Inspired by "Most Wanted"

Not a movie review.
Just after watching the film, I remembered something my godfather once said to me.
The godfather is a criminal policeman, and he has become the mayor of the city all the way, and the gun never leaves his body. At that time, I had left my parents and went to Shanghai alone. I had my first test of human relations, and I was taught several lessons by the society. I gradually began to obey the law of the weak.
I don't know what case we were talking about that day, but I said nonchalantly: Then use evil to defeat evil, why be polite to the wicked. The godfather was stunned for a moment, and murmured: "You are still young, and you have never seen real evil." Then he said to me seriously: "Don't think about using evil to overcome evil, and you should be more friendly with others. I also hope that you will live in peace and never encounter real evil."
I don't know what I have experienced, so that an old criminal police officer who used force to punish criminals in a violent institution told the younger generation not to use violence to suppress violence, and the godfather's In his career as a criminal police officer, he really fought with criminals, and he has really shot and killed criminals on the spot.
But now, I have a little understanding that using violence to control violence is actually the easiest, but also the worst way.
Compared with the indoctrination and hard-hearted education, violent sanctions are too simple and convenient, and the xx in the film does not even want to take the time to investigate the truth, and chooses to arrest directly.
Yes, it is more effective to lock up directly than to trust people with potential threats. It is said that it is for national security reasons, but is it not the ruthlessness of law enforcement officers? This is to use violence to control violence, simple and rude, to shock the people, but never stop evil.
However, the stability of a country and the tranquility of society are inseparable from such "violence". It was only now that I finally understood somewhat what the political book said, "The apparatus of violence is a tool for maintaining class rule."
But I believe that most of us will have a hard time encountering violence that requires the sanctions of violent agencies in our lives. As my godfather said, I hope that I will not encounter real "evil" in my life, but human nature is so complicated, and there is a difference in life." Evil" is also common.
For example, when I see a disagreement, I use a knife, beat and scold. These may only be triggered by a small quarrel. Probably, my godfather hopes that I will be kind to others. Heart, but not blindly forbearance and concessions, but know how to protect themselves in unfavorable situations.
I have always believed that there are no absolute good and bad people in this world, everyone has complex and multi-faceted, and not all good is rewarded with good, and all evil is rewarded with evil, but I am sure that a person's luck, It has a lot to do with how he treats others.
Because we never help and sympathize with the wicked, we will help the good people we trust and are close to. The world is indeed indifferent, but I have always believed that this era is slowly getting better. From a self who is willing to be kind to others, from on the people around you.
Probably as my favorite "Harry Potter" conveys, Harry was never a genius, nor a hero, he conquered evil because of "love".

    The rhythm is a little bit slow and the ending is dark fuckup, but there is no foreshadowing to imply that the transition is too abrupt
