Chapter 1624: The Beginning of the Way of Judgment II
Black Rose Castle.
Everyone in this world has their own pursuits......
Different people, because of the different environment, although the pursuit of things will naturally be different......
The prisoner pursues the most basic freedom......
Beggars seek the most basic ...... of survival
Ordinary people pursue a more comfortable and comfortable life......
The rich are looking for more wealth......
Senior officials are seeking more rights......
These pursuits often represent the focus of different people's lives......
Of course, from the point of view of difficulty, the higher the demand, the easier it is to satisfy!
This is especially true in the modern world......
Survival and liberty are basically the rights of all legal citizens......
As for a comfortable and comfortable life, not everyone can have it, some people with a slightly better family background may be able to achieve this easily, but for those with an average family background, it will take a period of hard work to do this......
And as for the wealth above life, this is even more so......
The reason why wealth is sought after by the vast majority of people is because wealth can bring everything in the world in theory, and even to some extent, even love can be obtained through wealth......
Having wealth, in a sense, is almost the same as owning everything......
Money is not everything, but it is infinitely close to everything!
With wealth, you can easily satisfy all your previous pursuits......
And above the wealth is the so-called power......
In any one world. Power and wealth. It is something that most people are pursuing!
Power is inseparable from wealth. Wealth is also inseparable from rights, in some countries, wealth determines rights, and in other countries, it is rights that determine wealth, but no matter what kind of system it is, wealth and rights can always dominate many things. It can also dominate many people's ......
Of course, in the vast majority of the time, rights can naturally produce wealth, but wealth does not necessarily create rights, which is why people often think that rights are a kind of pursuit in the true sense of omnipotence!
This is the main reason why civil service is one of the most sought-after professions in the vast majority of countries!
Although many civil servants end up in mediocrity, there will always be people who will stand out and hold power. Thus changing their lives......
Many people use the words "thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge" to describe the college entrance examination......
But in fact, compared to the college entrance examination. The selection of civil servants, to a certain extent, is a journey of thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge in the real sense, and it can even be said that it is a journey to walk a tightrope above the abyss!
In fact, from this point, it can be seen that young people are eager for power......
To some extent, if a person can become a high-ranking official or a wealthy person......
Then most of this person's pursuits as an ordinary person can almost be satisfied......
In real life, there are never a few people who are willing to give their health, their own efforts, and even their youth, and their bodies to gain wealth or power......
From this point of view, it seems that whether it is health, hard work, youth, or health, it is something that wealth and power can buy......
Even so-called pure love, to some extent, can be affected by wealth and power......
However, wealth and power are not the end of people's pursuit!
Although on the surface, wealth and power seem to be enough to buy everything in this world!
However, there are still some things that cannot be bought!
For example, the wealth owner's own health, the wealth owner's own youth, the wealth owner's own body!
Some things are lost forever......
There is never a turning back!
With wealth, you can buy other people's health, buy other people's youth, and buy other people's bodies!
However, these things are out of reach only for those who have wealth themselves!
Everyone has a complete life to experience, ordinary people, high-ranking officials, and rich people......
They have extremely high rights and a lot of wealth, but they will never be able to buy their lost youth, and they will never be able to buy their once extremely healthy body......
As a result, they can only be forced to use their wealth to maintain their health as much as possible, hire the best doctors to examine themselves, and hire the best medical personnel to serve themselves, which is to use wealth to protect their health......
It is also ironic that these high-ranking officials and rich people may have used their health as a price to exchange wealth and status when they were young, but when they have wealth and status, they can't wait to use wealth and status to exchange their lost health back!
In fact, the vast majority of social elites with a certain social status will begin to pay attention to their own health problems, because they know very well that if there is no health pain, then even if they have status and wealth, they will eventually come to naught......
In fact, this can also be regarded as the ultimate plan for most people's lives......
Rich, powerful, and in good health......
As long as these three are guaranteed, then no matter what kind of work you do, or what kind of family you are in, or even what your sexual orientation is, it will not have much influence on your life......
And this can be said to be a state that most people are pursuing......
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Black Rose Castle.
However, this state. Although it can be said that it is the ultimate life winner state that most people can pursue. But there are still a very small number of people. Will pursue some more extreme options!
Like, immortality!
Yes, immortality!
Since ancient times, immortality has been the greatest dream of all human beings, and there is no one!
The reason is simple, because anyone who is immortal can have theoretically unlimited possibilities!
Whether it's wealth, it's power. No matter what kind of life you have, as long as you have a longer life than ordinary people, you can always experience it one by one......
Wanting to live forever can be said to be a dream shared by all people......
Of course, the vast majority of people don't have much illusion about immortality, especially those who live in poverty and hardship, and of course don't have the energy to chase the so-called path of immortality......
Since ancient times, it has often been those emperors who are qualified to pursue the path of immortality......
Maybe in the eyes of posterity. The emperor's cultivation of immortals and the pursuit of immortality is itself a manifestation of a faint monarch. But from the emperor's point of view, it was indeed their only pursuit in the real sense at that time, especially many Ming monarchs in the real sense, under their governance, the world had already been leveled in all directions, and they had already enjoyed all the prosperity of this world, so naturally they had nothing to ask for but to pursue ethereal immortality!
Of course, in addition, the most fundamental reason why people pursue immortality is actually the fear of death!
There is a great terror between life and death, and all life will subconsciously and instinctively fear death, which is why all people, no matter who they are, will subconsciously want to live more, because the longer they live, the later they will be from the coming of death, so the fear brought by death will not be so profound, and if you can achieve eternal life in the true sense, then you will never need to worry about the fear of death!
In fact, in Journey to the West, the most fundamental reason why Sun Wukong wants to ask for the method of immortality is actually due to the fear of the death of his companions, he doesn't want his companions to die like an old monkey, and he doesn't want to die silently like this one day, so he chose to cross the sea to seek immortality, even in the face of thousands of spells and temptations, he only has one sentence, but if he has immortality, he rejected all the Taoism, and finally mastered the spell that can truly live forever, and broke into the underworld, Wrote off the life and death book of Huaguo Mountain Monkey Monkey Sun!
Sun Wukong has become a mythical figure in legends, and the emperors have suffered the infamy of faint kings, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than becoming a king and defeating a villain!
Of course, in fact, let's not say it's ancient......
Even in modern society, countries are constantly researching how to make human beings live longer......
The so-called genetics, in essence, the most fundamental purpose, in fact, is this, as for the creation of cloning technology, the original purpose is also to allow people to replace their own necrotic organs, but in the end it was shelved for various reasons......
Of course, although it has been shelved on the surface, the research on gene cloning has never really stopped, and it will not really stop, and sooner or later human cloning will return to the stage of science, and sooner or later it will still appear in front of people!
Of course, even in modern society, science still can't make people live longer......
At least for ordinary people, it is impossible for them to enjoy the treatment of black technology!
Even if there is a breakthrough in technology, it will be the rich and powerful who will be able to profit in the first place!
This is the privilege they have as beings at the top of the human pyramid!
Of course, after the emergence of the Awakened, now various countries finally have a relatively clear goal for the study of genetics, and the leaders of various countries have begun to gradually focus on the Awakened......
They tried to analyze the source of the power of the Awakened through scientific research, and found a way for ordinary people to obtain the power of the Awakened......
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Black Rose Castle.
Of course, in a purely scientific way, analyzing the power of the awakened is itself an act of putting the cart before the horse, and the so-called has always had little effect......
On the contrary, the awakened themselves gradually mastered their own power through various means, and one by one they became monster-like existences......
The biggest difference between the awakened and ordinary people is that the natural existence of the awakened is already equivalent to the state that many ordinary people can only obtain by working hard......
Any Awakened person, as long as they are included in the Awakened organization, can easily live a relatively comfortable life and get relatively generous treatment......
And the pursuit of the awakened and ordinary people is also fundamentally different!
For ordinary people, the pursuit of immortality is the end of their dreams!
But for the Awakened, this is just the starting point!
Yes, just a starting point!
And unlike ordinary people, what the Awakened need to pursue is not only a longer life, but also a more powerful power!
In the consciousness of the awakened, there is never a life in this world that is free from power......
Longevity without the guarantee of strength is a joke in itself!
It's like a giant dragon in the Western fantasy world, a powerful life with both strength and longevity......
And like the turtle in reality, although it is long-lived, but there are very few people who can really live to the end of their life, and often die in all kinds of natural disasters and man-made disasters, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than because although they live a long life, they do not have the power of the relationship!
In the same way, if the plants and trees have spirits, they are also the same long-lived but do not have the ability to protect themselves, such as the life of Ganoderma lucidum He Shou Wu, the longer the year, the better the medicinal effect, but no matter what kind of year they can grow in theory, when they meet the herb picker, they will only have the fate of becoming medicinal materials......
Only the longevity that matches the strength is considered the real sense of longevity, if it is only a simple longevity, but without the protection of power, then in fact, it is like a husband who is innocent and guilty, but it will become his own disaster......
In the same way, many women fantasize about having a peerless appearance, but they never think that beauty itself is actually a very dangerous resource, if there is not enough protection, then the same will be plundered, and at that time, beauty will often not only not do any good, but will become a disaster!
is like the beautiful concubines who appear in the battle of the harem, and they are often killed by the queen in the end......
In the final analysis, it is nothing more than because beauty does not have the power to match it......
And in the process of pursuing power, the awakened find their own path, which can be said to be the most indispensable part! (To be continued......)
