(2-in-1 update, 3 and 4 o'clock and one more)

Cheng Mo never imagined that one day he would talk about the philosophy he believed in in the belly of an island, in fact, he was not a believer in the Stoics, but in the days when he was suffering from heart disease, believing in Stoicism could make him rational enough to face the illness calmly.....

Of course, what Cheng Mo gained from Stoicism was not only some superficial comfort, such as a sentence in the "Meditations": "Rely on reason at all times, not on anything else, and know how to be calm in the pain of losing a beloved son and being riddled with a long illness." ”

This sentence has always been Cheng Mo's highest motto to guide himself in the face of difficulties.

In fact, Cheng Mo's study of the Stoics is very deep, and if he wants to sum up, "calmness, forbearance, valuing virtue, and despising material comforts" are the four key words of the Stoics.

The reason why Cheng Mo felt that he was not a Stoic believer was that he was very lazy in the practice of "valuing virtue", and Cheng Mo never felt that he was a person who valued virtue.

Therefore, he was not a true Stoicist, capable of reluctantly suffering.

In Cheng Mo's view, the Stoics are a unique theology, taking the path of "the unity of heaven and man", as a Stoic believer, in the end, it is necessary to have the same global view as God, and be consistent with the soul of the universe, so that all troublesome things will not exist.

The scourging and ridicule of the world, the humiliation and ridicule of the oppressor, the indifference and ignorance of the arrogant, the contempt of the favorite and the misery of the loss of love, the extension of the law and the tyranny of the officials.......

None of this is anything to the Stoics, who have a god-like view of the whole world.

Probably just because you are ordinary people, I am already a god who has become an immortal, and I must keep my soul at peace and calm. You see, those eminent monks who have attained the Tao are like this when they are faced with sad and painful encounters.

If you want to be a little deeper and show a smile of comfort and pity to the other party when you are beaten, then you will have more feelings of being a master.

Cheng Mo is not so compassionate, he just disassembles Stoicism and uses it separately in the spirit of pragmatism.

Because whoever learns Stoicism in the midst of despair, relying on imagination to create hope and solace, will be able to survive a little farther tomorrow.

To put it simply, Stoicism is a high-level method of spiritual victory, from Emperor Aurelius to the slave Epictet, from which hope and solace can be derived, and sincerely believed in and propagated.

And the question of awakening at this moment is exactly to the point, the evil that Stoic believers can regard as a tempering of themselves. So how can you dispel the evil that others have endured?

If you follow the Stoics, you can only sit on the sidelines, but is this really good?

This is precisely where the logic of Stoicism is inconsistent, and there are contradictions and conflicts.

Then the religion that is also the Spiritual Victory Method, the answer given is to cultivate the afterlife or go to heaven, if you are a good person in this life, you will be blessed in the next life, and you will be reincarnated as a rich second generation. If you believe in me and do what I say, you will be able to go to heaven flowing with milk and honey when you die, with its pearl gates, golden streets, and jasper walls. If you follow the religion of X, you will go to heaven and 72 beautiful virgins will be sent to you as companions......

Just thinking about it makes me feel stimulating.

This benefit is not insignificant, and ordinary people can withstand this temptation? It is no wonder that countless people have gone forward to dedicate themselves to it.

No, I have to believe it too!

.......

All in all, Stoicism does not give its adherents such an answer, which is the weakness of Stoicism, although Stoicism, like religion, is the law of spiritual victory, but for ordinary people, it is difficult to understand that they are part of the universe, part of God.

But being able to go to heaven after death is easy for ordinary people to understand.

The vast majority of mortals are very realistic, they want to be rewarded when they endure suffering, and you tell them to look at suffering in a higher dimension, but you don't give him any practical benefits?

？？？？？

Isn't that treating me as mentally retarded? I might as well believe in XX and have eternal life!

Cheng Mo's mind turned back and forth, but he didn't squint, the prisons on the left and right were full of children and women, and occasionally men, they were ragged, they were unclothed, and everyone's face was full of fear.....

Regardless of the Black Death, Cheng Mo saw that many of the people who were locked up in it were children, and he would inevitably feel compassion, but Cheng Mo knew that he couldn't save anyone, he couldn't bear to look at those ignorant eyes, so he could only pretend to look at the front as if nothing had happened, but unfortunately saw a soldier in a prison not far away, who was helping a Southeast Asian girl take pictures, because the girl did not cooperate, he kicked the girl fiercely, and the girl fell to the ground with her abdomen curled in pain, constantly wailing in Thai that she didn't understand.

The soldier kicked the girl in the chest again, swearing something in Thai, so the ordinary-looking girl sat down on the bench at the door, with one hand on her chest and the other hand wiping her tears.

Cheng Mo stopped and looked at the girl who was beaten, her eyes were not big, her nose was a little collapsed, she was not a beauty, but she was okay, but her skin was slightly dark, and the cheap white T-shirt with dirty and broken eyes had long been grinded, and the pink shorts were very cheap at first glance, and she had a lot of thick calluses on her hands and feet.

Her eyes were filled with despair and indifference, and Cheng Mo guessed that she was not abducted, perhaps sold by her family, and this kind of thing often happens in Thai slums.

Cheng Mo said lightly: "As a disciple of the Stoics, help the needy, save the dead and the wounded, and repair bridges and roads...... None of this is a good deed, just as it is not a Stoic virtue to be free from your control and free this helpless girl now. ”

"Oh?" Cheng Mo's answer surprised Jing Xing very much, this answer was too unexpected for Jing Xing.

"For those of us who believe in the Stoics, the only good deed is to spread to the people of the world, what is the 'right' outlook on life, at this moment, that is, I have to make her understand that being trafficked and beaten is not an absolute bad thing, what she is experiencing now is not something she can control, the only thing she can do is to adjust her mentality, maintain the peace and joy of her soul, but she does not like to raise her head in a disemblied manner to meet the sickle of death....."

Cheng Mo's tone was a little heavy, and suddenly he remembered the story Li Jiting told him about his experience in Afghanistan, Cheng Mo originally did not understand why the vitality of religion is so tenacious, but now he understands that for many people, religion is the only consolation.

Jing Xing laughed, "It's really interesting, Master Lin's statement makes me also full of interest in the Stoics, and I have to study this school in detail when I go back." ”

Cheng Mo wanted to know more secrets of Penglai Mountain, so he asked in a slightly disdainful tone, "Brother Xing brought me here just to see this?"

Jing Xing asked rhetorically, "What does Master Lin want to see?"

Cheng Mo hesitated for a moment and said, "To be honest, I'm more interested in cloning. ”

Jing Xing shook his head and said: "The clone can't even touch me, is it ......" Jing Xing didn't continue, after stopping, he pointed to the Thai man who was stripped naked and was taking pictures and said: "Look, it's still a shemale, this can be sold for a lot of money." ”

Then Jing Xing sighed again, "We actually often receive shemales here, most of them are from poor Thai families, and many of them don't actually become shemales voluntarily, but in order to sell money, the original family began to inject estrogen when they were ignorant, and when they reached a certain age, they were sold to shemale schools, and then some shemale schools collected too much, so they selected some of them that were not good enough to sell to us, and we sold them to buyers all over the world on the film network....."

"It's really pitiful, isn't Master Lin going to save him? If you open your mouth, I'll ask someone to release him, or do you still plan to practice the purpose of the Stoics, so that he can understand that as long as he relies on imagination, his misfortune can disappear completely?" Jing Xing turned his head to look at Lin Zhinuo beside him.

Cheng Mo could imagine what a tragic story was behind the boy in front of him, he lowered his head slightly, and saw that his body on the ground was very flat and his body was illuminated by the miner's lamp covered with a wire grid above his head, and the red cloak of the same style as Superman was angular in the black shadow.

"It's not about wearing underwear, it's about wearing a red cape to be Superman, I'm not, and I don't want to. Cheng Mo thought to himself.

Cheng Mo walked towards the boy who was leaning against the wall, the naked boy stood in front of the camera and shivered, and there was a blue cloth hanging on the rough cement wall, which could make his dark skin fairer.

Hearing the movement, the two soldiers with guns immediately turned to look at Cheng Mo, and grabbed the guns tighter, revealing a vigilant posture, and the soldiers who were pressing the shutter also stopped taking pictures and looked at Cheng Mo.

The boy also noticed Cheng Mo, who was wearing a strange costume with silver foil, covering his private parts with his hands, lowered his head, and tears the size of beans fell on the gray cement floor......

Cheng Mo turned to the soldiers on the side and said, "Do you know how to speak Chinese?"

The two soldiers with guns and one soldier taking pictures looked at each other, obviously they could understand Chinese, and after a while, one of the soldiers with a gun said with some vigilance: "Who are you? If you need to trade, please find the trader who brought you in.....

The soldiers who spoke spoke Chinese quite fluently, only with a slight accent, probably Malay, and the popularity of Chinese in Malay was quite high.

Cheng Mo looked back at Jing Xing, who walked over and said, "It's okay, it was Dr. Charlie who called me over." ”

Hearing the name Doctor Charlie, the expressions of the three soldiers relaxed immediately, and the soldier who began to speak looked at Cheng Mo and Jing Xing and said respectfully, "What do you need help with?"

Cheng Mo guessed in his heart whether "Doctor Charlie" was Jing Quan or who, so he focused his attention on the little boy who was crying silently, Cheng Mo looked at him and said, "Which of you can speak Thai, please help me translate it!" I have a few words I want to convey to him. ”

The soldier with the camera said "yes", and Cheng Mo said slowly: "Child, don't be afraid. ”

After saying that, he stopped, and the soldier with the camera immediately relayed the words to the Thai boy who was bowing his head and sobbing, and the Thai boy was about the first time he heard someone comforting him, raised his head and first looked at the soldier with the camera, and then turned his head to look at Cheng Mo and said something in Thai.

The camera man also turned his head to look at Cheng Mo and said, "He said please save him....."

Cheng Mo looked at the Thai boy, ignored the pleading in his eyes, shook his head and said, "I can't save you, only you can save yourself." ”

The camera man relayed Cheng Mo's words to the Thai boy, so he cried louder, and tears soon covered his cheeks.

Cheng Mo didn't mean to be comforted, and waited for the boy's crying voice to gradually become smaller before he said: "Don't complain, and don't have a mental breakdown because of these sufferings....."

The camera man translated Cheng Mo's words with the Thai boy again, and Cheng Mo didn't know whether the camera man's translation was accurate or not, he couldn't control these, he could only give the poor boy a little comfort and hope within his ability.

"Your previous fate was unfortunate enough, and being sold may be the beginning of another end of bad luck for you, but it also gives you the opportunity to save your own destiny. Cheng Mo looked at the Thai boy and whispered, not loud, but very powerful.

Although the Thai boy couldn't understand Cheng Mo's words, he couldn't help but raise his head, he looked at the camera man, and when he finished translating, he looked at Cheng Mo again, he raised a hand and wiped the tears in his eyes, and a puzzled look appeared on his cheeks.

Cheng Mo continued: "Just like the black trade in the sixteenth century, from a historical perspective, is it more miserable for the blacks who stayed on the African continent at that time, or are the blacks who were sold to the American continent more miserable?"

Time has already answered. ”

"It's the same for you, is it better not to be sold, or is it better to be sold? Speaking of this, Cheng Mo's tone relaxed, it sounded like a warm and warm wind, and the Thai boy's crying stopped, and he even opened his mouth to ask Cheng Mo what the black trade was in the sixteenth century.

Cheng Mo patiently explained to the Thai boy, at this moment there were no tears on his face, only dried black marks, his face also calmed down, and listened carefully to the translation of the camera man.

Cheng Mo finished talking about the "Black Triangle Trade" and said softly: "Crying and sadness don't help, so many people are trapped here like you, even if you didn't sell here before, aren't you like being besieged in a shemale school? You have to use your brain to think, when you don't have freedom, the only thing you can control is your own thoughts." ”

"Calm your soul, even if you die tomorrow.... It's happier to die laughing than crying, isn't it?"

After listening to the camera man's translation, the Thai boy couldn't help but nod.

Cheng Mo bowed slightly, reached out to wipe the tears from the Thai boy's face, and said in a sacred tone: "Endure these sufferings, the place you have reached is definitely not hell, only by maintaining a state of sanity, can you see and wait for the opportunity, when you reach the other side and are lucky enough to escape, these experiences will become your wealth, and fate will favor you." ”

Wiping away those black tears, Cheng Mo straightened up, the Thai boy knelt down, closed his eyes and put his hands together on his forehead, bowing to Cheng Mo, this is the posture of Thai people worshiping Buddha, Cheng Mo did not linger, turned back and walked towards the road he came.

All the way, Cheng Mo saw many Thais kneeling on the railing, bowing to him with their hands folded, Cheng Mo's heart became more and more heavy, people in a desperate situation are really humble, but a little ethereal language comfort can give them great strength.

Cheng Mo felt very sad, this sadness could not be explained to others, he thought that few people would understand, he felt that his heart was swaying, and the idea of destroying everything began to sprout, but he knew deeply that he could not do anything.

Jing Xing caught up with Cheng Mo, patted Cheng Mo's shoulder and said with a smile: "Master Lin is worthy of being Master Lin, he really has the potential to be a god stick, if you want to start a sect, you will definitely be able to bewitch many people." ”

"Can you get out of here?" Cheng Mo asked in a slightly unhappy tone.

Jing Xing smiled: "What?

Cheng Mo sneered: "I'm not a pervert, I'm not interested in this kind of thing, not to mention that this is not an industry that I can get involved in, why should I stay in such a gloomy and miserable place?"

Jing Xing was quite unimpressed by Cheng Mo's dissatisfaction, and asked with a smile, "You really don't plan to do something for that boy?"

Cheng Mo shook his head, "There are so many misfortunes in this world, 13% of the world's population still lives in extreme poverty, and what is worse is that in the past five years, the world's poor population has increased from 1 billion to 1.3 billion, and it is currently increasing at a rate of 25 million people per year. In developing countries, especially in Africa, nearly one-third of the population lives in extreme poverty and does not even have enough to eat..... If developed countries do not change their current policies, the number of people living in poverty in the world will reach 2 billion by 2030. As long as hunger and poverty remain, the human trade will never disappear, and to some extent, you are also doing good deeds, at least ensuring that some people can live....."

"For that boy, if he is sold to a developed area, there is a good chance that if he can escape, his fate may be rewritten. ”

Jing Xing shook his head, "This is just your wishful thinking, few people who are sold can escape ......"

"That's not about me, it's just fate. Cheng Mo said lightly.

Jing Xing sighed: "Master Lin is really a hard-hearted person!"
