人过于执迷于工作和竞争是不是好事 The movie The Shawshank Redemption is well renowned to be a story about a misjudged convict escaping his doomed destiny with his will and wisdom. But at the beginning of this story was a betrayed husband who devoted too much to his work and neglected the feeling of his beloved wife. I interpreted the movie this way because I dont think all the similar tragedies in lives around us are all that necessary. Sometimes we just need to draw a circle around us, beyond which we never make one more step forward. This is a circle for our demands and a circle for our desires; we dont ask too much out of others and ourselves. Say, the pursuit of success in work and competition is an understandable and respectable character, but also only within the circle marked by love, health and the benefit of others. One step forward, and there would be tragedies and even disasters. Each year the International Olympic Committee has to make tremendous efforts to prevent the use of forbidden drugs among athletes. It seems like a curse suspending over the games. Almost each year, there are still discoveries of these drugs in the games or suspicious occasions. Actually fairness and justice is not the only matter the committee is taking into account here. It has long been proved the nerve irritation drugs will cause long-term reliance of the human body. Once taking these pills, there can be potential danger of neurasthenia and heart diseases. The possible result be exposed publicly, some athletes are still addicted, more to the winning profile of their nations than to these drugs. It seems to me that this crazy pursuit for success in games has in effect turned against the spirit of Olympic Games. The harm to athletes bodies is evidently witnessed here in drugs; a more immeasurable number exists in retired athletes who suffer from lifetime pains or malfunctions in their spines and joints. The distressing reality is that the lines on the circle, between health and winning, between justice and desire, all become so vague and fragile. |
