I was so bored today, I watched Movie Paradise and came across this movie by accident. After reading it, I kept thinking about a question, why do soldiers live? As during the training, the commander said that you will not have contact with your family for the next five years, maybe your child's birthday will be a rain of bullets flying over your head. Why do people give up a normal and ordinary life with their families? When I saw them fall one by one, it reminded me of army ants. When the ant colony encounters flash floods or fires, the entire colony of worker ants will gather into a group, and the worker ants will wrap up the queen ants one after another until it is safe. So is this just a biological instinct?
In the past, I always thought that the beginning of every life is to live hard until the moment of death. I always thought that human beings are no different from other animals. They all follow the law of the jungle, morality, and they are just hypocritical coats. When there is enough war or natural disaster, people are no different from animals. However, human beings still have self-sacrificing behaviors. The significance of the existence of the worker ants of the army ants is to keep the queen ant and even the entire ant colony alive. Perhaps this is really instinct. But what about people? People have complex brains, thinking and emotions. Why is there something higher than the instinct to survive at this time? I think it's emotions. People are animals, not animals, because people have a more complex emotional world than animals. People can live or die because of emotions.
Soldiers may be a group of people who are more emotionally inclined to achieve a sense of justice, of course not all. War means blood and death. In peaceful places, soldiers can only live in their fantasies, but when war does happen, some people will do something because of fear that stimulates their survival instinct, and some people will overcome this fear.
The movie calls these people heroes.
