125.

When everything settled, Ye Yu and Shen Bing had already returned to the real world of the Shadow Universe and appeared in the tunnel where the poisonous spider was killed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Ugh." Shen Bing sighed first.

She seemed to be still immersed in the chaotic cause and effect that the life of the venomous spider had revealed, and her mind was shocked.

"Isn't it a little hard to accept?" Ye Yu said.

"Hmm...... There were so many things that I couldn't understand, and I didn't understand why they did that. Too many things that are too dark...... It's all things I couldn't have imagined before. ”

Seeing this, Ye Yu said: This is what our tracers need to face, in our line of work, the last thing you lack is to see all kinds of human darkness. ”

But it is precisely because we have seen this darkness that we are qualified to pursue the true light. It is precisely because of the existence of these darkness that the beauty and preciousness of light will be highlighted. ”

"Because we know the existence of these darkness, we will have dissatisfaction in our hearts, and we will have the idea of changing it, which is the most fundamental source of motivation for life retrospection."

"Now that you've watched the poisonous spider, you must want to go back in time and change these lives full of tragedy, right?"

"Hmm." Shen Bing nodded and said, "Actually, I've been thinking about it all this time, the causal cycle is really a bit terrifying. ”

Sometimes, a cause of evil can have a chain reaction, producing countless evil consequences, like a poisonous spider, after being harmed by evil, it is also distorted and becomes a new perpetrator. The perpetrator→ the victim → the perpetrator is simply an infinite loop. ”

"You're right, such a chain of cause and effect of evil is the root of many tragedies, and it is also easy to give birth to all kinds of darkness, and once ordinary people fall into it, it is difficult to get out of it. Therefore, how to cut off the chain of cause and effect of such evil is what we must do as retrospectists. Ye Yu said.

Shen Bing said: "So sometimes, I think the poisonous spider is quite pitiful. Although she did so many evil things later, at the earliest time, she was just a victim. ”

Ye Yu corrected: "I advise you, it's best not to have this kind of sympathetic thoughts. As a retrospective, sympathy is the most important emotion to avoid, because it can affect our judgment and easily lead to wrong choices. The reason why we want to change those miserable lives is not because of sympathy, but because of our pursuit of beauty and disgust with darkness. ”

It is often said that there must be something hateful about the poor, or something for the hateful. These two statements are extremely one-sided and partial generalizations, and the so-called "must" statement is also very arbitrary. ”

"For example, if you think the poisonous spider is pitiful, it is because of her status as a victim in the first place. Indeed, on this matter alone, the poisonous spider is quite pitiful. Her father is the most fundamental source of all this evil. But the cowardice of the poisonous spider itself also fueled her father's bestiality. Moreover, her status as a victim is not a reasonable reason for her to be a perpetrator in the future. ”

"But she doesn't have a way to choose where she comes from, does she? If she had a good father, there would be no poisonous spiders who did a lot of evil. Shen Bing retorted.

"It's true that we can't choose where we come from, but we can choose our own lives." Ye Yu said indifferently.

"Different people, facing the same tragic situation, will make different choices and usher in different lives. Some people will face it positively and persevere. Some people will be passive and avoidant, while others will be extremely coping. So you can't blame the outside world for all the mistakes. Maybe the world is wrong, maybe someone else is wrong, but none of this is something we can change. We can only change our choices, we can only choose our own lives. ”

"Therefore, the identity of the poisonous spider as a victim is not a reason for her to become a perpetrator in the future, and we don't need to sympathize with her, nor do we have to feel pity for her."

"Human nature is complex and chaotic, so I never agree with the statement that human nature is inherently good, or that human nature is inherently evil, and I don't think that's quite right. I think "human nature is complicated". ”

"Some people are born good people and like to do good deeds. Some people are born evil people and like to do bad things. A large part of a person's life is determined by nurture, but there is also a part determined by his innate nature. ”

And this innate nature is also said in the theory of the empire. That is, a person's innate nature is influenced by the life that their soul has experienced in a thousand lifetimes of reincarnation. ”

Shen Bing thought for a while and said, "Well, I understand this, and I will try my best not to have unnecessary sympathy in the future." But I still have a question, just said how to cut the chain of cause and effect of evil, so how should we judge, what is evil? What is Goodness? ”

"The question you're asking is critical, even the core question of a backtracker. The criteria for judging good and evil are indeed difficult to define, and everyone's judgment of good and evil is different, which is a very subjective judgment. ”

"Moreover, even if there is a unified and objective standard for judging good and evil, it is difficult to define what is good and what is evil."

"For example, if a person does a good deed, it can also lead to a bad outcome." Ye Yu said.

"For example, I once met a man who saved a child when he was young, out of kindness. However, when the child grew up, he became a murderer. So is this person's act of saving the child good or evil? ”

Shen Bing thought for a while and replied: "This is like when discussing many problems in physics, many different reference frames are needed, I think to discuss this problem, we must first choose a good frame of reference." For example, if we use time as a frame of reference, if we take the moment when that person saves the child, his actions are good at that moment. But if you look at the moment when a child becomes a murderer, his actions are evil. ”

In addition, if from his own point of view, his actions are good, because he cannot foresee what will happen in the future, and he cannot be afraid to do good deeds because of the possible consequences. But if the person who is killed by the child will behave evilly. Shen Bing said.

"You're right." Ye Yu said, "For ordinary people, the standard of good and evil is not fixed, and there needs to be different frames of reference, so there is a saying that good and evil obsession exists in the heart." ”

"Everyone has a different answer to this philosophical question about the definition of good and evil."

"This is the answer that every tracer has to look for in countless life retrievals."

"But I also have some thoughts on this, and I can share them with you."

"Personally, I think it is possible to divide cause and effect into two parts, cause and effect."

"If it is an evil cause that produces an evil effect, there is no doubt that it is evil."

"Then evil causes produce good results, or good causes produce evil effects, I think, this is also [evil]"

"Only good causes produce good results can be truly good." Ye Yu said.
