Some of the meanings of the delayed good film echo the crux of the human era. Facing something you don’t know, will you try to believe or instinctively deny it? Most of us will stick to past experience to make judgments.

Whether the cherry pit is poisonous can also be verified through scientific and technological means. If authority is denied for things that cannot be verified in a short period of time, all living beings tend to believe in authority rather than the person who asks the question.
This story written by Dr. Seuss to children is both a denial of McCarthyism during the Cold War and an answer to this question. Obviously, his ending is too happy.

Can they create an imagine world? How long can our imaginations go? What is rare is that it is directly expressed that every tiny life is worthy of respect, not whether it is powerful or not, this is civilization.
