Do you feel that in our daily life, apart from domestic livestock, we can see fewer and fewer wild life forms.
I remember when I was a child, whenever I looked up at the sky in midsummer, there would be flocks of birds flying by, but now, although the sky is still blue, it has become more and more bare.
In contrast to our lives, it seems that there are more and more types of diseases, and new viruses always appear every few years.
Many people say that this is a disaster brought by wild animals, but really, we are their biggest disaster, but they have been responsible for our greed.
All of this is actually not the fault of wild animals, they are just constantly running for their own survival, and what we are suffering from is just our revenge for the greed of nature.
As a two-dimensional enthusiast, if there is any animation that can explain the principles of life well, it is probably "Parasitic Beast", a really thought-provoking classic.
However, because this anime has been included in the banned list due to bloody violence and other issues, the high rating of this anime can only increase slowly.
But this does not prevent many people from loving this anime. After all, when watching a work with a slightly problematic content, it is enough to make it out of the mud and not stain it, and sometimes some deeply portrayed bridges can be better Sobering.
The protagonist of the story, Izumi Shinichi, was originally just an ordinary student. His character seemed a little cowardly, and even the bugs on the table were enough to scare him.
However, the invasion of mysterious creatures changed all that...
A mysterious creature tried to invade Shinichi's head, but was stopped in time, but the snake-like life invaded his right arm.
After his right arm was invaded, he lost his right arm, and now his right arm is replaced by this parasite.
As for why parasitic beasts choose to invade the brain in the first place, after all, the human brain can be said to be the general control room. Only a successful brain invasion can really control this individual, otherwise it is just a life that resides on humans.
However, the parasitism didn't just end like this. Shinichi's life was slowly changing, and he could feel it from the details of his life. His mood would suddenly change, and the bugs he was afraid of would be able to deal with it calmly.
In fact, just like Brownian motion, every corner of Shinichi's body is constantly being invaded by the "little right".
However, it wasn't just Shinichi who was invaded. There were bizarre deaths all over the world. Shinichi knew that this was done by Xiaoyou's "companions" and felt that something should be done about it. He wanted to take the initiative. Stand up and point out the real image, or go to "research", but there is no doubt that Xiao You will not allow it.
And such self-sacrifice is absolutely worthless!
In Shinichi's eyes, Xiaoyou and his "partners" are nothing but man-eating monsters.
On the other hand, Xiaoyou is more rational, and they just want to survive. As Xiaoyou said, humans are the creatures closest to the devil.
In order to survive "happily" in this world, human beings have caused too many creatures to perish. To some extent, human beings are also indirectly perishing themselves, and each of us is not an accomplice!
Thinking about it carefully, isn't the relationship between Xiaoyou and Xinyi exactly the relationship between other beings and people, they and human beings are symbiotic.
But in fact, the logic has to be reversed. If Xinyi is dead, Xiaoyou will not be able to live. If other beings in nature die, how can humans live alone in an unbalanced nature?
Humans stand at the top of the food chain, so they seem to have more choices in many things, and they also have the right to speak on the moral high ground.
Animals and plants that humans like are ornamental pets, and they should survive. Those that humans don’t like or threaten are those that must die, or become food on the human table.
But in their eyes, I am afraid that humans are the biggest threat to their survival, but because humans are so much stronger than them, they can't change this fact.
Of course, it is impossible for human beings not to eat livestock and poultry, but wantonly destroying nature is the biggest mistake of human beings. There is only one way for human beings to survive safely, and that is to coexist with every living being in nature. There is no other way.
Our biggest mistake is nothing but understanding other living beings in terms of our own values.
Because no matter what kind of creature, they want to live well! It’s just that different individuals have different thinking patterns. Some may be opposed to people, while others want to see reality and want to integrate into human beings.
I don’t know how long it will take to change. Anything that life is doing is better understood as nature than survival. Bears are born with bear paws and will eat people. Elephants are born with ivory. Many of their natures have become the reason people hurt them.
The same is true of Xiaoyou and his companions in the story. They want to live, but most of them cannot. After all, they are the opposite of human beings.
All creatures are striving for survival. It seems that no one is wrong, but except for people, there seems to be no moral high point anymore, so the rest become destined to be "wrong".
Our fault is that everything is too "self-righteous", and it is not really explored whether it is!
I really recommend this one, a work that is hard to come by again (not much spoilers here, but this anime is worth watching).
The principle of life is worth thinking about by each of us!
