Chapter 1319 1319 Waiting for a Change
In the past, Hugo had always had a hard time understanding the so-called sense of social responsibility, because in his opinion, it was almost impossible to change the society with the power of one person, not to mention, he lived in the society most of the time. At the bottom, even his own life is already extremely difficult, how can he have the power to change the society. Of course, this is also related to domestic education and his politics. Political sensitivity and social responsibility are clearly not enough.
However, with the advancement of life, the precipitation of years and the change of position, Hugo's perspective began to change gradually. It is true that it is very difficult to change society by relying on the power of individuals, but if everyone thinks this way, then who should change this society?
Children will eventually grow into adults, and adults will eventually become part of society, and then stand in their own position and make changes to society. Not everyone is a scientist, not everyone is a president, not everyone is a billionaire, but society is made up of countless ordinary individuals.
The charity event this time, and the media resistance movement not long ago, have all proved this.
In the face of birth, old age, sickness and death, the power of human beings is really too small. Just like the cancer of Jenny and Hayes, even in 2014, there is still no way to say that it can be cured 100%, but at least in the future, cancer will no longer be a terminal illness. It is being beaten by science, and scientists are finding ways to beat the disease.
The so-called charity activities are not only to give children comfort and joy, but also to try their best to continue their lives under the existing conditions, to try their best to allow them to survive where scientists can get along with them, and to give scientists enough environment and conditions for them to develop and research.
Maybe not everyone is a doctor, and not every doctor has the ability to develop effective new drugs, let alone a doctor who can completely defeat cancer. It's a long cumulative process in which everyone can contribute their power.
Maybe it's a donation of one dollar a day, maybe it's a volunteer activity that brings an hour of joy to the patient, maybe it's a seed of hope planted in the heart... Society will not change because of one person, but society will because of Countless "one person" efforts to change.
The same is true of the media revolt not so long ago, which appeared to be triggered by Hugo's accident during the filming of "Death Row", but in fact it was the result of numerous These seemingly unrelated small events are gradually connected in series, reaching a critical point of qualitative change subtly, and then detonated by the Hugo incident, which promotes the progress of society.
Relying on the power of Hugo alone, trying to shake the uncrowned king's centuries-long rule of public opinion is an absolute fantasy; relying only on the power of a young volcano, and wanting the entire society to pay attention to the status quo of the news media, It's also an absolute joke.
However, with one person and one person, when everyone in the society focuses their attention, a single spark can start a prairie fire, and a small incident can also trigger a tsunami.
The sense of social responsibility, this kind of waste that seems to be of no help to one's own life, it can neither help oneself pay rent, nor heal one's illness, and even waste one's precious time. But in fact, a little sense of social responsibility can become a decisive force to move society and change the world.
As a public figure, his power often increases exponentially. He not only has the ability to change the society, but also has the ability to call on more companions to change the society together.
Facing Jenny's questioning, Hugo was speechless, and he couldn't do anything. He was not a doctor who could treat pain. He couldn't even explain "what is death" to Jenny correctly, but Hugo knew that, His concern for his efforts and his persistence are not in vain.
He can sponsor charitable organizations within his ability, and the salary of a movie may save hundreds of families; he can organize charitable activities to raise more funds for sick children and give them better It also promotes the development and research of new drugs; he can be a platform for charitable activities, use his influence to attract the attention of more people in the society, and gather the scattered forces of the society to form a greater thrust.
He wanted to be a stepping stone for little Jenny to change her own destiny, even if his strength was so slight.
Just like Bill Gates, when he became the richest man in the world, he could be said to be rich enough to rival the country, but such huge wealth is just a number for him, so he spends huge funds every year to support charitable activities. , and then use his influence to gain more attention for charities and drive social change.
This is called social responsibility.
When Hugo gradually stepped into the ranks of the top superstars, the social responsibility on his shoulders naturally began to become heavy.
Although Hugo had known the meaning of the name "public figure" before, it was only recently that he really felt the power and role of this identity from the bottom of his heart. Every move of a public figure attracts attention, and can even have an impact on teenagers' outlook on life, values, and worldview. Just like Hugo embarked on the road of a rock band because of the Beatles, there must be countless teenagers and children in the future because of When they grow up, they become social representatives and continue to change the world.
Many people have always misunderstood the identity of artists, whether it is in European and American countries or eastern countries, and even professional entertainment reporters, they always regard artists as "players", packaged goods, and carriers of interests, he said. The ugly point is that it is sold. So they condemned the bad behavior of the artist as a public figure, they condemned the artist for not taking enough social responsibility, and they condemned the negative image of the artist for having a bad influence on society.
This is a fact.
But Hugo believes that this idea is still a generalization.
"Me and my friends, we've all been misunderstood, they said we're nothing, we can't do anything, and now we find out everything is wrong, the world and the man who ties him, we just feel like there's no way, go surpass and defeat them.
So we have been waiting, waiting for the world to change (Waiting. On. The. World. To. Change); we have been waiting, waiting for the world to change. It's hard to beat a system when we're at a distance, so we've been waiting, waiting for the world to change. "
Changing society is a big proposition. Not everyone is a hero of DC Comics, and not everyone can sacrifice themselves and save the world like Superman. Because society is such a huge machine, it is not easy for many people to see the whole picture of the machine.
But this does not mean that they refuse to assume the corresponding social responsibility, they are just waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to use their own strength to make changes.
"Now if we have the strength to get our neighbors out of the war, they won't have to miss Christmas anymore, and they won't have to mourn their families. If you believe what's on TV, you're doing it all over again, because when they have the information, they can do whatever they want. Twist it. That's why we wait, wait for the world to change; we've been waiting, wait for the world to change."
Just like the witch trial incident, Hugo stood up bravely, not only to clarify Michael Jackson's innocence, but also to lay the foundation for the resistance action not long ago, so when the opportunity came, the whole society began to face it squarely. The current problem of the news media, society has begun to change.
Just like today's charitable activities, Hugo knew that he should stand up, and he also knew that he should pay more and use his meager strength to make some efforts for these innocent and innocent souls. He did not expect himself to be the savior of the world. But he is willing to assume his corresponding social responsibility. Perhaps, one day in the future, the society he changed will change him in turn.
"It's not that we don't care, it's just that we know this fight is not fair, so we've been waiting, waiting for the world to change; we've been waiting, waiting for the world to change. One day our generation will take over the world, So we've been waiting, waiting for the world to change; we've been waiting, waiting for the world to change."
This is an unfair battle between the individual and the society. It is like the power of the individual to fight the disease and death. This is also an unfair battle. Even doctors are not omnipotent, and they have no way to directly fight the disease. Rescuing a patient from the god of death requires an individual's will to survive, the development of drugs and surgical technology, and the training of doctors' skills... For individuals, this battle is too disparate and difficult.
But Hugo will not disarm and surrender, he will wait, waiting for the day when the world changes, and use his own strength to promote the change of society little by little. Sooner or later, Hugo will grow into the middle class of society, just like Barack-****** (Barack. Obama) who is still unknown now, if he doesn't work hard, how can he be able to Take control of a country and change the world?
To be a singer, to be an actor, to be a good singer and an actor... Hugo is realizing his dream step by step, and the journey is so wild, so happy, so happy. And now it's his turn to give, he should use his own efforts to help children like Jenny realize their dreams.
"Waiting. On. The. World. To. Change", Hugo is willing to be a member of the waiting, he is also willing to be a member of the dedication, he is also willing to be a member of the change. Just because Jenny's smile is so strong and beautiful, and because the colorful windmill spinning fast in the wind is the most beautiful scenery in the world, and he wants to be a part of it.
