But what separates humans from other animals is that humans are constantly struggling to combat their own selfish nature. Humans have produced civilization and developed morality. Humans are no longer just selfish animals, but intelligent creatures with civilization and morality. This is the greatness of human beings.
Yes, life often comes at the expense of other lives, but that is for survival, not for pleasure. As a highly intelligent creature, human beings should understand the importance of maintaining ecological balance. The rupture of the food chain leads to ecological imbalance, and ultimately disasters will come to themselves.
Some people may think that this movie is just sloppy and self-deceiving, since there are so many fish to eat, why can't dolphins eat it?
The development of human beings to this day is still far from being free from the shackles of animal nature, full of selfish desires and greed, but it cannot be denied that some people have made efforts with the progress of human civilization. Although we cannot change everything, a little change is progress.
To put it bluntly: We can't completely get rid of selfish desires, but for the ecological balance of nature and the sustainable development of mankind, we can do a little bit, love nature a little bit, and do a little bit. This is worthy of affirmation.
If you think this is hypocrisy, maybe we just call it different, I call it "partial goodness". Because we are currently unable to achieve fraternity and "total goodness" for our own survival, but this does not justify willfulness and thorough animality. "Partial goodness" is also goodness. Trying to live in harmony with nature wherever possible is to help both nature and oneself.
As a documentary, this film has achieved a rational and well-documented, 9 points of encouragement.
