those who want to be popular.. cannot hang around with the absolute truth.
those who want to stick with the absolute truth.. cannot be popular.
well the above two lines have little to do with the japanese dorama that vivy successfully recommended to me actually. i just felt like starting with those words.
the dorama was about a kindhearted teacher who could kill with a touch of his hand and a mysterious death-row prisoner who could heal any kind of wound or sickness with a touch of his hand.
those who watch Inuyasha would notice the resemblance.
i don't see too much of a problem with a guy who could kill by touching. maybe because we grow in a country full with stories of some witches who could kill from afar.
but it's definitely problematic when you have someone who could heal with his touch.
the world would bow down to him.. there are people who would do anything, including killing, to be healed.
and i like how this dorama, like some other japanese serials, fleshes out the ugliness of human's greed and desire.
and it brings us to the point of 'killing'.
basically.. often.. we don't kill not because we don't want to do it..
we don't kill because:
1. we don't have the capability, or..
2. we are scared of the consequence (prison, death sentence, hell?)
and we hate to admit or acknowledge that it's the truth.
