C315 Human Weaknesses (2/2)
”Humans are very special creatures. When they have a society, face will naturally appear. Let me ask you, what happens when people realize that they've been cheated? ”
”Maybe your answer is to grab that liar and beat him up and announce that I was cheated, and I want to apologize. If your answer is really that, I can only say that you are too shallow. ”
”If this is a one-on-one scam, or a scam with very few participants, what you imagine will happen. But once the scam has been upgraded to a country as a unit, how will the people choose to give up when they find out that they've been cheated? ”
As Xiao Letian looked at Yepingtai and Hu Niu's confused gazes, he knew that the two of them had fainted. He could only try his best to explain the problem to them.
”Well, I'll be frank. When the deceived citizens find out that the scammers are abnormally strong and that the citizens do not have the ability to punish the scammers, their mindsets will change and they will consider whether their actions are meaningful or not. ”
”In addition, when the number of people affected by this scam is so great that it covers almost the entire society, when people discover that their neighbors and relatives and friends have all fallen into this scam, a sense of confusion can be felt.”
”People are subconsciously reminding themselves, forget it, don't expose this scam. Since there's no way to punish a swindler and lose all face later on, why should I be asking for trouble? Furthermore, everyone around him has been deceived. Since the entire society thinks that this scam is the truth, then no one cares about what the truth is … ”
”In addition, humans have a broken mindset. The process of admitting mistakes and self-denial is extremely painful. Many people choose to be ostriches, or to walk further and further away from the wrong path without turning back. This is also a great weakness of human nature …”
As he spoke till here, Xiao Letian could not help but think of some of the news he had seen in his previous life. Many commoners who had been tricked into selling organizations, even though he was clearly a victim, he knew that selling was wrong. However, after a period of time, he actually lied even more.
Why did the victim end up being the one who did the harm? Why did the good people who were tricked into the distribution organizations become the backbone of distribution? At the heart of the answer is this broken tank mentality.
Since I have already done so, I might as well continue doing so. The deeper one goes along the wrong path, the better it is for them to be mocked after admitting their mistakes.
”This is face. Not to mention that the Chinese care about face, the Europeans care about face too. ”Admitting that I've been cheated is just admitting that my IQ is not high enough and my mentality is not strong enough. This is the same as revealing to the society the flaws and weaknesses in my personality. This feeling is not good, not good at all …”
”And the newspapers, I admit that the editors were the smartest of them all, and I should have known very soon that I had been cheated by the French diplomats. ”But you have to know, the more educated people are, the more intelligent and educated they are, the more they want to show their face …”
”You, a dignified newspaper editor, have been played around by people, and by a yellow-skinned monkey from China. If this gets out, who would believe the credibility of their newspaper? Do they still want to sell? If the reader does not believe them, who will buy their newspapers? ”
”Hahaha, now do you understand? ”In this group incident, there are no victors at all. Even if I am not the victor, even if everything goes according to my script, I still won't be able to escape my notoriety as a swindler and schemer in a hundred years …”
It was no wonder that Prime Minister was able to rise to power in East Asia in the next two years, and achieve such a great accomplishment in his career. With this understanding of the human heart, it would be impossible for him to not succeed.
”The matters between you men are too complicated. It sounds like I'm having trouble listening to it. I'll be going to rest. You guys can continue chatting …” Hu Niu saw that Yepingtai looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated. He knew that Yepingtai had something to say to him, so she turned and left.
At this time, only Xiao Letian and Yepingtai were left in the dining hall. After being quiet for more than 10 minutes, Yepingtai suddenly stood up and kneeled down on the ground: ”Father, please, I beg of you, please teach me this ability to see through the heart, I beg of you …”
Yepingtai's forehead was against the floor as he sobbed uncontrollably, he was so excited that his entire body started to tremble violently, and what Xiao Letian had just said seemed like a window opening up in front of him, a wondrous world which he had never seen before revealed itself to him.
”It's a godly skill! It's a godly skill!” Please be merciful, father. I have nothing else to ask, I only want this Godly Technique that can see into one's heart … ”I, I, I'm willing to leave the center of power for the rest of my life. My son doesn't want to have the slightest bit of inheritance, and I only want my father to teach me!”
Hm? Xiao Letian was stunned, there was some hidden meaning in this brat's words, what did he mean by leaving the center of power? What do you mean by giving up the right to inherit? What the heck!
This won't do. Today, I must take out all the treasures in this kid's stomach. I want to see what he's planning.
