Sucking human blood is how vampires survive. From the point of view of human beings, vampires are devil-like beings, and blood-sucking is a cruel way; but from the point of view of vampires, it is a means of survival, and it is the nature that they were created with. As Shakespeare said, "'TO BE OR NOT TO BE 'this is a question" for vampires, when they were transformed, they faced such a problem, sucking human blood - living as a vampire, Or refuse to smoke - just die. When faced with such a problem, I believe that most people will choose the former. After all, people will have the instinct to survive, which is inevitable. But when living as a vampire, there are choices. You can choose to restrain your urge to suck human blood, fight against your own instinctive desires, and only suck animal blood to maintain the operation of the body, just like Stefan; you can choose to restrain instinct while sucking human blood in moderation, just like Damon; It is also possible to completely conform to instinct and madly suck human blood, just like the ancestor family... These are completely self-made choices. Most audiences like Stefan, because he is kind, but also because he completely restrains the desire to suck blood. But once he accidentally sucked human blood, he couldn't control himself, and the audience began to condemn "Stefan, how can you suck human blood? You are the kind one of the brothers!" Stefan lived like a saint, restraining his desires, Friendly to people... He is like a vampire controlled by the superego, standing on the commanding heights of morality, judging others and even himself, not allowing himself to have those instinctive desires, always restraining, but as long as there is a moment of relaxation , those desires will grow exponentially and wildly, and he can't get them back, so he has been living in self-criticism and can't get out. Damon The evil one of the brothers is loved and hated at the same time. He is a bit selfish and doesn't care too much about the feelings of strangers, but he is willing to give his life for those he cares about. He sucks human blood without killing innocents indiscriminately (at least in the later stage), he sucks human blood to maintain his powerful vampire ability, so that he has the ability to protect the people he cares about. He reconciled his inner instinct with the moral code of not killing humans, and chose to drink human blood from the hospital's blood bank, which not only maintained his own survival, but did not harm others. The ancestor family, the ancestors of vampires, has powerful abilities, fearless, madly sucking human blood, completely unrestrained, causing the hostility of wizards, vampire hunters, werewolves and some vampires... and eventually hunted. Everyone has desire, you can't completely restrain it, and you can't be at the mercy of it. The best way is to use it rationally. If used well, some positive and upward desires may be the fuel for your success.
