Love how Coldplay add this Charlie-speech's intro in his MV!
Original:
"I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.
Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost....
The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.
To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. .....
Soldiers! don’t give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural! Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!
In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: “the Kingdom of God is within man” - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.
Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will!
Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness. Soldiers! in the name of democracy, let us all unite!"
#觉得很有意义
#很多年前的Dictator长这样
#AdolfHitler希特勒
#这个第二次世界大战的演讲竟然到2016还能派上用场
这...说明了什么呢...?
:(
希望那些需要听一听这个演讲的人类们可以听到
for example ISIS for example the greedy politician for example the soldiers who are at war
Still like the people in the MV we are just ordinary people
But he is right, we still have hope if more people come to realize
Today our director and teachers from NYP came to Kitakyushu Technology College.
We were with them throughout their visit in our school. We went to a lab, a bio-engineering lab, where the Japanese professor did his research in there. Then one of our teachers presented everyone (6 or 7 adults plus 3 of us) about the research they are doing currently back in NYP in the bio-engineering field.
So basically, our school want to collaborate with KTC together for some mega project in the bio-engineering field. We were all listening to the teacher about the project, FYI as I studied Biomedical for my Mechatronics specialization, I learned that this field is cruel in some kind of area. How they tested the medicine or toxicity with the animals, how they use them for experiment...and etc
Then one of the project teacher mentioned about Singapore famous chili crab. He said our school is currently researching on soft-shell crab, basically is to find a way to produce more soft-shell crab. Then I ask the teacher why have to do this leh. He said because people find crab shell too hard to eliminate, which is true, and the crab will have a period where it will remove its old shell and grow a new one, so that time the shell of the crab will be soft. So they are finding a way to increase crabs or like make the crab maintain the period so that people can have more soft-shell crab.
hmm.. ting qi lai hai man you dao li de.
Haih, but 我个人觉得就是。。(english too hard to express)
bio engineering this field 就是可以看到人类自私的一面,可以为了一点自己的方便就乱乱改别人的基因,掌握了技术就好像是上帝
of course some is for the benefit of human kinds, like cloning, but 因为想贪个更容易吃到的方便随便去打扰别家原先有的定律,感觉有点不应该,
但...其实拿动物做实验也很不应该,但不做实验又会提高危害人类人体的风险,
就像过多杀生捕鱼也都危害大自然,但我们就还是照吃啊 因为要补充蛋白质 因为好吃
那你说你吃素不杀生 但植物没有办法发出声音乱动 就应该开开心心被吃掉吗
不过。。。话是那么说 食物我大概还是会照样吃。。但 但愿我会记得它的牺牲 时时尊重被吃掉的它 不要浪费就好..............................................
