Stick to the principles

The issue of principle is a very important issue, so important that it can derive a lot of jokes.

Example 1: It
happened in the legend of Baidu Jianfeng.
There is a man who has been opposed to Griffith's sacrifice of the Eagle Group's companions in exchange for the dream of an empire. When he objected to the correctness of "a great accomplishment and death", he said: The eagle group’s companions have human rights. Even if they are ignorant, weak, barbaric, and ant-like, their right to survive in the Middle Ages should belong to them. , Chief Griffith is just the leader of the gang, and has no right to arrange the fate of others.
Then, he discovered that his opponent was a female. So in order to combat the opponent and her theory, he said: Women's words are always emotional and lacking in reason. This has been proven in certain authoritative scientific works.
Someone reminded him that this was sexist.
So he said: Discrimination is always there. Racial discrimination and gender discrimination will always exist. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with me using discrimination to combat my opponents.
Others remind him: Discrimination is a violation of human rights, it is unjust, and it is anti-rational. If you oppose Griffith because he violated the rights of survival of the members of the Eagles, how can you use the theory of gender discrimination that violates the human rights of women to defend your theory of inviolability of human rights?
He replied: I don't understand what you mean by this. You did not understand what I meant.


Example 2: Mr. dwarf who belongs to a minority group
in the movie "In Bruges"
opposes the discriminatory dwarf in discrimination. He hopes not to be discriminated against by ordinary people who are highly different from his appearance.
However, Mr. Dwarf discriminates against people of color. He is hostile to black dwarfs who have different skin colors compared to most ethnic groups (European whites) and normal Vietnamese people. In this hostility based on the difference in skin color, he may think that he has finally merged with the majority ethnic group (European whites).
He tried to use another discriminatory principle to eliminate his feeling of being discriminated against.
Mr. dwarf who belongs to a minority ethnic group does not hate the irrational, non-objective, unjust, and non-goodwill in discrimination, and he has no interest in rationality, objectivity, justice, and goodwill. His interest lies in how he can get rid of the "feeling" of being discriminated against. For this, he can say anything and adopt any principle.

Example 3:
Lei said: I don't hit women.
The woman said: You hit her.
Lei said: That woman wanted to hit me with a bottle and I hit her. I don't beat unarmed women. You don’t think anything because I hit her?

Example 4:
The "Animal Declaration" written on the wall in "Animal Farm" and its infinite number of later versions.

Example 5: The
constitution of a certain country and the living conditions of its people.

What is the principle?
In this film, it appears as a bullet that Henry shoots at himself.
Almost all of the great ideals of mankind have been dragged and altered in the process of practice and inheritance. In the end, the mask is abominable and it is difficult to distinguish its original appearance.
What are the principles of procrastination and alteration? Are the draggers and modifiers standing in a safe zone where they will never be hit by bullets?
In order to avoid more jokes, this question is very important.

The tragic Henry, the great Henry, the impersonal Henry.
died.
Reasonable Ken, love and justice, and gay minorities.
died.
Pragmatism, rebellious, dying to live, thunder, who
is good at justifying, is still alive.

Living people, what should we do?

One last example:
I have a violent impulse.
I want to kill those who have shrunken brains and moldy hearts but still walk and talk every day.
I want to chop off their necks so that they don't talk stupid anymore.
I want to knock out their heads so that their non-working organs no longer waste energy.
I want to dig out their heart, they don't deserve to enjoy its beating.

However, the problem is that if I really do what I want, I must stick to the principle-kill myself in the same way, because this way I am also a brain atrophy and a mold.
I am afraid of death again.
So the terrible things above can never happen, at least when I realize that I have to stick to my principles.

    The deadly killer film featuring black humor has become another sub-genre. The killers are constantly being dragged away from their posts, and it is the mid-life crisis and salvation that replaces the cruel ones, from the problem solver to the problem. The three killers this time allowed McDonagh, the director and screenwriter, to play with a series of casual coincidences, save any foreshadowing, and concoct the last futile and tragic redemption of nothingness. A dead futility, nothing can be stopped; a dead irony, nihilistic principles can not withstand God's joking; a dead regret, the suicidal tendency of drug-addicting has not been able to save the last three wrong moves in his life: kill Children, beating diners, and blind robbers are all caused by violence. Bruges was originally just a holiday destination for a few British people, but unexpectedly it became their permanent paradise.
