Chapter 1250: Jackal and rabbit (1/2)
”The so-called'guarding ordinary people' by the practitioners is no different from the doting of cats and dogs by those extreme animal protectors. It is not at all because they are more just, kind, and benevolent than others, but only from their selfishness.”
Li Yao exclaimed, ”selfishness? What selfishness?”
”In our real human empire, there is a well-known master of sociology and psychology called'Ma Tianluo'. This master proposed the theory of human five-tiered needs. He pointed out that a person fulfills all the needs of his life. , From low to high, it is divided into five levels: physiological needs, safety needs, emotional needs, respect needs and self-realization needs.”
Tang Qianhe talked eloquently, ”Physiological needs and safety requirements are well understood. It is the instinct that animals all have to eat and wear warmly, not to be invaded by foreign enemies!”
”Emotional needs are also easy to understand. People are a gregarious race. A person always longs to be immersed in affection, friendship, love and other emotional packages. As the so-called seven emotions and six desires, even Da Luo Jinxian is hard to avoid.”
”The need for respect, to put it plainly, is the desire to occupy a certain position in society, to be recognized, respected and even worshipped by others! This need is met, and people can be confident and feel the value of their existence. '!”
”The need for self-realization is the highest level of need. It refers to the realization of personal ideals, ambitions, and doctrines, to stimulate one's potential to the limit, and to thoroughly implement one's own'Dao Xin'!”
”Using Master Ma's'five-tiered demand theory' to analyze the actions of the practitioners, it is easy to understand.”
”The matter of guarding ordinary people can first meet the emotional needs of cultivators, secondly enable them to be respected and admired by the public, and thirdly can implement their ideas and expand their Taoism! That is to say. In the ”Ladder Demand Theory”, the three more advanced needs are all satisfied!”
”To put it bluntly, a cultivator guards ordinary people, and then gets cheers and admiration from ordinary people; this raises a pet dog with an ordinary person, builds a kennel for it, buys dog food, and even calls it a member of the family. It's all the same to get its intimacy.”
”Do they particularly like small animals? Of course not, just to satisfy their empty mind!”
”Otherwise, why are there so many people raising cats and dogs, but so few people raising cockroaches and toads? To put it bluntly, cats and dogs are cute and somewhat human, which can bring ordinary people a sense of spiritual satisfaction. , Ordinary people will keep cats and dogs; and ordinary people can also bring a sense of spiritual satisfaction to the cultivator. It is a kind of high-level pet, so the cultivator will protect ordinary people!”
”That, that—”
Li Yao really didn't know how to refute this strange argument.
What's more, he didn't dare to be too resistant, so as not to arouse suspicion among the three cultivators, so he had to follow Tang Qianhe's meaning and said, ”It seems that there is nothing wrong with it, right?”
”If you just close the door and spoil your pet, of course it is personal freedom, and there is nothing wrong with it!”
Tang Qianhe snorted coldly, revealing an expression of both contempt and disgust, ”It's a pity that, like extreme animal protectionism, cultivators like to treat their selfish desires as the so-called morality, and their likes and dislikes as' The truth is that all stars and seas are accurate, and even the very normal behaviors of others are arbitrarily interfered with!”
”The resources in Xinghai are limited. Raising ordinary people as pets consumes more resources than keeping cats and dogs as pets. Ordinary people are far more brutal than cats and dogs. They are a little careless. I will be ungrateful at any time and take a bite back!”
”Cultivators are short-sighted and extremely selfish guys. They just start from their own selfishness and their own instincts. They only see that the ordinary people in front of them seem to be pitiful. They must protect them at all costs to satisfy them. My own compassionate heart, I don’t know that doing so will bring long-term damage and eventually lead to the total collapse of the entire human civilization!”
Li Yao frowned: ”What damage?”
Tang Qianhe said with a serious face: ”Our human civilization, like nature’s ecosystem, is actually the strongest and most fragile thing! We say that it is strong because it has some natural laws that can regulate and balance itself, and Self-purification and evolution under the constraints of seemingly cruel laws; it is said that it is fragile, because once human beings, as the spirit of all things, control the ability to modify certain laws, they are driven by self-righteous compassion. After the modification, the collapse is almost inevitable!”
”Li Daoyou, have you heard of'ecological balance', right?”
Li Yao nodded.
”Nature's ecosystem is a very balanced and perfect work of art. Imagine a prairie where a few wolves, a large number of rabbits, and grass all over the mountains form a simple ecosystem.”
”The rabbit eats the grass, the jackal eats the rabbit.”
”The rabbit is so cute that it makes people feel compassionate at the first sight.”
”The jackal is hideous and cruel in nature, and the scene of preying on rabbits is extremely bloody!”
”At first glance, it is easy to define rabbits as ‘good’ and jackals as ‘bad’!”
