They also asked themselves: What will the future of this country look like?
How much blood and violence is today's extremely developed material civilization built on?
Oh, I'm sorry, I was wrong. Faced with the actual differences in the level of civilization, I have no face to call their civilization "material civilization".
We have only seen our own suffering and exaggerated the civilized nature of Western society. However, even from the game "Diablo", we can see a hint: in the dark century of suffering in the West, the inhuman cruelty people endured is no worse than ours.
Including the people who lived in the 17th century in the film, they have gone away from us, turned into fly ashes, and are covered in dust in the memory of posterity. Whether it is a soldier, a gang leader, an official in a wealthy area, or a maimed black person, identity is no longer important.
Have they ever been lost? Maybe he sighed and asked the sky: Our country, our society, where is our way out? Fighting and killing, oppressing each other for the rest of their lives, but what about their children?
The homeland of the fleeing misery, from Ireland, from Africa, from South America, from the United Kingdom, from China... The survivors came to this free land, but what attracted the eyes was a chaotic scene, crying and beating. Killing, gunfire, is the legendary Garden of Eden really only a human dream?
Where is the hope? Where is the light? The so-called democracy means people shave their beards and vote again? Does each ethnic group only vote for their own candidates? The so-called liberation of slaves is endless conscription, endless civil war, endless pain and turmoil? Is the so-called politics the extreme corruption of the bureaucracy?
Will there be a day when people can live in a stable society? Will there be a day when everyone has the right to speak for themselves? Will there be a day when everyone has bread to eat?
I really admire everyone at the time. They played their role in despair with the instinct to survive: whether it is a good person or a bad person, a city of hope was established amidst chaos and ruins.
In this place, there is darkness and injustice, but you have freedom, and you have all freedom except for the behavior of hindering freedom.
You succeeded, and today, more than 200 years later, you succeeded! Although there are still many unsatisfactory places, your descendants have succeeded in blood and tears from generation to generation. Your offspring can finally not have to face the dripping blood directly.
Injustice and discrimination will accompany people to walk, even if water taps and rubber bullets replace guns fired at the crowd.
Thank you for everything you have done. You and your descendants are all good, because they know how to face history and respect history. Don't avoid the crowd and their eyes rushing towards the army.
Listening to "the hand that built America" by U2 band at the end, I had the urge to cry.
What we need is still far away, and we know very little.
Many people are still unable to see the huge crisis and hidden dangers we are facing.
They are willing to be deceived by others, they are willing to deceive themselves, they are willing to use a lot of vulgar things to numb themselves, blindfold their eyes, and avoid the truth.
In fact, what qualifications do I have to comment on others? Am I not an ideologically raised pig myself? It’s okay to eat or drink. It’s too tiring to think so much. As long as I live today, I don’t have to think about tomorrow.
Where is our hope?
My eyes are blurred...
