Love is the answer in Avatar
Love is the answer.
That was the conclusion I got while craning my neck backward to watch the humans and Na’vi slaying one another in a bloody painful battle in Avatar.
There were no sides to be taken, because I’m sure nobody likes to see so many lives dead, homes destroyed, natural habitats demolished and trees that contain more interactive cells than the neurons in our brains razed to the ground.
Yet, the war did happen because of human greed. For greed, they’re willing to attack and invade a territory that doesn’t belong to them.
On the other side, trust, comradeship and love bond the Na’vi fiercely and closely. They fight to protect the planet, the people and the animals they love. Yes, even those strange creatures are loved by them.
What do the humans fight for? One person’s ambition? Another’s greed? Do these bond them for life, or only as long as they share the same goal?
Once a Na’vi couple is mated, they mate for life. There are no betrayals in the world they live in.
But betrayed they were.
And amidst the fiery bombings and heartbreaking betrayals, it is love that makes forgiving possible. It is love that heals the emotional wounds, reunite hearts and create miracles.
Love forges alliances and creates trust. Violence and greed, on the other hand, burns bridges and creates mistrust.
It is love that propels one human being to discard his real body and identity to be completely infused into his avatar. The figure that was supposed to represent him. Yet it eventually became him.
Love is the answer.
