Summon the Big Boss

Chapter 427 What are the qualifications?
What Lin Xi asked was basically a variant of the famous 'trolley problem' in philosophy.

Should the few people who can no longer create more value for the society pay their lives innocently for more people who are at fault?

The balance between the two ends is not only the weight of life, but also the standard of morality.

No matter how you choose, it seems to be a wrong answer.

Lin Xi raised such a question in order to trap Xu Mi, so that he would no longer be embarrassed and entangled in some details.

Of course, this can barely be regarded as another ideological confrontation and collision between Lin Xi and Xu Mi.

The difficulty of the trolley problem is that the result of the choice is 'evil'.

It doesn't exist goodness, and the perfect choice.

It is a sacrifice of last resort after a trade-off.

No matter which party is sacrificed, the person who made the choice can no longer be called 'good'.Sometimes, people who are capable and qualified to make such trade-offs and sacrifices can even be called 'political people'.

In the minds of the general public, such a term is hardly a compliment.

Lin Xi asked Xumi to make a choice, in fact, he was inducing Xumi to degenerate.

This is a trap that is being used to exploit the situation.

Xu Mi was obviously really trapped by this problem.

Such questions are difficult for ordinary people with normal three views to decide.

Not to mention a monk like Xu Mi?
He seemed to have had a heated argument in his mind, and when he came back to his senses, he was already covered in cold sweat.

"You are a trap. There shouldn't be such a carriage in the world, and there shouldn't be such a coincidence..." Xu Mi said slowly.

"But you have to admit that sometimes you will be faced with similar choices, even...more stringent choices that are more difficult to balance. For example, in order to save one person, sacrifice more people. For example, pass on a certain Eliminated thoughts, and destroy more thoughts. For example... the Buddha who shouted justice and compassion, in order to dispel the so-called barbarism and ignorance, and kill the people who represent and symbolize ignorance.” Lin Xi’s tone and tone , gradually becoming more intense.

Weak and despicable demons, they use desire to seduce people to fall, and use some shallow things to attract and guide shallow people.

As for the powerful demons, what they are really attractive and powerful is their chaotic thoughts.

They use their thoughts to win over those strong, and use good and evil, justice, axiom, and morality that cannot be completely and completely distinguished to restrain those with strong hearts, and gradually devour their reason and soul.

To deal with vulgar people, use vulgar means.

To deal with those who are strong in heart, it is necessary to change the method.

"I can't admit it, but I can't deny it, it's really... embarrassing!" Xu Mi let out a long breath.

Turning to Lin Xi, he said, "Since you asked me a question."

"Then... I should also reciprocate and ask you a question."

"As a heavenly demon, it is you who devour, destroy, destroy, lead the conflict between good and evil, and fierce emotional collisions... and your instincts, and the essence of your life. But I know that any practice, until the end , it is all about overcoming instinct and using the real 'I' to control all choices, not using instinct or the body."

"It's like, as a mortal, we all have lust, hatred, greed, jealousy, delusion, desire for food, desire for money, etc., but as a Buddhist practitioner, we have to overcome these desires and restrain these instincts, the sages There is a debate between "the heart is like a mirror" and "a mirror is not a mirror". The former guides ordinary people, while the latter is a metaphor for sages. There should be no precedence, but they point to a common result."

"Restraint, guidance, victory, and then awareness, enlightenment, awakening, enlightenment! Beyond the present, beyond the future!"

"So, how do you choose between huge benefits and overcoming instinct?"

Sumeru's question doesn't sound difficult, and it's not even a qualifying question.

Because the difficulties it sets are not parallel.

It's very simple, Lin Xi can answer directly, when you need benefits, choose benefits.When you need to overcome your instinct, choose to restrain your impulse, overcome your instinct, purify yourself, and elevate your realm.

However, if you think about it carefully... this is actually an ideal state.

Even the greed of the Heavenly Demon is limitless and hard to contain.

The first step for many people to go the wrong way, if they overcome their inner defenses, is 'do it once and stop'.

But the result is mostly getting deeper and deeper.

The same is true for Omens. Driven by instinct and needs, it is difficult to discern when restraint is needed.

In other words, I never take the initiative to feel the necessity of this kind of restraint.

On the road of practice, there will not be a timed alarm to remind those demons who are caught in greed that it is time to stop and stop and conquer their hearts.

So Xu Mi's question, the real key point, is to alert Lin Xi.

Now is the time!

Overcome your instincts, restrain your desires, and stop being greedy.

Sumi didn't need answers to questions.

But because of this problem, some kind of result is caused.

Obviously, the game between Lin Xi and Xu Mi has been going on, and there is no winner or loser.

And this kind of game is actually very beneficial to Lin Xi or Xu Mi.

Light needs darkness as a backdrop, justice needs evil as a reflection, the starry sky is magnificent because they are far enough away, and the mountains and rivers are magnificent because they are close enough.

In chaos, all things are corresponding to each other.

Losing the strength or thought of the opponent is confused and out of control.

because they have no reference.

Lin Xi should be thankful that when he was still very weak, he had such a special opponent as Monk Xumi.

This is precisely the luck he should be most grateful for.

Of course...it's also possible, it's not pure luck.

And clinging to the idea of ​​directly destroying Monk Xumi physically may not be regarded as breaking away from simple straight-line thinking.

This is of course not a mistake.

It's just that Lin Xi chose to do it himself.

"What qualifications do you have to let me make the choice?" Lin Xi asked Xu Mi.

Sumi was taken aback, turned around, and answered Lin Xi with the same words: "Then...what qualifications do you have to let me make a choice? And...in such a situation, what qualifications do I have, To make choices for them?"

"I chose to let the carriage fall off the cliff. A kind person should not be let down, even if he doesn't have a few days to live. Even if those who made mistakes are only children, and there are many of them." Lin Xi answered his own question unexpectedly.

A smile appeared on Xumi's face at first, but then the smile froze.

Then he turned around and said, "I will want the correct greed, those that should belong to me, those that don't harm others, and even bring happiness to others, why don't I be greedy?"

"It seems that we don't have any reliable answers."

"However, obviously I beat you, tell me now... Qingxiaojie, who else do you know who is like you?" Lin Xi's words finally pointed, more real, and closer to the present' Guan Jian 'The problem.
