Chapter 451 (1/2)

Human almsgiving behavior is self-interest, in order to dispel some of their own fear, or some of their guilt, to obtain a sense of superiority without self-examination. The professional beggars in the city are professional actors who meet the needs of the crowd. They don't create value, just to meet the needs of others.

Some people want to drive away these beggars, do not want to see these people who rely on the poor to sell miserable existence, let them go to work.

They even sent out a message that those who do not work should not eat, and those who do not work should die with dignity.

But who stipulates that the meaning of human existence is to create value, not to be useful. Who has the right to judge the life and death of others with such cold words? Man is a strong and weak life. Even in the face of extreme difficulties, man still has the desire and courage to survive.

When people in despair can not use a broken bowl to beg for a living, there is only despair that can not resist.

The existence of beggars gives people in the worst situation a shelter and avoids worse situations. In contrast, words like social conscience are as light as a feather.

However, as a conscious social animal, human beings also have their social attributes. Different from the natural attribute, human existence in the society must be useful to the society, whether it is to create value actively or passively, which is the basic requirement of social rules for everyone. People who have no value to the society will be abandoned by the society mercilessly. Such people will either go to the primitive nature or perish.

The beggars in the Western Jin Dynasty, the Huang Chao army in the late Tang Dynasty and Li Zicheng in the late Ming Dynasty were all refugees who could not be beggars. When society comes to this time, it is a time of chaos. Everyone lives under the threat of violence, and no one is spared.

Of course, we can't explain existence with purpose, and we can't deny existence just because it's useless. This is true not only for human beings, but also for animals, and even for all substances existing in nature. This is a natural attribute of human beings, not necessarily for whom.

But there are still many people who expel beggars maliciously, and the professional beggars who have the ability to act have already run away. Most of the rest of the non professional beggars with abnormal mental state live an absurd life every day, even if they have money, they will not spend it, and then they die in other places one by one.

In big cities, it's easy for these beggars to find shelter at least, parks, bridges, concrete pipes, and food in hotel kitchen waste.

But one day they were expelled and rushed to a small town where there was no one to live and die.

Beggars have little influence on our lives. Even the almsgiving people in big cities don't notice the disappearance of beggars. No place to spread compassion, to various charities, the elderly, children.

However, it seems that the world without beggars is incomplete, which always makes people feel that there is something missing in this orderly and orderly society? All people create wealth through labor, all people keep their eyes fixed on the front, all people catch the bus from nine to five to go to work by subway. Everyone has to be useful. No one can live a useless and free life.

No matter how fast the pace of life is, seeing beggars on the street, they are another way of life. Beggars seem to be the destroyers of systems and rules. They will break the rhythm of your life, break your apathy, break your ignorance of fate, let you know that there is a way to live in the world.

Beggars are the destroyers of this civilized world, but without beggars, the world would be too monotonous and heartless.
