Chapter 46: Choose
What is Justice?
Gao Kuan's intuition was a little dry in his throat, and the question was very subjective and abstract, and it was more like an illusory and ingenious answer than a rigorous definitive statement, more suitable for a politician to answer.
The so-called justice is nothing more than a scale in people's hearts, which shows good and beautiful things, belongs to the measuring stick of human moral standards, and is also one of the basic elements that promote the development of the entire human civilization.
However, there are too many different aspects of the word justice, and after thinking for a while, Gao Dakuan organized his language and said: "Justice is a collection of some beautiful things in human nature that represents love and equality, and also represents basic social rights such as equality and fairness between people." ”
Gao Dakuan felt that his answer was very comprehensive, which should satisfy Liu Zhenmin.
"You're right, but I don't think so. Liu Zhenmin said lightly, hearing his answer, Gao Dakuan was surprised to find that he was not surprised by this.
"Justice is just a term coined to protect the interests of the majority of mankind, and to put it simply, it is just an excuse to cover up. ”
Gao Dakuan frowned and said, "Your statement is too narrow. ”
"Narrow-minded? I don't think so. ”
Liu Zhenmin continued to say indifferently: "If a huge ship traveling on the sea is shipwrecked, and the sea god appears at this time, he tells the people on the ship that if you want to be rescued, you must sacrifice a baby on the ship, otherwise only that baby can live, so how should you choose at this time?"
"What the hell is this bastard Poseidon!" Gao Dakuan retorted angrily.
"It doesn't matter, you can think he's a Neptune, you can think of it as Poseidon, he just has that ability, and it's not something I made up out of thin air, it's not uncommon for people to use human lives as 'sacrifices' in thousands of years of seafaring history. ”
Gao Dakuan hesitated for a moment and finally said slowly: "I will sacrifice the baby's life to save others." ”
"Uh-huh. Liu Zhenmin's voice was not surprised, but in fact, this question is not a double choice question to some extent.
Gao Dakuan hurriedly explained: "There are already many other lives on the ship, and the only way to weigh the pros and cons is to sacrifice..."
"I understand, you don't have to explain, I think as long as a person with a normal mind and a basic three views will come to this answer, even I am no exception. Liu Zhenmin interrupted Gao Dakuan's words and said.
"But is this justice?"
Gao Dakuan said: "These are two different things, you are secretly changing concepts." ”
"Perhaps, but we're just using this small issue to explore human nature. Even if it is worth exchanging the life of an innocent baby for the life of someone else, maybe after everyone is saved, the baby who sacrificed his life will be sung, people will write praises for him, a monument will be erected, and his name will be sung forever, but do these things matter to that baby?"
Tall and wide silently.
"Neither the god of the sea nor the man who made the choice ever considered to ask the baby's opinion, and the so-called righteous choice was in everyone's mind like a math problem, and it was the simplest kind, one plus one equals two, and two is greater than one. ”
The tall and wide body leaned back in the chair in a slump.
Liu Zhenmin said: "Look, justice is just such a string of numbers, cold and ruthless, and the beautiful characteristics you just mentioned are not shown on it." ”
"How can this be..."Gao Dakuan muttered in his mouth, although he knew in his heart that Liu Zhenmin was using sophistry, but he really did not refute the other party's statement.
Liu Zhenmin said: "This is the original essence of things, don't forget, the most difficult emotion in human nature is selfishness, including many feelings of love and hate. And how is justice based on this point really eternal fairness, when I wanted to come to school, the teacher also told you that there is no absolute fairness in this world, so where does the word justice begin?"
Gao Dakuan continued to be silent, and as the words were, Gao Dakuan faintly sensed something from Liu Zhenmin's words.
"My father was the baby, who was innocently accused of a trumped-up crime, forced to confess his guilt in desperation, and helplessly endured the pain of the death of his wife and children. And all this was chosen by the group of people who were on the same boat, who chose to let the baby die for their own benefit, even if there was no quid pro quo without the presence of the god of the sea. ”
Gao Dakuan felt that his chest was very dull, and finally said slowly: "Did you rescue your father..."
Both ends of the phone fell silent, and Gao Dakuan even felt that he could hear the breathing of Yoo Zhenmin's skin.
In the end, Liu Zhenmin muttered: "I have lost my sister, I don't want to lose my father anymore, and my father also owes Hitomi too much, even if Hitomi is dead, I still hope to compensate for it..."
"Crazy! you're a madman!" Gao Dakuan roared, and Liu Zhenmin didn't refute, just quietly listened to Gao Dakuan's scolding, but for a long time, Gao Dakuan just kept scolding the word madman, and he really couldn't think of other cursed words, let alone say it.
Eventually, Gao Dakuan stopped, and his mind went blank.
How so...
Gao Dakuan didn't know how many times he had made such an exclamation today.
"You are a good police officer, but also a good person, people like you are not often seen in this land anymore, so I hope you can live well and not get involved in the whirlpool of uselessness anymore. You don't have to come to me again, I will make my voice to the world in my own way. With that, Liu Zhenmin interrupted the communication.
After a long time, Gao Dakuan weakly put the PMT on the table.
Call!
Tall and wide let out a long breath, and after he knew the truth and the anger that followed, it was replaced by a sense of relief.
Gao Dakuan didn't understand why he had such a mentality, no matter how wrong he thought about it, if a person who was unjustly imprisoned has been sentenced to ten years, even if he escaped from prison to get free?
Is justice and law so called "ruthless"?
No.
Gao Dakuan shook his head.
The body slumped in the chair, and the tall and wide ripped open the collar to make himself feel less depressed.
In any case, he finally grasped the truth of the matter, although a very good clue was temporarily interrupted, but Gao Dakuan is by no means the kind of person who gives up easily.
Exhaled a few breaths, Gao Dakuan closed his eyes, and all that appeared in front of him was the action of Tian Terrier smoking before his death.
"Sometimes, I really envy you..."
Leaving is liberation, but leaving is a responsibility.
Gao Dakuan opened his eyes and redialed another MEID with the PMT.
