Diamonds and Charcoal

British director Roger Mitchell had a particularly interesting film in 2004, called "Enduring love", adapted from a best-selling novel. Professor joe in the film is a person who pays attention to rational basis in everything. , he has a set of theories, which is that all human emotions, including love and family, and all the so-called moral sentiments, are given to them subjectively by human beings.

This is of course cruel. For most people, instead of going to this extreme, it is better to go to the other extreme: to think that all animals and plants are as emotional as humans and even know what love is better than humans. However, the self-righteous scientific research of human beings does not allow us to think so. In comparison, I have a strong interest in Professor joe's opinion. I would like to extend this point of view: it is absolutely necessary to recognize the animal instinct of human beings, so it is also necessary to recognize the material nature of human beings. What I mean is that the biggest difference between human beings and animals, plants, soil, air, tables, benches, and other substances lies in the characteristics of people as an individual. The content ratio of various elements is related.

It seems that the practice of judging personality characteristics based on a person's blood type has been recognized by many people, so we can think about it, the distinction between blood types originates from the phenomenon of red blood cell agglomeration, which is actually a material difference in essence. , red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, plasma concentrations, I don't know exactly what it is, but one point can be temporarily concluded that these different compositions of blood flow in our body, affecting (not to mention determining) the way we look at problems. , affects our temperament.
Or to give another example, what determines a person's IQ? brain. So why are there stupid brains and smart brains, the question should be the same as why there is such a big difference between diamonds and charcoal.

    The story is as powerful and dazzling as the sun, and the director's flaws are as numerous as stars... "But as soon as the sun comes out, the stars disappear."
