Chapter Two Thousand and Thirty-Four
Yes, a higher level of freedom!
The same is freedom, but in fact, there are different levels......
The freedom of ordinary people, many times, is only limited to the order of ordinary people's lives, in fact, in a sense, it cannot be regarded as real freedom, but under the background and environment in which they live, they feel that they are free enough, that's all!
For ordinary people, as long as they have enough money, their bodies are healthy enough, and in a social environment where the social order is comfortable and stable, and the judiciary is fair, then they are basically very free, they can choose to do whatever they want, they don't need to worry about money or illness, they can do whatever they want to do, even if they occasionally violate the law, they can also use money to open the way, and greatly reduce their punishment......
In a sense, such freedom is enough for ordinary people......
Not everyone says Superman, and not everyone wants to be Superman......
Being able to live a life of being a superior among ordinary people, for the vast majority of people, is actually worth fighting for all their lives......
However, this kind of freedom in itself is not actually freedom in the true sense......
At least, this kind of freedom is not the freedom that You Yue is pursuing!
It's simple......
People always have to die, people always have to get old, and people always have things that are impossible to do......
The so-called manpower is sometimes exhausted, and this is the truth......
No matter what kind of person you are, there will always be times when you are powerless, no matter how much money you have, no matter how much power you have, no matter how high your status is, there will always be times when you are helpless......
And this helplessness, in a sense, is precisely a manifestation of unfreedom......
Of course, the vast majority of people, deep down, filter out this so-called unfreedom, or unfulfillment......
Because in many people's cognition, this kind of perfection itself is unattainable, and because it is unattainable, all people will pursue relative freedom, not absolute freedom......
And only those who can pursue relative freedom will try to pursue those so-called absolute freedoms!
Just like the emperors in ancient times, when they grasped the supreme power, when their country was peaceful and peaceful, and the wind and rain were smooth, their eyes would naturally fall on higher goals, such as cultivating to become immortals, such as immortality......
And so on and so forth......
Of course, in the final analysis, cultivating to become an immortal and immortality are actually the same ideal, immortality is a pursuit of survival, and cultivating to become an immortal is the basis of survival, and at the same time there is a further demand for the quality of survival......
Of course, different people have different priorities for pursuing both, some people prefer immortality, while others prefer to live less and pursue greater power......
Of course, more often than not, the relationship between immortality and great power is itself a kind of coexistence......
Mere immortality, or the mere possession of power, is itself an irrational state......
Immortals are bound to have great power, and individuals with great power tend to have long lives......
The two can be said to be an inevitability in themselves......
And in fact, in many hot-blooded daily comics, the two will always be separated, for example, a strong man who is enough to destroy the world will die of old age after a period of time......
This in itself is an irrational state......
Of course, the pursuit of rationality in hot-blooded comics itself is a meaningless thing, and for readers, as long as the plot is exciting enough, it is enough......
In fact, if a person is simply immortal, and does not have the strength to match the lifespan, then this person will eventually become an experiment in the hands of the powerful, living in pain and suffering every day, and on the contrary, if a person has great strength, but does not have a strong enough body and strong enough vitality to carry this power, then when the vitality is squeezed to the limit by the force, death will also come in a short time......
Just like the untimely death of many martial artists, there are usually similar reasons, that is, the practice of martial arts is too fierce, the intensity of martial arts is raised, the strength is increased too fast, and even some too radical ways are used to exercise their body muscles, in order to be able to cause maximum lethality, and then due to too radical relationship, the body is finally overwhelmed, and finally dies suddenly......
In the final analysis, it is the body that cannot bear this force beyond the limits of the body, which causes the body to collapse......
In the same way, simple force is enough to negatively affect the body, and those various extraordinary abilities are naturally much heavier for the body......
Because of this, all immortals are usually powerful, and strong people tend to survive longer......
Of course, such as turtles, which have a much longer lifespan than humans, but are relatively weak chickens, also exist in nature, but in the final analysis, it is because although turtles live long, they are not beyond the level of humans, they live longer than humans, but in fact they are not too long, as for the kind of old turtles that have lived for hundreds or even thousands of years in legends, most of them have become monsters, and they may be very weak in combat among monsters, but compared to ordinary humans, It's definitely the rhythm of crushing......
Immortality in the pure sense, or destruction of the world in the pure sense, does not actually exist, the strong must live long, and the immortal must also be strong......
If a strong person does not live long, then the combat effectiveness of this strong person will also be weakened to the extreme, and the vitality and combat effectiveness are also a state of mutual balance......
And if a certain training method, cultivation system, can greatly strengthen an individual's combat effectiveness, but it will not increase the lifespan, but will make people lose their lifespan, then this kind of training method or cultivation system is actually embarking on a wrong path, that is, an evil land......
In fact, in many cultivations, the difference between the righteous and the evil is usually not the character of both the good and the evil......
The most fundamental way to distinguish between them is actually the cultivation methods and cultivation concepts of the two sides......
The practice of decent people is generally biased towards the pursuit of a stable foundation, and in the case of pursuing a solid foundation, they choose to gradually improve their own strength, which is also the practice philosophy of this type of cultivators, they will not do things that hurt nature and reason in order to improve their strength, what they pursue is to steadily improve their cultivation and state of mind......
On the contrary, the practice of cult people is biased towards plundering and quick success, no matter what kind of cultivation method it is, most of them can be effective in a short period of time and are extremely lethal, but this kind of exercise usually has more or less flaws, so they can only keep looking for new exercises to make up for the defects of salvation, and then the flaws will become more and more, and eventually even if the flaws are made up, they may change their personality and become a complete demon......
Of course, whether it is a righteous sect or an evil sect, the ultimate goal of cultivation is to achieve immortality, and the difference is only that the two choose different ways, but the final result is the same path......
Needless to say, many evil bigwigs, when their level reaches a certain height, they will naturally switch to some Buddhist or Taoist classics to make up for the defects caused by their own practice, and at that time, this kind of person will naturally become the existence of good and evil, and in fact, the vast majority of the real cultivators are usually neither good nor evil......
After cultivating to a certain height, they don't have too many concepts of justice or evil, and more often they do things for themselves, and they follow their own hearts in everything they do, and that's it......
The freedom of ordinary people and the freedom of the transcendent can be said to be two completely different concepts!
The freedom of ordinary people is essentially illusory freedom......
But the freedom of the transcendent is the true freedom!
They are in pursuit of this unattainable freedom almost all the time!
The freedom of ordinary people can be said to be something that is easy for them to obtain, but what they pursue is a kind of freedom that ordinary people can't imagine!
In fact, personal strength is, in a sense, the most important condition for a person to be free......
However, in the world of ordinary people, the strength of the individual is not enough for people to have freedom, and strong personal power is not worth mentioning compared to wealth, power, and fame......
However, this is not because the strength of the individual is strong and useless, but because the strength of the individual is not strong enough!
Yes, not strong enough!
Strong and weak are relative concepts in themselves, not absolute!
Ordinary people, even if they practice martial arts and exercise their bodies, and their bodies are strong in society, although they belong to the type of powerful and powerful, and they belong to a powerful category of people, but this kind of strength itself is actually not enough to subvert the social order, for example, if he uses his own force to attack others, then in the end, most of them will be unable to escape the law, even if he is stronger than ordinary people, but his strength is still not enough to subvert the social order, not enough to affect the existence of the state machine......
Such a person does not have the ability to subvert the order by virtue of his own strength......
At best, he is a gangster on the street, doing some small things like stealing chickens and dogs, or if he has enough talent, he may be able to become a gangster, and then he will inevitably eat a peanut at the end......
At least under the domestic social environment, any underworld and evil forces have no room to survive, and they may be developed in the stage of development, but once they grow, they will definitely be cut off, and basically no one with a head or face can escape the fate of being shot......
In fact, it is difficult for individual force in the simple sense to pose a threat to society, and as long as it does not exceed the limits of social order, then this threat can be ignored......
Compared with this kind of hooligans, there is another type of people who can often pose a greater threat to society, that is, veterans who have had military experience, if this type of people can find firearms, then the destructive power they can cause to the society is far from being comparable to this kind of gangsters, whether it is in the police force or in the army, the loss of any firearm is a very, very, very serious incident, the appearance of any gunman with a military background, are enough to trigger relevant alerts from the police and the military......
Such a person, once he does evil things, is usually very, very terrible and dangerous, and because of this, so such a person, once identified, whether it is the police or the military, will choose to kill rather than arrest as soon as they find out, because such a risk factor is too high, and the simple arrest itself is an act with a certain risk, and it is naturally a matter of a hundred to be able to kill......
In fact, the reason why the strike-hard campaign has occurred in China is precisely because this kind of thing happens too frequently, which will eventually lead to the rise of the strike-hard wave......
In fact, for this kind of outlaws, the country's policy is usually absolutely uncompromising, and it is even one if they can kill one, because their existence itself threatens the security of the country and threatens the stability of society......
In fact, in the same way, although many kidnappers are cunning and will always put forward their own many requirements, but many will be killed directly by the sniper who finds the opportunity in the process of the transaction, and the safety of the hostage is naturally a crucial thing, but if the conditions allow and the opportunity is good enough, then the police sniper will never miss such an opportunity!
The reason is very simple, no matter how complicated the case, if the kidnapper is killed, then the case will be closed......
As for the safety of the hostages, of course, it is necessary to consider, but sometimes it is permissible to let the hostages bear a certain degree of risk, especially when the police judge that if the kidnappers continue to survive, they may pose a security threat to the hostages......
In fact, from the police's standpoint, although on the surface it is said that the safety of the hostages comes first, in fact, killing the prisoner is usually the first plan considered by the police, because every killing of a kidnapper is actually an invisible deterrent to other kidnappers, and every kidnapper's escape is an invisible encouragement to other kidnappers......
