You don't have to be like this, but do you want to be like this?

Ferdinand is a cow who loves flowers. He doesn't like to fight. He likes to watch the flowers bloom, smell the flowers, and the years are peaceful. When people say, you are a bull, you should go to the bullring to fight and become a great bull. He didn't want to, so he ran away and lived the life he wanted.

One day Ferdinand came back and he told everyone that life is not just the bullfight in front of you, but also flowers and distance. Do you think this is to educate the people and enlighten them?

Valiente is a bull who has loved bullfighting since he was a child. His ideal is to become a bull who can beat a bullfighter like his father. Bones was naturally thin, but worked hard to develop speed in order to become a pit bull. Guapo throws up when he's nervous, but why is he nervous if he doesn't care. They all wanted to be the bull that beat the bullfighter. This is an ideal that does not change because the final destination is death. However, Guapo's catatonia made him eliminated, Bones' inherent weakness was also destined to not be selected, and Valiente, the only one who had a chance, was also broken. Therefore, following Ferdinand to escape is not an independent choice after examining their hearts and finding that bullfighting is not the most desired life, but the last escape for them who have been eliminated.

You might say they want to be pit bulls because they were born to be pit bulls. Those astronauts and scientists are also educated to become such people since childhood, but perhaps this is also their own dream. Being different is never a bad thing, but it's also never a minority. The ideal of taking a different approach is an ideal, and the ideal of following the rules is also an ideal. When someone says you don't have to be like this, you also have to think about it, yes, I don't have to be like this, but do I just want to be like this.
