I recently watched a movie, Never Compromise, about a kind of persistence that no one understands, about a way to defend the lawfulness and the most basic interests of the general public through the law. The film tells us about Irene, who, after a series of misfortunes in her life, stumbles into a law firm, finds a strange part of the information, conducts a certain investigation, finds that a certain company has certain illegal practices, and in order to protect the interests of that group of people, starts the process of defending the rights and interests with the lawyer.
This process is hard to understand, she just because she can’t stand what happened to those people. This is no longer just a job for her to make ends meet, not a coping, just because to help those her friends, in order to get back the justice of the world. So she would choose to sacrifice her own happiness, would sacrifice her time with her children, miss their growth, miss their first voice, not be able to go out with them. All because she wanted to do something for those people, something within her power, something in order to get a kind of justice.
The hardest thing to forget in the play is the look in the child’s eyes. It’s hard for a child to understand a job, it’s hard for a child to understand everything in the world. All that matters to them is the companionship of parents who don’t have a life of their own. He didn’t understand his mother’s absence growing up, didn’t understand working so hard, but in the end it wasn’t just for herself. He would go wondering why someone else’s mother didn’t care about him and needed his own mother to deal with all this.
It wasn’t until he saw the profiles and learned that there were children as old as himself while his mother was ill that he began to understand the work of his mother and began to sympathize instead of just being all against it because of the absence of her mother, not resentful because of her absence.
What we see in the film alone is probably only the tip of the iceberg of the difficulties in reality, which has far more difficulties than we can imagine. The pressure encountered in this process is also far beyond our imagination, and people around us will not understand, but will just think whether the final result is in line with their heart’s desire.
The hardships we experience in the midst are not known to others, but only our own dissatisfaction with the current situation and our own conscience. In fact, there are many such examples in life, and many people may not have come forward yet, and there may be more people who are persecuted and dare not speak out, or rather, have been kept in the dark. Perhaps some people are afraid of the trouble, and have long forgotten their original intention when they set out, confined to life, confined to the food and oil, because there is no light, so indifferent.
The good thing is that someone will come forward, she will go to say that justice is in the heart. If the law is to defend our interests, the law will always be on our side, no matter how long it takes.
She will pursue the interests of people and will go and say that the part that is meant to be theirs. Will not compromise with the forces, with life, with the wrong facts.
Listen to your heart and do what you think is right, even though not many people can understand this process, and it seems to be enough to stand up to your heart.
We, too, are not lacking in this kind of never-compromising spirit? Sometimes, why do we choose to compromise?
