Chapter 106: Batman and Spider-Man
Although Matthew had already determined in his heart that Maya had killed people, he really didn't expect Maya's mentality to be so peaceful, as if it was not eight people but eight chickens.
Now in the face of the elder's question, his mind is a little confused, and he doesn't know how to answer.
Isn't this the best time to put out ideas?
President Maya didn't wait for Matthew to answer himself, and continued, "Batman is right, no one is above the law. β
whatοΌ Batman is right, but what about you? Is it wrong? Matthew's brain was even more confused.
The Elder went on to make a persistent effort and said, "Batman is right, the law is above the will of the individual. I'm also right, there's nothing wrong with killing people to save people. β
"Matthew, don't you see that Batman and I have different positions? Batman stands in the perspective of maintaining social stability, and I am a ranger in society. The Ranger is part of society, he just needs to focus on the present, he has right and wrong, good and evil. But Batman's purpose in maintaining the supremacy of the law is ultimately for the stability of the entire society. He should focus on the overall situation, there is no right or wrong, there is nothing good or evil, and it is his responsibility for the whole society to run in peace and stability. β
Seeing that Matthew seemed to understand or not, President Maya had to say more bluntly, "Let's put it this way, I'm a hero among the common people, and Batman is a hero among the elite ruling class. We all look at things from different angles, and although there are conflicts, there is nothing wrong with them. I'm killing eight bad guys and saving dozens of ordinary people, right? β
Seeing Matthew nodding, Maya continued: "But I violated the law by killing people, and if the law can't punish me, the credibility of the law will decline, and if it continues like this, the meaning of the law's existence will be gone." The existence of the law is to maintain social stability, and when the law is meaningless, the society will naturally collapse. That's right, right? So Batman's behavior in upholding the dignity of the law is very correct, and he is right! β
"That's right, so who's wrong?" Matthew asked.
Maya didn't think about it and said directly: "Matthew, when you look at a problem, you must first find your own position. I'm just an ordinary citizen, and it's my limit to be able to save people. And Batman is the son of Gotham, he can do much more than save people, he can save the city. I just need to take care of what is in front of me, the ruling class represented by Batman, he has the ability and responsibility to maintain the stability of the whole society. My personal chivalrous behavior is only one link in the self-regulation mechanism of this society, and Batman is the manager of the entire social machine. β
"Matthew, if you're a, think about the stability of the country. What will be the result? President Maya asked seductively.
"There was no result because I didn't have the ability to execute my ideas. Unless I leave my current class and move into a higher social class. "Matthew is really smart, just a little bit thorough.
Maya also did not hesitate to encourage, "That's right, if you just want to be an ordinary class, as long as you can save people, that's right." But when you are strong enough to change this society, whether that ability is power or force. You must think about your own responsibilities, and you can no longer act arbitrarily as before, and simply saving people can no longer be used as a standard for judging right and wrong. You're going to have a new standard of behavior, and you're the new Batman. β
Matthew said, "So as long as we do what we can?" At present, it is morality that binds us, and it is up to the higher authorities to consider the matter of maintaining the legitimacy of the law. β
President Maya nodded, "Just like in our Hell's Kitchen, as long as you can support yourself without breaking the law, you will have the greatest success. The boundaries of the law are already blurred in this place, so my killing to save people has little impact on society. If my ability and influence reach the level of Magneto, then I will also learn from Batman and abide by the rules of this society. Because if I don't follow the rules, it will be too damaging to the social system. β
So even if it is the same person, different identities and statuses do the same thing, the consequences are different. That's what I think I'm based on! Now, do you understand what I'm thinking? β
Matthew nodded and said, "Lord, I understand, now that I can help others, even if I am successful, it has nothing to do with breaking the law or not. β
MMP, it's really hard to subdue a little brother! It's harder to change his mind to fit in with himself!
Although Maya is consciously guiding Matthew, isn't she also reorganizing her thoughts and establishing values that are in line with the Marvel world's outlook on life?
There are many characters in the Marvel world who have the ability to be an enemy country, and there are many extreme ideas born from it, and it is not possible to simply adapt to this world with the universal values of the previous life!
President Maya is not a reckless person with thick nerves, on the contrary, she is very delicate and sensitive. After killing 8 black bastards and saving dozens of people, she thought about it seriously. It's impossible to adapt the world to you, what Maya can do is to re-understand the world and establish a new ideology and morality to adapt to this Marvel world.
When she picked up the kunai and killed the first person, her mentality of slowly farming had to change. Because after taking that step, you joined the complex "big rivers and lakes" of Marvel, and intersected with all the forces in this world.
People can be reluctant, but their hearts can't be reluctant! That's why the elder has been moving a lot lately.
At this moment, she seemed to be speaking to Matthew and to herself, "Matthew, we are just you and me in this small gang, and the main program of this small organization is to help each other within the scope of morality and law, and help more people!" β
"So how do you strike a balance between helping people and breaking the law, like the one you once had?" Matthew asked.
"Hell's Kitchen! We use Hell's Kitchen as a boundary, and it's nonsense to talk about the law here. Since the weak die in Hell's Kitchen, we use the morality of ordinary people to restrain our behavior. Outside of Hell's Kitchen, we want to avoid breaking the law. In short, no matter what the situation, there must be a thread on our actions to restrain ourselves. β
"At this stage, we are still young, and our understanding of the world is also very one-sided and shallow, and we cannot form a correct and independent outlook on life. Therefore, the current moral values and legal provisions of society are the best chain to ensure that our behavior does not derail and does not exceed the bottom line. What do you think, Matthew? β
After listening to President Maya's tirade, Matthew also breathed a long sigh of relief, and the whole person was also relaxed.
"Lord, you are much better than me, your purpose for establishing this organization is very clear, the outline of the organization is very reasonable, and Ren Xia dares to do it, but there are constraints. I've really figured it out this time, and I'm going to join! β
The elder asked, "What was your condition?" β
Matthew smiled sheepishly, "I've heard from the police that the eight people involved in the Mary-889 incident died at the hands of ninjas. Just thinking about you, you will grow up, you sofa dried fruit, if I refuse, you, will you kill me directly! β
