Hate is a kind of death, and love is a kind of life

I don't remember which Buddhist Zen master said that hatred is a kind of death, an emotional and emotional death.

And love, according to Krishnamurti, means life.

This concept was confirmed in this movie.

HANK’s family has only three males. HANK’s father appeared in the movie as a cold-blooded animal, especially the discrimination against blacks, which is a kind of hatred of the bones.

But HANK's son did not inherit his father and grandfather. He still had love in his heart.

The change of HANK in the movie is from when his son knew that his father HANK said he hated him, he shot his life with one shot. Before his words were: I love you, but you hate me.

Yes, if a person loves only in exchange for the hatred of others, no one will not despair.

And it was the death of HANK's son that made HANK begin to change: hatred can only bring death.

With the development of the plot, love began to grow in his heart.

The ending of this movie makes people wonder: Will Lycia forgive him, the executioner who sent her husband to death?

Or, if you were Lycia, how would you handle this relationship?


According to the logic of the movie, I personally hope that in the end both parties will walk out of the shadow of the past, bury the past, and bury the hatred. Because hate can only breed death, and only love can make life better.
