In the long river of history, only truth and love can last forever.

I just finished watching the movie "Gandhi Biography" today. It is a movie that is far from reality and very close to the soul. Now I suddenly feel that a person can have a broad mind, a peaceful mind, and a firm will at the same time. It's just that few people can do it. There may be many people who have wisdom. When this wisdom is combined with the purity of the heart, that kind of spotless purity, can we keep ourselves for a long time? If we admit the existence of popular morality, we generally know what is right and what is wrong, but the weakness of human nature tells us that most human beings can't. There may not always be heinous mistakes in life, and we should be lucky for them, but there are always small evils. When all the small misfortunes, small injustices, and small unwillingness are intertwined, most people will cross that ditch. It seems that it is still difficult for all living beings to understand these people. I can't understand them, but I respect them, just like I can't do it, but at least with the most honest reverence, so we are called people. I sometimes learn to appreciate these lovely weaknesses like Lin Yutang, for which we are called human weaknesses, the weaknesses that add spice and flavor to our lives. But that kind of respectful orientation feels like a logical guide to this philosophy of peaceful observation of life. Just like ordinary trivial things are parallel straight lines, high and high style, low and low interest, it is enough to observe life with an ordinary heart. But when you carefully analyze these characters, it is different. He is a sum that runs through history and region, and is the slope of the previous line at different times and places. They never care about or disdain to express human beings. He just wants to let People yearn for it, people seem to have come to an ideal realm of human nature, and they are in awe.
"In the long river of history, only truth and love can last forever." It feels a little too big at first, but is it really too big? Are these thoughts at least once in our hearts? Because of a meaningful movie or an article under the night light, an intoxicating beauty or an inexplicable mood. Do we occasionally have some childlike innocence in our hearts? Even for a second of that spotless innocence? No one's life can be described in a movie or summed up in a biography, but Gandhi's life was the life of a great man, and it seemed to me like a child. You see, he is pure and persistent because of his purest creed, and like a game, he regards repeated prison disasters as the kindness of the British government. During the civil war, he threatened him with hunger strikes like a child because of the love of the people. , I can't help but say that this little old man's approach is really a little pissed off, but it is effective and makes people feel extremely cute.
But things are not only like this, such a simple mind must be combined with wisdom to produce great effects. A scene in this movie is very shocking. It is said that when India first became independent, due to the religious conflict between Muslims and Hindus, a fierce civil war occurred. The situation was once uncontrollable. Gandhi went on a hunger strike to arouse people's understanding and love. Heart. A man who believed in Hinduism came to his hunger strike bed in a very excited mood, saying that he was a man destined to hell, saying that he killed a Muslim baby by himself, grabbed the baby's head and slammed it against the wall. took him. Gandhi asked why. He replied that because his only son was killed by a Muslim, his child was just waist-high. Gandhi said, "I have a way to save you from going to hell, and that is to adopt a Muslim child of deceased parents, and he must be a boy, and he must be waist-length, and love him as an only son. , and raised him to be a Muslim. That way he won't have to go to hell." The man burst into tears and knelt before Gandhi's couch.
If we all live by the "eye for an eye" brand of justice, the whole world will be blind. It is true, the Bible says "Love your enemies", but from ancient times to the present, those who do it in their hearts But there is almost none, needless to say, it is rare to even think about it. How human beings use love to replace hate, obviously this kind of understanding has gone beyond the scope of human feelings, but it is the best way for people to eliminate hatred. This practice can only be described by the word "brilliant" for ordinary people like me. If it weren't for this wit with humor, people wouldn't have been so positively moved by these people, and they wouldn't have made them great.
The reality is that there is no way for ordinary people like me to achieve such fraternity. I don't have such a pure and pure heart, nor such a humorous and far-reaching wisdom, but at least I was touched by this movie, at least temporarily returned to a child's pure state of mind, and this article records it as a proof, it is enough~
