Minority Report

Do you recall in the movie "Minority Report", the precogs would foresee murders that are going to happen and the future cops would arrest these "criminals" who would have committed the murders, before they did commit them. However, Tom Cruise in the movie also showed that actually these people had a choice even at the critical moment whether they would kill, be it out of revenge, out of envy, out of anger, etc. So is the thought of killing alone be sufficient to warrant an arrest?

I have once read from somewhere: everyone has good and not so good thoughts, but the difference is that "bad" people have bad thoughts and they go on to carry out bad actions while good people only think about it but do not carry it out. When was the last time something not so nice crossed your mind but eventually you choice not to carry it out because it's not the right thing to do?

Is the thought of stealing the same as stealing?
Is the thought of murder the same as murder?
Is the thought of cheating the same as cheating?
Is the thought of lying the same as lying?

在远方的城市里,来了一个老人。这位老人一看便可知是来自远方的旅人,因为他背着一个破旧不堪的包袱,他的脸上布满了风霜,他的鞋子因为长期的行走,破了好几个洞。

值得注意的是,老人的外表虽然狼狈,却有着一双炯炯有神的眼睛,不论是行走火躺卧,他总是仔细而专注的观察着来来往往的人。

老人的外貌与双眼组合成一个极不和谐的画面,吸引了路上所有人的目光,人们窃窃私语:这不是普通的旅人,他一定是一个特殊的寻找者。但是,老人到底在寻找什么呢?一些好奇的年轻人忍不住问他:“您究竟在寻找什么呢?”

老人说:“我像你们这个年纪的时候,就发誓要寻找到一个完美的女人,娶她为妻。于是我从自己的家乡开始寻找,一个城市又一个城市,一个村落又一个村落,但一直到现在都没有找到一个完美的女人。”“您找了多长的时间呢?”一个年轻人问道。“找了60多年了。”老人说。“难道60多年来都没有找到一个完美的女人吗?”会不会这个世界上根本就没有完美的女人呢?那您不是找到死也找不到吗?”

“有的!这个世界上真的有完美的女人,我在30年前曾经找到过。”老人斩钉截铁的说。

“那么,您为什么不娶她为妻呢?”

“在30年前的一个清晨,我真的遇到了一个最完美的女人,她的身上散发出非凡的光彩,就好像仙女下凡一般,她温柔而善解人意,她细腻而体贴,她善良而纯净,她天真而庄严,她。。。。。。”

老人边说,边陷进深深的回忆里。

年轻人更着急了:“那么,您为何不娶她为妻呢?”

老人忧伤地流下眼泪:“我立刻就向她求婚了,但是她不肯嫁给我。”

“为什么?为什么?”。

“因为,因为她也在寻找这个世界上最完美的男人呀!”

Is it really crucial who came along FIRST?

Hmmm...this caption set a few people thinking whether it's asking about whether the chicken or the egg came first...

Nope it's not...it's about human relationship...does it matter who came first, who came second? Or it is about who is the last that matters?
