The word "retribution" seems to be ordinary, in fact, it is a very interesting word, it is the word "retribution" and "should", these two words seem to have the same thought, are the result of talking about an inducement, but in fact, there are still some slight gaps when you think about it, first say the word "report", "report", we can't help but think of "cast it with a peach, repay it with a li", it feels more about repaying, informing and so on, it seems that the good result is slightly more, at least there is a good level; The words are different, and the feeling is that at most they are neutral words or passive nature, such as response, "the king of Song has no way to respond", etc., and more of them are "kill it to respond to Chen Shi", or "urgent last resort, but to respond to the order to the capital" and other passive acceptance levels.

Speaking of the part of speech of "retribution", if it is a noun, it refers to a result, whether it is good or bad is uncertain, if it is a verb, it is an active search for results, of course, it means more punishment. In fact, regardless of noun or verb, once the word "retribution" is put together, it is more of a punishment nature, for example, in daily life, we often refer to a person "retribution is unpleasant" or "should be retributed", especially the famous saying "good is rewarded with good, evil is rewarded with evil, it is not that there is no retribution, the time has not come" For thousands of years, it has sounded the alarm for countless people, and there will be such a bloody awe in the depths of people's hearts, which can affect people's thinking and decision-making to a certain extent.

For thousands of years, from ancient times to the present, there have been countless stories and legends about "retribution", and these stories have all been covered with a thick veil of mystery, which makes people believe that they exist and can be traced back to their origins, but they cannot be verified and examined. For example, in "Notes on Yu Quyuan", the protagonist Wang Jun killed countless people because he liked to eat frog skewers, but he was pierced through the neck with an iron bar and died, and the story is very similar to the death of a frog. Of course, the more famous is that the king of the Shang Dynasty was retributed for tyranny and harshness, greed for women, peeping at Nuwa Niangniang, writing obscene poems, and finally even forgetting the country, and he died in a fire, which can be said to be retribution (but the strange thing is that such a person was also a god after death, which is incomprehensible... ）。 Isn't the source of the whole story in "Journey to the West" that Li Shisheng invited Tang Sanzang to go to the West to seek scriptures and resolve his sins in order to make meritorious contributions and make great achievements, and in order to escape evil retribution?

If you extend it a little further, you will be surprised to find that in the world of retribution (if you believe), almost all people and everything cannot get rid of the power of retribution, such as "fate" and "fate", it seems that all the actions of all things in the world are predestined by the previous life or more than the previous life, since everything we do is for fate, or arranged by fate, then everything in this world seems to be entangled with the word "retribution" and is entangled.

However, "retribution" is not absolute, as if it can be defused or weakened by various "good deeds" or other means, since God who makes the rules has room for negotiation, so this causal relationship is used by almost all religions, advocating the inevitable relationship of "karma", and through various means to make people believe that its religious power can make people have good "retribution" If you don't believe in its religious dogma and don't practice according to its prescribed dogma, you will suffer countless evil retributions, instilling huge psychological pressure on people, strengthening their religious ruling power and glue power, and making people want to stop.

As a result, there are more and more means of changing "retribution", and the corresponding professions and people who make a living from them are emerging in an endless stream and renovating their patterns. "Feng Shui", "witchcraft", and even "astrology" from the West, countless good men and women of various religions, these various groups of people are actually occupations that try to change their own or others' destiny. If you talk about it more extensively, in recent years, philanthropists have been emerging in the society, donating a large number of people to do good, I don't know if they also have some selfish intentions?

So, after talking for a long time, is there or is there no retribution? Can retribution be changed? What kind of role do the ghosts and gods (if any) whom we have always feared be in this eternal law? Are they transcendent or at the mercy of fate?
