The final post

I caught Deathnote, the anime a few months ago and the anime is much better than the movie as it explains certain parts which the movie was unable to explain as the movie was only 3 hours and could not simply compress the information overload. I was impressed with the way the plot took shape on how a student started to play God when he was given a notebook and he used it to kill criminals by writing their names on the deathnote book and soon misused it when he wrote down the names of the officers who were investigating the case to deter the police force from continuing their investigation. The fact that he went to the extent of killing his own father showed that he was already playing God.

Although the lead character, Kira had good intentions of wiping out evil, he soon misused it and I felt nobody has the right to judge a person unless he's God. Many people would argue that Kira had made the world a better place as there were no crimes taking place but he has also created a climate of fear where people do not dare do anything that might get them killed. Free will is one important quality which is given to every human being and if we do not possess that one quality, we are worse than animals.

Sad but true. The majority of people I know do not possess the free will as they are afraid to lose out. When your life is decided by other people's decisions, that's the start of the slow journey. The very few who possess the free will do not give in easily and easily have enemies all over the place but they earn the admiration and respect of others and their respect.

I guess humilation is another quality which most people do not have. The difficult part of attaining success is not maintaing it but rather being humble about it. When you are humble about your achievements, you are on the path to greatness as people will respect you. People will remember a certain Hitler and even Axl Rose who let fame be their undoing and I guess this quality is one defining mark of a great man.
