the lonely penguin

After watching "Encounters at the End of the World", I am very emotional, and I am very emotional about why the Western nations are so powerful - that is their always all the adventurous spirit that is not afraid of sacrifice. Many people with various specialties, far away from home, come to Antarctica, where the natural conditions are extremely harsh, and engage in various jobs. They are mainly scientists, and there are various people who are engaged in non-intellectual jobs in our opinion. . And this spirit is reflected and praised by many Western films.
And the most touching scene in the movie is the lone penguin heading towards the mountains. He didn't set out towards the sea like ordinary penguins, towards the habitat, he rushed towards the unknown mountains without hesitation.
He went his own way, like a pioneer among human beings, setting out towards the unknown and towards death. Experts who study the penguin say that even if he is artificially brought back to his habitat, he will still set off towards the mountains.
It turns out that this spirit also exists in penguins! However, this kind of spirit is rarely seen in Chinese people. This is the saddest thing.
A nation that lacks the spirit of adventure and exploration cannot be strong. It is many individuals with the spirit of exploration, and even their deaths, that bring the material civilization and spiritual civilization of human beings in the present space.
If one day, I am also faced with the choice of the penguin, will I turn to the unknown mountains and live out a thrilling and tragic song?
I do not know. . .

    Stefan Pashov: There is a beautiful saying by an American philosopher, Alan Watts. He used to say that through our eyes the universe is perceiving itself, and through our ears the universe is listening to its cosmic harmonies. And we are the witness to which the universe becomes conscious of its glory, of its magnificence.
