Last Gasp

Hot 6740 views. 2018-5-13 12:27

Recently, I' ve been recommended to watch a British TV series, which is called< Inside No.9 >.The TV play is fantastic. And I want to tell one story to you.

In one No.9 home, a family was preparing a birthday party for its little girl who was badly ill and cannot live long. Because of it, the girl' s mother sent an invitation to a pop star, who was one of the most popular singers at that time. The superstar accepted and came there with his bodyguard and agent. It was a lovely story. However, everything changed when the superstar died for blowing a balloon for the little girl to celebrate the girl's birthday. It was ridiculous that the father and the other two comers refused to rescue the star just because they found one truth. That is that the balloon in girl' s hand was the superstar 's last gasp in this world. It must be expensive in the market. They even searched the Internet to find its price, compared with Justin Bieber' s hair and Michael Jackson' s gloves. After the comfirmation of the gasp's high price, the three men started an argumentation about the distribution of profit. When they were quarreling violently, the noise around the' dead' star's body caught their attention. After a check, they found the singer was not dead but dying. Normally, people at that time may choose to wait for the ambulance to save this poor guy. However, these three men neglected this basic responsibility. After tossing a coin, they let the bodyguard carry out the task--- to kill the superstar, in order to reserve their profit. And then the man did so and the superstar died just because of his last gasp.

I only introduced the front part of this story. The story is full of transition which makes people surprised. I think it is a very ironic story, in which some people choose to kill an innocent man just because of money. It points out the strain of human beings. Being faced with interest, some people can lose their standards of morality without any shame. This is human nature, which is cruel and dirty.

Some people's nature is dark and twisted and they will get the punishment they deserve. Sometimes one person's death is not natural, it often has a huge conspiracy bethind it.

In fact, there are many people who are grim and dark in the society. However, we usually pay more attention to the good aspect so that most of us cannot realize the dark side of human nature.

No matter what time, something ridiculous is happening and will happen in  the future. The society never lacks ironic stories but the only Hope is that we ourselves won't be the chief character of a story.

In fact, I can't understand one person who says truth will get punishment eventually. And I don't know what kind of the standard of this society actually.

I think your opinion is right. Human nature is really hard to say. I even doubt that the death of the star maybe was a murder

There is standards of morality in this world so that our society can advance. However, for some people, at some specific point refuse to follow the rules, which shows the dark side of human.

Yeah, your friend has good taste. The TV series is good at expressing the dark side of human. I think you can try it.

I really hope that we won't become these poor guys whose goals are just money and money. It is inevitable that we need to keep our morality.

I totally agree with yours. We cannot eradicate the dark side of our human nature because we are humans ,but we can choose to foucus on good aspects .

This is a real part of our society. There exist many people just figuring for self-interest without caring about others. I think whatever other people do, we should keep a kind and warm heart.
