Forgive me..sometimes my emotions get very carried away by anime.... But this touched my heart and drew tears to my eyes...I guess i mentioned about this anime Jigoku Shouju some time back...Its about a hell girl who carries grudges to hell...Hell girl , Enma Ai, will give you a voodoo doll. If u have decided to send your antagonist to hell, you will pull the string. However, you have to go to hell too.the anime made me think and ponder about human nature. All the 7 sins. Greed..vainty..jealousy..lust...Hatred....the most killing of all..i guess its hatred...People are soo blind in their own world of hatred..that they forgotten how to forgive....People also have forgotten about the karma.... We are only human i guess.... I felt for her. Her sorrow. Used as a sacrifice for some ancient ceremony by selfish and foolish villagers. Unable to forgive and leave in peace. She burnt her whole village. In atone for her sin, she has to take on a job as hell girl. If she doesnt do the job, her soul n the souls of her loved ones will wander in forever eternity in hell. She has to carry grudges to hell. For hundreds of years, she has sent many to hell..Her heart cried when she sent the innocence to hell. There are some who just pulled the string of the voodoo doll to sent their antagonist to hell over small things... Sigh...why soo rash?
Some did it over a misunderstanding...those are just mere miscommunication... My heart broke about the story where an abused mother had no choice but to send her violent and abusive husband to hell. She has no choice then. He was about to hurt both her n her daughter.She pulled the string.Without much spoken about the mother's contact with the hell girl, her daughter misunderstood her mother under the influence of her grand mother who dislike her daughter in law. Hated by her own daugther. Her daughter contacted hell girl and was given a voodoo doll. It was the daughter's turn to send her mother to hell. And so was she sent to hell? Lets not do any spoiler.In takuma's story. His encounters truly touched Ai's heart. For some reasons, he was made to be hated by the entire town. Those who were close to him met with mishaps. What he has been through was exactly the way Ai was treated hundreds of years back. Unable to send him to hell. She broke the rule....Sigh..After watching the whole 2 seasons of this anime , it made me see the ugly side of humans. One's selfishness can cause pain to others. Why cant people spare a thought?
The origin of sorrow is desire. A desire for something in their lives. They took steps tat may indirect or directly cause harm to others. Sigh
Sometimes perhaps..if one is able to open the eyes....they will see light and able to forgive...The anime is not all tat sorrowful...there are some who managed to see light and decided to forgive...
Its hard to forgive someone. Its even harder to forgive your own self. Being unable to forgive...you may one day fall into your own painful world...
Im no angel myself either.There are things which i cant forgive either... But still i live my life by knowing tat whatever bad things that i do, it will come back to me. Tat is why im not afraid when pple let me down and trample me into pieces. I believe they will get back what they have given to me in due time....
