"When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring into you." I came across this sentence yesterday while watching the movie "Detective Chinatown 2". It is very meaningful. This sentence comes from Nietzsche's "Beyond Good and Evil".
There is actually a trace why there is such a sentence at the end of the movie. For most homicide cases, they mostly show the sinister nature of human nature. The occurrence of any case is what people are thinking in their hearts. Because human nature is divided into good and evil, people play different roles, some are good and some are evil. And when you have seen enough of the evils of human nature, will you get stuck in them and be unable to extricate yourself? Those dark, obscure, hidden things may be staring at you and secretly changing you.
Exactly like this, when Song Yi was rescuing Qin Feng in the film, Qin Feng was thinking about Song Yi's suspicion. Song Yi said such a sentence under his thoughts. Sometimes, you can stare into the abyss, but don't stare for too long, because when people fight monsters, they must be careful not to become monsters themselves.
Faced with Qin Feng’s alternative thoughts, Song Yi asked him, “Are you a god or a beast?”
Although the case has come to an end, the thinking about human nature continues. . Doctors who save lives and heal the wounded use the five elements to kill people. On the one hand, they are saving people, but on the other hand, they are doing evil. Is it true that human nature has two sides? People often say that good and evil are often just a matter of thoughts.
Furthermore, for Qin Feng in the film, when asked why he wanted to apply for college, he said that he wanted to complete a perfect crime. The true nature of human nature has already been changing you subtly, but you just haven't noticed it. Just like the role played by each person, are you good or evil behind the mask...
A god or a beast? Without thinking of Agatha's "No One Survived" series, it is difficult to imagine that a judge with justice caused all this. He once said: There are other contradictions in my character. Crime and punishment will always attract people. Follow me...
In fact, people have always behaved in life based on the principle of kindness, and they have always believed that "human beings are originally good-natured". But in real life, as things change, the standards for weighing good and evil are constantly being broken and changed, and it is difficult for us to discover what is truly good and what is truly evil.
Perhaps, this requires you to examine and feel it when you are in it. Just like the two conclusions proposed by Poirot in Grandma's "Murder on the Orient Express", the first inference is people's ideal view. Poirot explains that the murderer escaped, while the second inference is the fact of the entire case. , the murderers do evil for the sake of good. When people on the express train learned about the real cause and event, they expressed: The first inference is correct. And Poirot was honored to withdraw from the case.
In the end, the standard of balance lies in the heart. I hope that when you stare into the abyss, you can still reflect deeply enough, then break the pattern and regain your true heart.
