Woody Allen’s 1979 movie Manhattan is coming to an end. His own role is called Se Isaac, and he scolds my friend Yale. Being dishonest to himself

Isaac didn’t just say that Yale had found some reason to prevaricate against him in order to do unreasonable things. He also recorded self-deception. Of course, Isaac can be regarded as a more general accusation of people’s self-deception and self-deception. justify maintaining personal integrity or that adhere to the principle requires that we not only have to act according to certain rules according to the rules of thinking if we are constantly looking for an excuse to pamper yourself in too lost a reliable guide behavior conduct Manhattan theme

we should put ethics and Persist in a clear distinction, usually think that the latter two are close to ethics and ethics is a commendatory description. Although persistence is an element of ethics, only persistence is not enough to get the commendation possessed by ethics. There are many unethical persistence, such as in room decoration. In addition to insisting on a kind of aesthetics, people will also have morally improper insistence, such as being single-minded and not letting go. A Nazi personality defect with too much personality can also be expressed as a kind of persistence, such as the role played by the film Anne Halley Allen. Iver's love and marriage are always eroded. The usual saying is that loyalty to oneself may also be an element of ethics, but only this is too subjective and has no value. A narcissist is a typical loyalty to oneself, but it is not a moral good.

A paragraph with a lot of creative grace,
Yale, good I am not a saint, alright,
Isaac, but you are too laissez-faire to yourself. Didn’t you find that? Honestly, you said that you want to write a book, but in the end you would rather buy a Porsche, you know, you’re not being honest with Emily now and playing tricks with me next time you should publish a list of names in front of the Senate committee and betray yours friends
Yale you too proud we are all human beings have emotions you think you are God my life na Isaac standard
Yale got so that you will not do too accurate seeking perfect
Isaac thinks about what people will say about us in the future. Oh my god, we will be like them one day. He used to be a gift of creation, Miharu, who may also dance and play tennis. I want to do everything when I hope people will miss me. good

Isaac apparently think that buying a Porsche is a symbol of the lack of integrity of Yale law rather than evidence of Isaac saying matters to ensure that future generations can he be good also to think that this is the only value implies that descendants of conduct or morality I have a good impression of him. Isaac may not think that he believes that moral values ​​cannot be detected from the mainstream view. Later in the movie Isaac listed a number of specific things. Without ethics, it is impossible to coordinate reason and emotion. Harmony causes inner conflicts and brings endless dissatisfaction, making people unable to persist in doing the right and valuable things. Without virtue, only superficial and short-lived joy can be obtained.
