Chapter 50: Anthy's Happiness Hierarchy Theory
If you add an anime filter to the living room where Anthy and Bourne are now, then you can see an extremely classic scene-
A string of ellipses popped out of Byrne's head, and then his whole body gradually turned white and petrified from bottom to top, and then cracked with a click.
“…… Fun people? ”
For the first time, Byrne wondered if he had misheard.
It stands to reason that an agent, especially an ace agent, should have absolute confidence in himself and will not easily have this kind of suspicion, but Anxi's words are too ...... Shocked him.
Because of the problem of translation, in Byrne's ears, "Le Zi Man" is actually "Fun Seeker", after all, whether in French or English, there is no special vocabulary for Le Zi Man, and after the translator's mouth, it will inevitably become a lot more serious.
In the same way that you take a poem and turn it into English and then turn it back, there is always a strange meaning, and there are often mistakes.
For example, "Don't worry about the road ahead, no one in the world knows you", after two translations, it becomes "Don't worry about the road ahead, no one in the world knows you", and the weird atmosphere came up in an instant, right?
Switching between two languages is usually problematic, not to mention that one of them is now very different from the other languages in Chinese.
Of course, while such a translation may sound shocking at first glance, the core is the same.
"You heard me right."
Anthy said: "All living beings are suffering, so we should be more active in finding happiness and finding the true meaning of life. ”
After the confirmation of "......", Bourne began to doubt life.
"You must have had some misunderstandings."
Anthy is not surprised, normal people must be difficult to accept at the first time, let alone an agent with a determined heart like Jason Bourne.
"Yes." Byrne thought about it, but still couldn't help but say nothing.
But Anthy spoke for him.
"Do you think what we're about to do has nothing to do with finding happiness?" Anthy asked.
“…… Yes. Byrne nodded.
"Have you heard of Maslow's hierarchy of needs?" Anthy did not directly point out where the happiness was.
Byrne shook his head: "It sounds like a psychological theory, I haven't been in charge of tasks in this direction for the time being, so I haven't studied it systematically." ”
"Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory says that people's needs will be arranged layer by layer according to importance and hierarchy, from physiological needs to safety needs, social needs, respect needs, and self-actualization needs."
Anthy said: "Applying this set of theories to us musicians is a different level of finding fun, which I call ...... Anthy Happiness Hierarchy Theory.
In the beginning, it is physiological happiness, warm food and clothing, enough to sustain survival, you can be satisfied, you can eat whatever you want to eat, you can be happy.
Then, there is the happiness of safety, where career and property will not be plundered at will, and having a safe living environment without worrying about being threatened by life at any time is a place to relax and enjoy yourself.
And, socially, emotionally happy—friendship, and love—to find both of these feelings in order to be happy.
Then, the development of respect, a stable social status, respected by others, personal ability to be recognized by the society, reflected in the society is the pursuit of personal power and status, which of course will also bring happiness, after all, there is a saying that power is the best aphrodisiac for men.
Last but not least—"
Anthy paused slightly.
At this time, Byrne had already concentrated all his attention on listening to Anthy's words, and by the time Anthy was halfway through his words, Bourne had already understood that he should have misunderstood Anthy, the purpose of the organization to which they belonged, and their creed, were far deeper than he had imagined, even if they seemed a little unorthodox on the surface.
"The happiness of self-actualization, personal ideals, aspirations, and personal abilities, when combined to the highest degree and achieve the desired results, is indescribable and the most difficult to obtain.
That's what we're doing now, that's what we're doing. ”
"......I see," Bourne sighed.
He understood.
He finally knew why Anthy gave him the feeling of "being a good person".
"Tell me about your understanding." Anthy said.
He wanted to see what Bourne understood.
Mainly, that's all there is to it, and if you say anything else, the inventory will be squeezed out, and won't it be exposed at that time?
Just listen to Bourne's influence on the entry "is a good person", and then hear his own words that sound very serious, what do you think of...... Anthy was still curious about what the combination of the two would lead to.
"Because, they are trampling on the happiness of others."
Bourne gathered his thoughts and said slowly.
"They are abusing the power in their hands, squeezing the happiness of others, they are at the level of respect, but what they are doing is not respectable, just fearful.
They wantonly develop, exploit society, materialize feelings, and make them cheap.
They wield force, compromise security, and eventually even reach for the physiology......
And Director Fury, you are going to deprive them of their happiness through our way, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
While upholding the right of others to be happy, we also realize our own happiness! ”
“……”
Anthy felt that Byrne must have misunderstood something.
After all, Anzay doesn't think he's a good person...... At most, he has a flexible bottom line, and he will do something good without affecting his own fun, which is still incidental because the objects of his fun are all bad people.
And now, according to Byrne, he seems to have become some kind of good guy who fights for justice and truth, and only uses fun as an excuse?
The basic concept is confused!
Well, under the influence of [being a good person], it's normal for Bourne to have such thoughts.
"Yes, you're right, that's what I think, and that's how I do it!"
Anthy nodded "in acknowledgement" without hesitation.
Some things are just clear to yourself, and you don't have to say them too clearly.
It is certainly a good thing that his subordinates have an attitude of respect, admiration and approval for themselves.
After all, character entries are not set in stone.
If an entry affects the world, it will also be affected by the world.
Even if there is a setting in Bourne's entry to obey Anthy's orders, he is also a person with his own thoughts.
If Anthy's actions are too contrary to his character and values, it is not impossible that this setting will be slowly changed and disappear.
Of course, if that happens, Anthy can continue to change, but that would be too wasteful of revisions, isn't it?
What's more, Anthy doesn't bother to do that kind of thing.
It is undoubtedly a good deal to be able to rely on a small misunderstanding of "100 million" to obtain a subordinate who is loyal, recognized, respected, and admired, and saves the number of modifications!
"Sure enough!" Byrne's gaze at Anthy changed, he had only instinctively obeyed orders in his memory, but now he finally understood why he had done it.
Such a creed, to do such a thing, just thinking about it, Byrne felt excited.
Even if it's to be a multi-faceted spy for this......
When so many years of dedication are over, breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly, what kind of magnificence will the moment the result be presented?
And now, it is the pre-step step to break the cocoon into a butterfly, and form a cocoon!
Blossoming and fruiting are just around the corner!
