Kindness is better than heaven

Russell once said that human kindness is actually a manifestation of vanity from a certain perspective. Perhaps this is because some people try to get self-satisfaction when they do good. This type of person thinks that kindness is a social norm and is the same feeling of most people. People think that a person is worthy of being kind, so they do kindness. . And for those who are not recognized by the majority, they may not do the same good deeds. This is the same as the "Tao De Jing", "Everyone knows that beauty is beautiful, but that is evil. Everyone knows that good is good, but that is not good." There is a difference in the same way.
There is also a kind of people who truly claim to be good. They have their own rules in their hearts. They neither blindly follow nor go beyond the rules. They are based on the true inherent benevolence under the rules of social recognition. That kind of good has A natural quality, so that anyone who needs good nourishment can be influenced by it invisible.
Sophie is such a person, her kindness is truly natural, whether it is for the scarecrow that happened by chance, the puppy that happened on the road, the little fire demon who was cursed by others, or the evil devil who hurt Hal but was finally desolate. , She can also be consistent like that, her kindness makes people forget the darkness, it is a kind of light that can penetrate the deep darkness. She helped the Scarecrow unintentionally, but the Scarecrow spotted Sophie, helped Sophie find a habitat, encouraged her during the ordeal, and finally fell in love with Sophie when the spell disappeared. She helped the puppy who happened upon her. The puppy saw her right, followed her, and let her see the light in her heart when she was desperate. There is also the Volde Devil who hurt Sophie’s beloved Hal, but when she lost her mana, Sophie took her back to the castle and treated her like a family member, even though the Devil almost destroyed Hal’s Heart, Sophie still treats her kindly as usual, this kind of kindness is really touching and benefiting a lot. There is also the little boy in the castle. He was so domineering when he first appeared. In the end, he thought Sophie was going to leave, so he held Sophie and acted like a baby. Seeing this, you have to be moved and think about what makes Sophie so people. Nostalgia? The biggest reason is her kindness, that kindness that is unpretentious and natural.

It's a rare and good film, and I hope Sophie's kindness can illuminate more people.
