Terminator Salvation

I watched Termination Salvation. It was the year 2018, where John Connor participates in a major Resistance to assault a Skynet network in order to obtain classified data and rescue the prisoners. John has to communicate with groups of resistance fighters and inspire them that there is hope against these advanced machines. It was an action-packed movie, whereby it never failed to keep me excited throughout the whole duration.
Whilst it was a fight between the outnumbered humans and the physically stronger robots, we would have known that the good triumphs over the evil. It wasn't as simple as that. For the humans could have give up the fight. The humans were weak and much weaker in numbers. But they knew that the war must continue, for them to rescue their friends who have been kept captive as prisoners and to save their own mankind from extinction. Humans do not give up so easily.
What struck me was this quote - The difference between humans and robots is the heart.
How true this is. We must all know this, for ignoring this means we are living each day with a robotised routine. How often do we shower concern for our loved ones, appreciate our friends and understand our colleagues?
