The Blind Side: Motivation

Anyone who questioned the Taoshis' motives for adopting BIG MIKE should be ashamed.

The controversy of this story naturally reminds me of the education of many elders when I was a child, such as "learning from Lei Feng to do good deeds" and "helping others with pleasure".

I have to admit that for a long time, the behavior of "doing good" was chosen to be praised in our understanding, and I was not ashamed to do "good" for this. Until one day I saw a noun called "hypocrisy".

Naturally, a new question arises: is the so-called helping others do this for the sake of one's own happiness? If the answer is yes, isn't this an act done for one's own pleasure but called a "good deed"? Isn't this hypocrisy? The

problem teenagers don't really understand the difference until they are about to say goodbye to their youth: do something because you think it is right, and do it for granted; do something because you think you can This matter pays off, so it must be done.

This is the moral blind spot: motivation.

The Blind Side quotes

  • Miss Sue: You like Tennessee? That's a good school. Not at the academic level of Ole Miss but they have an outstanding science department. You know what they're famous for? They work with the FBI, to study the effects of soil on decomposing body parts. When they find a body, the police wanna know how long it's been dead. So the fine folks at Tennessee help them out. Oh, they have lots of body parts. Arms and legs and hands, from hospitals and medical schools. And do you know where they store 'em? Right underneath the football field. So while it's fine and dandy to have 100,000 fans cheering for you, the bodies you should be worried about are the ones right under the turf. Set to poke up through the ground and grab you... Well, it's your decision where you wanna play ball. Don't let me influence you.

  • Michael Oher: Mrs. Touhy?

    Leigh Anne Touhy: I hear "Mrs. Touhy" I look over my shoulder for my mother-in-law. Call me Leigh Anne or Mama or almost anything else.
