MTL - Urban Tales of Demons and Spirits-Chapter 220 Excuses and motivations

Thinking about it this way, Wen Jiubai is not without reason, it is indeed the case. Eight Eight One Chinese Network W≈WW. 81ＺW. Com

"Probably no food is just a saying, right?" I tentatively said, "It is used by people to describe the hardship of life or the difficult situation they encounter ..."

"It's just an exaggeration. Do you want to say that?"

I nodded.

"That's why I said, your order is reversed." Wen Jiubai sighed and said with arms folded.

I was even more confused. "Where's the opposite? No."

"According to you, if people don't work, they have no money to spend and no food to eat. So, in other words, does someone need money first, and then someone starts work?"

"Isn't it natural?"

"No, that's not the case," Wen Jiubai said resolutely. "It is people who have a job first, work first, and then with the progress and development of the society, work will generate benefits such as money."

I heard something more inexplicable, stuttering, "Yes, is that so?"

"Of course. Although saying" work "is something unique to humans, it is still essentially a means of livelihood. It is no different from hunting by beasts and animals. At first humans also depended on hunting to survive, but only later Humans living in the Central Plains are gradually emerging, and there is no need to hunt. You can fill your stomach by growing food and raising animal husbandry. Planting and raising are much safer and easier than hunting, and they are sustainable exhibitions. I was worried that I would be hungry in the future. So work was born. Later, as the tribe or tribe gradually grew, the lazy cells on the "rich" who had enough food began to play a role. Although they did not worry about eating and wearing, they still wanted to continue More food is produced, and employment is born. In this way, the society is composed of rich people who are rich in food and poor people who lack food. The poor people who lack food can ask the rich for 'work' When it comes to food, the concept of work equals food is formed at this time, right? "

I nodded. The original primitive society ... probably that's it.

"But in the final analysis, the saying that work equals money is actually a conjecture of people. If the poor work hard to earn money to support their families, and to eat enough food, those lives are completely worry-free and can take care of each in the family. Members. "Wen Jiubai pointed out," is this the case with your family, or the family of your two friends? Why do many people still work seriously for such a family? "

I gradually understood what he wanted to say from Wen Jiubai's guidance, "This is because if you are not serious, you will lose your job, and if you lose your job ... Although you will not starve to death, you will lose that better life."

"That's it." Although Wen Jiubai said it was a question, it was an unquestionable tone. "Instead of working hard to make money, it's better to keep yourself from being inferior to others. Today's life, or for a better life. Even the poor, there is such a competitive spirit that they don't want to lose to their relatives in the neighboring villages. So this is what I want to say: It is not an excuse, it is an excuse. . "

"What excuse, what reason?" I wondered.

"People do n’t have food when they do n’t work. This is just an excuse." Wen Jiubai said calmly. "It is just a good and gentle excuse for human beings to compete with themselves. You also mentioned that if I am not a demon master, It ’s the same with no money. Although this is a fact, for me, the important thing is to be a demon master. No, the life itself should be said. Money is just a by-product. I chose to work instead of work. The job chose me. "

That's true. Wen Jiubai is different from ordinary people. What others dream of is nothing but incidental goods to him.

"Similarly, killing is the same." Wen Jiubai said word by word.

"What does this have to do with murder?"

"Something like a motive for killing is just an excuse for people to figure out after the fact." Wen Jiubai said something extraordinary about himself.

"Borrow—" I didn't know what to say for a while, but I just thought it was crazy. "The motive for killing is an excuse? How is it possible, no matter how--"

"It's an excuse." Wen Jiubai interrupted me before I uttered it in barren words, and said firmly, and repeated it again, "The so-called motive for killing was only conceived afterwards to make it unbelievable. Things justified before they desperately made up explanations. "

"rationalization?"

"On the surface, killing is an incredible thing, right?" Wen Jiubai looked at me with a surprised expression and said blandly. "No matter from the law or morally, killing is not allowed. The law will punish the killer. And morals will condemn him. From a macro perspective, killings are homogeneous, and if everyone kills, there will be no society. So there is no society that encourages killings. Is that true? "

I nodded. "Of course. Murder is not allowed in any country."

"But there is war." Wen Jiubai said to himself as if to himself.

"Ah? But war is different, is it for the country ..."

"Gu Yu, what if you think about me in a different position?" Wen Jiubai interrupted me and asked, "If you jump out of the 'human' circle and look at the human race? Observe their thousands of years of history and behavior, What conclusion will be reached? "

I was dumbfounded and had a terrible conclusion in my head, but I didn't dare to say it.

But Wen Jiubai said for me instead: "That is, human beings have been killing each other for thousands of years, right?"

No answer. Because Wen Jiubai is telling the truth.

"Killing is illegal, but in the war years, no matter how many people were killed, it was encouraged by the state, wasn't it? So saying that killing is evil is also a misunderstanding of people. It's just like work equals making money Is a big misunderstanding. "

I was stunned and speechless, feeling that under the harsh language of Wen Jiubai, my three views would be broken.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that killing is a good thing, it's something that should be done. I'm just explaining the reason to you." Wen Jiubai shook his head. "In the final analysis, the law of no killing exists in society Among them. If there is no society, such a rule would not be possible. But why is there a society in the world? Many people think that it is instinct of people to tolerate each other and support each other. "

"Isn't it?" I asked.

"I didn't say that. This is indeed the instinct of all social animals, but don't forget, why is there a distinction between social animals and solitary animals in nature?"

I opened my mouth. "That's because ... social animals are generally weak and can't resist the attack of natural enemies alone, so-"

"That's right." Wen Jiubai gave me a look of praise, "So in the final analysis, the fundamental purpose of people supporting and helping each other is for their own benefit. Because they want to live and not be eaten by natural enemies Fell, so humans chose to live in groups and hold together. That is to say-- "

Wen Jiubai's eyes are sharp: "The emergence of this society is basically because of the selfishness in everyone's heart."

Speechless.

"Personal interests precede society. No matter what the government's education is, this is a fact. Everyone is born selfish and was born for his own benefit. This is the most normal biological instinct. Feeling ashamed for this is actually influenced by social culture and moral standards. "Wen Jiubai went on to say," Society is used to change people's thinking. "

"Change or change your mind?"

"Yes. If society wants to continue, someone must abandon their own interests and protect the interests of the majority. If not, everyone just thinks about themselves and the society will not be able to maintain." Wen Jiubai explained, "Therefore, the theory of 'human nature is good' came into being in this process. Society teaches that helping others is good, killing and robbery is evil, so in the long social life, people gradually turn these rules into culture, It has become a 'moral code' that must be observed in the heart. Therefore, under this influence, the killing has become an 'incredible' event that society cannot tolerate. "

I gradually came to understand the meaning of Wen Jiubai, and felt strong fear in the process of understanding.

Good and evil, do these two things never exist in the world?

These two things are nothing more than gigantic lies that people have kept in order to maintain the giant "society"?

So killing ... is a bad event that can ruin society, so it will be banned everywhere. Is that so?

"Because it's incredible, people always put it on a variety of reasons." Wen Jiubai picked up the teapot again and shook it, but this time there was really no tea, "Love, hatred, neighborhood disputes, The relationship between the upper and lower is not the same ... No matter how irrational it is, it does not matter, because the existence of those motives is only to give an explanation to the society. But Gu Yu, you know, there is no such thing as killing For any reason. "

Even at this step, I still want to argue.

"I know that many killings are stress killings and legitimate defenses. Such incidents may only be impulsive and can be explained by your reasons. But there are also well-planned killings ..."
