Jia Liping looked at Li Zhen's expression as if something was wrong.

Curiously asked, "Master Li, what's wrong?" ”

Li Zhen closed his eyes and said dreamily: "Liping, you said that the new Kyushu was established and the national strength was prosperous." As the overlord of the world, we can sweep the world at any time if we want. But why is there still horse thieves in Shin-Kyushu, where the country is so prosperous? ”

Jia Liping was confused: "Master Li, whether the national strength is prosperous or not, there is no direct connection with whether there are horse thieves, right?" ”

"Nope. You are wrong, there is a direct connection. Let me ask you, what was the identity of those horse thieves before they became horse thieves? ”

Jia Liping frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Fugitives? ”

"What was the fugitive before he became a fugitive?"

"A man who has sinned?"

"What was the one who sinned before he sinned?"

Jia Liping was stunned: "People? ”

Li Zhen nodded: "Yes, it's the people." There will never be an absolute good person in this world, and there will never be an absolute bad person. At the beginning of man, nature is good. However, as you grow older, you will be affected by the social environment you are exposed to, the level of education you have received, and the various accidents in the world, as well as some unavoidable things. And so there will be all kinds of people. ”

"Oh?"

"The world is full of accidents. People are also full of accidents. You say, it's people who influence how things happen. Or does it affect the change of the person? ”

Jia Liping's head was a mess, and he said tentatively: "Is it things that change people?" ”

"No, it's people who are involved in things."

"Yes, it's people who are involved in things."

"Not true. It is people who are involved in things. Things change, and things in turn affect people. ”

Jia Liping opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Li Zhen said again: "Then back to the previous topic, you say." Why are there horse thieves in the world? ”

Jia Liping's eyes lit up: "Master Li, what you want to say is." Everyone is born the same. But as you continue to participate in the progress of some things, and thus be influenced by things, there is a change? Some people get better, some people get worse? ”

Li Zhen nodded: "Yes." Good and bad, that's how it comes out. But this is again a paradox, because there are no absolute good people in the world, and there are no absolute bad people. The so-called good person is only because his actions have been recognized by the majority of people and benefit the majority of people, so he is defined as a 'good person'. And the bad guy is only because what he does is contrary to the mainstream, and what he does causes others to lose profits. So his definition is a bad person. ”

"However, humans are social animals. Therefore, the main idea of this paradox is correct. So, this society needs more good people. Because in the end, only unity, only mutual cooperation, can we achieve a wider range of progress, collective progress. And the bad guys have become the ones who drag the collective back. Standing on such a precondition, you can analyze why there are bad guys? ”

Jia Liping slapped his thigh:

"Bad people are not bad people in the first place, they are just influenced by things, so they go to participate in the progress of another thing, and then play the role of dragging their feet in another thing. So the bad guys appeared. ”

"So what do you say was the original motivation for the bad guys? What motivates them to be influenced by things? And what affected them? ”

Jia Liping was silent for a long, long time this time.

'Buzz'

Suddenly, on the main road outside the window, a plough machine drove by. The people of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau were driving the plough with proud expressions on their faces.

And all the surrounding people surrounded him, smiling with a sneer: "Brother Xu, when will my land be plowed?" ”

"Brother Xu, the whole family is waiting. Plough my house first, right? ”

"Plow my house."

“……”

Looking at this scene, Jia Liping suddenly thought of the lifeless Jinchang County a few days ago, and the Jinchang County where the people were barbaric and forced the palace government. The contrast is striking.

Suddenly, Jia Liping seemed to have figured out something: "Master Li." Because I was poor, I became bad! ”

Li Zhen nodded, and shook his head again: "You're half right." ”

"And what's the other half?"

Li Zhen said calmly: "Once a person is poor. Then there will be four outcomes, the first result is that it is just like this, it will be passed, it will be done, and then it will be lazy, and this result is the most likely. The second result is that when you become honest, you always feel inferior and inferior. This outcome is less likely.

The third result is, why do you feel poor? Why are others rich? So he wants to live the life of other people, and if he is jealous, he will go down the wrong path. This is not unlikely.

The fourth outcome is less likely, although I don't want to admit it, but this is actually a reality. He felt that he was poor, so he was angry and determined to become a master. So he became more diligent, and he had a greater chance of really becoming a master. But he's not a bad guy or a good guy, he's going to be a hero. This possibility is the smallest. ”

Jia Liping sneered: "Isn't Master Li the fourth result?" ”

Li Zhen ignored his sycophancy, and said:

"No matter how thorough the education is, the examples are all kinds of vivid. But the reality is that the possibility of the fourth outcome is always the smallest. Because of man's inertia. So, from a probability point of view, if the probability is small, we directly assume that it is impossible. So under these conditions, do you know why there are horse thieves? ”

Jia Liping nodded: "People die for money, and birds die for food." Poverty is not terrible, poverty coupled with jealousy is. Poverty, jealousy, and a bad heart make it even more terrible. ”

"Yes. That's why there are horse thieves in the world. ”

Li Zhen stood up and sighed worriedly: "Liping, have you noticed that everyone is blinded by a leaf?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"Everyone only saw the wealth of Dongzhou, but in fact, the myth of Dongzhou is impossible to replicate. Dongzhou has become a foregone conclusion, it will always be so rich, and other places will always be so poor. There's nothing you can do about it. So do you know what is about to change in this society? ”

Jia Liping shook his head blankly: "I don't know." ”

Li Zhen took a deep breath, and there was a thick worry in his eyes: "This society is about to be polarized. Where the poor are poorer, the rich are richer. The poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer. I don't mean financial poverty, but spirituality, the kind of poverty that doesn't worry about three meals a day, but always feels poorer than others. Financially, with the support of the state, there is no problem in collectively entering into food and clothing. But the sense of disparity in people's hearts can never be satisfied. ”

"The money of the poor is squeezed by the rich. The rich are getting richer and richer. And the hatred of the rich by the poor will become more and more obvious. ”

"In this society, the gap between the rich and the poor is starting to widen."

Li Zhen suddenly turned his head and stared at Jia Liping tightly: "So do you know what the consequences are?" ”

Jia Liping's frightened face was a little pale, and he said, "I, I don't know." ”

Li Zhen sighed: "Basically no one can see this consequence now. But in fact, the consequences are already obvious, Jinchang County can already know the autumn from a leaf, and the social contradictions are becoming more and more serious. More and more intense. The poor will feel that they are poor and that they are justified in being poor. If you are rich and the rich are not coming from the right way, you should give all the money of the rich to the poor. So, I have a hunch that more Jinchang will start to appear.

And when I talk about horse thieves, it's just an introduction. It's also a signal. ”
