Righteousness is the quality, and propriety is practiced. The gentleman is a gentleman.

I have always believed that the reason why the human world can continue to maintain and even advance depends on the greatness of a few people.
Before this greatness had an ancient word kalon. It means nobility and sublime, and is the highest virtue of nobles.
There is another kind of minority, who are very intelligent and can see the world better than the average mediocre person. They saw the ugliness and greed in human nature.
In fact, both types of people have seen through human nature, but the former will take it down and use their own efforts to offset the negative parts of their nature;
Therefore, the former bears a burden far greater than their own, and actively devotes themselves to the world; the latter bears the sacred mission of eradicating sin.

Since ancient times, humans themselves have been regarded as the most evil, and they eat almost all living things, although this is not necessary; constantly expanding their power to meet their own selfish interests. Words like "parasite" or "virus" do apply to this greed of humans: like snakes biting their own tails, they cannibalize their own indiscriminately, and will eventually perish along with them.
However, the most different thing from viruses is that each virus is similar, but everyone is different. It is this difference that enables human beings to continue to survive, some people obey their own nature, and some people reflect on their own nature, and intend to self-denial and return to ritual.
Ritual is festival.

In the past, nobility had a connotation of blood, but rather blood is the guarantee that the spirit of nobility can be passed on. Only nobles with sufficient financial resources and leisure will have the energy and time to think about the problems of others and the whole life world. The wealth of the aristocracy gave them the opportunity to be educated into what we today call the courteous "gentlemen".
No one is born aristocratic, they just have a heart of kindness and demand themselves with the standard of a gentleman. The road to becoming a noble must also be difficult, otherwise nobles cannot be rare.

If it is said that human beings are bound to perish, then it can be foreseen that if the natural environment does not undergo great changes, only human beings will perish. Because firstly, the nobility has become scarce, and secondly, their power has also weakened in the age of democracy and technology.
Advances in technology will continue to accelerate this process. Once upon a time, a warrior could at best kill five or six of his own kind, but today's technology can enable anyone with a brain to destroy all living things in the world.
In the past, only smart people can do things, today, even unsmart people can achieve.

  • [Valentine notices the people in the party room looking gloomy]

    Valentine: The fuck's wrong with them?

    Gazelle: I don't know. Could be something to do with the mass genocide.

    Valentine: Give me the mic.

    [Gazelle hands Valentine a microphone. Valentine stands up]

    Valentine: Hey all! Everybody listen up! What the fuck is wrong with you people? I just want to remind you all that today is a day of celebration. We must put aside all thoughts of death, and focus on birth. The birth of a new age. We mustn't mourn the ones who give their lives today. We should honor their sacrifice, and their role in saving the human race. We must put aside doubts and guilt. You are the chosen people.

    Harry Hart: I'm so sorry I can't say more. I would like to present to you this medal of valour. If you look closely on the back, there's a number. And as a more concrete gesture of gratitude, we'd like to offer you a... Let's call it a favour. The nature of it is your choice. Just tell the operator: 'Oxfords, not Brogues.' And then they'll know it's you.

    Michelle Unwin: I don't want your help!

    Michelle Unwin: I want my husband back!
