Chapter 60 If Jack and Rose never parted

Watching "Titanic" back then, I couldn't stop thinking, what would happen if Jack and Rose didn't separate, but ended up living together? This question finally has an answer.The movie "Revolutionary Road" starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet was released at the end of 2008. The two played a young couple in a suburban community in the 1950s. They are fairy couples, role models, and the perfect family whose teeth are shining "zeng—" in the washing powder advertisement. In fact, they quarrel and blame each other all day long, and every word they shoot at each other is like a drop of blood. You must take someone’s head and make it fast, just like the couple in Liu Zhenyun’s novels, one was originally a “quiet girl with delicate features. She is not fashionable but clean. Her hair is long” and the other was once a lamplighter. Aspiring young people who read at night.After living together for a few years, one of them became a "housewife who loves to chatter, doesn't comb her hair, and learns to steal water at night", and the other was busy all day long for job transfers, people coming from her hometown, and children entering kindergarten.Of course, the couple in the movie is far from so shabby, but if Jack and Rose hadn't separated, they would have ended up like this.

Why?Because, on the Titanic that day, there was a huge obstacle among them. At first, this obstacle was the difference in family status, "a king knows a concubine and has a husband", and later it even expanded to life and death. On this pile of insurmountable obstacles, all energy is used to overcome these troubles.Obstacles are like foreign viruses, arousing the awakening of the immune system, and the love is extraordinarily fanatical. This arduous process diverts the parties from examining each other, and prompts the strangers to quickly form an alliance. Love adds value, it is the obstacle that makes them fall in love with each other, and it is even possible that they just fell in love with the obstacle.And in that quiet "Revolutionary Road" community, if there are no obstacles, how will love be attached?When all external obstacles disappear, each other becomes an obstacle, and after the initial enthusiasm peels off, there is only a chicken feather left.

There are too many examples in the field of vision.At that time, Lin Yilian and Chen Huihong, who had just debuted, were passionately in love. The obstacles between them were their respective suitors, unfulfilled careers, and their own unexhausted desires. When they reunited twenty years later, it would have no utilitarian purpose. There was no entanglement, no obstacles, and they talked clearly about their relationship. As a result, within a few months, they broke up, and Chen Huihong married someone else like lightning.I have a friend who is married and in love with a married woman, and the two are not in the same place. The two spent four years each, resigning, getting divorced, leaving the child behind, selling the house when housing prices rose, and going to Third place, finding a new job, buying a new house, getting married—they broke up after four months.

Obstacles inspire more frenzy than patency. The process of "frustrating—overcoming obstacles—frustrating again—overcoming obstacles" will continuously increase the psychological threshold of the parties involved and make enthusiasm more vigorous.Therefore, it is always necessary to put forward a lofty goal that is almost impossible to achieve. To achieve this kind of goal, it is doomed to be full of obstacles and a long way to go. However, the attention and complaints of the masses are all eliminated in the process of breaking down obstacles, so they withdraw their eyes from looking at themselves. .

A love story that really ends on a climax where obstacles are declared to be overcome.In other things, of course, it's the same—you know what I'm talking about.
