One of the favorite books read in the last quarter was science fiction, but focused on the human dimension of growth and the meaning of life.

The story tells us that after the success of the I.D. experiment on the mouse, Algignon, scientists operated on Charlie, an idiot with only 68 I.Q., and the sane business quickly rose to 185, becoming a super genius, and again becoming an idiot because of the flaws of the experiment, the novel tells the first reader about a series of changes in Charlie’s heart and life, from being an idiot to being a genius.

Grow up

The story of Charlie’s growth comes from a rise in intelligence, from the beginning when the diary was full of miswords, life was made of ridicule and bullying without knowing it, to the later when the miswords became fewer, the sentences became more and more consistent, learning more and more, beginning to recognize and discover themselves, and finding the beauty and pain of life.

Some common sense will remember that there are two kinds of confusion in the eyes, as well as two causes, either out of the light or out of the light, whether in the eyes or in the eyes of the human body. — Ideal Countries

The process of growing up is often cruel, and Charlie’s experience is also a process of growing up, and we also have the experience of beginning to understand the dark side of the world from naive children, and we will feel the same confusion and pain.

There is a passage in the book in which Charlie’s cleverness gradually remembered that he had been bullied before, but didn’t know what had happened and thought that everyone was playing with him and that Charlie was very sad when he understood. This reminds me of a similar experience in my junior high school, when I was younger than the rest of my classmates, and I was often bullied by people who thought that I was “popular” and that this was how I was.

Growing up is also necessary because it helps us to recognize ourselves and to gain human dignity and high-level happiness.

Happy

I don’t know what’s worse: I don’t know who I am, but I’m happy, but I’m lonely.

Stupid Charlie works in a bakery, with a bunch of “good friends”, without worry, feeling like the whole world was wonderful. But in the process of becoming smarter, problems and suffering came to light, and he felt that his work was meaningless, that his “good friend” had left him because he could not fool him, and that he had recalled his previous experience of being ridiculed and teased by friends and strangers, abandoned by his family, deprived him of the desired love, dignity and meaning of existence, all of which caused him pain and was further away from happiness.

Happiness is one of the pursuits of our lives, but the irony is that the more mature the human mind seems, the harder it is to get happy, the easier it is to get happy in childhood, and the more we know and have, the more we grow up to become miserable adults.

In this regard, I share [the view of] (https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1r7411o7XD/) that happiness is the greatest joy when it has a qualitative and quantitative difference, the more it represents human dignity. There may be much confusion and suffering in the pursuit of high-level happiness, but it is more a reflection of human dignity and human meaning, and it is stronger and more enduring. The joy of Charlie’s desire for knowledge and the joy of success in learning to love is not comparable to the past.

~ At the same time, I think low-level happiness is essential, and that’s why I’m keen to see the shadow. {\i1 \cH30D3F4}

Love

Wisdom is one of humanity ’ s greatest gifts, and the pursuit of love is often left behind in the pursuit of knowledge. That is the conclusion I recently found. I can give you this hypothesis: the inability to give and accept the wisdom of love can lead to mental and moral breakdown, neurosis and even mental illness. And I would like to say that focusing only on the mind itself, so as to exclude interpersonal relationships and thus create closed self-centres, can only lead to violence and suffering.

One of the things that puzzled Charlie most was love, which was getting higher and higher, but he couldn’t change in the face of love, which he discovered had nothing to do with IQ.

There were two women around Charlie in the novel. Charlie and his neighbor Fay were pure, passionate and careless and seemed happy and happy, but Fay left me when he found out that Charlie was stupid. And it’s much more complex with Professor Alice, and it’s also made him discover his psychological problems, discovering that he does not have the ability to love and be loved, that true love is different from simple passions, that Charlie and Alice have deeper attachments and are more willing to sacrifice for each other, that Alice has been left behind after Charlie’s stupidity, and that what matters most after Charlie’s memory. The difference between passion and love is explained in depth by the contrast between the two.

Alice came to the door again but I said go away and I won’t see you. She cried and I cried, but I didn’t let her in because I didn’t want her to laugh at me. I told her I didn’t like her and I wasn’t smart. That’s not true. I still love her and still want to be smart, but I have to say so to let her go. Mrs. Mooney told me Alice brought more money to take care of me and pay the rent. I don’t want me to have to find work.

I did a stupid thing today, and I forgot I was not in Miss Giannian’s adult center class. I went in and sat in the old seat behind the classroom and she looked weird when she saw me and asked Charlie where you were. So I said Miss Haro Ginian, I’m ready for class today just because I lost the books we used. She started crying and ran out of the classroom. Everyone looked at me and I found out that a lot of people weren’t in my class. …that’s why I’m out of here forever to Warren House. I don’t want to do this. I don’t want Miss Giannian to feel sorry for me. I know everyone in the bakery is sorry for me, but I don’t want that.

It’s really hard.

The meaning of life

I came into this world to understand things, to meet things that are interesting. If I wish, my life will be a success. Wang Xiao Bo

Once again, the diary is misspelled, and fate cruelly deprives him of the bright life and good memories he cherishes.

Although Charlie’s ending was not so good, and the process of collapse was full of pain, struggle and despair, he did not regret having performed an intellectual upgrading operation, learning to love and be loved, to reconcile with himself in the past, to know himself better, to feel the bitterness of life, and to understand many things, even if they eventually disappeared. Like our lives are full of meaning, even if one day we die to dust.

Find out what I’m meant to be, not only to know the past, but also to know what the future may be, not only where I come from, but where I’m going. Although we know that waiting at the end of the maze is death. I now believe that the path I chose in the maze made me now. I am not just a thing, I am a way of being, a way of being, a way of knowing the path that I choose, and those that I have not embarked on can help me understand my own transformation.

Miss Giannian, if you have a chance to read this, please don’t feel sorry for me. I felt like you said I’d get a second chance in my life. Because I learned a lot about things that I didn’t even know existed in the world. I’m glad to see that even for a short time. I’m glad I found out everything about my family and me. As if I had no family before I thought about them and saw them, now I know that I have family and that I am as human as everyone else.

Although death cannot be avoided, we can put a bouquet of flowers in front of the Algignon grave, which proves that we have grown up meaningfully.
