中只能使用有限的次数,比如说,10次,我们还会使用这种能力吗?又会在什么时候用?很难的问题。
    这个世界上的选择实在太多了,即使只是改变了其中一件小事,对未来的影响也是巨大的,除非我们有无数次重来的机会,否则,我们怎么可能把每一件事情都变得如自己所愿呢?所以,把握住现在,把握住未来的大方向,但不要太多地考虑未来,才是最现实的吧——因为,未来,我们都不知道会是怎样。

    突然想起了量子力学,无数的平行宇宙,如果我们能在这无数的平行宇宙中随意穿行,那就意味着我们可以随意地选择一件事情的结果吧。有限次的穿越对于无穷的宇宙来说微不足道,所以,老老实实地待在自己的宇宙中、尽量把握住自己的方向吧。

About compromise

    In Everwood S01E20,Ephram pops a question “What’s the point of becoming great if you compromise everything to get there?” At the first he means his piano teacher Matt’s “dirty” stuff and the lie about why he’s gonna leave. But then he realizes that his father Andy Brown is also compromised. He said, “You compromised. Think about it.  Would you have saved as many lives if you were home for dinner every night?” Doctor Brown admitted “Probably not”.
Then Andy told Ephram, “You won’t make the same mistakes. You’re 15 years old and you’re already asking yourself these questions. It took 20 years of neurosurgery, the death of your mother, and moving us to the middle of nowhere, before I even knew what the questions were.”

If I ask myself this question, my answer probably is, we should figure out what the most important is to myself, and that’s the thing we can’t compromise, or at least we can’t afford compromise. And that is what we are gonna fight for.
