Justice, maybe a neutral word

I forgot which movie I saw a similar plot, a soldier who likes to kill, said complacently: "In peacetime, if you like to kill, then the people will spurn you, put you in prison, and put you in prison. You are pushed to the guillotine. But in war, if you like to kill and you are good at killing, the people will call you a hero.” The meaning of this sentence may mean that all principles are ethical and in extreme situations , and it all vanished.
It seems that everyone has their own justice, and it seems that everyone is upholding their own justice. Even in order to carry out their own justice, they will give themselves a reason for sounding, so there is a religion. Religion allows people to implement love and truth while supporting a just war, so as an outsider, I always think that religion is an ambiguous thing.
Maybe no one in this world is evil, the so-called evil is different justice. All the people or things that take my life and my freedom are evil, but from the other side, maybe because I am evil, they want to implement justice and destroy me. So the more I thought about it, the more disturbed it became, and then I felt disgusted by the teaching of the great truth.
For the three forces in the film, they are all implementing their own justice. Muslims want freedom for their fellow citizens and their beliefs, so they plant nuclear bombs and threaten the government. His justice lies in that his purpose is not to destroy his compatriots, but to use it as a threat to force the government to submit. That is to say, if the nuclear bomb is detonated, in his heart, it seems that there will be no guilt at all, because this is The government's fault, if the government complied with his demands, the sacrifice could have been avoided. Female detective, humanitarian, her justice lies in using legitimate means to obtain relevant information, not abusing or extorting confessions. So when the last Muslim children were about to die, she roared: "Let the nuclear bomb detonate, they are just children, they are innocent." It can be seen how much people care about the emotions and gains and losses in front of them, but it did not happen, people There seems to be the word "lucky" in his heart. Black man, he is a tyrant, he has no limits, he can do whatever he can, his methods are the most cruel and dehumanizing, but they are the most effective. Obviously, in the face of his behavior, it seems that you will be indignant, but after thinking about it, you have to be convinced that he is a complete utilitarian, but the final result proves that he is exactly right.
Human life is the most tenacious and the most fragile. Because once human life is involved, many principles will collapse. The weak get more moral sympathy, and the dead to some extent become the moral high ground, everyone is dead, what else can you say? Facing death, the living may have already lost their right to speak.
Perhaps what the film advocates is free thinking and independent thinking. The final ending of the movie seems to be very obvious, but it has not been broken, and it seems to give people a little time to think. The main contradiction in the film is: to take extreme measures in the face of a possible problem. In response to this, several figures took turns appearing, constantly pretending to be cowardly, admitting cowardice, doubting and believing. In the final analysis, the initiative rests with Muslims. His terrorism, the terrorism committed by blacks against him, and the humanism of female detectives can make me feel how humble a person's power is and how great a system's power is. The humbleness of personal power prevents a disaffected person from using force against the strong, so he can only do violence to the weak, and the weak, perhaps wielding a butcher's knife at the weaker. Faced with this problem, what is the solution? In this film, we can see the hypocrisy and loopholes in the legal system. If we want to go to the legal level, the nuclear bomb may have exploded long ago, and the extraordinary measures will allow terrorists to occupy the place. Moral commanding heights, he became a martyr, all the tortures became his experience before ascending to heaven, in order to win a better future in heaven. All extremists seem to have a kind of tragic plot, through their own suffering experience to obtain spiritual sublimation and purification, which means bliss to them.
This extreme scenario makes all normal people in ordinary life become abnormal. This is the impact of the system on people. Different people implement different justice, which will lead to chaos in the world, and if everyone implements the same evil, the world may become orderly, and whether it is good or not seems to be just a feeling in the heart. In the film, when the black wife talks about ordinary people, she narrates her own painful experience. An ordinary person can instantly change into a demon, and it seems difficult to explain the reason for a while. That is the category of social psychology.
As for human beings, although people are often happy and full of hope, many times, they make me feel desperate. At this time, I can only have the ability to think independently, and live alone in a corner of the remote world.

    Regarding Machiavellianism, even the discussion itself seems cruel

  • Rickey 2022-03-26 09:01:06

    Thoughts and discussions can only occur in a peaceful and prosperous world, it is estimated that thousands of such children have died. There is no justice and controversy, only to destroy the enemy, or to preserve oneself.
