An unexamined life is not worth living

The truth of the world is limited, just like diamonds scattered everywhere, if you can pick one more, you are lucky.

A black-and-white film from the 1960s, which has been passed down to this day, still shines: it is not easy to be born as a human being, but if you turn a blind eye to the suffering of those around you, and turn a deaf ear to the most basic right and wrong, then the so-called belief or civilization , are just empty talk, such a life is no different from the puppet of the walking dead.

This film accurately illustrates Socrates' saying, an unexamined life is not worth living, because the miserable fate of others today is a reflection of yourself tomorrow.

  • Hanshiro Tsugumo: The greatest delicacies taste of nothing when one dines alone.

  • Kageyu Saito: The ronin from Hiroshima, Hanshiro Tsugumo, committed hara kiri. All our own men died of illness. The house of Iyi has no retainers who could be felled or wounded by some half-starved ronin.
