A lovely evening it was yesturday with a friend, to indulge on a movie that was deemed 'not nice one...' Well, I was still looking foward to watch it because the trailer that was shown countless times on TV Mobile had captivated me to this epic movie.
Like what I told my friend, "For those who does not have a take-home message after the show, this movie sucks for them, but for those who does learn something, the film is a beautiful story."
Fortunately, this show doesn't sucks for me. The take-home message was what my mentor had always thought me, 'There's no right and wrong; no morals and laws in this world. There's only Cosmoethics. The movie had clearly illustrated it through the lives of three sworn brothers.
For those who watched it, at the end of the day they'll find it very hard to identify who is the bad guy, good guy; the heroes or the villains. And even if they do identify it, it may be just for the sake of identifying. Well, it's so hard because, there's no such things as good guy or bad guy. How can you identify if there's no such things that exist to start with?
To understand this further, Cosmoethics must come into the picture. Well, Hilarion commented on my high Cosmoethic standards! Basically, Cosmoethics means acting towards benefiting the most one can gets. And the benefits here does not refers to your own but for as many people as possible. Many aspects of life can be learnt while evolving towards the high levels of Cosmoethics: Sacrifice, Courage, Faith, Love and so on... It works hand in hand with Karma; it is a spiritual need, a key towards Evolution.
You may need to know the storyline first before proceeding.
Pang, the Big Brother, ordered the massarce of 4000 surrendered soldiers. Shooting them endlessly, until all screamed helplessly to their deaths, and chained up the Second Brother who opposes his decision because he promised to free the soldiers. This portrays Pang as an evil guy who killed senselessly, immoral and inhuman. But is he wrong? Is he wrong if the sacrifice of 4000 people will save millions of others?
Pang decides to kill Second Brother. This act, by its very nature is unlawful and immoral. But what if it results to better lives for millions other? Will it still sound as bad as it is?
To decide on what is the most beneficial of all, is what Cosmoethics is about.
When Second Brother wanted to risk his life by entering beyond enemy's gate alone to end the seige, wasn't he foolish?
When Third Brother killed the dame hoping it would prevent the death of Second Brother, wasn't he foolish too?
This explains why right and wrong does not exist. Because of the fact that what happened, should happens. Reality is the truth and cannot be argued over. Big Brother took away many innocent lives, he should killed them. Second Brother risked his life, he should risked his life. Third Brother kills the dame, he should damn kills the dame! All of them killed one another in the end, they should kill off one another.
Let's put it this way, everyone did what he thinks is the right thing to do. He thinks he is right; she thinks she is right; even if both disagreed and fought till their deaths, they are not wrong! It is only 'right' that one should do what he/she thinks is the right thing to do.
Everyone is right because at their own personal level of Cosmoethics, he/she is doing what he/she thinks is the best thing to do. And because we are ourselves, we arn't him or her, we can never judge something that is not us. When you think he had done wrong, is it really true? Can you absolutely be sure about that? Then what you really mean is, if I am him and did what he did, I judge myself wrong. When you're wrong, it doesn't means he is wrong too. Don't you think it sound selfish if you look at it that way?
A world where everyone is neither right and wrong, is truly beautiful. We just do what we should do, no restrains, no judgments, no fear.
