Ikari Yuantang raised his hands and surrendered. What did Dulan want him to do? Why don't he try to change it? As long as he and Ikari Wei are allowed to renew their relationship, he is willing to do it. Facing a guy like Dulan,
He gave up and didn't want to fight Dulan anymore. He just wanted to meet again as soon as possible.
Du Lan thought that it was impossible for Ikari Yuantang to listen to his words. He said: "So you think that the love between you and Ikari Wei can be achieved through certain means. You regard love as a transaction, not a belief."
People who worship gods for smooth exams, promotions and fortunes, or everything goes well do not believe in gods, but seek deals with gods. If gods cannot guarantee that their wishes will come true, they can continue worshiping in another temple.
And faith means worshiping only one god, asking for nothing, and unconditionally demanding oneself according to the teachings of this god. Whether it is happiness or suffering, it will not change, because they are pursuing the ultimate goal promised by this god, or the other side.
, or heaven.
Ikari Yuantang's compromising behavior was because he hoped to reunite himself with Ikari Wei through the deal with Dulan, so he was criticized by Dulan again.
Ikari Yuantang couldn't bear it anymore. Dulan would criticize him no matter what he did, which made him really angry.
But no, because any behavior can be extended into different branches, and you can criticize another branch if you find any branch. Therefore, Dulan is in an invincible position and can criticize as much as he wants. As long as he is willing, Ikari
Gendo could only endure everything.
"Ikari Wei is now pursuing a more ambitious goal, which is to explore the truth of the universe and the meaning of human beings. Do you have the heart to stop her?" Dulan asked.
"I don't want to stop it, but I can go with her." Ikari Yuantang said.
"What about Shinji Ikari? He is your son. Someone must stay with him to take care of him and worry about him." Duran continued.
Ikari Yuantang said very directly: "He is already a mature EVA pilot and should be used to living alone. Moreover, he has a teacher like you and has made many new friends, even if he becomes an orphan, it will be the same
You can live a good life without having to stick to your parents." He doesn't think his son needs parents. After all, his son has been living alone with relatives since he was five years old. Whether or not he has parents doesn't make any difference.
"Aren't you working outside alone and staying at home alone to take care of the children? You can't do this." Dulan said: "Otherwise, you stay at home and take care of the children. Every Chinese Valentine's Day, Ikari Wei goes home for a day.
.”
It became the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. The Weaver Girl was busy with her career outside, while the Cowherd took care of the children at home. They met every year on Chinese Valentine's Day.
Dulan gave in. From not being able to see him for a whole year, to now being able to see him for one day, this was a huge change.
However, Ikari Gendo said unhappily: "You can just put forward the conditions. Why do you have to be so secretive? Are you just worried that Shinji will have no one to take care of him? This is not a problem at all. Even if Shinji has no parents, he will be fine.
Boys should be stronger."
"Then you will be fine without Ikari Wei. Why don't you be stronger?" Du Lan said angrily. He had already given in, but the other party still refused to give in. This was a bit too much.
Ikari Yuantang didn't know what to say. He was naturally different from his son. He really did it for love, one of the most noble feelings in the world.
"Okay, every Chinese Valentine's Day, if you want to accept it, just accept it. If you don't want to, forget it, and don't negotiate terms with me anymore. Since you are a father, just do something good. Stop acting like a child who won't grow up.
." Du Lan said that Ikari Yuantang is not mature at all. Do you still think that the world has to revolve around him? Everyone in this world has their own choice. Ikari Wei made his own choice, so as a husband
You have to be considerate of Ikari Wei and let her have no worries.
Ikari Yuantang was very angry and helpless. His perfect love was damaged by Du Lan. He did not think that he was wrong. In the final theatrical version, it was not Ikari Yuantang who changed, but Ikari Shinji.
Okay. If you can’t change others, just change yourself. It’s a very cliche ending.
Du Lan still remembered that before he traveled through time, when he was still a high school student, his Chinese teacher discussed this point of view. Also, the protagonist Suzi in "Ghost in the Shell" also said long ago that you can't change the world, that is to go
Adapt to the world.
In fact, the idea of wanting the world to become better is naturally correct, but the world is objective, not subjective. The material world is subject to material limitations, and the degree of development is determined by productivity. Human beings’ understanding of the world,
Observation of the universe is very limited. However, the human soul is too free and is too protected in industrialized cities, which leads to various dissatisfactions.
But in the face of all kinds of dissatisfaction with reality, the human soul is powerless, because the individual soul cannot even change itself, let alone change the world and promote the development of productivity. Therefore, the individual soul either adapts to society, or is constantly collided and injured.
.
So in the end, Shinji Ikari chose to change himself and compromise with his stubborn father. He couldn't change his father, so he could only change himself.
Ikari Yuantang is still trying to realize his perfect love and try to change Dulan's decision. Faced with such a person, Ikari Shinji is definitely powerless, but Dulan is firm in his idea of seeing one day on Chinese Valentine's Day and will not give Ikari Yuan any more
Don made more concessions.
Ikari Yuantang is not satisfied. One day is not enough. He wants to be with Ikari Wei all the time.
"Don't put on this ugly unwilling expression. In fact, you are not smart or strong. Your only outstanding feature is the only thing you can't change. You say you can change it, but I know very well that you can't.
Change your pursuit of Ikari Wei. As for other directions, you have never insisted on it. It has always been changed. The so-called change is a change in thinking. A change in thinking determines how you will allocate resources and how you will practice.
.But your thinking is to pursue Ikari Wei, and you can't change this at all. Even if the world is destroyed, you will not change." What Du Lan wants to change is Ikari Yuantang's view of love, making him realize that love includes family.
, including son.
But Ikari Yuantang will definitely not change this. If he changes, then he can accept the status quo. If he cannot accept the status quo, it means he will not change.
Thinking determines how to allocate resources and how to practice. His thinking can also be inferred from practice.
This is true for Ikari Yuantang. Except for not changing his outlook on love, he is willing to change everything else. But such changes are meaningless.
Some people may ask, why did Ikari Gendo not change, but Ikari Shinji finally changed?
Because Ikari Yuantang's pursuit of his own happiness is an idealistic goal in itself, a small love set in his own heart, so he cannot change the setting. What Shinji Ikari hopes is to liberate the world and make everyone happy. Obviously Shinji Ikari
This goal cannot be achieved by relying on idealism alone. It must develop productivity and improve distribution relations. It must be achieved through everyone's efforts and everyone must awaken to the consciousness of "liberating the whole world first and then liberating oneself".
Idealistic little love seems weak in front of the grand proposition of liberating the world. Ikari Gendo can define little love through idealistic means, so he doesn't want to change anything. But Ikari Shinji realizes the limit of idealism and the power of the objective world
, so he can only change himself. If Shinji Ikari only cares about his own happiness, then he can live a life without shame and shame with beautiful girls through the power of idealism, but he is not so selfish. He hopes that everyone can be happy.
So in the end he changed himself, gave up his idealism, and built a world where everyone can pursue happiness without apostles.
