I am so touched...

Ok, this post is not going to be a movie/game review. Just now I came across this video that is so true, so touching, I tears in my heart because it touches to the deepest depth. It is a video telling what ultraman had taught us through the tv series. A lot of people might still think that ultraman is childish or it is violent, but they don't know the message that was conveyed to the audience. I notice that as people grow up, they lose faith in what they believe to be true when they are still a child. Soon, they have doubt in them and sometime even denied them. Ultraman series had been going on for 40+ years, yet the message conveyed to us was how to be a better person. Some watched it might get the message and follow the message, but some might not. About this video, it is telling us what each ultraman had taught us. Sorry it is in chinese, so I will put the translation here.

Here is the translation of each message conveyed to us.

Ultraman: He taught us the importance and the meaning of life.
Being the first ultraman that came to earth as a defender, he knew that life is so fragile, yet so precious. Because we live, we have dreams, love, friends and future. Although life can be shattered so easily, but the experiences of all those mentioned above was nevertheless, priceless. Don't give up life, life is very precious because they are things that cannot be gained without being alive.

Ultraseven: He taught us to treasure the un-replacesible things, love and friend.Love and friends, 2 things that is VERY important in a person's life. While ultraseven is on earth, there is no one to help him. Everytime he fights the enemy, he fights them alone. But because the friendships and love from the friends on earth, he continues to protect them. Friendships and love is always the supporting pillar for each one of us, without them, we can collapse anytime there is a storm in our life.

Ultraman Jack: He taught us the true meaning of love.
Brotherly love, parents love, life partner love, etc. There are tons of love in the world, but sometime we take for granted of it or we don't really know the meaning of love. What is love? When our parents nag at us, the words sometime might be harsh, but there is always love deep down in their words. There is a famous qoute in the series that is still echoing in the series and our life, the ultra 5 oath. Not going to say out the whole thing, but the oath through the surface, we won't get the true meaning, only if we look into it, we know that this is the true meaning of love.

Ultraman Ace: He taught us how to trust other people
This is so far the most important lesson we should learnt and even I'm still learning it, trust. Every relationship begin with trust and relationships were able to continue because there is trust. People often don't believe each other, they afraid that that other person might hurt them. This is particularly obvious in Singapore, you can practically see it everywhere, even my mother told me not to trust other people than yourself. See, without trust, there will always be conflicts and wars. Is it so hard to trust other people? So what if you trust the other person and you yourself got hurt? At least you make effort to start/continue a relationship, that person will be at fault because he/she abuse that trust. Even though you were hurt because trusting other people, never give up in trusting people. A little trust can change the world and make the world without stranger, that is what I strongly believe.

Ultraman Taro: He taught us how to independent
Ultraman taro is the youngest among the ultra brothers, thus he depend a lot on his elder brothers. Again, this is especially obvious in singapore. People always depend on the others to do things and help them. They never think of doing the things themselves before seeking for help. Although friends are there for us, but we have to be independent in our lives.

Ultraman Leo: He taught us how to be a person with strong-will.
Ultraman leo, being the only ultraman not from M78 on earth. He was on earth because his home planet was destroyed, thus he vowed to protect earth because it is a second home planet to him. When he is fighting and if he lost, he never give up. He will always train and return with solution. Without a strong will, you tend to give up easily and then just forget about it. To get true success in life, first you must have strong will.

Ultraman 80: He taught us to treasure the unforgetable memories.
No matter what memories we had, bad or good, we should treasure it. We can always take it out from our mind and look at it, we will remember all the sweet and sour of our life. Even it is a bad memories, we can use it as lesson and guide for our life. Just treasure the memories.

Ultraman mebius: you will not fight alone.
This so far another best lesson I've learnt, friends are always with us, with you. Even I got my up and down in life, in the past, I'm always alone when I got my up and down. Not now, I got my buddies, they are always with me to go through all those. Another good quote, "the heart of believing can change impossible to possible" from ultraman mebius. Believe in yourself, your friends, your lover or whoever you can think of, because believing makes impossbile possible. You will not be fighting alone. Even when you fight at the areana, your supporters will be at your back, believing in you, so you must believe in yourself to make it.

This is the message that was conveyed to us by ultraman. Ultraman is not only for entertainment, but also education.
