Temple of Stone.

Instinct is a very magical power!

In this world, every creature has its own instincts, animals have animal instincts, and plants have plant instincts......

And human beings, as the most special kind of animals, naturally have instincts!

It's just that, compared to animals and plants, human instincts often exist in a hidden way and will not be easily exposed!

The reason for this is actually very simple......

Because of wisdom!

Yes, wisdom!

Compared with other creatures, the most fundamental reason why human beings can become the rulers of the earth is that human beings have wisdom that other animals and plants cannot match!

Because of the relationship of wisdom, human beings can develop their own civilization little by little, develop their own science and technology little by little, and establish their own order little by little......

The so-called wisdom, in essence, is the most rational and wise choice and judgment......

This kind of ability is not possessed by other creatures, and because of this, other creatures, they are only creatures at best, and cannot become life in the true sense!

In Wang Yu's cognition, the so-called life must have wisdom!

Without wisdom, there is no life!

The most fundamental difference between humans and other animals is that they have intelligence!

Because we have wisdom, we will think, we will judge, and we will naturally choose the most beneficial way for ourselves and our race to evolve......

Animals also evolve, they also seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but they evolve under the premise of lack of intelligence and thinking ability. It's often a very, very, very slow process, and more often than not, it's just evolution in the sense of simplicity for survival......

However, humans are different!

The evolution of human beings is not only for survival in the simple sense, but also for obtaining better living conditions!

That's why. Humans and beasts fight, humans and nature fight, and even because of the difference in ideas, there are all kinds of disputes between each other, so, with their own wisdom, little by little, the human race has become stronger......

The survival of the beast depends on its own instinct......

No, to be precise, the same is true of human existence......

In this world. It is always the instinct of the person himself that determines whether he can survive or not......

However, it is only at the level of survival......

If it were at the level of life, the situation would be completely different!

Life is a state higher than survival, survival is just to live, and life represents beauty, comfort and comfort......

A person, if he wants to survive, then he can do anything. He can do whatever he wants to do to keep himself afloat. And all are blameless......

However, if one wants to live, then one must restrain one's instincts!

Because, many times, people's instinctive desires are often emotions that are not allowed by the social order!

That's why. When a person wants to live a good life, he must restrain his instinctive desires!

And if you want to restrain one's instinctive desires, then the best way is to restrain oneself with reason!

When a person clearly knows that doing something will not do him any good. On the contrary, when there may be a definite negative effect, the person will restrain his instinctive desires and turn to the dictates of reason......

And when the majority of the entire human community is able to do this, that is when human civilization begins to develop......

The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans can use their intelligence to restrain their instincts, while animals only follow their instincts!

When animals feel tired, they will naturally find a place to sleep, but when humans fall into fatigue, the vast majority of people can restrain fatigue and do what they have to do......

It's like a lot of people can go to study, work, and do all kinds of things they don't want to do in the first place......

Because they know very well that although they don't want to do these things, they have real benefits for themselves to do these things!

The so-called good medicine is good for the disease, and the good word is good for the ear, and the truth is good!

Bitter medicine is sometimes good medicine, and advice is not good, but it is often the truth!

If animals follow their instincts, they will not choose to let themselves suffer, they will only survive comfortably when conditions permit, and will not have any sense of being prepared for danger in times of peace!

However, human beings are different, even if human beings live in a comfortable environment, they will work hard to improve their abilities, and they will naturally take precautions and be prepared for danger in times of peace!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

And this is precisely the biggest thing about humans and animals!

Human beings are sensible, intelligent, and have the ability to think!

So they know that it is beneficial for them to do something, so even if they will suffer a certain amount of pain when doing it, they will be willing to endure it and be willing to bear it......

On the contrary, animals do not have the ability to think, and all their actions are governed by their own instincts, and under such a premise, it is difficult for them to produce enough wisdom, usually. The larger the carnivore, the more creatures at the top of the food chain, the stronger their own instincts and the less likely they are to develop intelligence!

With the establishment and development of human order, the wisdom of human beings has naturally been greatly improved......

And along with the improvement of wisdom, it is the process of human civilization!

And when the progress of human civilization becomes higher and higher. Human instincts will gradually become weaker, and the mode of thinking will naturally become more and more rational!

Under this premise, when people encounter problems and troubles, they usually think more carefully about the gains and losses, and do not take care of some idle things that have nothing to do with them because of the momentary indignation......

Society always attributed this kind of problem to the indifference of the human heart, in fact, in essence, it should not be said to be indifference, but it should be said to be a manifestation of reason!

The essence of sanity. It's about following the existing rules and making the best choice!

And the indifference of modern society is actually a manifestation of the rationality of modern people!

It's like when a thief steals something, why doesn't anyone choose to stop it?

The reason is simple......

First, in modern society, the vast majority of thieves have their own gangs to commit crimes, in fact, many of them carry controlled props, which is a dangerous and aggressive group in itself. Offended thieves, for ordinary citizens. It's a dangerous thing in itself......

Second, in the modern judicial system, petty theft is almost always punished with relatively light punishments, which is not enough to curb the thief's criminal behavior, but will increase the thief's hatred for the captor......

Third. If you accidentally cause some harm to the thief in the process of arresting the thief, you may eventually be arrested and detained by the public security organs, and even need to compensate part of the property to the thief......

It is because of these reasons that people are faced with thieves when they steal. The vast majority of people who are rational enough will remain silent, not because they are indifferent, but simply because they know the rules of this society very well, and they know very well what kind of trouble they may bring to themselves if they act impulsively.

But in essence, this is not actually the indifference of the human heart, but the indifference of the system, because the system is too indifferent, so the human heart cannot become enthusiastic!

At the end of the day, the more robust the rule of law is, the more vulnerable criminal acts are......

On the contrary, in many cases, the more simple and crude the law enforcement agencies, the more often they can protect the interests of ordinary people......

In the final analysis, the moral concept of the vast majority of people in this world is linked to the law, and they will not do what the law cannot do, but if it is something outside the law, as long as it is beneficial to themselves, they will not hesitate to do it......

The more reasonable the formulation of the law, the more consistent the rules and regulations are bound to be with the universal moral concept, and on the contrary, if there is a conflict between the law and morality, it is often a certain logical error in the formulation of the law......

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

When people face many emergencies, the first emotion is often human instinct, but with the improvement of the power of order, human beings will gradually begin to subconsciously limit their instincts, and turn to think rationally about ways to solve problems!

It's like when people see a thief stealing, their instinct must be to stop the other party, and even some people will make up for their own fat and beat each other, and finally become a picture of the righteous and brave people in the situation of everyone, but often only need to think about it, such thoughts will be completely extinguished, and finally turn into silence......

Such a transformation is actually a typical suppression of instinct by reason!

And when the number of such transformations increases, human beings gradually lose their instincts and begin to think more rationally......

Of course, for many people, even if they use reason to make all their decisions, there will always be more or less errors in judgment......

And sometimes, even if you make a choice on instinct, the situation doesn't necessarily go anywhere......

Therefore, for the vast majority of ordinary people, the boundary between reason and instinct is often not clear!

Just like a beginner in a board game, when they are playing chess, they will naturally make the right move in the face of a familiar layout, and if they are faced with an unfamiliar layout, they will subconsciously choose their favorite move to play, if you ask them why they choose this way, they often can't say what the actual reason is, at best, they just want to play here, so they play here......

It's a combination of instinct and reason......

The more beginners are, the more instinctive they have, and the vast majority of these instinctive choices will be the wrong ones, but there will never be a shortage of good enough to make the master shine......

On the contrary, the more high-end chess players, the more their reason will prevail, they will not choose the next move for any vague reason, once they choose to fall, there will be absolutely reasons to choose this move, and it will definitely not be a simple sense of wanting to play here, just play here this kind of willful thought!

The occasional success of ordinary people is often just a fluke, because their success may only be due to a momentary impulse......

The continuous success of successful people will never be a fluke, because their success often comes from their reason and thinking, and every success they have has enough reasons to support!

The more rational a person is, the more he is able to restrain his instinctive desires, and the more likely he is to become a model of the so-called successful person in the eyes of ordinary people!

Their thinking mode itself is different from that of ordinary people, their own physiological desires and impulses have long been completely suppressed by reason, and they always pursue what is beneficial to themselves, rather than making them happy!

Just like Murong Fu in the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon, in order to restore the country, he would rather make his cousin sad, but also try to marry the unmasked princess of Xixia, would rather make himself physically and mentally unhappy, and do things that allow him to get closer to his goal......

Although he failed in the end, his behavior was actually very rational!

Of course, it was because he was too rational, so when he finally failed, his reason completely collapsed, and he went crazy because of this, and his own instinct, the dream of wanting to be an emperor suddenly burst out and became a madman......
