There is still controversy about whether to save the octopus, but the idea of trying to save her is actually a bit arrogant. In the eyes of wild animals, what people do is no different from gods. There is no doubt about it. People have landed on the moon. Wild animals are still drinking water in the sea and eating soil. You insist that we are equal. Animals too, which is hilarious. Only when people are aware of their own power close to God can they be more afraid of their own power. This octopus wants me to save her, and I really want to save her, but I can't.
Because although I regard her as a friend, I am far more than just a friend. My most important identity is a "god", an observer, and she is my object of observation. She was not an octopus that I rescued on the road, so there is no controversy. But I've really seen her as a friend, and I've started to think in her way, and we've reached a level of spiritual equality. If I use my strength as a human to help again, it will not only be arrogant to human identity, but also contempt for wild animals. If I like you, you can live, if I get tired of you, you have to die. Today I like octopuses, so the sharks starve, tomorrow I like sharks, so the sharks starve, and in the end it just shows that I am abusing my power. It’s not a big deal for an octopus to be eaten by a natural enemy, and it’s not a big deal for a shark to starve, but it’s a big deal for humans to use it recklessly without realizing how powerful they are.
The photographer ended up intervening in the octopus's life and delivering her food, which I think is a bit too far.
In short, if she wasn't my friend, I'd save it if I could, but she's my friend, so I can't.
Recording of wild animals should be like this, never interfere with animals based on human likes and dislikes. The traffic of this movie is not very high. If it is popular one day and the traffic is very large, then today the photographer saved an octopus and filmed it for playback, and tomorrow, countless people will do this because the octopus is popular.” Rescue". This would be a very scary phenomenon.
She's just the most ordinary octopus, I'm just the most ordinary person, she's not my pet, and I'm not her savior, we just had a good time together for a short period of time, that's all.
