Act 107 Evil and Greatness
Headmaster Woolsey was a little cloudy, but still staring at Doug, and he said slowly, "Doug, my student, your behavior really makes me a little confused.
At first, I thought you just wanted to make a Monopoly game.
However, knowing that two days ago, the matter between you and the little shoe-shiner appeared in your newspaper, and I realized that it was not so simple.
You are trying to control money and public opinion, doing one thing after another that is absolutely not a negotiable, but you are promoting yourself as a good person.
And the dye you and Tom's little guy did. That would be big business.
Do you want to be the richest tycoon in all of America?"
Doug confirmed Principal Woolsey's expression.
"My teacher, in universal terms, everyone has the right to choose their own life.
But is that the case in real life?
When I was a little homeless person, could I go into class without any worries and listen to what I was interested in?
No, you can't.
I couldn't even get into the classroom.
Perhaps, we think that every job he does should be a job he likes.
However, the truth is that the vast majority of people work for money.
Only with money can we survive, and only with the present can we have dreams about the future.
What about me?
Now I have a little money, but it's not enough!
I need money, I need more money!
When I have more capital, I have the right to pursue the life I want!
Of course, all of this doesn't seem to contradict what you're saying about being the richest person in America.
The greater the ability, the greater the change in the world. ”
Doug's energetic voice made Principal Woolsey fall into memories unconsciously.
He remembered when he was younger.
When he was young, like many of his peers, he had a great dream of changing the whole world.
However, at an advanced age in this era, he did not make much change in the world.
The world is still like that.
The world has not changed because of his ambitions.
The only place he influenced was a small part of Yale Academy.
Some people think that universities are independent individuals separated from politics and economics.
However, this is not the case.
In the middle of the nineteenth century, the United States, despite its economic aggregate, was already among the best in the world.
However, a series of universities, including Yale and Harvard, are not widely recognized by the world.
Even if the results of the birth of these schools are not a lot at all.
However, because they are in the United States, they are not the world's top universities.
President Woolsey, as the Yale president of this generation, has made a lot of efforts to achieve this, but the gains have not been great.
As an elder, he knows how difficult it is to change the world.
He knows that when some people feel that they have changed the world, they have been changed by the world.
Principal Woolsey suddenly smiled, and he smiled, "I hope you don't forget everything you said at this moment." ”
"Teacher, I will not forget my original intention, I will forge ahead, and I will continue to fight for this until I die. Doug replied.
"Doug. Once upon a time there was a duck who looked like a duck and ate duck's food, but he kept saying that he was a chicken.
Is it a duck or a chicken?
Even if it crows louder, the whole world knows that it says it is a chicken, but he is still a duck. ”
Principal Woolsey continued to use the duck as an example.
Opening your mouth to speak out is just a form of propaganda.
To see a person's true mind is not to see what they say, but to see what they do.
The unity of words and deeds is the highest state.
Because, most of the things in this world are always easier to do than to say.
Just talk about it, don't do it.
Some of them can't be done.
Some of them can be done, but at great cost. At first, you may struggle to do it, but later, the vows you once made have become nothing more than a fig leaf.
The last one, and even more hateful.
If you just say it, you don't want to do it.
Just use verbal routines to induce the target group to support him.
Regardless of the deeds.
Doug has learned to look at a person's actions rather than words.
But even though the vast majority of people in this world know that they should look at deeds rather than words, where do they go to see real deeds?
The media is a medium of communication.
Whose interests are in the hands of whom must be spoken.
Do you expect a chicken soup newspaper like the New Haven Times to report on the reality of the world?
Or, count on an advertising newspaper like the New Haven Daily News to tell what's good and what's bad?
If you let them judge, of course, it is good to recharge it here, and it is bad if it is not recharged.
Even a hotel like the New Haven Hotel that can cause food poisoning to guests is still a good hotel for them as long as it is recharged.
Perhaps, those who have been there, know that the New Haven Hotel is not good.
However, if you are a first-time visitor to New Haven, when you have enough money, will you choose the New Haven hotel with the same name as New Haven and recommended by the New Haven Daily News?
When they really get food poisoning in such a hotel, will they be thrown into the wilderness, and how can they maintain their rights?
The seemingly fair United States is actually just a profit farm for groups of businessmen.
When needed, they can advertise the barren west, where there is a lot of open-pit gold.
When necessary, they can even define the "American dream" in the name of the United States.
Principal Woolsey asked, "Is your dream a monopoly or a prosperity?"
"It's prosperity. Doug replied, "Monopoly for prosperity." ”
"What do you want to do with a monopoly for prosperity?" Principal Woolsey wondered.
"You know, it seems that human nature is that everybody is selfish. If you want to prosper, the precondition – selflessness – seems to be unsatisfying.
It seems that monopoly is a route that everyone is born with.
But what if I become a one-of-a-kind monopolist?
It's like being a winner of Monopoly.
I exploit and oppress the losers, leaving them to live a miserable life that can only barely survive.
Will they be like springs, compressed to the extreme, ushering in an explosion?
From disorder to order, from order to unity.
What about a thriving society in the end?
I can't ask everyone to do something, but the environment teaches people what to do.
And what I want to do is change the environment. ”
"If you do, you're going to be the most evil person in American history. And...... The greatest people. ”
