We should always stand up for the truth!

  

  “She is a witch! She is a witch! ……” Bertolt Brecht’s Galileo was over. I saw this play last night at The Black Box Theater. The play is amazing, and all actors are hard working. To be honest I cannot understand all of he play, however I definitely learned something from the play, and I want to talk about two of them. I think those two things would help a lot. Let’s see what are they.

    The first, I consider that we should have the courage to againt the authority. In the play, this stoy is happened at the time period when religion was higher than science. However Galileo found something new, and those things are againsting the Bible. Everyone did not believe him besides his one student. Finally they puted him in the jail, so he had to give all his notes to his student. As we can see he dare to say the truth even though it would against the authority. I think we should all learn this courage. In our real life espicaily in China, most of students do not have their own thoughts. They always copy from the book; do what teacher ask them to do with out thinking; just follow rules. All of those things is killing Chinese progess. If everone just copy and fellow rules, what is the difference between us and robots? I suggest that everone should say out the different ideas of everthing, and be independent. We cannot get better and better without innovation. Every scientist did not know if they would lead a revolution before they finish one.

    Second one, we should define every truth by our own experiene. As we all see, in the play everone think the bible is the truth. However they do not test it. Everone believed that earth was the center of the universe, however Galileo found out sun is the center.  I remember Galileo tries to tell them that you should trust your own feeling by throwing a stone in the ground and he says that nothing is drouped. Things like those happen everyday. For example, my friend tells that it is cold outside. When I go out, I feel so warm, however I already bring my coat withme. I believe things like cold and warm happen in everyone’s life. I consider that we should always test before we define something as the truth, and this will help us to know what the real truth is. Then we can help everyone around us. I believe if we do the test every time we will make a big change in our life. Suspect the thing before you trust it.

    At last, I want to say thank you to everyone who work hard for this play, and I hope everyone can find the truth and say it out. Even though we will have so many troubles and problems when we tell others our thoughts, we still need to say and never give up, just like Galileo.
