XXXVIII. The Sage of Light (13)
XXXVIII. The Sage of Light (continued)
Everyone was stupid for a moment, what did Kaigula mean by saying such a thing? A shaman scolded: "Kaigula, you are spreading rumors, our great temple of light, the believers of the great god of light will not lag behind those infidels. β
Hearing this, countless people also began to discuss, they were not willing to accept this reality, is the Temple of Light really far inferior to the Yanhuang Clan? Kaigula closed his eyes, and he knew that someone would say this, yes, the Temple of Light has ruled on the Western Continent for more than 150,000 years, and it has almost wiped out the hundred races, and the force it has is incomparable, even the sinners of the darkness can only be at a disadvantage, but now there is suddenly a person running and saying that you are already behind, this kind of thing is unacceptable to anyone, to be honest, no one has come up to fight with Kaigula until now It is already very face-saving for the Pope.
After a long while, when everyone had basically stopped talking about it, he said: "I expected everyone to be like this, this is a manifestation of not facing up to reality, as a believer in the great God of Light, I don't want this to be the truth, but the fact is the fact, even the great God of Light cannot be changed, if we don't face up to the facts, we are still intoxicated in the beautiful dreams we have woven ourselves, then what hope do we have? What can we do other than anesthetize ourselves if we don't want to wake up from such a sweet dream?"
Kaigula gently spit out his own words, although his voice was not too loud, but it was very clear into everyone's ears, and even the chatter of tens of thousands of people below could not hide his voice: " When the Great Wall of the Yanhuang people crossed the vast East and West Seas and reached the Western Continent, it proved that our Western Continent was far behind the Yanhuang in terms of shipbuilding and other skills; when the Yanhuang people had the courage to cross the East China Sea and the West Sea and reach the Western Continent, we were already far inferior to them in terms of courage; when the Yanhuang people had the courage to abolish the slavery system at Shengbuluo Port, we were already far behind politically by the Yanhuang people; when the Yanhuang people invaded the Western Continent by economic means, causing countless nobles on the Western Continent to go bankrupt and those small handicraft workshops to go bankrupt, it proved that our economic model was far behindWhen our army was faced with the blow of the Yanhuang tribe's heavenly punishment, we were no longer a military opponent of the Yanhuang tribe, and when the Yanhuang tribe had the courage to invite all the tribes to settle down in their Yanhuang kingdom, it had already proved that we could not compare with the Yanhuang tribe in tolerance. Aren't these proofs sufficient? Can we still say that we are more advanced, more civilized, and more developed than the Yan and Huang people? If we don't even dare to admit this, dare not face it, and still less dare to challenge some of our traditions and change some of our practices, so that we can also become stronger, then what can I say? What else can we do?"
No one dares to make a sound anymore, yes, this is a fact, this is a fact that everyone in the Western Continent, including those stupid orcs, knows the truth, although they don't want to admit that these are facts, but the facts are the facts, if you don't admit it, if you don't admit it, what can you show besides showing the narrow mind of a person and a race? If you still desperately weave some lies to cover up the facts, it can only prove that you are no longer saved, and a person and race who cannot face up to reality are not saved.
The audience was silent for a while, no one had ever dared to say these words publicly, but Kaigula said it, or publicly in front of countless people, and they couldn't listen to it if they wanted to. Seeing that no one in the audience spoke, Ruger said, "Your Excellency, what is the second sentence you want to say?"
Kaigula sighed and said, "The second sentence I want to say is 'Shame and courage,' which was taught to me by Patriarch Han Wenzheng, who said: ' A person, a race, backwardness is not the most terrible, because, no one, a race dares to say that they are the most powerful in all aspects, even if they are stronger in a certain aspect, but they are also deficient in some aspects, my Yanhuang clan is relatively powerful in some aspects compared to your various races on the Western Continent, but, compared with some more powerful races in the universe, my Yanhuang clan is still backward in many places. A person and race who dare to face up to the facts, in order to find their own strengths and shortcomings, and then, with their own efforts to make up for their own shortcomings, knowing that their backwardness is a shame, but this shame is not always a shame, this shame can only be an incentive for a real warrior, as long as you are willing to work hard to learn, to struggle, you can catch up with the advanced, or even surpass the advanced, so it doesn't matter if you are backward, the most important thing is to be able to be shameful and courageous, so that you can laugh to the end. If you don't dare to face reality, blindly escape from reality, indulge in the lies and dreams you weave, fall behind forever, and don't know how to forge ahead, this is the real shame. Today, I will learn this sentence with you, the Yanhuang people are stronger than us, then there is nothing remarkable, everyone is the same person, their Yanhuang people are not smarter than us, what can we do for the Yanhuang people? Are we never thinking of doing this or do we don't have the courage to do it? We, we lack courage, as long as we have courage, we will definitely be able to catch up with the footsteps of the Yanhuang people in the future, or even surpass them. β
Shame and courage, this sounds very uncomfortable, but I have to accept it, backwardness is a shame, backwardness will be beaten, backwardness will be bullied, this is race, The reality of the struggle for hegemony between countries, now, the sword of the Yanhuang clan has been pushed into their chests, although it has not yet penetrated their vital point, but if it continues like this, it will be a matter of time before the Western Continent is conquered by the Yanhuang clan, although they don't want to admit it, but their reason tells them that this is the truth, in this case, what else can they do except to catch up? Could it be that the God of Light can help them change this fact?
Kegula said: "The third thing I want to say is' Tolerance is great', tolerance, is one of the biggest characteristics of the Yanhuang people, their minds are big enough to tolerate everything, to tolerate everything, to tolerate everything, different religions, different political models, different economies, different cultivation models, etc., they can all tolerate, they are more able to tolerate other races, with other races to survive together, progress together, they can tolerate other religions, and other religions all learning and progress, more able to absorb the strengths of other religions, and so on, compared to them, we are too far away from them, we can't tolerate other things at allγ β
After a pause, Kaigula continued: "I once consulted the patriarch Han Wenzheng with the word Rong Naida, and Han Wenzheng said: 'The reason why a high mountain can become a high mountain is because it can contain everything, such as dirt, stones, trees, weeds, etc., and can contain these, so that the mountain can accumulate a lot, and finally become a high mountain. The sea is the sea because it can contain all the water that flows into it, and when it accumulates countless amounts of water, it becomes the largest sea, and if the sea keeps water out, then the sea is not the sea. What do you think of that?"
No one spoke, they were shocked by Kaigula's words for a while, this is also really amazing, there is tolerance, a very simple but contains countless mysterious philosophical words, yes, only tolerance can make themselves very powerful, to the point that no one can match, water, very simple water, that is no matter how big the river, human beings can conquer, but when countless waters are gathered and become a sea like the West Sea, can human beings still be able to conquer? I'm afraid that even the Yanhuang clan doesn't dare to say that they have conquered the West Sea, right?
Kaigula said: "It seems that everyone has understood what I said, and what I want to say again is, let go of our narrow vision, let go of our narrow mind, let us open our eyes, let us see everything clearly, let us open our hearts, to meet everything, this is what we should do, this is what a believer in the God of Light should do." β
Count Craig felt a little bit of taste in his heart, and asked, "Your Excellency, then how should we do it?" "Of course, words are not just words, that is what we need to do bit by bit, and today, when we do it, in the laws of the Yanhuang clan, they are very humane, and Patriarch Han Wenzheng has told me more than once that 'the law is nothing more than human feelings'. People are not gods, God will not make mistakes, but people will definitely make mistakes (people are not sages, who can be without fault), it doesn't matter if people make mistakes, the most important thing is to be able to know mistakes, and after knowing mistakes, they can have the courage to correct them, and then become a good person (people are permanent, and then can change), if they know their mistakes and can correct them, this is already the best, (knowing that mistakes can be changed, and being good is great). Take these thieves who we judge today, they have indeed made mistakes, but they have already known their mistakes, and they have the courage to correct them, and they have thrown themselves in front of the city lord and confessed their sins, which in itself is an act of knowing their mistakes and correcting them, and they have proved their courage to correct them with their own actions, so why can't we give them a chance, and we must kill them? I admit that they have caused a lot of harm to people, but even if we kill them, it is irreparable, so why don't we be tolerant?"
Kegula then raised his voice and said, "Touch your own hearts and ask yourselves, have you never done anything wrong in your own life? Have you never sinned in your own life? Yes, even if you don't, what about your relatives? And your friends? When they have sinned, have you ever thought that you would forgive their sins? To your relatives and friends, I'm sure you'll be tolerant of them, right?"
This is reasonable, but when one's relatives and friends commit a crime, will I tolerate them? The premise is, of course, to know the mistake, in a family, if his son commits a crime, if he knows the mistake, the parents will be tolerant of him, this is human nature, but also human nature, of course, pushing oneself and others This requires a certain moral sentiment, not everyone can do this, at least, there are not many people who can do this, if there are a few more people in this world who can do the right thing to push themselves and others, then this world will be much more peaceful, our ancestors taught:" Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is this principle, but in this world, there are always many people who understand and few people who can do it, that's all.
