Looking at things from another angle - reading "Prometheus Stealing Fire"

Prometheus in ancient Greek mythology is a kind and brave god. He robbed the flames for humanity, but he was criticized by Zeus. In the eyes of Zeus, he is a bad god who violates the rules of the earth and should be punished. In the eyes of people, he is a kind, brave and full of justice. Therefore, people admire him.

The word "stealing" is generally used by the bad guys who steal other people's things. Is it a disrespect for him to use piracy in Prometheus for theft of human beings? No, it is full of gratitude and admiration for him. The same "stealing" word, used in different people, its meaning is completely different!

I think of a story I saw when I was young: In a country, the king had a whimsy: put all the roads in the country on the road, so that the shoes are not clean! He ordered a minister to do this, for a period of one month. The minister thought hard and did not figure out a way. No one could put the roads of the country on the cloth in a month! He and the King said that the King was very unhappy and lowered his official position by three. The king ordered another minister to do this. The minister invented a shoe cover in a different way. Just put the shoe cover on the cloth, isn't it the way to go? He told the king about the idea. The king not only did not punish him, but also rewarded him. The same thing, changing the angle to think, the results are not the same.

No matter what, right or wrong, good and bad, beauty and ugliness. As long as you think about it from another angle, the conclusions and opinions you get are different. As Da Wenhao Su Dongpo wrote, "Looking at the side of the mountain into a peak, the distance is different." So we are dealing with things. Also use a comprehensive, multi-angle perspective.
