Kobayashi Masaki's "Belly Cut" ☑ I finished watching it after a lot of hard work

Wrote my thoughts, it belongs to the diary, but welcome to watch the discussion

In order to save the lives of his seriously ill wife and children, is it wrong for Qian Qianyan to beg for a daughter by lying by claiming that he would use the ground to cut his abdomen to defraud money? In order to prevent his family from being constantly harassed and extorted by the ronin, is it wrong for the family elder to force a woman to cut her belly? Following the spirit of Bushido, was it wrong for Hikakuro Sazakigata, who asked him to cut off his head after he had to cut off his belly even if he begged a woman with a bamboo sword? Is it wrong for a retainer who hides at home to protect his reputation and does not dare to be discovered that his hair has been chopped off...

"Cut the Belly" was originally intended to ridicule the false and superficial Bushido spirit of the Japanese right-wingers. But after reading this story of begging a girl and being an old man, it fits our era. Are we now being swayed by the so-called "convenient judgment"?

The Chongqing bus retrograde incident, from the initial rumor of the female driver on the Internet, to the illegal driving of the bus driver, and finally to the fact that there are passengers disturbing the bus driver. How many people have gone from abusing female drivers to bus drivers?

When we attack the so-called facts and truths with the natural sense of justice, the mistakes of this simple "moral high ground" only seem to be more and more frequent. And that hidden place that is ignored by us is not the standard by which we can truly judge a person. Isn't the destructive power of "arrogance in the moral high ground" one of the most powerful weapons in the world? No matter how good the social spirit is, when the form is on the surface, it will only become distorted.

Morality! How many crimes are prevalent in your name (Mrs. Roland's original version of Liberty) "socialization of morals", at this level we really can't do much. But don't judge a person lightly before understanding their difficulties, that's what we can do and are losing.

(I hope someone reads it and has to say that I am really suitable for writing running accounts)
