Chapter 244: Finite and Infinite Trapping the Human Race

"It is their instinct to cause an avalanche and cause a catastrophe to absolve themselves of responsibility and frame others. In this sentence, there is an extremely sinister intention, which is difficult for ordinary people to perceive, because everyone is kind. ”

"Oh? I don't see it either. Zhou Chunfeng said curiously.

Another meaning of this sentence is that when an avalanche occurs, no matter who it is, it is just an ordinary snowflake. It doesn't matter if we ordinary people are snowflakes, but those who usually occupy power and embezzle wealth have become ordinary snowflakes at this time? This sentence is vicious, deliberately washing away the sins of those people, making everyone ignore the causes of the avalanche, making everyone give up holding the culprit accountable, and letting everyone not care about the avalanche, blaming the innocent, and forcing the innocent to bear the fault. Li Qingxian sneered.

"You...... The words are not rough. So what did your grandfather say? Zhou Chunfeng said with a smile.

Li Qingxian frowned and thought for a while, and said, "What my grandfather said is very mysterious, and my father admires it very much, but he doesn't particularly agree with it. Grandpa said that the so-called 'encountering an invincible enemy' is only a superficial phenomenon, and the deep reason is that the people who hold the power of the country believe too much in the 'limited existence', and then they stagnate, and then the difficulties they encounter will inevitably surpass the limitations they believe in and cannot be solved, so the country collapses. If the infinite is pursued, then the country will continue to move forward and will not collapse. The reason why I remember this is because I don't understand it, and I think my grandfather is talking nonsense, but as I continue to think about it over the years, I understand more and more that my grandfather is insightful. ”

"Tell me how you understand it." Zhou Chunfeng said.

Li Qingxian thought for a while and said, "For example, the general's belief in his own strength is limited. The literati believed that the holy scriptures could govern the country, but there was a limit. The emperor believed that his power was limited. The people believe in Mingjun, and Mingjun is also a human being, and people are also limited. Grandpa said that the finite itself is nothing, for example, in ancient times, there would be no big changes in the world for hundreds of years, live well, believe in farming and eating, and it will be fine. But the problem is that the world is always changing, and the human race will always encounter the existence of 'beyond the finite'. ”

"Here's an example." Zhou Chunfeng said.

"For example, the Qi State thought that its own strength was very strong, and as a result, the Demon Clan surpassed the strength of the Qi State, resulting in the defeat of the Qi State. For example, the emperor of the old dynasty was actually limited, but he thought that he could control the world, and as a result, the world revolted and foreign tribes invaded. For example, there is a limit to force, there is a limit to superpower, and even the gods that humans believe in are also limited. Li Qing said leisurely.

"Those cults boast of the omnipotence of the gods." Zhou Chunfeng said.

"Whether the gods are finite or infinite, we cannot argue. The point is, is the power and benefits I receive from the gods limited or unlimited? Is the help of the gods limited or unlimited? Is the power attributable to ourselves finite or unlimited? Obviously, there is a limit. Therefore, all those who believe in the gods are believing in the finite, and it is because they believe in their own limitations and do not believe in themselves excessively that they put their hopes in the gods. ”

Li Qingxian thought for a while and continued: "It can even be said that most of us believe in the finite. I'll give you the simplest example, almost all old people will be nostalgic for the past, belittle the present, resist new things, and even many young people are always against new things, which is typical of believing in the 'limited past' and not in the 'relatively infinite future'. ”

"That's a good statement." Zhou Chunfeng pondered for a long time, and then asked, "Then what is the real infinity?" ”

Li Qingxian thought for a while and said: "Grandpa didn't elaborate, and I didn't understand it at the time, but because I have been thinking about this since I was a child, and I have thought about it for more than ten years, I dare not say that I have figured out 'infinity', I can only say that it is close to infinity." ”

"Tell me about it." Zhou Chunfeng looked at Li Qingxian with a smile.

"One is the avenue, and the bigger avenue behind the avenue, and the constant pursuit of the greater avenue is actually the pursuit of infinity. The avenue here refers to the fundamental law of all things. The other is the future, this future is not a void future, but the future of the human race, as long as the human race continues to multiply, grow, and continue to pursue the avenue, as long as it is not extinct, human beings have a kind of infinity. ”

"That's a good statement." Zhou Chunfeng fell into deep thought again.

After a full quarter of an hour, Zhou Chunfeng asked, "Why doesn't Gang Feng agree?" ”

Li Qingxian hesitated for a moment and said, "Father said that if everyone pursues the infinite and is not down-to-earth, the country will die." There is an island country in the west, and it is the most brilliant people who pursue some fantasy city-state, and finally the country is destroyed by the horse demon further west. ”

"That's true, how did your grandfather refute it?"

"My grandfather said he was tired and went to sleep."

Zhou Chunfeng smiled dumbly and said, "You have been thinking about it for more than ten years, have you ever thought about the result?" ”

Li Qingxian said: "This matter, I wanted to blow up my head, but I didn't figure out who was right and who was wrong, and in the end, I had a whim, is it true that both of them are right, but neither is it completely right?" You say, is it possible that the cause of the decline of the human race and the state is neither the pursuit of finitude nor the pursuit of infinity, but the failure to balance finite and infinite? Is it possible that the Terrans can pursue both finite and infinite nature, and if they balance the two, they will be invincible? You see, in this world, in addition to white and black, there are countless colors, but why do we Terrans always feel that what we believe is right and what others believe is wrong? Could it be, in fact, everyone is right, but not all right? It's like, everyone has a piece of the puzzle, but no one can master all the pieces of the puzzle? ”

Zhou Chunfeng was silent.

Li Qingxian said: "You say, should we allow different people to do different things, such as liking limited, just heating kang heads for wives and children, and farming to make money to support themselves." If you like the infinite, you will fantasize and think, go on adventures, find a stronger avenue, and change the world and the future. It is also allowed for one person to do two things at the same time. These things are not in conflict in themselves, but we people forcibly believe that they are conflicts, right and wrong, which leads to countless internal frictions, pains, contradictions, tragedies and disasters in the world. ”

Zhou Chunfeng looked at Li Qingxian quietly, as if he was looking at a stranger.

Zhou Hate was silent.

Zhou Chunfeng asked: "Did you really come up with it yourself?" ”

Li Qingxian shook his head and said: "Half of it is from my father, grandfather, books and the notes of the numeric magician, and half of it is that I slowly comprehended after experiencing the crisis of life and death." The last ones, not the results, are just my guesses. ”

"Do you want to pursue the finite or the infinite?"

"Adults, of course they all want to. But...... It's good to have you, Zhao Yishan, and people with great wisdom to pursue infinity, and I'll find a peaceful place, and my wife and children will be content. ”

"Where is peace in this world?"

Li Qing was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, where is peace?" Li Qingxian looked out the window in confusion, his eyes reflecting the early autumn.
