"The Man of the Kite Chasing": the goodness and evil of human nature, only between the thoughts

Author:Ten o'clock reading Time:2022.08.30

The famous philosopher Nietzsche once said: "Man is a rope, between the superman and the beasts."

Humanity, never withstand testing, it will be more terrible than you think.

The book "Kite Chase" is known as a book of best -selling global miracles, which shows the complexity and darkness of human nature to the fullest.

Amir and Hassan are the closest friends. Hassan is loyal and brave, just thinking about Amir.

However, after a kite game, Amir betrayed Hassan because of selfishness and cowardice.

This made Amir unable to forgive himself after adulthood. After experiencing inner struggle and inquiry, he eventually moved towards the road of self -salvation.

After reading this book, we will find that in fact, everyone will escape, jealous, and prejudice like Amir.

These are part of human nature, but what is important is how we will choose.

Selfishness is the biggest inferior root of human nature

Amir is a rich man. Hassan is the son of his servant. They have lived together since childhood, inseparable, and feel together.

Hassan was very loyal to Amir, and he never refused any request of Amir.

And, as long as Amir is hurt, Hassan will stand up without hesitation.

However, Hassan's intentions did not get a corresponding return, but instead got teasing, deception and betrayal.

Hassan was unknown, but he was very fascinated by the text. He often asked Amir to study for him, but Amir deliberately used the words that Hazan didn't understand.

Not only that, Amir even regarded Hassan's loyalty as a tool to win the respect and love of his father.

Hassan is a master of kites. In Afghanistan, the annual kite competition champion is a symbol of brave and capable in people's minds.

Therefore, Amir wanted to be the champion of the game and made his father proud of him.

After learning about Amir's thoughts, Hassan tried his best to help Amir win the championship and also won the attention of his father.

However, on the way back to picking a kite, Hassan was stopped by the bully Aceff. In order to protect Amir's kite not being snatched, he was insulted.

This scene was seen by Amis, who came to find Hassan, but he did not step forward to help Hassan, but secretly slipped away.

He felt that nothing in the world was free. In order to get his father's praise, Hassan had to pay.

There is such a sentence: "There are two things in the world that cannot be directly seen, one is the sun, and the other is human heart."

Selfishness is the nature of humanity and the darkest side of human nature.

In life, there are always people who do not hesitate to cause harm to others for their own selfish desires.

However, it was taken for granted that people were not for themselves, and they were destroyed.

When we just think about ourselves, we do not consider others, one day we will be isolated and desperate.

Conscience is the bottom line of human beings, character, and the principle of life.

Even if the world is cold, we can still keep our hearts warm.

Jealousy is a rope that ties for yourself

In Amir's eyes, his father is a powerful figure of Kong Wu, just like a hero, he admires his father very much.

However, Amir's personality is a bit weak, he only likes to read and write quietly.

His father hated Tie Steel a little about Amir, and he preferred to the heroic Hassan.

In order to change Amir, his father decided to take him to watch the competition.

In the competition, Amir saw a knight, fell from immediately, was torn by Ma Qun, and the bloody blood stained the sand.

Amir cried loudly, and he would never forget that his father's disgusting expression when he saw him.

After returning, Amir heard his father said to his friend Rasinhan:

"Whenever those neighbor's children bullied Amir, Hasan always came forward and stopped him back.

I think Amir is missing something on his body. If I hadn't looked at him with his own eyes, he would definitely not believe that he was my son. "

Hearing such words, Amir had a sourness in his heart and could not help but be jealous of Hassan.

On Hasan's birthday, Amir's father found a plastic surgeon for him to help him cure rabbit lips.

This makes Amir more jealous of Hasan, and he even hopes that he has similar disability, so that his father may pay more attention to him.

Although, after winning the kite -chasing competition, Amir won his father's appreciation and pet as he wished, and was able to enjoy a happy time with his father.

However, he was afraid that Hassan would take away his father's love again, and the existence of Hassan was like a sword hanging on his head, making it difficult for him to sleep.

So, while Hasan was absent, Amir put his father's birthday watches and some money in Hasan's room, slandering Hasan to steal.

The loyal Hassan acknowledged all this to maintain Amir.

Hassan's father did not want his son to be wronged again, and took Hassan's home with Hassan.

After that, Amir has always been guilty, but he has no courage to tell the truth.

The writer said: "Some people, even if you don't offend him, he will be jealous of you, slander you, and even want to destroy you."

Such people often only see what others have, but ignore what they get.

When a person is jealous, he often has a mentality of "since I have a bad time, and others want to have a good time".

Seeing other people's achievements, I always do everything possible;

Seeing that others live well, you always want to step on your feet. However, the result of this, not only did the heart not be liberated, but they would suffer from suffering, causing themselves to be in pain and unable to extricate themselves.

Only by letting go of jealousy and admitting the excellence of others can the road of life go wider and wider.

Prejudice is a mountain that cannot be read

On the way home, Amir and Hassan were stopped by Aceff.

Aceff said to Amir:

"Afghanistan is the territory of the Pashto people.

The Hazarians pollute our land, our country, and stains our blood. "

Acef believes that Amir should not play with Hassan, can't talk to Hassan, and become friends with Hassan.

At that moment, Amir suddenly realized that he did not treat Hassan as a real friend.

Although he grew up with Hassan since he was a child, he was like a brother.

But every time his father's friend brought their children to visit, he never called Hasan to play together. Only when there was no one around him, he was with Hassan.

Because in his opinion, he is a noble Pashtu, and Hassan is a low -cheap Hazara, which is like history and cannot be changed.

There is such a line in the movie "Nezha": "The prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain, and you want to move how you work hard."

The deep -rooted prejudice will form a inherent thinking pattern, which allows us to lose our judgment of facts.

Looking at things with an biased eyes will deviate from "fairness" unknowingly.

Because some things are not what we see, we may not be able to understand some truths.

Unknown full picture, no comment.

Only less prejudice and learning to think in other places can we respect and understand the differences between others.

The choice of good and evil, only between one thought

Because of the outbreak of Afghanistan's war, Amir followed his father to immigrate to the United States and began a new life.

Suddenly one day, Amir received a call from his father's long -term friend Rasinhan, and he said to Amir;

"Come on, here is the way to become a good person again."

It turned out that Rhinhan always knew those secrets.

He knew that Amir escaped because of cowardice after the kite, and also knew that the watch was that Amir deliberately framed Hassan.

Under the call of Rasunhan, after many years, Amir returned to his homeland again.

After the two met, Rindhan told Amir that Hassan was actually the brother of Amir's father.

Today, Hassan and his wife have died, so he hopes that Amir can adopt Hasan's son Sorap.

Faced with such the truth, Amir was unacceptable, and his first reaction was to refuse.

However, Amir recalled everything he had done to Hassan and has been living in guilt over the years.

At this time, he seemed to be standing in one fork, one was the road of guilty, and the other was the road of atonement and rebirth.

In the end, Amir chose the latter.

After several turns, Amir found Sora Bolbo in the former deadly enemy of Acef. Soraber was played by Aceff as a pet, thin bones, frightened.

In order to rescue Solabo, Amir was beaten for omonic, and with the help of Solabo, the two fled.

At the end of the story, Amir returned to the United States with Solabo and let him live with himself.

There is such a sentence in "Zuo Zhuan": "Goodness must not be lost, evil must not grow."

Human nature is complicated and good and evil.

Some people have become Buddhas, and some people think of themselves.

Each of us has a bright and dark side, but the important thing is, which side we choose.

As the saying goes: "Drawing a dragon and painting tiger is difficult to draw bones, knowing people and knowing your face."

Since ancient times, human heart has been unpredictable, and human nature has been multi -faceted.

But in any case, I hope we should not forget the kindness in our hearts.

As Roman Roland said: "Being good with good people will make it better."

After all, goodwill will evoke more goodwill, and kindness will definitely meet more kindness.

May we all maintain our original intentions, be kind, live up to ourselves, and live up to time.
