Um. Satisfaction, happiness, and enjoyment.
My favorite show since I was a child is Animal World (exposure age). Every time I start broadcasting, I move my small bench and sit in front of the TV on time, showing the expression of a girl, listening to Zhao Zhongxiang slowly recite: In the distant East Africa, Serenge On the prairie...
A golden lion king appeared on the screen, staring into the distance imposingly in the wind, and the gray-blue elephants slowly crossed the vast ground, making a long
scream ...When it came to "Pulsation of the Earth", it was simply It is a high-end match for the animal world, an unparalleled gluttonous feast, and the lens extends to every corner of the earth, jungles, islands, snow-capped mountains, deserts, and grasslands. . .
It's not just beauty, it's so beautiful that you don't want to miss every frame.
It’s even more real, amazing, and tragic. It’s the kind of truth that you can’t see in any movie where people are the protagonist. In animal stories, there are no screenwriters and no acting skills. They are the truth itself, the best in the world. The original appearance.
In the world of animals, there is never a sense of insecurity at all. As long as you live for one day, you have to fight for the qualifications to survive, and never dare to relax a little. I have never seen an animal that will be inexplicably decadent. Even if it is hungry for a few days, exhausted, and dying, it will still accumulate its whole body strength at the moment of encountering a prey, and fight back in the Jedi. It will never be until the last moment. Give up lightly.
Just for a mouthful of water and a mouthful of food, one must fight with death and fight with fate, not to mention the fight for mating rights. It is absolutely tragic. Either you die or I die.
After seeing their situation, you will feel that the little bit of hard work and the little pressure we endure for work and love is really as light as a feather, and it is simply not worth mentioning.
The scrawny female lion will leave all the food she has hunted hard for her children. In order to protect the little lion, she fights alone with a few strong large male lions, bloodstained all over her body, and the desperate brutal force finally pushes her back.
The emperor penguin, in order to warm the newborn penguin, can stand in the wind and snow in Antarctica for four months without eating, drinking or moving, and can only breathe a sigh of relief until the spouse has traveled thousands of kilometers of ice and snow to find food. Collapsed to the ground.
Sandgrouse, in the hot desert with a high temperature of more than 60 degrees, flies for 200 kilometers every day to fetch water for the chickens. They are surrounded by powerful enemies. They may be killed at any time and can never return home. But they do it every day and never shrink back.
This terrible perseverance erupted from instinctive love is really inferior to people.
But this kind of love does not require any return at all. There is no attempt to control the child, nor the dependence and expectation of raising children to prevent old age. Although he did not hesitate to give his life to protect the cub, when the little beast grows up and can survive, the parents will resolutely let go and leave.
It was often suddenly one day when the little beast woke up from a dream, and the parents who protected it at all times have disappeared. There is no farewell, no reluctance, no news from now on, and the rest of his life will not see each other. Only half the size of the little beast was left alone facing the boundless cruel world, life and death uncertain, and from then on could only rely on himself to survive and start a new cycle.
"Out of Africa" talked about animals, the actor once said:
"What animals do is wholeheartedly, everything is like the first time, hunting, working, courtship, only humans do the worst, only humans I’ll get bored.”
Humanity as a whole, perhaps the most powerful ethnic group, has climbed to the top of the food chain and is the absolute hegemon of the earth. However, when viewed individually, it is definitely the most useless animal. , And even less affectionate, selfish and selfish.
Regardless of physical strength or willpower, human beings have been severely degraded, and they have completely lost their primitive wildness and ability to survive independently. In the natural world, I am afraid that they are all unsurvivable scumbags.
But how did humans get to this point?
Why are we so strong and so weak?
In our unique brain, what is it that makes everything change qualitatively?
It is fantasy.
Humans are the only animals that can imagine.
In our fantasy, we derive various concepts, such as religion, country, nation, company, such as communism, existentialism, materialism, idealism... These concepts bring together a group of people and make another group of people hostile to each other. We Believe in this today, and think that it makes sense tomorrow. If we pursue this doctrine today, we will have that dream tomorrow. Our minds are often at war between heaven and man, and our desires are all contradictory.
We don’t know what we want, and we don’t know what is the best choice.
Animals, who don't understand fantasy or concepts, live only in the present and focus only on the present. Their desires are simple, fierce, direct, and have no self-contradictory elements, and there is no entanglement and hesitation. They let their instincts act.
Human weakness is due to fantasy.
But the strength of mankind is also due to fantasy.
Mankind is assembled under these powerful fantasy forces to form global cooperation and division of labor. Millions of people work under the same concept. This terrible force swept through at a faster rate than the locust plague and completely changed In the face of the world, the wild and primitive world has become a delicate cage called a city. As a result, we have become more comfortable and richer, but we have also lost the most precious wildness, vitality, and freedom.
Not only that, this cage not only takes away the primitive instincts of human beings, but also destroys the nature of animals.
For example, few people know that pigs are actually brave, intelligent, and very clean animals. Wild boars are very capable of governing their own territory. They will strictly separate the places of eating and excretion, and will attack the invaders bravely. However, when pigs were captured, castrated, and kept in captivity by humans, they became what we see now, lazy, dirty, stupid, smelly, full of food all day long, and death is imminent.
Another example is seals, which are very kind animals. If it sees someone freezing on the ice, it will crawl over and use its body temperature to save humans. The hunter takes advantage of the goodness of the seal, and when it gets closer, he will kill it with a stick, eat its flesh and sleep its skin, every time they can succeed.
Also, in ancient times, elephants had curly and beautiful tusks similar to mammoths, but nowadays, elephants with tusks are rarely seen. It is because humans love ivory so much that they must be killed. Elephants can get ivory, and elephants were almost slaughtered.
Therefore, in order to avoid human killing, many elephants reluctantly broke themselves when their teeth were slightly longer, in order to save their lives. Similarly, many beautiful reindeer will destroy their horns to avoid humans' paranoid love for antler.
In the face of the cruelty of human beings, Li Yu, a literati in the late Ming Dynasty, once wrote: "
Sadly, human beings, after such a frenzied occupation and transformation of the world, the world has not become more tender and beautiful, and the nature of the world has never changed after exhausting and delicate packaging.
I remembered a conversation by Haruki Murakami in "South of the Border, West of the Sun":
"This is like a desert. We can only adapt to the desert. By the way, when I was in elementary school, I saw the movie "The Desert Alive" by Walt Disney. ? "
" read. "I said.
"One thing, this world is the same thing as that. It rains and flowers bloom, but they don’t die. Insects are eaten by lizards, and lizards are eaten by birds, but they all die. After death, they become dry shells. This generation is dead. The next generation will take its place, the law of iron. There are
many ways to live, and there are so many ways to die. It’s not a big deal. The only thing left is the desert, and the only one that really lives is the desert."
Looking at the flying bird that drags its slender tail feathers and flies across the blue sky lightly, even more stunning than a rainbow. . .
That sturdy, slender snow leopard, ascending to the top of the mountains, is more handsome and majestic than the gods. . .
That huge, silent, blue whale drifting on the deepest seabed, more mysterious than the ancient behemoth. . .
Of course, there are intelligent humans who think they are the primates of all things.
Whether it’s conscientious or conscientious, whether it’s a way of doing things,
whether it’s a way of doing things or doing something wrong,
hundreds of millions of flesh and blood, their beauty, their power, their will, their desires, and finally, they are often buried in the dust. , Mixed into one body, turned into the fertilizer of the earth, and the only thing that continues to grow is the earth itself.
But life must be too beautiful. I think.
Therefore, even though it is destined to be lost, the creatures desperately want to extend it a little bit and extend it a little bit at the moment when life is possessed. Even if you only live for an extra second, it's okay. Love one more second, it's okay.
"But they are going to disappear one after another, I think.
Some of them disappear like being cut off, and
some take some time to fade out." The
only thing left is the desert.
Only the desert is really alive.
