The thinking brought by RUDY-the game of benefit and persistence

After watching this film, I thought about the first episode of Harvard Justice's public class. There are two categories of theories about the generation of morality: the theory of utilitarian maximization and the theory of absolute morality.
This is reflected in the fact that when you can choose between saving 1 person and saving 5 people, most people choose to save 5 people. But when the situation changes, now you can choose to kill 1 person and save the other 5 people, or you can choose not to kill this 1 person and let the 5 people die. Is it more noble to choose to kill 1 to save 5, or to stick to the principle of not killing?

The former is called utilitarian moralism, and the latter is called absolute moralism.

This film brought me the same thinking.
Is it more meaningful to spend nearly 10 years (although the protagonist in the film does not seem to be old...so I mistakenly think that he is just applying every month) to pursue 27 seconds of brilliance, or to give full play to his energy In your own strengths, creating a piece of your own sky makes more sense?
Although the film is adapted from real events, the story behind the film is the story I would like to know more. Life can't come to an abrupt cessation at the climax like a movie. We who have climbed to the top want to know where the next step is going.

So, I think there is a watershed between utilitarianism and liberalism. Is it to let oneself live more freely, or to let one's abilities give full play to maximize the benefits. Say I'm greedy, or cowardly. I think I want to try and achieve a certain height. It may also be afraid, so I dare not make a decision.

So, if it was me, how would I choose? Will you spend thousands of times your time and energy to obtain meager benefits because of what you like? I think I am rational in this regard. In other words, it's from the city. I have dreams, but now I will not try my best to fight for it. I will probably keep it in my heart, and then secretly seek opportunities. Strive for something small in one day. And I will be very happy because of it.

Just like in the movie, Rudy always said, I want to prove, I want to prove. Who is the proof for? Is the opinion of others important? Um. However, I think it is more important to surpass yourself.
It's arrogant or cowardly.

Finally, returning to the topic, life is a very complicated chess game. There are often no tactics and strategies from one end to the other. Regardless of whether benefit is the most important thing or stick to the end, it is a process to the next step. As long as he can endure everything in the middle, it's not always certain who laughs at the end.
