Choosing to watch "The Wave" in the middle of the night is actually not a good choice. The music that is about to be deafened, mixed with the sound of gunshots, is like a revolution on the verge of breaking out, waiting for the next dawn the next day. After watching more than half of the plot, I guessed the final destination of Tim, and even felt that it was quite similar to "Dead Poets Society". We greeted the scorching sun that rose as usual on the second day, and we shared the same vision that illuminated the earth, but we were different from each other. Always feel something is wrong?
That's right, it's our different traits. Because our family is poor, we are despised, so we envy those who are qualified to despise us. We are oppressed because we are cowardly and timid, so we desire to be as strong as those people. Because of our loneliness and powerlessness, we are segregated into one group and another, so we demand assimilation. In this way, there will be no discrimination, and in this way, there will be equality.
This is the source of countless social changes throughout history and now. We cry out that "all men are created equal", we advocate "reject discrimination and uphold rights", we firmly believe in "common prosperity", and we believe that one day "action can achieve strength", as long as we unite as one, as long as there are many people, we will Powerful. But what is a real society? Behavior makes difference, and difference makes dissatisfaction.
Allow me to say a very absolute statement, there are undoubtedly two types of social changes in this world: one is assimilation and the other is disagreement. And assimilation ends up being a fairy tale, and disagreements only lead to controversy in the end.
Looking back at the history of the Fascist period, what kind of power did the Nazis use to turn so many ordinary people into undefeated soldiers? No one pointed a gun at those people, it was the gun they chose to hold. Because of this, they can all be the same. Here, there is no difference in religion, no difference in family background, no beauty or ugliness in appearance, all of us standing on the battlefield are just pawns in the hands of the dictator. There is not much, but it is a sense of identity. Now that you have it, why not die? My own life is unbearable.
Because it is a dispensable waste in society, it will fall into the quagmire of fantasy and sink deeper and deeper.
Looking at the differences in social change, take the American Revolutionary War as an example. The American people, who were under colonial rule at that time, were not willing to be exploited by the British, and they began to strive for individuality and show their characteristics. Their success can be said to be the blessing of the goddess of luck, or it can be said to be the coexistence of human wisdom and courage, and the "individualization" they strive for has been recognized. The democratic system that the United States now adheres to is the most powerful proof of disagreement, but democracy does not mean approval. As independent individuals, we have our own ideals, or life goals, for which we live our whole lives. Personality should not be too public, that will only become the public enemy of society, but reluctantly to be buried in the ordinary, it is too pale to be reduced to ordinary life.
Because he is a unique individual in the world, he is only attached to the lofty ideals and is alone.
At its root, social change is nothing more than a collection of human ego’s craving for identity. It changes with people's ideology, and what those thinkers admire is just one step ahead. And it is such pioneers, who can also be called prophets, who may not be able to promote the fundamental change of society, but they can promote the change of people's thinking in society. Compared with demonstrations, printed publications, and various revolutions, the replacement of ideas is the best medicine for society.
We are like waves, springs pouring into this world.
We want to roll up the tide before we can devour this society.
Let the sea be all-encompassing, so that the droplets of water can be gathered into waves; let the waves be uneven, so that the waves can reach farther; Gravel in the sun.
