Reflective Essay on 'Spring'

     I saw a video about a short part of the movie 'Spring'. I will tell you a brief summary about it. A young monk tortured 3 different animals by tying stones to them. The older monk saw that and tied a stone to the little monk as a punishment. The little boy suffers from the rock and went to save the animals he tortured yesterday. Most of them were dead and the little boy learns a lesson. I guess that this video's lesson is not to hurt creatures.

     I remember some other similar experiences like this situation. I captured some frogs I found in a big pond. Those frogs were very miniature unlike any other normal frogs. Also, they were so cute. Me and my brother went there and caught them. We made a home for them, but I guess they didn't like it. For some reason my brother's frog ran away at night, but at morning a cruel thing happened. My brother's frog was standing on the floor dead. It was because of the heat. The frog needed some water to stay wet. And when it came out, he couldn't go back in so he got burnt to death. His corpse was crispy and black. I can't believe this stressed the frogs so much that they wanted to die. Now, I know that it really tortures them; I let them be free in the pond. From that day on, I only went to the pond to watch the frogs and wet away. The only difference about my experience and the video is the punishment. I didn't get a punishment, but the young monk did. I think I am better than him because I taught myself without any scolding or punishments.

     In conclusion, I think that the real lesson is that we should not hurt others even the tiniest ants. Because it will kill them, torture them and annoy them. The movie 'Spring Summer Fall Winter and Spring' is a very good movie even though I didn't watch it. I can tell by only watching 'Spring'. I compared my experience about this video so I can learn new lessons from my experience and the video's topic.
