Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Chapter 254

Cum love is good, not now.

This is already a heavy criticism.

If the person who said this sentence was not Gu Dan, Qin Lisheng could argue ten thousand sentences with him.

But as Gu Dan, who knew Mo Qiu well before the establishment of the Mo family, and even watched the Mo family step by step in front of Gu Dan, Qin Lisheng opened his mouth several times, but he didn't make a single sound.

"Jianai, of course, is the highest vision, Mo Zhe has indeed achieved this, amazing!"

Gu Dan stretched out his thumb to express his praise, "but"

Many words, after the turning point, are the real things to say.

"People have relatives and estrangements, that is, there are very few people who can love without distinction. It is almost impossible to promote and implement it, and let the people do it spontaneously. The difficulty is the same as creating a great harmony. There is no difference in the world."

Gu Dan still said.

The core of universal love is that there is no difference in love, and loving others is like loving yourself.

The highest level of Mohist imagination is that everyone loves at the same time, and everyone loves others as they love themselves, which is equivalent to countless personalities loving themselves. How can there be any disputes in the world?

You love me, I love you, everyone is like a family, regardless of gender, age, region, or country, it seems that you have divided your share, so why not gain more?
If everyone can do this, it is really a mutual benefit in the true sense.

But unfortunately, it cannot be done.

Can't do it at all.

The morals of the world are unfair, and there is indeed a gap between people. We must face this point squarely before we can come up with a solution.

To put it simply: if you live in a village, your parents have been neighbors for several generations. In your generation, the river water used in the village will be exhausted, but the time for irrigation will also come. Others use it to irrigate their own homes. Tian, ​​your family is useless, if you don’t use it, the harvest will be bad, and if the harvest is not good, people will starve to death.
What to do at this time?
Half of one person, split equally?

Both families will starve to death.

Fully supply the family, and share the food equally?
Still the same fate.

Someone is always going to starve to death.

If we face this fact squarely, how should we make a choice?

Draw lots, whoever draws will die directly?
Or in some other way to see who is the unlucky one?
impossible.

Both love, and love.

There must be a prerequisite.

This premise is when one's own interests will not be greatly threatened.

The previous examples are only in the face of life and death.

There are many situations that are not comparable to life and death, but there is also competition between people all the time, everywhere.

One step back today, one step back tomorrow, the family will not be able to survive.

It is impossible for everyone to have the consciousness of a Mohist, and not everyone can be a Moqiu.

Being selfless can be regarded as a very high praise, which is enough to show a bit of knowledge.

However, those who are impartial and selfless are usually not close to others, so why?

Everyone hates other people going through the back door, but likes to allow themselves to enjoy this convenience.

This is the truth.

If you want to be loved by everyone, the first condition is that the material resources are absolutely satisfied, whether you are satisfied or not, and you will never have to face the situation of competition.

But if you can do this, what do you want to do?

Gu Dan said that Jian Ai is very good, but not now.

Qin Lisheng understands the truth.

But not now, where should the Mo family go?

The ten righteousness of Mohism are: universal love, non-aggression, respecting the virtuous, respecting the same, Tianzhi, enlightening ghosts, festival burial, festival use, non-life, and non-joy.

Among them, Tianzhi and Minggui were briefly used by Mo Qiu as the core concepts of Mohism.

The problem is that these two things are put together, in fact, they are saying that the Mohists have grasped some principles of the operation of the heaven and the earth, and persuade the world not to ask the immortal to ask, as long as they do their own things well and don't do bad things, then the supreme ghosts and gods will naturally be able to understand everything.

How can the real people have the money to seek immortality?

There is no use at all!

Universal love and non-aggression are the core concepts pursued by Mohists today.

Jianai can't do it, so where is the war around Feigong?Can't use it either!
The rest of the concept of honoring the virtuous, adoring the same, festival burial, frugality, life, and joy can only be regarded as a means of dealing with things, and there is no way to regard it as the core logic of Mohism's operation.

Now the core logic of the Mohist school is all hung on the word "universal love". As long as the universal love has not been achieved, the Mohist school can work hard for it infinitely.

To say that universal love is not good is to say that Mohism is not good.

If another person said such things, he would be able to die endlessly.

However, the person who said this was Gu Dan.

Gu Dan, who never gets along with Mo Qiu.

Gu Dan watched the Mo family walk step by step with his own eyes.

Ended the invasion of the four countries, and the responsibility of the chaos in this world.

In front of him, the Mo family had no reason to say that what he said was wrong.

The words of universal love are beautiful, but the difficulty is not only based on reasoning?
Rather than expecting the Mohists and Mohists to create a world where everyone loves everyone, it would be safer to expect Gu Dan to directly aspire to the highest position and return the world to a peaceful and prosperous world.

Of course, to say that universal love is not good is by no means to say that the Mohist school is useless.

On the contrary, the emergence of the Mohist School brought a hopeless dawn to the people of Dayue who were once mired in the quagmire, and it really greatly improved the atmosphere among the people.

Because of the existence of the Mohist School, the standards of morality and righteousness among the people have been raised a lot, and it is true that a group of heroes who "promote the benefits of the world and eliminate the harm of the world" have emerged, and the Mohist ten righteousness Be regarded as a standard, and all people will benefit.

However, just when all the people benefited, the Mohists finally began to face their own setbacks, unsolvable setbacks.

"You must know more about Lin Fan's death than I do. What did Lin Fan do wrong? He has contributed to the people, to the country, and is worthy of the name of Mohist. Of course we can say that her wife didn't know what to do. , a calamity caused by greed and insufficiency, but why did such a thing happen?"

Gu Dan sighed and said: "Mohist, it's too strict! It's not for others, but for yourself, it's too strict!"

That's right, apart from Jian Ai, there was another problem, which was the key factor leading to Lin Fan's death.

The Mohists are too strict!

How strict is it?

The national teacher of the Xia Dynasty, a Mohist giant, dressed in short brown, stepped on straw sandals—the straw sandals were woven by himself, and he adhered to the principle of "no pretense for a day, no food for a day"!
This is the giant of the Mo family!

The status is placed in the Xia Dynasty, theoretically second only to the existence of the Xia Emperor!
He is like this, what kind of life Mo Zhe lives, do you need to think about it?
The Mohists endure hardships and stand hard work, are strict with themselves, and regard the maintenance of justice and morality as their bounden duty.

So much so that everyone praised that the Mohists "clothed with brown fur and slouched for clothes, worked day and night, and took self-sufficiency as the extreme". This is a hard life.

A Mohist can "go through the water and ride the edge, and die without turning his heels", which means that he will not turn his heels back until he dies.

More than 20 years ago, the Mohist school was like this, and more than 20 years later, the Mohist school is still like this!

Gu Dan looked at Qin Lisheng with complicated eyes.

It's not that Qin Lisheng's performance is not good enough, let alone unqualified, on the contrary, he's done too well, too qualified, and it's probably impossible for Mo Qiu to make more breakthroughs even if he is qualified.

In order to maintain the Mohist family, Qin Lisheng has expended a lot of effort, so that the Mohisthism never deteriorated.

The number of Mohists has never increased, not because no one wants to join, but because Qin Lisheng's requirements are extremely high.

This kind of almost unlimited requirement for personal quality is the fundamental reason why the Mohist school can maintain its reputation and become more and more popular, instead of gnawing at the foundation of Moqiu's reputation.

If the Mo family had really done something wrong, Gu Dan would have stood up to speak out.

but no.

The Mo family led by Qin Lisheng did not make any mistakes.

Therefore, it was inconvenient for him to speak.

He could only silently watch the Mo family move forward as usual.

It wasn't until the news of Lin Fan's death and the changes in Xuanhu Jishi itself drove Gu Dan to mention this matter first.

If the Mohists refuse to make changes, then there will be many "Lin Fan" in the future.

Unless all Mohists do not marry wives and have children, it is impossible to eliminate them.

Countless sugar-coated shells are coming one after another, how can ordinary people withstand it?

You can't put Mohist's request on their family members.

That's why Gu Dan said that the problem did not appear on Qin Lisheng, but that hidden dangers had been planted as early as when Mo Qiu founded the Mohist School.

"When the Mohist School was first established, the people in the Great Moon had no means of living, and the country would not be able to survive. In order to promote the atmosphere of the people and show his determination, Mo Qiu just wore the cheapest short brown and the most common straw sandals to express his determination. From the beginning In the end, he never asked all Mohists to do the same.

It's just because Brother Mo has indeed achieved this, which has attracted Mohists to follow suit, and now it has become a tradition, and even a symbol of Mohism.

But at that time, the Four Kingdoms conquered, and the interior of Da Yue was also a mess. Even food was a problem. It didn't matter if the conditions were more difficult, because it was not easy to have a bite of food. "

Gu Dan sighed and said: "But today is different from the past, and the Xia Dynasty is not a big moon. The common people have become rich, but Mohists still have such strict requirements on themselves. As the state religion of the Xia Dynasty, Mohists like this will make many people have to be simple."

For example, Wang Mang did not repair the palace when it was old, and left it there when the palace collapsed.

This is of course due to sympathy for the people's strength and wealth, but it is absolutely impossible to say that this is not influenced by the Mohist school.

The Mohist giants are so simple, you are not enough for an emperor with 72 concubines in the Sangong and Sixth Courtyard, and the house needs to be renovated if it is a bit dilapidated, what virtue is there?
Then the question came again, the Emperor Xia of the Xia Dynasty, the national teachers of the Xia Dynasty and even the giants of the Mohist School were all so simple and simple. How dare all the bureaucrats have the courage to enjoy life?

Gu Dan once saw the appearance of the Xia Dynasty when the court meeting was held.

Let's put it this way, except for Wang Mang, none of the civil and military officials could see a single piece of new clothes.

Many people even had several patches on their official uniforms—it looked really shabby.

But, is Xia Chao really that poor?
Can those civil and military officials really afford good clothes?

No.

They just dare not.

The folks have clearly become prosperous, and even Gu Dan, an ordinary farmer's family in Yuzhou, can eat fruits imported from other countries.

But during the Xia Dynasty meeting, that group of people seemed to have just been dug out from the previous era, and each one was more embarrassed than the other. Otherwise, it would not be enough to show that he is a good official.

This is undoubtedly a rather morbid thing, but no one dares to mention it.

When Wang Mang came to power, he borrowed too much from the Mohists, so it would be impossible for him to point out the hidden dangers of the Mohism, and even obey to show his own benevolence.

"I hope you reconsider these two issues. The times are changing, and the Mohist school should also change accordingly, and you can't just stick to the old ways. Even Brother Mo himself has changed the Mohist school's concept and turned it into the ten principles of the Mohist school. It is in your hands , why can't the Mohists change?"

In the end, Gu Dan said so.

The Mo family is not the enemy of the Xia Dynasty, nor is he trying to put any pressure on the Mo family.

On the contrary, what he hopes is that the Mohist school can stop being so hard, and stop being so demanding on themselves.

As a giant of the Mohist school, Qin Lisheng is quite capable. As long as he can see this, he can lead the Mohist family to complete the transformation, which is more suitable for the transformation of the Xia Dynasty.

Because of the existence of Mo Qiu, the Mo family has carried too many moral and moral burdens, and now it has ruthlessly weighed on the Mo family, Mohists, and even Xia Chao.

Advocating virtue is of course a good thing, but advocating for the sake of admiration, is that still a good thing?

Hypocritically wearing patched clothes, secretly enjoying the wealth and luxury that dare not be exposed to others, it is too sick, and I am afraid that it will not suppress the greed in people's hearts.

Sometimes, the moral standard cannot be set too high, as high as the sky, but loses human flesh and blood.

Having said so much, Gu Dan actually hopes that the Mo family can have some selfishness, enjoy some personal enjoyment, and stop being so selfless.

This is not only a burden for the Xia Dynasty, but also for the Mohists?

Lin Fan didn't need to commit suicide.

His wife, Qin Lisheng, can also be saved—even if she commits a serious crime, she can choose to be exiled for thousands of miles, instead of being so straightforward.

Sometimes, being too strict and unreasonable can appear a little hypocritical.

People can't help but wonder whether they want to pursue morality, or become morality itself?
The sun that supports all things, when it is too close to the human world, the old sun shines all over, and all things sprout, and it will also turn into a thousand miles of red ground, with fierce flames.

Facing Gu Dan's bitter words, Qin Lisheng was silent for a long time.

In other words, he hardly ever spoke again.

It wasn't until Gu Dan finished speaking that Qin Lisheng stared into Gu Dan's eyes and said, "You're right."

"Ok?"

Gu Dan was slightly surprised.

All along, Qin Lisheng has not been a good talker.

Never thought it would be so easy to convince him?

"but"

Who would have thought that Qin Lisheng's voice changed, and he said again: "I refuse."

"As you said, the Mohist school has very high requirements for Mohists, but this requirement has never been arbitrarily imposed on others. You said that universal love is not now, but when will you need this concurrent love?" What about love?"

Qin Lisheng resolutely said: "The Mo family has done nothing wrong, internal problems will be solved by themselves, why should they change because of the eyes of others?

Could it be that doing too well is also a kind of fault? "
