In his previous life, Fang Tian watched a movie, "Heaven and Earth Collide", which came from the country that preached freedom and equality. 1――

The film is about a comet hitting the earth, causing earthquakes, volcanoes, continental displacements, and floods around the world, and the government launched the "Ark Project" to allow 1 million people to take refuge in the ark.

How do you choose these 1 million people?

Of these, 800,000 are randomly selected by the computer, and the remaining 200,000 are designated by the power department to various social talents, such as doctors, scientists, engineers, soldiers, teachers, artists, etc.

This arrangement looks quite reasonable. -- It ensures the equality of the majority, takes care of the elite of mankind, and takes into account both ideals and reality.

The final choice of the heroine in the film is quite a celebration of the love and beauty in human nature.

This is the arrangement in the film.

What if the real situation happened?

I'm afraid it won't be so good.

But in any case, there is one question that cannot be avoided here, and that is - who is chosen and who is abandoned?

There are always people who are outcasts.

Having weight does not necessarily mean that you are not an outcast, but in any case, the probability of a person with weight becoming an outcast is always a little smaller than that of those who have no weight, right?

In Fang Tianlai's era, as long as it was not too backward countries and regions, people would enter schools to receive education when they were young, and it was not uncommon for various competitions to be filled with academic processes. At this time, the top three, top five, top ten, top twenty and so on are always drawn from the school and the school. Participate in the competition.

Why not choose it randomly?

The fact is. Those who do not have the corresponding weight do not have the right to choose. You can only seek equality among people who are in the same situation as you.

It's like a slave society. Except for a very small number of slaves, the majority of slaves are equal to each other! The more human society develops, the lower the coverage rate of "equality for all" may be.

Therefore, in the era when Fang Tian came. If you say that we are much more free than you, the slaves will be envious, but if you say that we are all equal, then the slaves will laugh.

And the magnitude of the degrees of freedom. It really has nothing to do with human nature or anything.

That is when society develops, the plundering and exploitation of nature by human beings increases, and the overall resources obtained by human beings rise. As a result, human beings have changed from "the landlord's family has no surplus grain" when the weather is not good to "the tenant farmer has also saved a few baskets" when the weather is beautiful.

In this case, something is hidden, and in the sun, it looks beautiful everywhere.

However, just hidden.

-- It has never disappeared, it has never changed.

This exercise plan is actually a trial. One is the first, and probably the last, arrangement of Owen.

Not all people are suitable for standing on high ground.

The higher the status, the more turbulent the waves, the more you need to stand firm.

There is a sentence in a Qingyan sketch called "Caigen Tan" in my previous life, "There is no wood in the high and steep places of the mountains, and the loop of the valley is full of grass and trees; there are no fish in the turbulent places of the water, and the fish and turtles gather when the pond is stagnant." That's true.

So Su Dongpo in the Song Dynasty was sighing: "It's cold in high places." ”

is not good at power struggles, but because of his fame, he has reached a high position beyond his own weight. So he was beaten by a group of opponents who were obviously more weighty in the same position, so this benevolent brother could only borrow poetry to send his nostalgia.

Since you are so weak, but you are so talented, no one who looks at it can't help but step on it.

There are two kinds of people in the world, one is not easy to step on, and the other is easy to step on and have no sense of accomplishment. But sometimes some people can miraculously combine the two situations into one, becoming a person who is both easy to step on and feel like stepping on. ...,

Scholar Sioux is one such person.

So this benevolent brother inevitably became a national treasure, and was unanimously loved and caressed by everyone, even his friends.

"I'm poor. The Lord said this in a poem.

"Poor" here does not mean that there is no money, but that it is at the end of the road. ――Of course, generally speaking, you don't necessarily have much money when you're at the end of your rope.

In his previous life, when Fang Tian read this poem, he couldn't believe that the Su scholar, who was rich and talented, would one day fall to such a point.

In this life, Fang Tian understood.

When we refine the human activity system of Lishi, Youshi, and Jingshi, we will understand.

Whether it is a rich or five cars, or a talent, Su Guobao's ability is not involved in the world, and it is not as good as the world, his field is only in the world. It's a pity that he stepped into the wrong circle, or rather, at that time, there was no circle that was large enough for him to swim freely.

So he could only enter a circle that was not suitable for him, and then was gathered by the residents of this circle to watch.

The Lord once patted his big belly and said, "I am a belly out of place." (According to this, this is his concubine Chaoyunyu.) ）

In fact, he is not out of place, but he has stepped into the wrong circle. If you don't change the circle, then it would be out of place to put him in any era.

This is the cup that is not good at climbing, and climbs to a high place.

Since Fang Tian already understood the truth of this, he would not push Owen out like this regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, so that he would "have more weight".

Weight may be a measure of success and magnificence in life, but it is by no means a measure of pride, comfort and happiness.

Fang Tian had a friend in his previous life.

Grandfather Forestry Bureau, grandfather Electric Power Bureau, two uncles, one in telecommunications, one in the postal service, two aunts, one in the Federation of Industry and Commerce, one opened a small supermarket, father and mother, a county middle school teacher, and a county hospital attending physician. And himself, in a pharmaceutical company.

All in one county.

None of them are the ones in charge of their units. Or "with a fair amount of weight".

Such a family, such a small family that has taken root and developed in a remote and backward small county. Not to mention in the province and city, it is in this county. It's not very remarkable, at least more than 99 percent of the people in this county, they don't know about them.

Are they rich? No.

Are they powerful? No.

Here, too, it's hard to call what their field is.

Here, they are like fish in water, big and small. There is always a left and right source, and when these relationships are all twisted together, the web woven is enough to keep them at least ten generations old. There is no need to "establish the world". Since there is no danger of establishing the world, the heart of wandering the world will naturally come.

Proud, comfortable or something, no need to say, but at ease.

Are billionaires happy with them?

Do the magistrates have their happiness?

Hardly.

Therefore, in Fang Tian's opinion, there were two paths for the Maple Forest Mercenary Group.

If Owen can be cultivated, and there are many heroic and upright brothers in the group, then it will be developed into a big tree, and the tree is tall, which is certainly a taboo. It can also absorb more sunshine and rain and live a more indulgent life.

If Owen is unbearable, then let the maple grove go down like this, not to the heights, but to the depths, and grow into an intertwined bush, not at all attractive, absolutely stable.

Like many alpine or desert plants.

The part that grows on the ground and appears in the public eye is very short and inconspicuous. If you dig deeper, you will find that their underground parts are more than ten times or even dozens of times longer than their aboveground parts. ...,

In this way, being downstream, living a small life without worrying about food and clothing is not necessarily a choice. -- Although this choice has great inherent shortcomings.

Fang Tian's previous life was like this.

In this life, although I was forced to do so at the beginning, I chose another path. Fang Tian, who has experienced some of the tastes on this road, even if he has the opportunity to do it again, he will not take the same path in his previous life again.

What does it taste like?

It's not the limelight, it's not the authority.

Rather, in the process of moving forward step by step, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one step at a time, one

It's both independent and open.

When I am independent, I am a small world of perfection, and when I am open, I am in harmony with the big world of the outside world.

This is what the path of his previous life could not bring him.

At this time, Fang Tian remembered another sentence.

A sentence from a previous life, which he said here, and brought him an adventure. -- Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations.

This is what a person named Zhang Zai said in the Northern Song Dynasty.

In his previous life, Fang Tian first knew this sentence, and then he knew Zhang Zai as a person, and admired this person because of this sentence.

In this life, to be specific, now, Fang Tian still admires this person.

But there is already a new view on the relationship between this person and this sentence.

What do you think?

In a word, four words. - Big and unscrupulous!

To be clear, although this sentence was said by Zhang Zai, he can't support this sentence, and he doesn't have the weight to "stand" this sentence.

Establish a heart for heaven and earth,

Establish a life for the people.

For the sake of the saints, continue to learn.

Peace for all generations.

Which of these four points did he achieve?

Taking a step back, what specific system and idea of abundance did he propose that would not move with the world?

No!

Not a single one!

So, this sentence is just this sentence, and this person, is just this person. There is no equivalence between people and words.

Zhang Zai is a very remarkable person, but there is still a gap like a moat between the greatness of Cheng Dù and the greatness of this sentence. If you study this person and this sentence carefully, it is just that heaven and earth have reason, and through the hands of this person, this person is just a transit, and that's it.

Or to put it nicely: Heaven and earth have reason, and even sages come out. It can be said that people are only virtuous.

In ancient China, there were clouds, virtue, meritorious service, and speech, which were three immortals.

What is immortality?

It is not abandoned by the world, but it can move with the world.

From Fang Tian's current point of view, among the thousands of Chinese characters in his previous life that he has understood, Lao Tzu can be counted as one, Confucius can be counted as one, Shu Xiang can be counted as one, Qin Huang can be counted as one, and a certain OSS who has been tampered with by Fang Tian in this life can be counted as one.

There is another one, no, in the end, this can only be counted as half, that is, Yang Er, who has declined to a considerable extent.

According to some novels in his previous life, Yang Er is a typical character who "proves the Tao with strength".

However, it is a pity that this gentleman did not succeed, and the result was ashes.

His "Tao" was inherited for a while.

So it's only half a count.

......

The night breeze is cool, and the night dew is cool.

It seemed to be blown and moistened by this wind and dew, and in Fang Tian's mind, the thoughts like boundless reeds gradually condensed, and finally formed a drop of dew, dripping into Fang Tian's mind.

I have a goal that runs through my life;

I have a deep sense of identity, yearning and pride in this goal;

I will always walk on the road to this goal, even if it is slow, if it will never be there.

This is the dew. (To be continued......)
