Just finished watching Princess Mononoke, a classic Japanese animation. Not really suitable for young children though because there were scenes that were gruesome, human parts flying off bodies and blood spilling everywhere. But the plot of the animation touches my heart in the deepest place. It reminded strongly about how human beings are destroying nature for their own greed, not practicing sustainability and disregarding the fact that nature is not able to heal itself quick enough to keep in pace of the destroying. The protagonist, Ashitaka, in this story is like the middle-man for both the humans and nature, wanting peace instead of the battle to take place to see who owns the rich land. But in the end, the humans finally see the destruction they had brought to the land they were on.
Miyazaki Kantoku says the following:
"We are not trying to solve the global problems. There can not be a happy ending to the fight between the Raging Gods and humans. However, even in the middle of hatred and killings, there are things worth living for. A wonderful meeting, or a beautiful thing can exist."

I wish to see the world through eyes of Innocence...
