Chapter Twenty-Eight: Absolute Neutrality
In fact, the vast majority of people are self-righteous, and we can cite countless examples from history and reality to prove that no one can escape this attitude.
Some people may think that I am talking nonsense, I am not a self-righteous person, then I only need to ask you one question, have you ever done even a risky thing in your life, such as cheating on an exam and thinking that you have the ability to escape the teacher's surveillance, such as going to bed early at night when the homework is not finished and telling yourself that you can finish it tomorrow morning, or confessing to the other party when you are not sure whether the girl likes you.
Yes, whether these things are right or wrong, they are tried with uncertainty when we can't get a certain result, and of course, we may be able to fool ourselves and tell ourselves, "I won't care if these attempts fail", but are you only trying to fail? No, you have the smallest desire to succeed in your heart.
And this glimmer of desire for success comes from your self-righteousness, and the only reason why you still make this decision when all the conditions dictate against you is because deep down you have this glimmer of self-esteem in your heart that you expect yourself to do miracles beyond your own abilities, this kind of thought, this kind of thought, is self-righteousness.
Of course, I don't deny that this self-righteousness has created countless real miracles, but I still hate this kind of self-righteousness, especially the perception that if I do something, I can change something.
This perception has always been the slogan that people who are powerless to change anything themselves want to incite others to be their cannon fodder. If people listen to this kind of demagoguery and evaluate their own abilities, and avoid this madness, I think we can at least restrain many fanatical situations that should not belong to a mature civilized society.
Of course, the most basic condition for implementing this non-self-righteous method is not to tell others "let me help you, I can save you" when they have not asked for it.
Because, you don't even know what the other person wants to achieve, and self-righteously think that you can help the other person achieve a request that you don't know, at this time, your performance will only be a clown.
Of course, that's my attitude towards the current light music club.
Izuka's constant contact with Minister Iizuka gave me the impression that the most important purpose of the Light Music Club in this school year was to complete a grand performance at the Gakuen Festival, but is this impression really real? Is this impression really his real purpose? I have never been clear about this, so if I want to join, if I want to influence, will the final result conflict with Minister Iizuka's ultimate goal?
Indeed, everything is moving in a strange direction that I could not have predicted, such as the atmosphere in the community is getting worse and worse, such as the fact that a pound of booked shows has quietly disappeared from the schedule table. However, Takeshi Iizuka was not in a hurry, and his best friend Haruki Kitahara was not in a hurry, so was my anxiety different from the anxiety that I understood they should show?
If you think about it with a malicious attitude, maybe the whole performance arrangement is a farce by Minister Iizuka to get close to that Yanagihara Peng - judging from the usual peach-colored news of the minister's classmates, this is not impossible - Minister Iizuka approached Yanagihara proudly, and he doesn't care so much about what follows.
If you think about it with a good attitude, this current split is a bitter ploy set up by Minister Iizuka and Kitahara's predecessors, as shown in countless novels, only by bringing the community to the brink of collapse can people truly realize the preciousness of this society, and will make everyone unite again, therefore, the connivance of this phenomenon is the result of their careful design, and now is the time to close the net of this trap.
I believe in my rationality, I also believe in the rationality of others, and the value and significance of absolute neutrality lies in the fact that the rationality of all people can be upheld, and the rationality of all people will not be destroyed by the unauthorized misunderstanding of others, and non-intervention is the best result that can be achieved in theory.
So, when Hikiya and I walked out of the first music room, when Hikiya asked, "Yubihama, what are you going to do about this light music club", my answer was,
"Absolute neutrality. ”
-------------------------------- dividing line-------------------------------------
It seems that Qigu is a little surprised by my answer, after all, in my previous state, everyone would think that I was very concerned about this community, and now throwing out a "non-intervention" answer, this will surprise them a little, right?
"I care about this society because what they are doing now is not in line with what I think they should achieve, that is, there is a contradiction between reality and cognition. For example, if I had been thinking '1+1=3' in my mind, and then one day I saw a math book telling me '1+1=2', I would be very concerned because it contradicted the impression that I had been using '1+1=3'. However, when I confirm that the phenomenon of '1+1=2' is universally recognized, what I want to do is definitely not to correct the impression of other people's '1+1=2', but to wait, because in this case, one of my cognitions and other people's cognitions must be wrong, and when we are all rational, then we can only use the final result to verify who is wrong, and before that, any interference with the result of this equation is an act of overconfidence in ourselves. ”
"Similarly, for the Light Music Club, I think their goal, or at least Minister Iizuka's goal is to participate in the performance of the Gakuen Festival and work hard for it, but in reality, whether their goal is this, or whether they have taken another way in the process of achieving this goal, or even whether they have made mistakes in the process of achieving the goal, I don't know very well, and I should have no problem adopting a non-interference attitude towards things that are not clear, right?"
For my answer, Bi Qigu should have understood, but he didn't want to give me a serious rebuttal or something like that as I expected, he just tilted his head, showing that indifferent expression in his eyes, and then said lightly: "Those people's affairs have nothing to do with me. ”
Of course, I'd love to ask Hikiya what he thinks of Kitahara's predecessors, but considering that Hikiya is not the kind of magician who can see a person's true personality through a conversation or two, he can know the existence of Haruki Kitahara in the third year, and it's already rare to have a little awareness of him, so I don't seem to expect him to give me an answer that surprises me for the time being.
The hopelessly self-righteous girl in the ministry still sat in her exclusive window seat with the library book in her hand, and compared to when I first met her two months ago, except that the classroom was much brighter because of the change of seasons, it didn't seem to have changed much, as if time had stood still as a whole.
Of course, I should be thankful that Yukino, while a staunch egocentric superstitious, is also arrogant and aloof enough that she will only wait for invitations from others in this classroom, rather than actively looking for people and events she wants to intervene in.
Compared to the ignorance of the two of us returning under the snow, Yui-sama was still the most active person, and it seemed that she couldn't expect to get any news from me, and she stopped Hikiya at the first time.
"So, the club called the Light Music Club that Xiaohe was in before, is the atmosphere very bad now?"
"In a sense, it can be called bad, right?" Hikiya frowned, explaining concretely, "After all, the community is already showing signs of splitting. ”
"That's bad, isn't it! So what could be worse than everyone in the community split?"
"Actually, I feel like our community is split. "Although this sentence is very untimely to interject, but I think this sentence is true, I don't know if the current idea of Biqi Valley has changed, at least the contradiction between me and Xuexia, has not been eased, of course, you want to say that we are still very united when we complete the external commission together, this sentence does not make any sense, because even if it is that level of light music club, if it is really faced with the existence of the student union, it should also maintain harmony, right? It's just that this split in the ministry is hidden, and I don't know when it will erupt, and the contradiction over there is just open.
"Xiaohe, what are you talking about? Even if you and Xiaoxue have some disagreements, but you don't quarrel? You are also trying to understand each other, right? How can you say that you are split? This kind of thing is a very serious matter, don't talk nonsense!"
"But in this case, there is indeed something more sad than Yubihama, you just said that the community is split!" This time it was Yukishita's turn to interject, "That is, I know that the contradiction between the two is very big, but because of some necessary things such as face and gambling, I can't completely break up, and I must maintain the harmony on face-"
"-Xiaoxue, why do you even say that!"
"Or that's okay, Brother Yubihama, let's continue with the previous topic, that is, as long as you honestly admit my ideas and obey me in all the affairs of this society, then the division of the society will not exist, and the situation where two people quarrel over their own ideas and are finally forced to embark on a path of mutual enmity as just mentioned will not exist——"
"- Unfortunately, the negotiations broke down. ”
"So you see, Yubihama, it's not that I'm unwilling to take responsibility for maintaining the unity of this society, but you have to see that your brother is such a stubborn person, although I know that this is really difficult for you, but you still have to believe that I can successfully transform him!" Xue Xia looked at me with her usual compassionate expression, it should be said, I haven't seen this kind of expression used under Xue Xia for a long time, this time it has appeared for a long time, the lethality is still not small, and this time, she extended the effect to her sister, which is really a pioneering feat!
"Xiaoxue, and Xiaohe-can't you two get along normally?" Although I feel that I have been entrusting my sister to be the regulator of this atmosphere a little unwillingly, but some things cannot be compromised, besides, this time I just said the objective facts that exist in a community, and it is under the snow that causes the war, under the snow!
So, unfortunately, my answer is:
"No way!"
"It's not up to me, it's up to him. ”
I glanced at each other under the snow, and I guess this is when our tacit understanding can reach its highest, right? Two people who are overly stubborn in their own opinions, and both have strong aspirations.
Of course, I always thought I was doing the right thing.
"Well, so, let's go back to the beginning of the incident!" Probably realizing that the contradictions of this routine quarrel are structural and irreconcilable, my sister has no choice but to change the subject, and I don't really hate this method, after all, I don't want to get into endless arguments with the snow.
Of course, the topic shifted badly enough.
"Let's think about how we can help that light music club, right? If there is a split in the club, won't it be the same as the relationship between the four of them like Hayato did before? If we get to the core of the split, then this problem will be easily solved, right?"
Therefore, it is not difficult to guess the reaction to her proposal.
"If it's the core of the problem, it's not difficult to catch," Bi Qigu said in a deep voice, "But this matter has nothing to do with us or the Ministry of Service, right?"
"That's right, Yubihama-san, please don't treat the Ministry of Service as a team that takes the initiative, there are too many things we can't do in this world, and all we can face is the commission for us, understand?" Yukishita also nodded, agreeing with Hikigu's point of view.
"If you want to entrust it, then Xiaohe will entrust it, right? Xiaohe doesn't care about that club very much?"
"I'm sorry, I do care about the situation there, but that doesn't mean I want to intervene there, the two are not the same. ”
"Hey, so you're the ones who don't want to help when you see the problem?"
Of course, the response we gave was surprisingly consistent.
"Woo, Xiaoxue and Xiaoqi are bullying people!"
Actually, bullying people is not counted, but in this kind of place where some people don't know whether to evaluate it as good or bad, the three of us, for different reasons, are amazingly on the same page.
