If you don’t believe it, then please don’t believe it sturdily

I think what the movie tells me is the sentence on the title. If you don't believe it, then please don't believe it sturdily. Don't believe it, you're still afraid of this and that, and what if it's true? What if I make a mistake? Any ambiguity and coy state between believing and unbelief will bring harm to myself-this is what this movie told me.

There is no shortage of such examples in our lives. We often see someone’s house offering a Buddha statue, and then we ask the owner, huh? Do you still believe in Buddhism? The master often answers, not so faithful, but offerings are always harmless. What if there is a Buddha? We often see someone wearing a cross on their neck, we ask, are you a Christian? People often answer, no, no, I am trying to avoid evil.

The film tells us that any ambiguous "belief" that is not based on serious beliefs will bring us evil results. When we don't seriously believe in something, but are afraid of what to do if the belief becomes true, we are caught in a struggle. At this time of "belief and doubt", the human psychology is the most vulnerable because it is not strong enough or strong enough.

Therefore, the so-called belief must come from the depths of the soul, not for any utilitarian purpose-such as self-protection, and praying for possible salvation or blessings. When you approach a belief or religion for these utilitarian purposes, you often leave yourself in the most vulnerable and vulnerable position in spirit.

Finally, let us once again appreciate the classic line in "Hope and Resistance", "People must have a strong spirit and a gentle heart."
