Chapter 396 (1/2)
The purpose of this trial is a stress test to see the individual's performance under pressure, what kind of situation he can face, and whether he can keep his sense, so that he can always maintain the characteristics of an excellent soldier and maintain his strong action in the battlefield.
In fact, this is also the alienation of human beings. One can't live only for himself. Survival is important, but what is the meaning of life? To be a person who contributes to society is to contribute his own value to the world and make it better.
However, to be a good soldier, it is against human nature many times. We should make ourselves stronger than ordinary people, have the courage to obey orders, and resolutely carry them out. Only in this way can we be a good soldier and give full play to our greatest value. Only in this way, we go against our original intention of being a man, put shackles on ourselves, and never become a free man again.
If you get the same, you will lose the same. Sometimes it is fair and totally unfair. The fairness lies in that as long as there is something to pay, there will always be something in return, but most of the time what people get is not what they want. When people pursue something, they will unconsciously lose something. When they pursue to grow up, they will lose their childlike innocence, and when they pursue truth, they will abandon unrealistic fantasies.
Gain and loss between only rely on their own grasp, and do not have to ask, and do not have to blame, lose everything do not have to regret in vain, do not have to regret, as long as the courage to move forward.
Fang Tianxing didn't criticize that man. Everyone naturally has his choice. He just has to pay for what he has done. There is no absolute way to live. The feudal ethics in the past allowed people to live a regular life. However, with the progress of people, the shackles of these shackles have been broken, and freedom has not really come. Many people are still looking forward to going back to ignorance, If we refuse to make progress, we will regress.
Today's relative freedom is obtained by countless people's efforts. Freedom is people's lofty pursuit for a better life. They hope that they can really do what they want to do, rather than being bound by all kinds of rules and regulations. Human beings create society to make people live a better life, rather than let people fall into a strange circle, and they can't find their own direction around.
Can be humble as dust, can not be distorted as maggots, but a lot of time people gradually become numb, in which they do not know.
Rousseau said that man is born free, but he is always in chains. He who thinks himself the master of everything else is a slave more than anything else.
On the one hand, he affirmed in principle that freedom is the natural endowment and right of human beings, and that it is human nature. On the other hand, he pointed out that people in reality live in a state of no freedom and suffer from all kinds of slavery.
Man is in the contradiction between principle and fact. The reason is that man can't control himself. To be free, man must fight against all kinds of shackles and inequalities. In short, people obey the rules of society in social life, and listen to the call of conscience in moral life.
Under the social state, people's rationality has been developed and improved. Facing all kinds of political, economic and even spiritual inequality in real life, people strongly demand to overthrow the autocratic monarchy, abolish the social contract forced to sign because of being cheated, and establish a new social contract on the basis of equality for all.
The new social contract makes an abstract public will superior to the individual will. The public will is embodied in the law. People abide by the law, consciously undertake various obligations and enjoy various rights endowed by the law.
Man is always in chains, but man is in freedom after all. This kind of freedom is a higher level of freedom, which is a kind of freedom in pursuit of freedom. On the other hand, a person who is not free and who is willing to be a slave must also be responsible for his own enslavement and not complain about others.
