Understanding Difficulty Union Not Difficult

There is one thing in this world that I hate, ideology, the monster that we rationalize our self-prejudice against.
In the dragon's picture book, each dragon is depicted as ferocious, and it is stated that it must be killed when it sees it.
In fact, they are also cute and playful, and they are as docile as cats when touched.
It's just that in the eyes of the Vikings, these things that can fly and breathe fire represent cruelty, looting, and fear.
Over the generations, they have continued to reinforce these impressions, and when they dug out the dragon's guts, they must have been filled with the thrill of revenge.
In fact, I think it was not Hiccup that finally resolved the hatred between the two groups, but the last giant dragon.
In our thinking, what we are looking for is the same, and we automatically reject the different. This similarity is sometimes so superficial that there is no common enemy.
Superficial things are always the best to understand and the easiest to spread, so national suffering, patriotism can always easily gather a large number of people, fanatical, irrational, when he destroys another individual, it does not act as a free individual Instead, they illusoryly think that they are the embodiment of the will of the population.
Without that dragon, I think the movie would be a remake of Dancing With Wolves, a story that ends with the devastating demise of a race.
The process of understanding other individuals is too complicated, and we like simplicity.
Movies can create an illusory evil enemy, but in reality we only have to point the knife at the same kind, and ideology is fueling the flames here, and it has to be said that it is the sorrow of every individual.

How to Train Your Dragon quotes

  • Hiccup: [Stoick has just thrust a large battle axe into his hands] I... don't wanna fight dragons.

    Stoick: [chuckles] Oh, come on, yes you do.

    Hiccup: Rephrase: Dad, I *can't* kill dragons.

    Stoick: But you *will* kill dragons!

    Hiccup: No, I'm really, very extra sure that I *won't*.

    Stoick: It's time, Hiccup...

    Hiccup: Can you not *hear* me?

    Stoick: This is *serious*, son. When you carry this axe, you carry all of us with you. Which means, you walk like us, you talk like us, and you think like us. No more of... this!

    [gestures to all of Hiccup]

    Hiccup: [miffed] You just gestured to *all* of me.

    Stoick: Deal?

    Hiccup: This conversation is feeling very one-sided...

    Stoick: *Deal*?

    Hiccup: [sighs, giving in] Deal.

  • Gobber: [to Hiccup during dragon training] Don't worry. You're small and you're weak. That'll make you less of a target! They'll see you as sick or insane and go after the more viking-like teens instead.
