Chapter 227 Definitions

What is the reason for the actual distance between the two parties? I thought about it and came up with a word, social distancing. It is precisely because of the social distance between the nobles and the commoners that this kind of practical distance of thousands of miles will appear. Why, then, are those first nobles not far from us, but the current nobles so far away from us? ”

"The first nobles often fought in conjunction with soldiers, why are there so few nobles now?"

"The first generation of nobles could eat barley with everyone, why do the current nobles have to ** fine wheat?"

"The first nobles exchanged their lives and blood for glory and spoils, why do the current nobles only shrink into the castle and play with their privileges?"

"Why did those really powerful and heroic first nobles never deliberately avoid the commoners, never deliberately emphasized the difference between the nobles and the commoners, but the current nobles desperately isolated themselves from the commoners?"

"I thought about it for a long time, and finally figured out that the current nobles are protecting themselves."

"Why should they protect themselves? It's because they're afraid. What are they afraid of? Fear of one's own incompetence, fear of one's own privileges, status, and wealth without the wisdom, prestige, and abilities of one's fathers and grandfathers. From the bottom of their hearts, they felt that they were not worthy of these privileges, status, and wealth, because the first nobles were great men that they could not surpass or even stand side by side in their lifetime. ”

"They know better that their ancestors fought for their dreams, for glory, for the city-state, for the people, but they only fought for themselves."

"In order to protect their privileges, status, and wealth, they have made up a lie that they are qualified to inherit the power, status, prestige, ability, wisdom, and even glory of their ancestors, that they are noble, noble, and that others are naturally 'cheap'. They have redefined humanity and reclassified humanity. With this definition, they can hide their fears, disguise their incompetence, and establish justification for inheriting all the inheritance of their ancestors. ”

"In order to make the new definition more solid, in order to make their position more stable, they will take the initiative to expand the social distance between the nobles and the commoners, and use all means to beautify the morality, good deeds, strength, legitimacy, dedication, courage, etc., etc., and put all the virtues that originally belonged to mankind on the nobles, and then put all the evils that originally belonged to the common human beings on others, such as businessmen who are rich but not nobles, such as those who are slightly more powerful than ordinary people, For example, those self-made emerging forces, such as a very small number of lazy civilians. ”

"Such an act itself is not terrible, what is terrible is that as the nobles beautify themselves all year round, some commoners really believe it!"

"Many people may think that some people believe it when they believe it, but what is it? In fact, once the commoners believe in the glorification of the aristocracy, even if they feel that the privileges, status, and honor of the nobility are deserved, then these people will inevitably believe that the other side of the opposite, the commoners are inferior, or in other words, believe that at least some of the commoners are inferior. ”

"Once you believe in the noble and the low, once you believe in this definition, there will only be two kinds of civilians in the world."

"One is to believe that he can only be a commoner, just a servant of the nobles, he should be enslaved by the nobles, he should listen to the nobles, what the nobles say is right, and the fate of his life is doomed. These people are constantly solidifying the authority of the aristocracy. ”

The second type of person thinks that although he is a commoner now, he may be a nobleman in the future, and he cannot become a nobleman, but his descendants may become a nobleman. As a result, these people will be more vigorous than the first type of people to defend the authority of the nobility, and they will spare no effort to advocate the distance between the nobility and the commoners, and they feel that they are defending their future selves and future generations. This kind of person will also continue to solidify the authority of the nobility. ”

"The second kind of people seem to have a good idea, do they really have a chance to become nobles? They ignore the most important core, and when they accept the definition and privileges of nobility, they have completely handed over the decision to promote to nobility. ”

"The sad man will never find out that the aristocracy has made the final definition from the beginning: they are commoners, eternal commoners, commoners who can never threaten the nobility! No matter how hard they try, no matter what they do, they will never escape this definition, and they will always be spinning in this definition, but they think they are moving forward. The pigs in the pigsty probably think the same way. ”

The eyes of all the displaced people flashed with deep sorrow.

"Do you think that's the most terrible thing? No. What's even more terrifying is that the children of commoners, once they find out that they have been civilians for generations, will completely give up the struggle, completely give up moving, like walking corpses, like machine puppets, like beasts to do things for the nobles. In order to survive, you fled from Gray River Town, but after a few generations or more than ten generations, your children and grandchildren, even if they starve to death, will not leave Gray River Town for a single step. Because, they have thoroughly accepted the nobles' definition of them: the two-legged beasts of Grey River. ”

The bodies of the displaced people trembled slightly.

"Do you think that's the worst thing? No! What's even more terrifying is that the first generation of nobles completed the feat, and the next three generations of nobles solidified the distance, so what about the later nobles? What the hell do they think? You know what Kanmonla thinks? He doesn't regard himself as a human being at all, only as a nobleman like a god, and he really treats you as pigs and dogs, you as cattle and sheep, and you as animals! In the eyes of Kanmonla, you were barley beasts in the beginning! Later, it was a beast that did not grow wheat well! And then there were some of the brutes nailed to the stakes! Now, it's a brute on the run! In the end, it's the brutes who let them earn military merit! ”

"You are a bunch of brutes who have been kicked out of their homes, a bunch of brutes who have killed all their relatives, a bunch of brutes who are about to starve to death, a bunch of brutes who don't dare to touch Kanmonla's feet even so!"

Zachary could barely hold the spear in his hand and whispered, "Don't say it, don't say it......"

Many of the displaced people have been unable to cry and have even fallen to the ground, losing the strength to stand.

"Don't talk about it......"

"Don't talk about it......"

Many wept and pleaded.

The three tablemates behind Su Ye silently shed tears.

It turns out that not only themselves, but everyone in this world is climbing in magma.

After a long while, Su Ye continued to speak.

"Is there only one kind of nobility and two kinds of commoners in the human race? No! ”

"I read all the books and found that there is another kind of person, that is, there are no nobles or commoners in the eyes, and people who only regard themselves as human beings. Such a person will not be defined by the nobility, nor will he be limited by the status of a commoner, and will neither be influenced by the aristocratic family, nor will he be destroyed by the commoner family. This kind of person defines his own life and pursues his own value and meaning! ”

"Every great man and sage in history, whether it is a nobleman or a commoner, is the first to get rid of the shackles of nobles and commoners, get rid of the definition given to him by others, and get rid of the definition given to himself by his past self!"

"They first betray the past, and then, become legends and become heroes!"

"Now, you are defined by Kanmonla as maggots, dung, lazy, waste, mobs, robbers, and hacking brutes, do you admit it?"

"Don't admit it!"

"We're not!"

"We're not!"

Many homeless people wept and shouted.

"No, you're maggots! It's a mob! It's a bandit! It's a brute! It's rubbish! ”

Su Ye looked at the homeless people in front of him contemptuously, and did not hide the contempt in his heart.

The homeless people looked at Su Ye angrily, and at the same time were full of deep disappointment.

I thought that Su Ye was a person who understood himself.

It turned out that he was the same as the nobles.

"You think I'm going to praise you, encourage you, acknowledge you? Don't laugh! You, from beginning to end, have been defined by the nobility as brutes, constantly moving around, and the biggest difference between you and the brutes in the town is that you are the brutes who dare to leave the town. ”

"You can't insult us like that!"

"Shut up!"

"We are heroes! We are rebelling against the aristocracy! ”

"Yes, we are righteous men!"

Su Ye sneered: "Righteous man? Hero? Rebelling against the aristocracy? Tell me, then, which hero killed the tenant farmer in Karn who was dismembered by you for protecting his granary? His wife and eldest son were killed by which righteous man? His youngest daughter, who was just a few months old, was thrown into the fire and burned alive by a righteous man! Say! Tell me! ”

The homeless people were silent.

Zachary lowered his head, his face full of remorse.

"Righteous man? Hero? When you slaughter sheep and barbecue while watching the shepherds commit suicide by throwing themselves into the river, is it something that a righteous man can do, or a hero can do it? When you go around the houses of the nobles and loot the food of the poor people, do you call yourselves righteous or hero? ”

All the outcasts bowed their heads.

"Only brutes wield their swords and slash at young children; Only brutes will cut and kill innocent civilians; Only brutes will kill innocents under all kinds of pretexts! ”

"You will say, you are angry, you are bitter, you are sad, you have nowhere to vent, but what is the use of killing the innocent of the weak? Yours are doing this as much as a lion preying on a wounded antelope, or like a tiger catching a clumsy fawn, just by instinct, by animals! ”

"If you are a human being, if you have a little bit of humanity, if you are really angry, if you are really painful, if you really want to vent, if you really want the world to know what you are going through, if you really want the world to know about you, then you will not bite the weak like animals, but you will show the side of human beings above animals."

"You know what's higher than the animal side and what the human side is, you know? You don't know, because your minds are like brutes! Come, look at me, and I will tell you what the human side is. ”

"Swing your sword and slash at the nobles who are high above!"

"The nobility is the root of all your suffering! is the target of your wrath! Not weak innocents. ”
