See a world in a grain of sand,
a paradise in a wild flower,
put infinity in your hands, and
store eternity in a moment.
Horton the Elephant stumbled upon a grain of ordinary dust. There was an unnamed town in the dust. The elephant heard the voice from the mayor of the unnamed town, and the mayor also heard the call of the elephant. In this way, a big world communicates with a small world. However, both in the big world and the small world, Horton and the mayor are considered outliers for their bizarre discoveries. Whether it is a big world or a small world, when the truth is in the hands of only one person, he must pay the price for defending the truth. Fortunately, the ending was a classic Hollywood reunion.
Horton the Elephant is a practitioner of virtue. He would give everything to promise. When it walked lonely and lonely on the single-plank bridge between the cliffs, although the director could not forget his wit, the courage and the character of the promise made people deeply shocked. Because it is a fairy tale, what we see is only the success that Holden insists on in exchange, but we do not see the loneliness and sadness that come from the ancient times behind the insistence on the sublime. He risked being expelled as a forest citizen to defend the little world he had discovered. It only needs to give up this secret that no one knows, and it can live safely, but it chooses to stick to it. Its enemies, kangaroos and vultures, framed him everywhere and wanted to kill him, but he never compromised and chose to fight.
The mayor is also a practitioner of virtue. After he learned that there was a bigger world outside his own, he tried to tell all the people in Nameless Town about this discovery, however, everyone thought he was crazy! The town's authority remained stubborn, and even the mayor's wife could not understand him. He fell into a sort of prophetic helplessness. He can only prove himself by small individual actions. He is also holding on.
In the end, the two holdouts spread what they hold fast to their respective worlds. Those who suppressed heresy succumbed in an instant and were forgiven. They are far less stubborn than humans. All their mistakes are simply that they don't see the truth, instead of deliberately covering up the truth and creating illusions for their own sake.
Do you know that we are not living on a dust?
Do you know if there is an elephant guarding us outside?
Many times, humans never forgive those who know the truth. They only like to live peacefully in the illusion, and hate to be uneasy because of the real. Even if they knew the underside of the rug was damp and moldy, they would be reluctant to lift it and expose it to the sun.
Therefore, all we have on Earth is a burnt Bruno.
