Noble personality, rational charisma

"The tyrant in history may be invincible in the short term, but he will eventually fail. Think about it, it will always be like this." "I believe that when we need it most, he leads us away from madness. But he himself does not Know, the world does not know." The power of ideas is vividly reflected in this film. A British officer can order unarmed rallies of civilians, women and children, to shoot down in order to suppress what he considers untouchables. Muslims and Hindus will kill each other because of the fear of survival brought about by the difference of beliefs. The accumulation of hatred makes the killing spread endlessly. A father smashes the head of his teaching child against the wall for the death of his child. Holy Male Gandhi died at the gun of his most cherished people. The lethality of prejudice and belief differences is so terrifying. The greatness of Mahatma Gandhi, in my opinion, lies in his insight into faith. "A true believer will understand that the suffering of others is like his own. Respect all people and despise no one." It lies in the firmness of his words and deeds, and his charisma of tolerance and forgiveness. This charisma once allowed the notion of "non-violence, non-cooperation" to gain independence for India. But the humanitarian spirit in it is obviously not deeply conveyed. However, the frenzy persists and spreads sadly. Mahatma Gandhi's cognition is obviously closely related to his personal experience and his character, and cannot be empathized with by most people. His reason and forgiveness made the unique divine charm of that era, but it was sadly difficult to resolve people's fanatical emotions. The idea of ​​liberty and equality seems to me to go hand in hand with the will to the pursuit of peace. Violence will only cause hatred to perpetuate potential or even superficial disorder. This is the manifestation of evil in human nature. Out of self-interest, the most brutal and simple way is used to obtain the coercion of the freedom of others. Therefore, only by thoroughly making the concepts of freedom and equality deeply rooted in the hearts of the people can the tragedy caused by fanaticism not be repeated, no matter what kind of religious war or genocide will happen. However, there is still a long way to go to keep people away from madness. Hannah Arendt pondered the evil of banality, and Mahatma Gandhi showed us the glorious charm of forgiveness and tolerance.
