Chapter 63 You are quite childish in your thinking
You are quite naive in your thinking...
After living for so many years, it was the first time for Six Paths Immortal to hear someone commenting on him like this.
When people evaluated him in the past, they always praised how strong he was, how great he was, said he was a kind and loving man, and praised the ideas pursued by the Ninja Sect he established. No one ever said that his thoughts were childish.
Being judged as childish, Sage of Six Paths was not angry at all, but rather curious: "Descendant of Hamura, why do you say that?"
Ningji said: "You founded the Ninja Sect and preached that people should trust each other and help each other, and achieve peace with love, but what are the specific implementation methods? Mutual trust and mutual assistance, what is trust, and what standard is assistance? If
What should we do if someone violates mutual trust and mutual assistance?"
Sage of Six Paths did not reply, because he thought carefully about it, and found that in the Ninja Sect he established, there was no answer to the question Neji asked.
Mutual trust and mutual assistance means that if something happens, everyone must trust each other and there will be no misunderstanding, resentment, or hatred. That is, if anyone is in trouble, those who are capable will help him. When it is his turn to have trouble, it is better to help him.
Accept help from others.
What's wrong with this?
completely fine!
What implementation methods are needed?
There is no need at all, because this is a matter of course and everyone knows it!
But if there is really no problem, then why did the Ninja Sect fall apart and the ideas that the Ninja Sect followed were not passed down?
The Ninja Sect has fallen apart, and the ideas pursued by the Ninja Sect are not the current mainstream in the Ninja world. It can even be said that they have been thrown away by the current Ninjas. This shows that there are problems, and the problems are quite big.
After a long silence, the Immortal of Six Paths said: "Descendants of Hamura, do you think I did something wrong?"
Neji said: "Of course you are wrong. Although your intentions are good, your approach is wrong. As a result, since your death, the ninja world has become more turbulent and the fights have become more cruel."
"You are right to establish a ninja sect, spread chakra, and expect people to trust and help each other and achieve peace with love. However, if you place this idea entirely on people's moral consciousness, you are completely wrong.
"
Moral consciousness?
The Immortal of Six Paths heard another new term.
Ningji continued: "I have said before that 'people are all selfish', 'people's hearts have good and evil, good and bad, it is not either good or evil, good or bad',"
Even if you are a good person who is praised by everyone, you may not have dark thoughts in your heart. You place your thoughts entirely on people's moral consciousness, but in fact you are too subjective to believe that people's hearts are good."
"If all people are pure and kind people without selfish motives, your idea will certainly work. However, the real human heart has both good and evil! Have you ever thought about a question..." Ningci paused and looked at the Sage of Six Paths.
, making the Six Paths Immortal wonder, what is the problem?
Ningji shook his head and said: "It seems that you haven't thought about it! I have already said that your idea requires everyone to be a pure and kind person without selfish motives. But if someone has selfish motives and pays for it in the Ninja Sect you established,
Really, what will happen?"
The Six Paths Immortal was startled. He really hadn't thought about this problem, but what's the point? The Ninja Sect fell apart and the ideas it followed were not spread. Is it related to it?
Ningji said: "To help you understand, let me give you an example! In your Ninja sect, people must trust each other and help each other, which means that when someone encounters difficulties, others must lend a helping hand to support him.
"
"But if the person who encounters difficulties is not really in difficulty, he just encounters difficulties because he is lazy and doesn't want to work, because he knows that according to your idea, if he is in trouble, he will be helped by others, and he will definitely
He will not die of hunger, thirst, cold or illness."
Hearing this, Sage of Six Paths already understood what Ning was going to say, and his heart moved. It turned out that this was the reason why the Ninja Sect fell apart.
He sighed secretly. It was true that the Ninja Sect collapsed unjustly. It was indeed his naivety, but why didn't he think of it before? Why weren't these problems exposed when he was alive?
These questions emerged from the consciousness of the Sage of Six Paths, and he immediately thought of the answer: When he was alive, he was too strong. Except for Indra, who dared to explode or disobey his will?
Even if they are dissatisfied with him and the Ninja Sect he established, others will not show it and will only bury it in their hearts.
And when he passed away and inherited the Ninja Sect, Asura and his descendants did not have his invincible power to suppress everything. The problems that should erupt naturally broke out one after another, eventually leading to the collapse of the Ninja Sect.
Ningci said: "Under the Ninja Sect you established, that lazy person is helped by others and can eat and drink well every day without having to work by himself. What do those who work hard think?"
"..." Immortal Six Paths didn't say anything. He used his toes to think about what those hard-working people thought.
Ningci said: "Of course they feel uncomfortable. They will think why the lazy man can still enjoy the food and drink well without working. They work hard to support him? Over time, if this phenomenon is not punished and stopped, those who are diligent will
People will gradually stop working."
"Because anyway, if you work hard, you will get the same food as if you don't work, so why do you do it? Why don't we all just stay lazy and wait for help from others? This is one of the reasons why the Ninja Sect fell apart!"
"In addition to this reason, the Ninja Sect you established has too high moral requirements for people, and actually lowers the moral level."
It was a very new sentence that I had never heard before. The Six Paths Sage was very puzzled. The Ninja Sect he established had high moral requirements for people, so why did it lower the actual moral level?
"At first, I didn't understand it until my senior told me a story: The senior said that in a certain world, there is a country called 'Lu State'. The Lu State has a law, and the people of the Lu State become slaves abroad.
, whoever can redeem them can go to the treasury to reimburse the ransom."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Once, a man used his own money to redeem a Lu man who had become a slave in another country, but after he returned to his country, he refused the state compensation."
This is a good thing. He does good deeds without expecting anything in return. This person is very kind, and it is in line with the ideas pursued by his ninja sect. What's the problem?
The Immortal of Six Paths couldn't figure it out. Moreover, who was the predecessor mentioned by the descendants of Hamura? He had never heard of a country called "Lu Country" in the world?
Ningci said: "After this man's behavior was learned by his teacher, the teacher not only did not praise him, but instead educated him, saying that it was not a good thing for him not to accept compensation from the country, because some famous things would change customs.
Habits affect the behavior of other people. For example, this person did this, he saved others without expecting anything in return, which is indeed morally noble."
"After this incident spreads, others will definitely use him as a role model. Even if some people are not happy in their hearts, they will praise this person on the surface for doing well and doing the right thing. But..."
Ningji made a twist: "This man is very rich. It will not affect him if he does not receive compensation from the state. However, there are few rich people in Lu country and many poor people. If other people encounter the same situation as this man, I will see some people become slaves in other countries."
Compatriots, what should we do? Should they save us or not?"
"If they don't save them, they will feel guilty in their conscience; if they can save them, they have to pay for the redemption themselves. But after they save the people, because of the precedent of the rich man, they can't accept the compensation from the country, because once they accept it, they will be
Morally, they are not as noble as the rich man, and people will even maliciously criticize them for saving people for the country's compensation, out of selfishness."
"Do you think they will save her in the end, or not?"
The Immortal of Six Paths was silent again. The answer was obvious, it must be no rescue!
Ningji said: "Most people will choose not to save people because they are not rich enough. If they spend their own money to save people, they will get nothing but a good name. Instead, it will make their lives difficult, so why should they?
Save? Instead of doing this, it is better to pretend to turn a blind eye and not know that our compatriots are working as slaves!"
"After listening to the teacher's words, the rich man later rescued a man who fell into the water. The man thanked him and gave him a cow. This time, he did not refuse and accepted it. The rich teacher saw this scene
, saying that now the people of Lu will be brave enough to save those who fall into the water."
"The Ninja Sect you established also has the problem of the rich man. Your moral requirements for people are too high. When they know that they can't do it, they will turn a blind eye even if they see someone in trouble and in urgent need of their help."
"Because if they do it, not only will they not get substantial rewards, but they may get into trouble, so why bother to rescue them? Isn't it better to pretend that they can't see or don't know?"
The Immortal of Six Paths remained silent. He had never thought about this. When he established the Ninja Sect, he felt that people could do it and should do it. Unexpectedly, his high expectations and high expectations for people would instead be like shackles on people.
When you can't do it, just don't do it.
He has already thought about the consequences of this influence, causing some people who need help and who could get help to end up not getting help...
Just like someone who is drowning, he could have been rescued, but because he has too high moral requirements on people, people turn a blind eye to the drowning person and let him drown.
When the Ninja sect falls apart, I am afraid that not only is it not the way he expected people to help each other and overcome difficulties together, but it is more likely that they are indifferent to each other's plight, and may even add insult to injury.
'The descendants of Hamura are right, my thoughts are indeed childish! The descendants of Hamura can see through all this, and they must also know the solution. I used to think that Asura's path can bring long-lasting peace to the ninja world...' Six Paths Sage
He secretly said something and looked at Neji expectantly.
Neji continued: "Actually, if you want to really carry forward the Ninja sect and make everyone abide by it, you need to formulate detailed laws to let people realize that there are benefits to doing good things and punishments for doing bad things, instead of simply
Just shouting a few slogans can convince people. In a sense, you and Senju Hashirama are the same type of person!"
'Senju Hashirama, the descendant of Asura, the reincarnation of Asura's chakra? The descendant of Indra seems to have obtained Asura's chakra from him, which led to my power... But I
What do you have in common with him?'
The Sage of Six Paths was thinking as he listened to Neci's words: "You and Senju Hashirama are both the most powerful men of their generation, especially you, who are almost invincible at your time."
"You are too powerful, so when you were alive, no one dared to openly oppose the rules you set, so the peace at that time was maintained. Your Ninja system, Senju Hashirama's 'one country, one village' system,
It all looked great at the time and there were no problems.”
"But in fact, it's not that there are no problems. It's just because of your strength that all problems were suppressed underwater. So, when you passed away, the Ninja Sect fell apart, and the Ninja World War broke out again, and it was far more brutal than before."
"This is also the second mistake you and Senju Hashirama share. You obviously had the power to unify the ninja world, but you didn't do it. You established the ninja sect and allowed people to develop freely. Senju Hashirama created the idea of 'one country, one country'.
Village', not only allows the daimyo and the shadow to rule the country together, but also allows many ninja villages to coexist."
"Who knows that the more forces at the same level, the more mixed people's hearts are. Due to different interests between forces and groups, conflicts and problems will often be more acute than those in the same organization. That's why once a war breaks out, the fight will be so fierce.
Tragic.”
"If you and Senju Hashirama can unify the ninja world and establish laws, even after your death, wars will still happen, but sooner or later they will be unified and return to peace."
"Especially in your time, you unified the ninja world. Even if the ninja sect is still falling apart, every once in a while, the world will be unified and gain peace that lasts for decades or hundreds of years. Because the idea of unification has been implanted
In the hearts of people in the ninja world, they will not be in a state of division all the time, and a war may break out at any time. 'The general trend of the world is that if we unite for a long time, we will divide, and if we divide for a long time, we will unite'!"
When the Immortal of the Six Paths heard this sentence, "The general trend of the world, if it unites for a long time, it must divide, and if it unites for a long time, it must unite." He was quite shocked. These were all things he had not expected.
Neji sighed: "It's a pity that you didn't. You don't know how important unification is to a war-torn world. You missed two opportunities to bring peace to the ninja world!"
"Although after the ninja world was unified in your era, it probably wouldn't be possible for the unified ninja world to last for a long time, but it is better than constant war."
"Of course, this cannot be entirely your fault. Your naive thinking is also subject to the limitations of the times. In the professional terms of the seniors, it is the cognitive limitations caused by the education you received."
Hearing Neji mention that mysterious senior again, Sage of Six Paths became more and more curious. Who was the senior that the descendants of Hamura were talking about? Was it someone he knew, or someone he didn't know?
Ningji said: "The education you received will develop your thinking habits and cognition. It is always difficult for people to break through the existing cognition, so you can't think of this. To put it simply, we are always used to thinking about what we already know.
I don’t think much about unknown things.”
"Descendants of Hamura, I admit that what you said is reasonable..."
The Sage of Six Paths looked at Ningji with extremely serious eyes: "But how do you want to change the ninja world?"
