On the ending of Gus and Lao Bai

In the discussion of the episode, a friend mentioned that "the worst thing Lao Bai did was to blow up Gus", some thoughts on this:

If you want to use the result-oriented theory of "right and wrong", then Lao Bai will always die, whether he is obedient to die of cancer, or he listens to his inner voice and acts according to his heart, which one is right and which is wrong. Woolen cloth? Since the beginning of Lao Bai's journey, everything he does is a choice after his inner entanglement, and he thinks the "right" choice. The original life that followed the rules brought him a bleak result, how could he continue to choose this kind of life that continued to follow the rules? Every choice is destined to a result. Since the cooperation between Lao Bai and Gus, the ending of this cooperation is either you die or I live. Either there is nothing to do - Gus is waiting for Lao Bai to die, or Gus has an accident - his stall is too big, there are too many trees and birds, contradictions and opposites are everywhere, and Lao Bai is implicated; or the contradiction explodes inside - Gus does Take out Old White or Old White and kill Gus. And it was the latter that happened. Both sides have made choices in their favor. The endings of Gus and Lao Bai are the best endings in their lives. Seek benevolence and be benevolent, and die in the right place.

Watching the entire play is heartbreaking. Don't even know if right or wrong makes sense.
