Chapter 5487: Freedom, independence and no envy of immortals
The ancestor nodded and said: "Yes, in this way, although they have technologically degraded for thousands of years and returned to the ancient times, they can still be free. It can be said that although they have lost everything, they have gained freedom. This
It has also been advocated by Taoists since ancient times. In fact, human beings are such complex animals. In order to survive better, they have to sacrifice a lot of personal freedom.
, they must accept rule and management, form a collective, elect a leader and obey the leader's rule, but once they have enough food and clothing and survival is no longer a problem, they will be dissatisfied with being managed and ruled by others and want to rule and manage others.
People. This is power, which allows people to enjoy the joy of driving and dominating others, and also makes them become people that others are jealous of or even want to replace."
Heipao's frown deepened and he murmured: "So, if Liu Yu can not only lead the people of Jin to live a better life, but also give up the power that everyone wants to have, then he
Just like he will really become a god in the world, and will always be admired by others, is this what Liu Yu really wants to do? Not asking for sacrifices from future generations, but just asking for everyone in the world to regard him as an ancestor, a human god?"
The ancestor sighed: "I'm afraid that's it. If Liu Yu can give up his position as king and give up the power that everyone has wanted since ancient times, then he can really do things that we can't even imagine.
thing. Because human initiative, the root of creativity
Source, in fact, is related to freedom. If you are always being managed and ruled by others, and you are just taking orders from others, and if you do not necessarily do things that you approve or want, then you really will not have much motivation. On this point, you all
As a ruler, you should know it very well."
Having said this, a strange smile appeared on the ancestor's face: "Just like you, as gods, you are often the secret masters of this world, the Son of Heaven in the Mountains, but you will still be controlled by me, even Jiutian
The gods above, the ancestors, still fear
It will offend us gods and bring you eternal consequences. Therefore, you will do everything possible to become a god yourself. To put it bluntly, in addition to wanting the endless lifespan, you also want to get rid of us gods.
Ancestral control, complete freedom?”
The black robe lowered his head and said nothing, while the doupeng said: "My ancestor, you have also ascended from the gods. You know these principles better than us. However, every day when we are your disciples in the human world,
We will all do our duty and act according to your instructions. Today you have taught us so many principles. In fact, you want to let us understand that what Liu Yu wants to do is something that no one has ever done before.
What he has done is to voluntarily give up power and not pursue becoming a god or immortal. He has completely characterized himself as a human being. A person with a life span of only a few decades or even more than a hundred years is to live in a limited time.
In life, to accomplish the great deeds he wants to achieve, although the disciple is stupid, after listening to so many analyses, I feel more and more that Liu Yu will not be able to succeed."
The ancestor smiled slightly: "Oh, Venerable Doupeng, why do you think Liu Yu can't succeed? Because others are not as selfless as him?"
Doupeng gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, human nature is inherently greedy and selfish. It is not just about having enough food and clothing. If you don't have to worry about food and clothing, you will think about how to make your children and grandchildren also have food and clothing. After you have children and grandchildren, you will think about it.
Thinking about how to have more wives and concubines can allow you to have fun. After the wives and concubines gather in groups, they will have an innate desire to possess and conquer, and want others to obey their orders and be driven by themselves. This is how humans treat others.
For power, the endless pursuit of desire. Even if Liu Yu himself can have no desires and desires, he cannot let others give up on this. Just like the ancient tribe that was once selfless, it finally became a family and a world, and became a blood inheritance.
, you also said that it is not because life is too hard and people's mentality changes, but because life is good and there are surplus products, so people's desires and greed appear."
The black robe also raised his head and answered: "Yes, the greed and selfishness in human nature cannot be changed by Liu Yu. Even if he sets an example, it is just a futile and lonely act. The human heart in ancient times was originally selfless.
But with surplus products, power, differentiation, and desire begin to emerge. In this world, the more Liu Yu can make the country produce more products, the more it will become privatized, and the more it will stimulate people.
Liu Yu himself abdicated, abdicated, and delegated power, and people in later generations would follow suit. The rule of the three generations of antiquity and the ancient sages and sages have always been praised and praised by Confucian masters, but they also
We can only talk about it, because after humans choose the path of blood inheritance and heirs to pass on the family line, it is impossible to return to the selfless ancient times, and Liu Yu cannot do it."
"When he is alive, he may be able to suppress the world for a while, but after he dies, will everything go back to the past? Even when he is alive now, others are only obedient to him, whether they are his colleagues in the Beifu Army
A comrade-in-arms, a collaborator of a noble family, a comrade-in-arms and friend for decades,
He will not follow his ideas, let alone his descendants. If he chooses to be the emperor himself, then the biggest victims of handing over power will be his descendants. A person who does not even love his own descendants will want to deprive him of his power.
How can the people who inherit their rights truly care about the people of the world?"
At this point, Heipao paused and said in a deep voice: "I can completely describe him as a false saint like Wang Mang, who is as traitorous as he is loyal, and who is as fake as he is true, but he is nothing more than a deceitful person who steals his reputation!"
The ancestor smiled slightly and said: "You think Liu Yu is too simple. If he really wants to do this, he will no longer expect the bright side of human nature, and he will not expect to be able to rely on the consciousness of the people in the world.
Let me inherit this set, because the current Liu Yu is not the martial artist you imagined, that
An idealist can make sacrifices and compromises for his own great cause, and he will definitely do things you can't imagine in order to protect his great cause. For example, this kind of popular education is to enlighten the people's wisdom, pass on the blood lineage, and accept the orders of the people.
This theory is an important step in completely rejecting it."
The faces of the black robe and the cloak changed at the same time, and their hands clenched their fists unconsciously. These words touched the most fearful part in their hearts, so that they could not refute them.
The ancestor's gaze was like a torch, piercing the two people's eyes: "If the saying of being ordered by heaven and being protected by gods is no longer believed by the world, then with the blood of gods, descendants can live for thousands of generations, is it still possible?" (
