"People Don't Like to be Meddled With"~ River

Serenity is another movie depicting the destruction of civilizations when the government/ruler attempts to decide what is best for its citizens. Why is it human nature to desire a perfect world? Perfection is subjective in the first place because we all have different ideas of what would be considered supreme. The German Nazi's considered a certain heritage, beliefs and looks as supreme and murdered those who were not in possession of those traits. The Egyptian rulers considered Hebrews inferior, and held them in bondage, in the same way caucasions treated African Americans. Does this make Nazi's, Egyptians and caucasions evil? No, it just makes them people with a desire to create a perfect world, from their subjective view of perfection. I am glad that the Serenity crew suceeded in holding the Alliance back and would compare it to the defeat of Nazism, slavery, and discrimination. It brought freedom from government oppression. I think Wash said it best when he stated, "I'm a leaf...watch how I fly." A leaf is a free object on the breeze and when you're truly free there is no limit to how high you can fly.
