Chapter 1953 Question ([-])

Fangcaodi's moral education courses are still in the initial stage of "we are good and enemies are bad", and the Senate doesn't like the naturalized people to think too much about this.

Feng Nuo pondered for a while, and said to her: "The real world is complicated, but the children in the school are still unable to accept such complexity. In our education, the 'world view' must be 'correct', that is, it must be given to students. It helps them understand what is 'right' and what is 'wrong', so that they can stand on their feet when they grow up and recognize the tricky and not-so-great things in their own experience. 'Right', and as far as possible to reject 'wrong'. We can't teach children not to distinguish right from wrong, right from wrong, good from bad from the beginning."

"Then, newspaper broadcasts are for everyone to read. Why are they only reporting positive news, not mentioning that most people have private thoughts or shortcomings, and avoiding... those wrong things. This, Isn't it a bias and a lie?"

"You are in Fangcaodi. You should have talked about the so-called 'truth', 'goodness', and 'beauty' in the moral education class. 'Truth' is good, and 'goodness' and 'beauty' are also good. The problem is, 'truth' ' is not always 'good' and 'beautiful'."

Feng Nuo intentionally ignored that among "truth, goodness and beauty", "truth" actually ranks first.

"Therefore, in public opinion propaganda, on the one hand, we must let the broad masses of the people know the 'truth' of the world; on the other hand, we must guide them to 'goodness' and 'beauty'. When you do, you have to make a trade-off.”

He patiently explained to Feng Shan, but some of the arguments even made him frown when he heard them. In the old time and space, he would have sneered at them.However, now he has to say this to Feng Shan.

Probably Feng Nuo's patient and gentle tone infected Feng Shan, and she gradually became less nervous.It could be seen that she still couldn't understand what she said to Feng Nuo, but she was not as confused as before.

Feng Shan seemed to be chewing on the meaning of his words. Feng Nuo knew that she must have other questions in mind, so he waited quietly, thinking about her previous questions.

"Teacher, what is the goal of the Senate?"

"Well... it should be said that it is to establish a new order in the world."

Feng Shan shook her head, "I still don't quite understand...the teacher at the school said that the Senate wants to create a new world for the people, does that mean the same?"

Feng Nuo smiled, but did not answer her question directly. He said, "When you really understand the difference, you will get the answer to this question."

Then he said seriously: "However, what I can tell you is that under the new order established by the Senate, the people will live a better life than under the rule of hypocrisy, post-golden, European countries... than under the rule of all current rulers in the world." better life."

For a moment, he seemed to see a bright look in the girl's pupils.

Feng Nuo unconsciously avoided meeting her sparkling eyes.

He thinks that the significance of the elders for building a new society and a new world is actually no stronger or deeper than that of the naturalized people. "Create a new world", the slogan that the elders themselves did not necessarily believe, but the naturalized people actually believed it.

Feng Shan can think and study all day and all night, usually undertake heavy teaching work, and even come here to help him develop in her spare time... It can be said that she has almost no personal time and space at all.However, Feng Nuo never saw her showing an expression of impatience or boredom... only gentle strength and stubbornness.Even he couldn't fully understand such persistence before.

And at this moment, he seemed to understand the reason, or rather, he felt the reason.

"Then, what is the goal of the chiefs? Is it also to make people live a better life?"

The girl has really grown up, Feng Nuo thought, she can detect the difference between the two.

"Well, that's another question. Not every elder will give his all for this, but every elder will always strive for it."

"Does every chief think like this?... You, do you think so?"

"It doesn't matter what they... what we think, Feng Shan."

Feng Nuo thought for a while before he said cautiously: "The development of history and the times has its natural laws. Although people make history, the changes in the world cannot be determined by people's thoughts."

He paused, thinking about how to explain the problem.

"I can say without humility that in the next few decades or hundreds of years, it will be us, the elders, who will play the most critical role in the change of the world. But the change of the world is still not entirely ours. The result of everyone's thinking in the world. Instead, our thinking is just following the trend of the world changing."

The meaning of this passage was not easy to understand, and the confusion in Feng Shan's eyes gradually became stronger.

"In the long course of history, people's actions usually produce some additional results besides the results of their original purpose. They do satisfy their own desires and interests, but this is not all. In their actions, There are also results that are not their goals, and they themselves may not be aware of it, and they have also been accomplished.

"For example, a certain person, driven by the desire for revenge, may be legitimate revenge, and burns down the house of his enemy. This behavior may produce unexpected results. Although he is only A small fire was set on the beam of the enemy's house, but because the beam that was set on fire is connected to other sections, and the house of the enemy is connected to other houses, it may eventually lead to a big fire. This big fire not only Only his enemies were burned, and many other people's property was reduced to ashes, and there may even be casualties.

"Such a result may not be the person's original intention or idea, but it is destructive far beyond his imagination. Moreover, this person must also be responsible for this, and thus be punished, not because he did not cause any harm." The idea of ​​becoming a conflagration, let go of the crime he committed.

"Thinking from the opposite direction, those who promoted the development of history, such as Ying Zheng and Yang Guang, who unified the country, unified writing and weights and measures, created imperial examinations, built the Great Wall and the Grand Canal, perhaps their initial ideas were just to make themselves alive. They want to live better and more comfortably, just want to have more power and strength, just want to satisfy their own desires and ambitions.

"However, when they fulfilled their purpose, they also completed a certain task required by the historical development at that time, or in other words, they followed the trend of history and the development of the times. Therefore, they became people who promoted the development of history. Such people , can be called 'heroes'. They are heroes, not because their personal character is a model, or how noble and kind, but because they are changing the world to make it more in line with the trend of the times and the inherent nature of historical development In the process of regularity, I made my own contribution.”

"So what matters is not how we think, but how we act, what we do, and what we bring to the world in achieving our purpose."

"Yes, I can admit without hesitation that we, the senators, came here with many other passions and desires, as well as various private purposes and intentions. But this is not a bad thing, nor can it be Reasons why we are criticized by mediocrity."

Feng Nuo said somewhat seriously.

"A mediocre person can say that we have ambitions, want to rebel, and have extravagant desires. It is these desires that allow us to improve farming methods, establish industries, develop education, and innovate society. private attempt.

"Then it can be concluded immediately from this statement that this mediocre man is superior to us, because he has no such 'incorrect' attempts, so he did not do these things to change the world, he is just mediocre Live mediocrely, let others live mediocrely, and the world will remain the same.”

"This is a vulgar view, and these vulgar views are especially easy to appear among a group of people." He paused.

"Life Secretary."

"We have to eat and drink, we have to wear clothes, we always have relatives and friends, we have emotions, joys, sorrows and joys, and we also have personal interests, hobbies, and even shortcomings. These are our private attributes."

“No man is a hero to his valet. This is not because the hero is no hero, but because the valet is a valet.”

"Black... A sage in Australia once said: 'There is no hero in the eyes of servants,-but that is not because heroes are not heroes, but because servants are just servants.'"

"Life secretaries, including those naturalized people who work around us - they touch our basic necessities, know our hobbies and shortcomings, and they are so close to our private life that in their eyes, they can only see About our trivial matters. And in such matters, we are just ordinary people like them, unremarkable. Not only that, maybe in their eyes, we have more shortcomings on us, and the standard may still be there A few degrees below average."

Feng Shan's face was a little hot.

"However, Feng Shan, I hope you will not be like them. You have the ability to look at us from the perspective of world change—senators, look at the cause of the Senate and understand its meaning."

"Don't look at us from the perspective of living secretaries, but judge us from the perspective of how the world has changed. I hope you can become someone who has the same vision and the same height as us. I hope you don't become a servant, But to be a master. My own master, the master of the world." He stared into Feng Shan's eyes and said.
