Better Hypocrisy Than Inaction [Fullmetal Alchemist #QuoteNote22]
The quote I would like to introduce today is this!
Hypocrisy is fine!!
Better to do hypocrisy than to do no good at all!
Who said it?
Yuri Rockbell
What kind of person is he?
He is a fictional character who appears in the manga "Fullmetal Alchemist." He is a doctor and the father of the heroine, Winry Rockbell.
Background
Are you familiar with the manga "Fullmetal Alchemist"? Although it finished serialization in 2010, it is a masterpiece that is still talked about today.
"Fullmetal Alchemist" is a masterpiece that contains various themes, but it is also a manga that depicts war.
Winry Rockbell used her knowledge as a doctor to go to enemy territory, knowing the dangers, to save the injured.
However, she was insulted as a "hypocrite!"
At that point, she declared,"Hypocrisy is fine!! Better to do hypocrisy than to do no good at all!" and continued her medical practice in accordance with her own beliefs.
"No good at all" is synonymous with doing nothing. Words and actions only have meaning when they reach the other person.
That is precisely why, even if it is considered hypocrisy, one should follow their own beliefs and straightforwardly carry out the actions they believe are "good."
This implicitly shows that "action" is more important than any words.
Even when told to "act before you think," I think most people just feel like "Hmm" or "That's true, I guess."
However, the phrase "Hypocrisy is fine!! Better to do hypocrisy than to do no good at all!" has a certain intensity that resonates directly with the heart, even if you don't quite understand why.
Anyone can say anything, but I think there are few people who can hold beliefs in their own way of thinking and actually put them into action.
When you intuitively feel in your heart that you are right, but you are afraid because you don't know what those around you will think, why not try remembering this quote?
Hypocrisy is fine!!
Better to do hypocrisy than to do no good at all!
