Outsider-you can't judge my soul.
The front of the story describes that the hero, as a wage earner, received a telegram of his mother's death one day and went to a nursing home to arrange a funeral for her.
The hero, Musso, described in detail in the book, behaves differently. He didn't explicitly ask to see his mother for the last time, and he didn't cry when she was buried. He drank coffee and milk during the wake. A lot of space describes the uneasiness caused by the hot weather. When I went back to work the next day, I had a good time with a woman. It is precisely because of this departure from secular conventions that it has laid the groundwork for the follow-up story.
Because he wrote a letter for his neighbor, he formed a hatred with Arabs. One day I went to the seaside with several neighbors and had a conflict with Arabs. The conflict was resolved once, but he went back to the beach again and met the Arabs. Because the sun was too hot, he was upset and killed them.
During the trial, prosecutors and prison chaplain tried to influence him, but he had his own cognition of abandoning secular values. Later, in the trial, prosecutors agreed that he "killed his mother mentally because of his indifference", and they tried to dig out his attitude towards his mother, which confirmed the credibility of his murder.
In prison, he thought of the scene of escape and the past, waiting for his known death sentence in the long prison years.
The author tries to describe a character who is different from secular values, and his way of doing things is also different from the public. He is straightforward and thinks that if two people have nothing in common, then under his ability, a nursing home is a good choice.
He chose to accept things calmly, such as the death of his mother. He chose to return to life after dealing with life affairs and was not affected. He is willing to help his friends and meet his needs; His mood has also frankly changed because of the environment. He believes that everything will return to zero after death. He finally did something he didn't expect, and he didn't even realize it when it happened. However, it is precisely because their ideas and values are not mainstream that they are sent to the guillotine.
I think what this book wants to express is that in the public's thoughts and behaviors, people who choose different paths often suffer more doubts, doubts and even nowhere to live.
But fashion trends are not enough to examine a unique soul. Every individual in the world has his own soul's sustenance and direction. Maybe everyone needs to leave some space and don't judge blindly. A few do not represent wrong values and should not be classified as crimes. If you don't appreciate it, at least you realize the objectivity of minority values and lifestyles.
From the perspective of critical thinking, this is precisely a question of individuals challenging the majority. It didn't work, but most people tried. But under the soul, it is an objectivity, and it also warns people to do a deeper understanding at the cost.
What impressed me even more was that the prison priest asked Musso if he really believed that everything would go back to zero after death.
His answer is yes.
I think many times we accept or try to be accepted. There is a soul after death, and there will be an afterlife, because at the point where we are not satisfied with this world, we hope to have an exit, and this exit is the afterlife. We expect better. Leaving with such an idea will make people feel somewhat stable and peaceful.
But if we believe that everything is zero, what's the harm?
We will not hesitate, not shrink back, and strive to live this life without regret.
When we left, looking back, we were brave, worked hard all our lives and handed in an answer sheet.
At that moment, you have to leave carefree.
