Respect life, care for life, just because we have love

"One day, on the road, you met a creature that we are familiar with, and it died on the road. At that time, I thought it was very strange, why do you feel sad, human beings really have time to take care of other people's affairs, However, this is also the greatest advantage of human beings, and it is an amazing thing to have spare energy to care for other creatures!" -
When Migi first saw this sentence, she was quite touched and wanted to write something. It can probably be considered as what I thought and felt after watching "Parasitic Beast".

What Xiaoyou said obviously refers to Xinyi's experience. He once rescued a dying puppy, took it away from the noisy street, and slept peacefully in his arms. If you don't mention what happened after that, the new one's behavior is obviously the good side of human nature - having respect and love for other beings.
Speaking of which, I have encountered a lot of dying animals on the road, and I can feel this kind of feeling relatively well. Most are sparrows, usually unable to fly, but desperately struggling to survive, it is impossible not to be surprised by their tenacious vitality. I once saw a sparrow on the concrete floor in front of the building that seemed to have been run over by a wheel. It was completely paralyzed on the ground and seemed to have no signs of life, but when I walked over to check it, I heard an almost inaudible faint sound. tweet. Perhaps it was these few tweets that touched my pity and prompted me to bring it home when it was dying. Even though he knew it wouldn't help him by doing so, he couldn't help but hope it survived. And the results speak for themselves, and I ended up burying its body with my mom in a small nearby garden.

Even more impressive is a tit that I met when I was in elementary school. That was one evening while shopping, my mother and I came across a tit that couldn't fly due to hunger on the side of the road. At that time, this bird with black and blue feathers and a body slightly smaller than a magpie was being held by an old man, and it seemed to be constantly pecking at its claws. When I walked in, I found that it was trying to use its mouth to remove half of the red rope tied to its legs. Maybe it was the lucky one who was caught and escaped, I guess, after all, the red rope is the trace left by human beings.
Seeing that I was attracted, the old man smiled and said to me: This little guy is too hungry, if you get him something to eat, maybe he can go with you. Hearing this, I immediately became interested, and hurried to buy biscuits to feed it. Seeing that the little tits are satisfied, my heart is filled with unspeakable and wonderful emotions. After getting the consent of my grandfather, I took it home with me.
When I got home, the little tits stayed on the balcony of my house. Dad cut off the red rope tied to its legs, and got a water basin and a food box to put at its feet. We all agreed that this tit belonged to nature and should have lived in the wild. Moreover, it still has the ability to fly, and it is alive and kicking after recovering its vitality. Therefore, early the next morning, I opened the window of the balcony, carried it to the window, and watched the little tit flutter its wings and disappear into the canopy of the lush locust tree outside the building.
This should have ended here, but an unexpected thing happened - the third morning, the little tit came back! When we heard the familiar call outside the door and opened the door suspiciously, we were surprised to see a small tit standing on the eaves of the door and chirping happily. I could hardly believe my eyes if it hadn't been for the sound of it stinging my eardrums. But it did come to the door by itself, proudly proclaiming its existence. I don't think I'll ever forget this miraculous scene for the rest of my life.
I immediately brought out a small bowl containing food and water, and squatted at the entrance of the stairs to watch it nibble. However, this time it didn't stop much, and it didn't stay in the corridor for a long time before flying away from the open window. Only two small bowls remained, indicating what had just happened.

Whenever I think about it, I can't help but be amazed and grateful. Surprised by the peculiar behavior of tits, and grateful to be able to meet such a lucky event in this life.
Even if it is impossible to know the feelings of other creatures, even if the instinct of creatures is to survive and continue offspring, this does not affect the creatures considered by humans as inferior to do something beyond the imagination of human beings themselves.
I am fortunate that I was born as a human being, able to observe and appreciate the world from a human perspective, to pay attention to and save other lives from a human attitude, and to appreciate the beauty of love and life with human wisdom.

How terrible the world would be if there was only reason and no emotion, "Parasite" tells us.
If everyone only thinks about themselves and disregards the rights of others to live, how indifferent the world will be, "Parasitic Beast" tells us.
However, even though the rampage of parasitic beasts is terrifying, as long as there are human beings, the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature will always be preserved. Even Tamiya Ryoko and Xiaoyou, who are parasitic beasts, finally have almost human feelings after being infected by the people around them.
Sincerity, kindness, and virtue are the most beautiful qualities that human beings have, and family, friendship, and love are the most common feelings that human beings have. Parasitic Beast interprets these qualities and feelings, which subtly influenced my thinking about human nature.
In fact, the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature is not an unattainable quality. Know how to care for others, respect others, understand others more and complain less; have respect for nature, do not destroy the environment around you at will, and do not trample the lives around you at will. The gentle ocean formed by bit by bit of kindness will eventually spread to the depths of everyone's heart.

Respect life, care for life, just because we have love. This precious feeling is the origin, connecting people with people, people with thousands of creatures in the world, people and nature, and expanding into a vibrant and colorful world.
As human beings, we should remember that this world is not only our own existence, not only human beings. We live together with billions of creatures on this planet where the environment is still livable. Respecting and caring for them is not only a manifestation of the beauty of human nature, but also to protect human beings themselves.
