First of all, we cannot deny that "raising the muzzle one centimeter" is indeed a kind of kindness that touches people's hearts!

We need kindness. Without kindness, the world will lose its warmth.

Although the emotion of kindness cannot be simply measured by value, it cannot jump out of the pros and cons of the real world. The simple summary is: you can be kind, but you need to understand one thing clearly: who needs to pay for your kindness?

Let’s use an analogy: You believe that even a “mad dog” is a living being and should be respected, so you choose to give it freedom. However, in its subsequent freedom, you hurt several children!

Then, your kindness will ultimately cost a few children their lives!

Nowadays, many film and television dramas or literary works are vigorously promoting this idea, that is, "raising the muzzle of the gun one centimeter is the glory of humanity." It seems that if you accept this concept, you will immediately get the sublimation of humanity. As long as you If you can keep these words on your lips, you will become a saint!

Especially those who like to represent Western thought and shout "independent thinking", they hope to pour this concept directly into your mind without giving you a chance to think deeply!

However, I just feel that the more they are like this, the more we need to think about this issue.

First of all: Let’s be clear. Who do we need to point our guns at when we need to take up arms?

We all know the saying: When friends come, there is wine; when there are wolves, there are shotguns!

We will only raise our guns when we face a real "jackal". The jackal on the opposite side is coming to eat you. At this time, you raise the muzzle of your gun and choose "the glory of humanity". At this time, the glory of humanity will shine. It is definitely not the light of kindness, but the glare of "mentally retarded"!

Hacksaw Ridge stills

The movie Hacksaw Ridge has undoubtedly become a masterpiece that preaches "human nature". There is an objective reality here, that is, because there are so many people, one person's behavior has no obvious consequences.

There is also a movie, which is also very famous - " Saving Private Ryan ". There is a scene in it that cannot be ignored. A certain soft-hearted soldier let a German soldier go!

He raised the "muzzle", and what kind of result did he get in return?

Returning to Hacksaw Ridge, if the protagonist is not following a large army, but only one squad, performing a mission of infiltrating in front of the enemy, then his kindness of "never using a gun", What will be the result?

The "harmful nature" of such kindness will expand rapidly as its proportion in the population increases. To put it bluntly, when facing the "tiger and wolf enemy", a person's "kindness" may be diluted by more people fighting the enemy bravely. On the contrary, this kindness may also be "beautified". However, if there are half of these people in your team, the basic result is that the entire army will be wiped out!

Example: Tens of thousands of people are fighting in a melee. It is difficult to sort out your mercy. Who will pay for your kindness, and the bravery of more people also downplays the harm of your mercy.

However, both the enemy and ourselves are two people. The consequence of your being soft-hearted and choosing to be tolerant is to put the danger directly on your companions.

has said so much, I just hope that more people can understand who the so-called "kindness" is! In a certain environment, your kindness is not really "kind", but it is just "evil" that does not show serious consequences because it is hidden under the general trend!

Then, let’s talk about it again, who would rather have the muzzle of whose gun be raised one centimeter?

People's temperaments are inherently different, there are "conservative" and "aggressive" (just a rough classification).

Conservative people basically adhere to the point of view of "I don't mess with others, and people shouldn't mess with me." In this passive situation, they obviously won't take the initiative to hurt anyone, so it is difficult to extend to the next step, that is, with "I It’s OK to hurt you, but you shouldn’t hit back” idea.

Those with an aggressive nature, while exporting violence, hope more that the other party will be unable to resist, or will not resist.

That is, I can steal from you, rob you, and beat you, but you must be tolerant, understanding, and kind! In this way, I can continue to bully you even more happily!

In the same way, when Western culture exports and hopes that more and more of us will have the humanity of "raising the muzzle one centimeter," we never reflect on ourselves and whether we should first put down the weapons that threaten others!

They are pointing their weapons at us, and in turn they are making us reflect on war, be tolerant, and have the glory of humanity. Are they fooling fools?

Don’t say it, there are indeed some fools who are willing to believe that!

Finally, is kindness a kind of brilliance?

don't deny it, it is glorious. But our reflection on kindness should not be used on the battlefield, but reflection on another level.

That is, when we face people we should not hurt, we do not have to maintain the humanity of "raising the muzzle", but we should not raise violent weapons at all!

"Giving kindness to the right target" is true kindness! Kindness is truly meaningful when it is "used in the right place"!

Kindness is a kind of brilliance, and choosing to be brave in order to protect the weak is also a kind of brilliance!

’s last word: Don’t be easily brainwashed by a seemingly “kind word”, because you have to see clearly who said this to you!
