If you really "know today", will you still "why bother in the first place"

This should be the best commercial movie I've seen so far. Fortunately, there are too many thought-provoking contents. Roughly speaking, there are the pros and cons of high-tech, the choice between the individual and the greater (the trade-off between the human rights of the three prophets and the more lives saved by the foresight), the redemption of the self in the future...

It was the first time that I felt my ability was limited in the face of so many profound topics, so I first thought about a question, but there is no clear answer yet. The question is that when one is told with extreme authority and certainty that after a few hours, he will kill someone or do something that he regrets for a lifetime. Then he will believe in the self-control ability to face the incident, or make it happen and flee completely if the conditions are not established.

There is a Chinese saying: "Knowing today, why bother at the beginning. This is what everyone who regretted doing something would think: "If you knew what the result was, then you would never do it again." But there are often a lot of things. People are very confident and affirmatively said: "I will definitely not do such a thing, I am not that kind of person." In fact, I myself am so arrogant many times, but I was a little shaken after watching this movie. The male protagonist has to say that at a certain moment, he did have the idea of ​​killing, but the plot needs to put down the butcher knife. But if a similar episode happened to someone in real life, what the result would be is really unpredictable, because everyone has a "point" that makes the heart out of control intolerable. What exactly this point is is unpredictable, because even the parties themselves don't know until the last moment. So this is what I'm thinking about, what is it that makes me completely out of control? If this point is touched, can I "choose"?

It is a difficult question to think about it, but it also proves that I am still not practicing enough. I believe that a person with a true Buddha mind can resolve this problem without having to make a choice. Because only when you reach that state can you look at the parting of life and death causally, without artificial interference. I really can't do this. But the words that Agatha said are really branded in the heart: You can choose to have such a sentence full of Buddhahood in Western commercial films without any sense of contradiction. Yes, there are many irreversibles in life. There is nothing to choose, but there are too many paths you can choose, and the hard work of your whole life is to let yourself know which one to choose, but the fact is that there are always too many conclusions to choose the wrong path afterwards, and this goes back again. Origin-if people could know the result early, what choice would they make?

This is probably a question that people sigh, but have never thought about it seriously, because today's technology cannot provide this hypothesis, but it does not mean that it will not be realized in the future. But what would people do then?

    This is a blockbuster movie in 2002. I vaguely remember that in the summer vacation of 1999, Xi'an had a movie ticket of 100 yuan for 12 times. My mother and I experienced the Matrix in the movie theater. This film is exactly the same grade. However, the storyline always reminds me of the detective. I can realize that it is a little bit the same, but it is difficult to express. By the way, I won't complain about the future. Talking about the future is also eye-catching.

    If you have seen the time and space clues, you should logically understand this movie better. As expected of Spear's arm, the logic of general directors has long been messed up
