this is not a love story

It seems that what I like is not the love story of the hero and the princess, but the story of the god and the people. But the heroes of the myth should be like this, but there are more such people in the contemporary generation of that country. Did the myth nourish them or did they create the myth? After the tragic death of the old Baahubali, the people searched for him like crazy. The queen mother raised his son, a reborn Baahubali. In order to resist the fear and helplessness in the hearts of the common people, heroes will not disappear. In the cycle of karma, the Pindalis mutilated civilians and did not hesitate to drown people for fun, and eventually the entire army was submerged by the flood. This is Baahubali's wisdom and God's will. The stable world lacks objects of admiration, so unwilling people reshape idols, but they are boring to heroes. A safe living space and a life without worry about food and clothing make people pursue more primitive desires, flesh and skin. The heroes and religions of the old days were to satisfy people's spirits, so that people could forget the terrible anxiety of existence and place their hopes in the afterlife. Why do you like Baahubali, because he is not only a god, but also a human being, and the human side is even more moving. He would fall in love at first sight with a princess who was wielding a sword and slaying enemies, saying, "I will always belong to you." Not, "You belong to me." With his character and dignity, he could jump off the river tugboat to pick up his wife without hesitation, but the joke, "The princess's heart seems to have drifted away!" made the princess resolutely step on his shoulders and board the boat. Only such a princess who has been imprisoned for 25 years to gather firewood and wait for the enemy to be wiped out is worthy of this god. The princess and Baahubali refuted the Queen Mother's will several times in public, which reminded me of the Chinese hero Yue Fei, who was also the master of the same merits, and who also suffered in the end. Because they do not "judgment" the timing and object of speaking and doing things like Barra, and they are unwilling to compromise and choose a path of relaxation. They only say the most correct words, and only hope not to violate their own thoughts and beliefs. Therefore, those who survive in the end are often not heroes, but their spirits and stories will always be a branch firmly grasped by people floating in the sea of ​​misery.
