"I'm not, I'm not infected. I'm not infected. Please. ... Please take my baby."In these days I set the above word as my signatures of GTalk, MSN and QQ. If you have watched the movie "I AM LEGEND", maybe you would remember it was said by a lady, who seemed obviously infected, with her baby in her arms. She tried to get out of the quarantine area. The soldiers were checking everyone who went by the gate, scanning everyone's eye ball. If they find anyone whose pupil is enlarged, they would not let him or her pass.
Obviously, the lady was infected as blood was almost spreading to her eyes. She tried to get pass with her baby. When she was pushed aside, she tried to explain and said she's not infected. She was trying to gain the chance to get out, for a better chance to live. Then she came to know that she would not be able to get out of it. So even she love her baby very much, she would implore the Lieutenant Robert Neville (Will Smith) to take her baby, because Robert has the right to pass. That's the last scene in that movie about that lady.
Well, as the story kept on going, I was not thinking about that lady or that word. But, sometime after the movie finished, I watch the trailer in the iTune. The word stunned me deeply. After that, this word kept on hovering in my brain. Very Impressive. I just couldn't get them out of my mind.
There are two main reasons:
- The mother's love
She would rather let other take her baby away, enduring the pain of losing her baby. I thought that's love. That's the love to give, to endure, to sacrifice…
- How should Robert choose?
This is one of the hardest choices. Shall he take the baby? At that moment, he was escorting his wife and daughter to be transfer to safe place. They need his help more than anyone else. Maybe he could take the baby and give it to his wife. Let his wife and daughter leave with the baby. It seems feasible in the movie. But, shall they? If they take this lady's baby, how about other ladies' babies? If they don't take any baby, will it be right? It did seem like they could take one more baby with them. This was something I could not know how to do. What should be done? I am confused.
How tough is the decision, when it comes to love? That's something I could not understand. That's something about love. Not just the love to your relatives, it's the love to the mankind in general. When it comes to the love, it's confused. For me, at least...
Love, Confused.

if you really love someone, you certainly know what is good for him/her... but you may still get confused with your choices, why? simply because you are not sure if your choices are good for yourself...
For me, I thought that it is too hard to know what is good for either others or myself. It is too hard to judge something or predict something, especially when think about ethic, destiny, and love.... Sometimes I thought maybe we should only try hard to do what we could, let the future to judge what we deserve.
On the other hand, I really admire the mother holding the baby in the movie "I AM LEGEND". That is love...
