song without words

Satan questioned Job's loyalty to God, and God handed Job over to Satan for temptation.Under the control of Satan, Job did not sin, but his family was ruined and he was seriously ill.Job's friends Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar saw Job's miserable state, and based on this, they deduced that behind Job's suffering must be hidden great evils, and they changed from comforters to judges and accusers.Job, however, was free from what his friends called a great sin.Zophar and others refused to admit Job’s innocence, but in essence they were only deceiving themselves and others: Once they admitted that Job suffered without sinning, it meant that innocent people would also suffer, so they might also suffer for nothing, or even fall into a more terrible situation than Job. situation.

In the face of patients, Baudouin basically would not directly infer that the patient has a moral problem based on the result of getting the disease, and blame everything on the patient's own problem-this is not just his opinion on Petri, but his opinion on all patients.Baudouin believes that disease is a human thing, so there are always innocent people who get sick, and everyone, including himself, may get sick at any time.Therefore, for diseases, Baudouin chooses to place the morality of people, and first pays attention to the diseases themselves.

*Prometheus & Narcissus: The Difficulty of Ideas

Petri compares the artist to Prometheus, Baudouin to Narcissus.The "truth" mentioned by Baudouin and Petri implies absolute truth, an abstract idea about the nature of the world, and does not refer to ordinary truth.

Petri has a hopeless view of art, truth is hard to find, so artists are Prometheus who cannot steal fire from heaven.Petri himself is a creator, and his views reveal his creative dilemma.

In German classical philosophy, Schelling regards artistic intuition as the "keystone" of all philosophy, and the distance between art and philosophy is not far away.Bode also believed that the truth is difficult to grasp, but the truth can be revealed, and the artist has the ability to directly reach the truth (but not grasp it rationally) with sensibility, and at the same time, art can see "people".When talking about art, Bode is affirming people.

* Insomniac Baudouin

Baudouin's insomnia and predicament were not fundamentally caused by Petri, but Petri reminded Baudouin that Petri returned the identity card to Baudouin.Sexuality is not a difficult problem for Baudouin. His dilemma mainly lies in two aspects:

In terms of academics, Bode seems to be less interested in modern philosophy, and more interested in traditional philosophy, in the study of metaphysical content.The opposite of metaphysics is metaphysics, that is, tangible and real things.But after Bode saw the broken city with his own eyes, his concept was shocked. He saw the plight of reality, no matter what the essence of philosophical pursuit is—matter, spirit, Hegel’s absolute spirit, spirit and The two basic elements of matter... No matter what the metaphysical and abstract ultimate direction of this world is, no matter how wide the scope of rationality can be explored, people in reality are suffering, and they are indeed suffering.Bode's compassion is that he does not lose sight of reality.Petri's feelings are very keen, and his focus happens to be reality and real people.

Just like asking why people die and seeing dead people are two different concepts, when he pays attention to reality, Bode is reflecting on whether his knowledge has created a kind of indifferent opposition: if a person does not think and feel seriously, he may easily Controlled by public opinion, social traditions and various media information, one-sided impetuousness, absent-mindedness, and a state of emptiness.People should think. This kind of thinking includes the pursuit of knowledge and thinking about existence.However, excessive use of reason to pursue knowledge and think about existence without feeling, people may also be trapped by reason and alienated into a vassal of knowledge.One of the manifestations of Bode's reflection is that he did not continue to write the thesis for a while, so Bode became "Baudoin who couldn't write the paper".In modern philosophy, Nietzsche has already proposed "revaluation of all values", ascribes value to life, and re-examines the role of reason.Bode needs self-denial, which is not a bad thing, but he needs time and peace.

In terms of family, M. Lefevere was excluded by his wife, so that when Mrs. Lefevere and Fernand quarreled, Bode was caught in the middle.Unfortunately, Fernand has a strong personality and Mrs. Lefevere is often unwilling to budge - Bode is not good at solving their problems and wants to be alone, but has to face everything.Bode, who couldn't stand it anymore, finally chose to leave Bremen.Later Petry brought up his father, which reminded Bird.

* pietà beyond Rilke: about the mother

The article mentioned "pietà", which mostly refers to the scene of the Pieta in paintings and sculptures.When Jesus was born—even when Mary conceived, the Virgin Mary knew that he was the Son, that he was not hers, that he was doomed to suffer, to be forsaken, to be crucified on Calvary.But the Virgin Mary, as a mother, still loves her son Jesus.

Mothers are painful and great.Her child will suffer, her child will not belong to her alone, but she loves her child no matter what.

The mothers of Bird and Pete loved their sons so deeply.

Christina<********.****.**>

To Baudouin:

My son, I should give an explanation for my silence last time.

After I communicated with your father, I realized that I was not the first person you wanted to notify.As a mother, I was saddened and found myself failing in my duty - I should have found out earlier and offered support and comfort in your time of greatest need.Thank you for choosing to be honest with your mother instead of lying.

It is a very absurd situation to say: every mother is an exception to her own child.When you go to college, I talk to other mothers and think that going to college isn't the only way, but there's always another voice in my head: Yes, yes, there are many ways, but mine The son must continue to study.This kind of stubbornness, or double standard, also keeps the distance between Fein and me.

Bode, you hardly ever argue with me or bother me.This is your stability as a son, but as a mother, I should not forget to consider your will.Finn is not like you, he is always rebellious, never willing to follow my presuppositions.Maybe the best I want to give you is not what you want, but what I think.

As a mother, I can be very controlling at times, but that's being a mother.Sorry, Baudouin, my son, I overlooked your stress a lot of the time.There are so many things I should have done, but I didn't.

When I say that I support gay and bi, I also think so strangely, other people can be, I will support them, but my son can't be.Now I realize this.I should also try to understand Finn, understand his upbringing.There are thousands of roads in this world, and you two don't need to walk the same road.

Bode, I hope you can love the one you love, you are right, no matter how wide your choice is, there will only be one person you love the most.May you find your beloved and be happy.You will always be my wonderful son.

Remember to think of your mother, and your father.

love you

Christina

The author has something to say: B.Lefevre<************.**>

To Christina:

Mom, great to hear from you.

Please don't beat yourself up too much, I'm already an adult, if I want something, I will say it.The problem is that many times I can be honest with myself, but I don't need this kind of honesty with people outside of me.I don't think some candor is necessary, everyone has their secrets, everyone has a persona.

In the matter of sexual orientation, I began to understand that there was really only one path in front of me.Requiring a bisexual person to like the opposite sex may be like asking a unisexual person to have a different partner.Bisexuals seem to have more options—it just “seems” that they don’t, and they face greater pressure and misunderstanding because of the “other way” that seems to exist.I don't need to confess for choosing a path, because I didn't have a choice, and I don't need to be forgiven.But Mom, I thank you for your understanding no matter the time, it's never too late.

All the best and best regards to Dad, Finn and his girlfriend.

Miss you

Baudouin

☆、Attachment: Illness and Morality

"Hi, everyone, welcome to this quick interview to help you ask your questions, I'm your Chrissy. Today I brought in my old friend, Peter Hearn, to do this The first episode." Chris said, "Hi, Peter."

"Hi, everyone. Long time no see, Chris."

"Hmm, I think we haven't seen each other for a while." Kris asked Petrie, "Did you miss me when we didn't see each other?"

"Probably not."

"Aha?"

"Because I watch your interviews, I see you often. Hahaha, do you miss me?"

"Of course, you charming guy, we couldn't get in touch with you for a while, and I was worried," Chrissy said, "until you suddenly went live one time last month, and I thought, God, he's alive .”

"I'm so sorry, I was a little self-willed a while ago."

"No, no, it's okay. I didn't know you had so many things going on, I know, it was definitely hard for you during that time."

"Hmm... Well, actually, you don't have to worry so much. I met my lover during that time, and he was with me. I was very lucky."

"he?"

"Oh..." Petry used "he" subconsciously, "Uh... can you re-record it?"

"Haha, sure, if you mind," Chrissy said, "so it's really 'him'?"

"Yes. We love each other."

"Wow, wow...Peter, the amount of information today is a bit heavy. Does this paragraph need to be deleted?"

"Forget it, I don't really mind, it doesn't matter if you don't delete it."

"Peter, may I ask about your lover?"

"Of course. When I told my lover everything, I wrote a letter with the result first and the reason behind. I was really scared. But my lover didn't even bother to read the letter." He doesn't need to know the reason, because no matter what the reason is, he will not feel that it is sinful or immoral. My lover reads the letter just because he wants to know what happened to me, and then comforts me, no ... Well, there is no meaning similar to examining character and accountability. Even if I change a few reasons, it will not affect his attitude. I don't know how to express it. All I can say is that I really love him. The presence of my lover is enough to offset all my pain."

"So, before your webcast last month, maybe your lover was there for you?"

"No. So...to be honest, I'm a little nervous."

"But you did it firmly, and what you did was not a temporary idea."

"Because I feel like I can take on something. It's not a sense of responsibility, I just want to help other people. The isolation is more hopeless than the disease itself."

"You were alone and helpless."

"For a while I did think that was it, I was alone. Few people were willing to talk openly about illness and it was considered a stigma. But thank you just now for saying you miss me Chrissy, I've always been loved That's what I overlooked a lot of times, in fact, I'm not as lonely as I think, and I can love others."

"Ha (hā) ha (hǎ), you and I are welcome. When did you realize this?"

"I actually realized this after I got out of what I called isolation. I was talking to my partner one morning and he said we should look at reality, whether it's good or bad, whether it's disappointing or not. .Yes, I think, I should also look at people, both conceptual and concrete."

"When you have this thought, how do you see people?"

"I discovered that man is a truly remarkable creature. It may sound vague, but it is true. In my so-called moments of isolation, I was dreaming every day, in nothingness, until I met my lover, My partner brought up the reality and it dawned on me that I think I'm in love. Everyone—everyone, not as a collective concept, has different experiences, has its own emotions, is unique. Every passer-by on the street, me, and even you, Chris, next to me, has its own history. Everyone is special, and there are billions of unique beings in this world, but who Neither can last forever, but must perish. Every human being is a unique, emotionally charged individual, and the demise of time makes man sublime and tragic."

"As many people have lived on this earth, so many people have died."

"Hmm...we are just one of countless people."

"Now how do you look at people who express their dislike of you on the Internet, will you be very angry?"

"I think it's okay for other people to question me. What really affects me is not the questioning, but the direct malice under the public opinion. Sometimes people are unwilling to look at things calmly and just make everything emotional. If I see some... …less nice comments, I might be affected, but not as badly as before, it doesn’t mean I forgive bad behavior, I just don’t care as much. And when I pay attention to personal concepts… …Well, when I realize the reality, sometimes I find it funny to see name-calling, it’s an expression of emotion, it’s life force. There are so many different experiences and live emotions in this world. I don’t expect myself to get Everyone's support, it's unrealistic. There can't be just one emotion in this world, people can't be sane all the time, and neither can I."

"You look at these things outside of yourself."

"Maybe not, I just thought about other people's opinions for a while."

"You said that you would change your creative style. Does this have something to do with the change in your view of people?"

"Of course, there is a relationship. People are individual, but some emotions are common and eternal. I am always pursuing this metaphysical eternity from individuals to groups. But I will also try to pay attention to reality. We still need To see many things, to shatter the illusion, to see clearly the plight of human reality."

"So...Peter, what do you think about disease, or do you think it's one of our real dilemmas?"

"Yes. Death is one of the subjects of human beings, and we should face it, rather than dismiss the discussion because it feels ominous. Illness and death are close together, too, and we don't need to avoid them. For a patient, the disease itself has made People suffer, we should reduce moral blame. For example, for depression, we have no right and should never accuse the patient of being too fragile and sensitive because he or she is sick. The patient is the victim of the disease, but we often Condemn the victim morally, identify the victim as the murderer, and let go of the actual murderer such as lesions, bacteria and viruses."

"AIDS is often transmitted sexually, what do you think about it?"

"I still think it should be de-moralized and moral metaphors should be eliminated. If we only discuss sexual transmission, it is normal for people to have lust|desire and sexual|behaviour, so it may lead to infection. Uncleanness is used to evaluate diseases, and cleanliness itself is a kind of moralized rhetoric."

"Can I say this: We can accuse a person of wrongdoing, but we shouldn't accuse a person of moral wrongness because of his illness."

"Yes, the disease itself is just a disease, and getting sick is not something to be ashamed of."

"But in fact, many diseases are related to living habits."

"I don't deny this connection, and I don't think people need to be responsible for their actions. But my lover once talked about one point: disease should not be equated with external morality. In fact, morality should be a kind of personal Introspection, rather than the external tool used everywhere to judge, is not so reliable to infer motives from results. Disease is accidental, not all people who smoke will get lung cancer, and not all people who get lung cancer will smoke. If we absolutely To equate morality with disease is to confuse the facts. Further, when a certain disease, especially an infectious disease, is completely moralized, we will withdraw the sympathy we should have, and the disease will become our new means of discrimination: Getting sick is because the patient has his own problems, and he is inferior to us; even if he recovers, the experience of getting sick will become an indelible stain. In fact, getting sick is not a problem of a certain person, but a problem of everyone.”

"The appearance of disease precedes morality. When we look at disease medically, we really face it."

"Yes—we should be more medically concerned about disease."

"A truly strong person never despairs of reality, and can always find a deep passion. Peter, maybe I thought you were too fragile before."

"Haha thank you, thank you Chris, hope we always have enthusiasm. I'm not that strong, everyone is suffering, but we can't see it."

"Maybe I should have said 'Look, this is people'. My question is over, thank you Peter. That's all for this interview. Thank you very much Peter for taking the interview.
