The middle-aged man looked at the Book of Truth in Ma Wei's hand and was obviously stunned for a moment. He muttered in his heart: Does he want to preach?
At this juncture?
Weren't you still blackmailing me a second ago?
Why did you take out the teachings and discuss the truth with me in the next second?
All kinds of doubts popped up in his mind, and the middle-aged man was confused by Ma Wei's unreasonable behavior pattern.
"Of course I believe there is truth in this world."
After hesitating for a moment, the middle-aged man finally spoke: "The truth in everyone's heart is different. For beggars on the street, they just want a good meal or clothes that can warm their bodies and help them survive the cold winter.
, material needs are the truth, but what about the nobles and princes who live in luxurious palaces? What they pursue is power, greater power. Basic material needs can no longer satisfy them, and their increasingly expanding ambitions make them use any means.
Gathering wealth, power, and status is the truth!"
"It's very well said. The truth is not static and varies from person to person."
Ma Wei nodded and continued to ask: "So to you, Levine Berger, what is the truth?"
The middle-aged man opened his mouth and wanted to answer immediately, but the words circled around his mouth and swallowed them back. A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
yes
What is truth to him?
food?
wealth?
status?
He has never considered this issue in depth, and after much thought, it seems difficult to find a label that suits him.
"If you understand the definition of truth, you will find that this is a very simple question."
Ma Wei shook his head: "From a macro perspective, I personally think that the truth can be roughly divided into three directions."
"They are geometry based on physics and mathematics, commonly known as absolute truth, relative truth based on thinking methods and clear logic, and spiritual truth based on the soul, which finally breaks through the objective and subjective, and completely escapes from it."
"The geometric truth is the sword in the hand, the logical truth is the foundation that lays everything down, which can be compared to the body, and the spiritual truth is the brain that combines the two and drives them."
"Any one of these three can be called the truth, but it is not completely the truth. They are just one way of the truth. When the three ways are combined into one and perfectly combined, they are eternal and correct.
truth."
"The material needs you just mentioned belong to the branch of spiritual truth, and they are just starting from personal subjective consciousness. They have not yet escaped from the understanding of the concept of self itself. They are emotional and full of desires."
"What's the point of all this stuff?"
After listening to Ma Wei's words, the middle-aged man was confused. He probably understood the definition of truth, but he still didn't know why he did this:
"Instead of studying these illusory things, why not think more about what you will eat tomorrow!"
"Then why do you give up the wealth you have so easily to help the poor?"
"I"
"Although you did this, you don't know what you are pursuing."
The rain slapped against the car window, but Ma Wei turned a deaf ear. He just lowered his eyes and said softly: "The truth is not something that is divorced from reality as you think. It is around us, in life."
"Most of the people who pursue geometric truths are scientists. They spend their entire lives developing means of production that can change human life, such as the steam trains and railways under us, the furnaces in factories, and textile machines."
"Once the means of production are in the hands of a few people who seek their own interests, they become a sharp knife for killing people, a sharp weapon that thirsts for human blood and breaks bones and sucks marrow!"
"As you said, this kind of people will never stop. In their eyes, only power, wealth, and desire have taken over their bodies and minds. They are the worms of society and the enemies of the oppressed!"
"There are always some people who can't stand what they do and stand up to resist. Aren't you, Mr. Levine Berger, such a person?"
Staring into the middle-aged man's thoughtful eyes, Ma Wei suddenly sighed:
"What a pity. The methods you used are too childish."
"childish?"
The middle-aged man raised his head: "I distribute money to the poor. Is this childish behavior?"
"You can save them for a while, but you can't save them forever. As long as the means of production are still in the hands of moths, the situation will never change!"
Ma Wei said solemnly: "Not only that, you stole 100 gold pounds from them today, and tomorrow, they will plunder 200, 300 or even more from the people!"
"Your behavior is very righteous, but you have not considered the consequences of doing so."
".Then what should I do?"
Unconsciously, the middle-aged man no longer wanted to escape. He began to talk to Ma Wei seriously and asked for his opinion.
"Solve the problem at its source."
"Source?" The middle-aged man frowned.
"Yes, if we want to fight against these moths, we must awaken people's consciousness, get people to unite, and light the bonfire in their hearts!"
Leaning forward, Ma Wei put the Book of Truth on the middle-aged man's lap: "It's useless to fight alone. Personal heroism is not advisable. You are not the only one in the world who wants to stand up and resist. What we need is
A ray of light, the light of truth!”
"Read it. This is the program of action of the Church of Truth."
Woo~~~
Woo~~~
A dull whistle came from the front of the car. Ma Wei picked up the brown checkered box and stood up: "What you need and what you pursue are all annotated inside. If you are willing, come to Kerr Street 99
No., the Church of Truth opens its door to you at any time."
After saying that, Ma Wei got off the train. After a while, the train started slowly. In the window, the middle-aged man looked at him with a confused expression. Then he jumped through the window, his lips flying up and down, as if he was talking.
Telling the most touching love words in the world.
Ma Wei couldn't hear it, and waved to him with a smile.
"You just let him go?"
Xiao Hei, who was lying on his shoulder, asked: "He has almost been persuaded by you, can't you try harder? If such a powerful Phantom Thief can join our church, it will definitely be a big help! Besides, you will
I gave him the Book of Truth, and it will be a big loss if he doesn’t come back! After all, it’s our only handwritten teachings, nya!”
"The heat is almost there. It's useless to say more. He needs to think about the rest by himself."
Watching the train go away, Ma Wei put down his arms and said quietly: "I believe he will come back."
"Why? How can you be so sure?"
"because."
Ma Wei glanced at the brown checkered box in his hand:
