Value? Justice?
Our value of live was a lot affected by how we value the money aren’t we?
Admit it. A hell lot of examples could be made just to prove this point.
We human like to categorize things by judging how much it’s cost, or more directly, how big the numbers is on the price tag. From food to material and everything.
Take an example. When we were consuming something, the time when we’re almost full, and there are still a lot of leftovers. One thing that strike our mind first is that we should finish the “meat” first, if there are meat in your meal. If you’re a vegetarian, then most probably you’ll finish all the so called “expensive” food first. Our parents used to tell us to do that isn’t it, because “meat” are known as expensive food compare to those rice or potato or so on and so forth. So we recognize food as expensive food and cheap food. Expensive food have to finish it and should eat only once in a while, cheap food can eat everyday, so if we had a choice to waste food, those so called cheap food will be the priority to been thrown in the dustbin.
Another example. One saw a tissue on a floor, and if another one picked up. They will say all sort of thing like “Ew, you’re disgusting, that’s very dirty”. But if one saw a fifty dollars bill on a floor, or even in a drain. I think there will be a bunch of them rushing to grab it up. If one was told to bite a hundred dollar bill in the mouth and that hundred dollar bill will own by them. I think there will be a bunch of fella willing to do so as well. They just didn’t realize that hundred dollar bill that passed through thousands or millions of people’s hand which might be even dirtier then the rat in the drain. When there is something relate about money, hygiene wouldn’t be the first thing to concern about. Human are hypocrite.
I thought every thing that exist in the world are equally the same value, or even we shouldn’t judge them by value, because it’s so unfair. Humans shout for equality, that’s bullshit since they themselves don’t even treat the things in the world equally. So in the end, if there are god exist then we are the god, since we human just like to categorize every things in the world according to our own preferences aren’t we? From colors, which I mentioned in one of my previous post , black colors are evil, white colors are justice. And in general, things that were tag with an expensive price tag are good stuff, things with cheap price tag are lousy stuff.
So I watched Taken. It’s just another James Bond, Bourne, Mission Impossible kind of movie. There is one thing common about all this kind of action movie if you try to notice it. So, the movie moral is to tell you that those so call “evil guy” will deserved what they did in the end of every movie, they’ll either being caught, or shot and died, or death sentence. While the so call “good guy” will have a happy ending, finding back their love one, get rewards, so on and so forth.
So, does that means that anyone that hold a justice and get over with anything? Did you realize that all these so call “good guy” can just shoot and kill anyone in the movie, destroying stuff without taking any responsibilities. They are just like god, or being sent by god, to punish all those so call “bad fella”, and anyone that relate or help the “bad fella” will equally get the same consequences.
This is just like a metaphor for those advance country like United state of America. They are just like justice, punished all those third world country like nobody business. :)
If we bring this back to reality. There are nothing such as “good side” or “evil side”, it’s just about different standpoint or different point of view. You might say I take this too serious since it was just a movie, but I’m just pointing out the message that might mislead the audience.
Okay maybe for god sake I should just enjoy all this blockbuster show instead of ranting about their cons :).
