Chapter 2723: Conversation by the window (Ⅲ)

"This world war lasted for many years, and when the flames of war finally extinguished and peace came, Mr. S's motherland was also liberated, but this originally prosperous country has been turned into ruins."

"After the war, people are still facing a more serious spiritual crisis than the shortage of materials."

"There is nothing more devastating to humanity than war. Tens of millions of people were killed in the flames of war, and they have experienced the massacre in the gas chambers of concentration camps. Why do humans think of poetry?"

"A whole generation of people have witnessed this tragedy of mankind with their own eyes. After the war, many people were traumatized, depressed and confused, and doubted that life is meaningless."

"In such a social atmosphere, Mr. S put forward his philosophical views, which influenced many young people in that era."

"In order to explain his theory, Mr. S described a past experience he personally experienced during the war in a speech."

"It was the spring of the second year of the fall of the capital. One evening, one of Mr. S's students suddenly came to visit his apartment and looked worried."

"Mr. S asked this young man, what is on his mind?"

"The other party replied that he was hesitating about a difficult choice, so he specifically came to consult the teacher, hoping that the teacher would help him with an idea.

"This young man really wants to join the guerrillas and take up arms to participate in the struggle. The problem is that he still has an elderly and sick mother who needs to take care of him. If his only son joins the guerrillas, he will inevitably go out to fight often. Tian will be caught and shot by a brutal invader."

"In order to save the motherland from the iron hoof of the invaders, he would not hesitate to sacrifice his young life, but what about the mother in the family?"

"If you go out, or even die under the enemy's butcher knife, who else can take care of your mother?"

"On the other hand, if you stay at home, your own safety will be more secure, and your mother will be well taken care of. However, he will miss the opportunity to be loyal to the country, and he is really unwilling."

Qiao An couldn't help but moved slightly when he heard this.

In the story told by His Majesty Roland, the dilemma that the young student is in is essentially the same as the dilemma he is currently in.

"Your Majesty, what choice did the philosopher finally make for his students?" Qiao An couldn't help but ask.

Roland smiled and shook his head.

"Mr. S did not help the other person when he listened to the students' thoughts. He just asked him to close his eyes, put aside all moral and public opinions, and face his truest desire in his heart, without considering the evaluation of others. Where will the balance in my heart go?"

"As long as he decides what he wants to do more, don't think too much, just do it desperately."

"Mr. S believes that'existence precedes essence' and life is a series of accidents. What kind of person you are does not depend on external factors such as race, skin color, education, property, family background, etc., nor does it depend on other people’s attitudes towards you. Your evaluation is jointly molded by every free will-based decision you make at every moment in your life, "Anyone is nothing except the self that you made.""

"No one can be sure of the impact of the decision made at the moment in the future. We can only grasp the present, free from any external factors, completely follow the inner guidance to make free choices, and dare to bear the consequences. This is considered a clear conscience. As Mr. S said-'You are your life; and your life is nothing more than the sum of all the actions in your life'."

"Dr. Vinda, I don't understand philosophy. I might misinterpret Mr. S's point of view. If you find it boring, it's probably because I vulgarized other people's profound philosophical thoughts and made the delicacies of mountains and seas into a pot of greasy'chicken soup'." Roland smiled mockingly.

Qiao An didn't take His Majesty's joke seriously, thinking about the story he just told, a hesitation appeared in his eyes.

"Dr. Vader, if you have anything to say, just say it. Anyway, this is just a story that happened in a distant world. You don't have to worry about offending anyone."

"Your Majesty, the story that the philosopher you mentioned just now told in a public speech, I would like to believe that it happened in reality, but it doesn't touch the essence of the problem."

"I have to doubt that this scholar cares too much about the audience's feelings, and unconsciously put on a moral robe in front of the public, avoiding some very sharp questions in his speech, and failed to clarify in a more powerful way. His point of view, this is really a pity."

"Dr. Vader, can you tell me a little bit more clearly?"

"Your Majesty, haven't you noticed? The dilemma proposed by Mr. S's students is actually morally safe. The former is loyal to the country and the nation, and the latter is filial to the mother. No matter which path they choose, they will not arouse the audience's disgust. "

"It's like a person who has a malignant tumor, and the pain is unbearable. This philosopher's speech just gently scratched around the malignant tumor to ease the pain of the patient and make people aware of the existence of the malignant tumor, but he did not go further to cut the malignant tumor. Try to eradicate the disease."

"Compared to the questions he asked, I was more interested in the questions he was trying to avoid."

Qiao An found that His Majesty the Emperor was listening in a trance, so he told his thoughts and thoughts.

"In fact, apart from participating in the guerrillas and taking care of the elderly mother at home, Mr. S's students have many other options, and everything else can be omitted, but there is one way out that cannot be ignored.

"What way out?" Roland asked curiously.

Qiao Ann hesitated for a moment, and finally solemnly said what he thought.

"Mr. S’s students have another option, which is to shoot and kill the elderly and sick mother, get rid of burdens, join the invader’s army, commit adultery, rape, misbehavior, and seek happiness in the fall."

"Your Majesty, it is of course immoral to do so, and it is simply frantic. However, it is precisely this kind of heinous behavior that breaks through the moral bottom line. It is more suitable for explaining Mr. S's views than those options that are tender and loyal, and can better reflect Mr. S's theory. The essence of."

Qiao An stood up, restrained his excitement as much as possible, and went on.

"If even this kind of maddening criminal behavior can become a possible option in life, if Mr. S’s students propose this option, Mr. S can also hear'join the guerrillas' or'care at home'. The mother was so calm and calmly told the students,'If you really want to do this, child, do it', it is truly free choice, and the real'existence precedes essence'!"
