To give without expecting anything in return. One life given, to seven lives that can live without burden. He lost his wife on his watch, and gave back what he felt was owed. He "moped" because of the fear of dieing, knowing what his purpose was, knowing that he was not going to turn back. This film was a beautiful film.. It's complex to understand how you could not love this film for what it is. Though it's fictional, it really makes you look at things with more appreciation.
