"War and Peace" | Forgiveness is the most difficult lesson in life "War and Peace" is Leo Tolstoy's masterpiece, and it has also been put on the screen many times. Compared with the 1966 Soviet version of the film that has been praised all over the world, I prefer the BBC 2016 TV series version. The reason may be that this film and television work has been produced in recent years, and the rhythm is relatively tight, which is in line with the current pace of life. In the process of alternation between war and peace, Tolstoy wrote the love and hatred among many characters, and composed an epic masterpiece. Tolstoy displayed his fraternity and humanism in War and Peace, but his forgiveness permeated everywhere, especially in Pierre Bezukhov, whom he wrote more about. A Pierre is the illegitimate son of the Bezukhov family, and the upper class has always sneered at him and dismissed him. Unexpectedly, Pierre, who was born in such a poor family, inherited almost all of his father's family property. The upper class quickly adjusted its attitude, turning away from his previous attitude towards him and turning to be submissive and kitsch. The wily Duke of Vassili did everything possible to get his daughter Helen to marry Pierre. Pierre is hard to resist Helen's beauty, but at the same time Pierre is also deeply aware of Helen's debauchery and understands that the union with Helen is painful. Pierre was conflicted about this, but Duke Huasili took the initiative to clarify all this in front of many guests at a dinner party, and pushed his daughter into Pierre's arms. However, Helen's debauchery has not changed because of the marriage, and she is still willing to communicate. During the armistice, Pierre settled his friend Taulokov at home, and Helen dared to have an affair with Taulokov at home. An angry Pierre decided to duel with Taurokhov. At the moment of the duel, Pierre didn't even know how to use a gun, and only learned to use it with the help of others. The unfamiliar Pierre actually hit Taolokhov. At the moment of hitting the opponent, Pierre was not happy but regretful. After the hit, Pierre immediately threw the gun and ran towards the weakened Taurokhov, but Taurokhov still insisted that the duel was completed, so he shot and fell unconscious on the ground. Pierre was intact, and the injury to his friend made him miserable, and instead of showing any pleasure in shooting Taurokhov, he was lost all day. After that, when Pierre no longer cared about the future and turned to worry about the serfs who worked for him, his heart became calm. At the end of the story, in the Franco-Russian war, Taolokhov, who had been the target of a duel, reached out to Pierre, who was now a prisoner of war, and helped him. Actually, in Pierre hitting Tauro After Hof, when he immediately planned to help him, he had already forgiven others, the man who had given him the greatest shame. How hard, how hard it is as a man to tolerate insults to one's self-esteem. Pierre did it. The moment he saw the blood, he knew that killing was sinful. He also experienced many contradictions and thoughts, and was reconsidering. But the kindness and simplicity of his nature made him understand that even if there is hatred, killing is not the best way, but it will make him feel guilty and uneasy. Hatred will breed the dark desires in human hearts, and when the madness for revenge dissipates, the blood used to pay homage will make conscience miserable. Forgiveness, on the other hand, allows you to calm your mind and avoid causing unacceptable harm. Pierre's good friend Andre and the kind and pure Natasha fell in love after an encounter, but were opposed by Andre's father. Andre's father asked Andre to go to Switzerland to recuperate the wounds of the war for a year. If the two are still in the same mind after a year, they will no longer object to allowing them to marry. Unexpectedly, during this period, Natasha was tempted by Helen's brother Anatoly, thinking of running away with her. Anatoly's mischief was discovered by Natasha's family, so he tried to elope. But Natasha's reputation was destroyed, and Natasha regretted it. At this time, Andre, who returned to China as scheduled, could not accept Natasha. At this time, Pierre took the initiative to communicate with the gloomy Natasha, who hated herself to the extreme. Pierre continued to enlighten Natasha and persuaded Natasha to forgive herself. At the same time, Pierre also took the initiative to communicate with his friend Andre, begging him to forgive Natasha, who was young and ignorant and could not help temptation, but Andre refused to forgive Natasha. When Andre, who was seriously wounded in the war later, was on the verge of dying, he was meticulously cared for by Natasha. He finally forgave her and died calmly. Finally, Pierre's gentle companionship and tolerance made Natasha discover his silent love, and Natasha accepted the courtship of Pierre, who was single at this time. In the later chapters of Pierre, forgiveness has been given to others. For example, he had actively communicated with Natasha and Andre, who misunderstood each other, hoping that Natasha would forgive his young ignorance, and he sincerely hoped that Andre would forgive Natasha for being deceived for a while. Pierre actively spread the forgiveness he had exchanged for his blood to the people around him, and used his care and fraternity to warm the people around him, which was undoubtedly a point that could not be ignored in attracting Natasha. Forgiveness is not so easy to obtain, it requires countless painful choices and repeated self-examination, but it is undoubtedly the hardest lesson in our life. How powerful is forgiveness, it forgives others at the same time It is forgiving yourself, helping yourself to gain peace and peace of mind. Learning to forgive doesn't actually help you after all?
