I have been sticking to vegetarianism recently. The fuse is very simple, some words and some pictures, I began to firmly believe it. Animals are just as greedy for life and fear of death as human beings. In the case of unnatural death, they must accept great pain before they can be brought to our table. They will have tears, pain, screams, and resentment. Only human beings can hide their ears and steal the bells because they do not feel the suffering of not seeing them with their own eyes and still taste them with joy and grace, and even study how to make them more enjoyable for our taste buds. Aunt Chun in "Borrowed Things" is the only villain in the film. He is not a bad person in the true sense. She is the only person who is realistic enough. She is the real us. The disrespect of life. Whether it's for Xiang or Arrietty's mother, does the shot of putting mother in a small bottle remind us of how we, once and now, treat other little lives.
Hayao Miyazaki's films always express people's deep love and dependence on nature, and criticize the inhumanity of modern society. The world of villains is ubiquitous in our lives. Perhaps it is all kinds of animals that are driven to hide in narrow forests by humans and are on the verge of extinction. Hayao Miyazaki endows them with an equal attitude to humans. There will also be love and hatred between human beings, the same heartache, panic and anger and helplessness when their homes are destroyed, but they have always struggled to survive. And the saddest thing for human beings is to think that this scientific revolution, which declares war on nature, will surely win, is to push themselves to a dead end and still get lost.
Adhering to a vegetarian diet and a natural and simple attitude towards life is the only persistence that I can do as a child.
