What is faith? I don’t know, but I can at least feel its existence. Faith should be a kind of conviction that comes from deep in the heart without any conditions attached. This kind of conviction is indescribable, but it occupies the believer’s mind everywhere.
soul.
What is true faith? I think faith should be a kind of conviction without any conditions. When did the Chinese people start to lose faith as a whole? We first admit that ignorant people have no faith, because a person can’t even believe in himself.
If you don’t understand the meaning of your own existence, you won’t be convinced.
The Chinese people under feudal rule are not really ignorant as a whole, but thousands of years of rule have made them develop a slave character. Mr. Lu Xun said that the Chinese people have a slave nature in their bones. Indeed, in the feudal era
As long as the Chinese people have a chance to be slaves, they will not resist. Of course, if the ruler does not even give them the opportunity to be slaves, they will have no choice but to resist because they want to survive.
This just shows that our ancestors did not really believe in the gods fabricated by the rulers. Because when the dynasties changed, our ancestors dared to subvert the entire world. Even Chen Sheng, a peasant, dared to say boldly: Princes, generals, and ministers would rather have the seed.
Huh?
Although I don’t fully understand Westerners’ beliefs, their way of thinking is not difficult to grasp. Western medieval rule has always been a cycle of political and religious rule, and the church has always been the supreme ruler of the West at least in form.
.
Therefore, Western de facto rulers should not deliberately promote the idea of divine right of kings. The work they do is mainly to cooperate with the work of the church, so the church has become the only thing people believe in.
The most important idea in Westerners' beliefs is "original sin." They believe that people are born with sin. They can put aside all sins in reality and devoutly hope for God's redemption. They hope and
God has closer inner communication, so the most important way for them to believe is through confession and communication with the priest.
The Chinese people's beliefs seem to be very utilitarian. You will often see many Chinese people bringing things to pray to Buddha. An apple is for fame, and a coin is for a son. In fact, this scene has no substance to the transactions in real life.
Sexual differences. But this is not subject to the constraints of the market, it is a transaction of materials and ideas. Such a belief is very dangerous and can be easily shaken.
A person without faith will lose his way; a nation without faith will lose hope.
Regarding this issue, I have had private conversations with leaders of universities and education committees. They all have the same views on this issue as I do, and they also believe that our biggest problem at present is that our beliefs and values have not been established at all.
Our country is a one-party dictatorship, and the values proposed by this party are also vague. At least on issues of values and beliefs, it does not propose anything that the people can truly accept, and... even those who have been
Some of the slogans raised are still being trampled on by people within the system. That's why today's money society emerged.
This is very scary.
Although those of us within the system can understand this problem clearly, we are unable to do anything about it. This is because this problem is a national-level problem, and it is also an ideological problem.
What is ideology? It is the nature of a country. Not to mention people at my level, even those at a higher level cannot change it. Anyone who tries to change it is subversive and unconstitutional.
Of course, I am not saying that there is a problem with the nature of our country. I never mean that. However, the reform of our political system, especially the employment system and judicial independence, must be reformed. Because this system has been completely
They are not adapted to the values and management models of modern society, and can even easily intensify social conflicts.
In fact, most people within the system are very concerned about similar issues, because such issues are not only related to themselves, but also related to the future of the country.
Not all officials only care about their own interests. Many of us still love this country deeply. And the problem of the system is ultimately a problem of the fate of officials. Because under the advanced system, as an official
In fact, he is also a victim.
Our power has no supervision, and the way to serve as an official depends entirely on the officials' conscience and self-restraint. This is actually very dangerous for officials. If there is not a more complete system, officials will face huge risks at any time -
- Absolute power, and this absolute power is not subject to supervision. This is a very scary thing.
I think that for those officials who are deeply in jail, while they feel self-remorse, they may hate the current system the most. Indeed, it is the current system that has harmed them.
With so many thoughts on his mind, he unknowingly drove the car downstairs to Zhu Dan's residence.
Start calling her, "I'm downstairs. I'm hungry. Let's go get something to eat."
She said in a surprised voice, "Ah? When did you come back?"
I replied: "I came back to do some errands in the afternoon. I had a meal at a leader's house. I was not full."
She immediately laughed, "I didn't expect you to have stage fright sometimes. Haha! I can imagine how reserved you are in the leader's house."
I also laughed, "The problem is, that leader doesn't eat meat at night, and the table is full of vegetables. Now I want to have a big meal."
She immediately said: "I'm down. I'm changing clothes. I'll talk about it later."
She got out of the car very quickly, looked at me and smiled after getting in the car, then hugged me and kissed me hard on the face, "Smile, you are so cute. Only now do I feel that you and
I am just an ordinary person."
I couldn't laugh or cry, "I'm just an ordinary person."
She let go of me and said, "No, I always thought you were the leader before."
I looked at her strangely, "Did you think so when we were in bed?"
She immediately glared at me, "I hate it! How could it be? But after the incident is over, you will be the leader again. Hee hee!"
My heart suddenly started to pound, "Xiao Dan, let's... let's go upstairs first. Actually, I'm not particularly hungry."
She looked at me with coquettish eyes, "You want to eat me, don't you?"
The passion in my heart became more intense, "Yes. Let's go up, I want you."
It was already dawn when I woke up, and I seemed to hear the cheerful chirping of birds outside the window. She was in my arms, and her arms were hugging me.
I touched her face and felt that the skin on her face was as delicate as a baby's.
She likes to sleep in, and I couldn't bear to wake her up, so I gently removed her arms from my body and her face, and then gently got up.
Some people say that girls who like to sleep in are cute. I think so too.
After washing, I was ready to go out, because I had to do a private thing today. But just when I was about to go out, Zhu Dan woke up, and she asked me from behind: "Are you leaving so early?"
I turned around and saw that she was lying lazily on the bed. I said to her, "I have to do something in the morning."
She asked me again: "Are you going back to Shangjiang today?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know now. I'm calling to see if there's anything important..." At this point, I suddenly realized something, "Xiao Dan, what are you doing today?"
?"
She stretched out her arms towards me, "Come, let me hug you."
She looked very cute and a little naughty, so I immediately went to her. She got up from the bed, and her naked body was beautifully displayed in front of me. She stretched out her arms to hug me, and then
I kissed my face and said, "I want to have dinner with you tonight. I want to go to the restaurant of the highest hotel in our city, which is the restaurant on the top floor. I want to eat there."
I smiled and said, "Why does it have to be today..." Suddenly, I understood a little bit, "Today is your birthday?"
She hugged me tightly and gently rubbed her face on my cheek, "Yes. You stay with me today, okay?"
I was melted by her tenderness, "I will try my best, unless there is something very special."
She kissed me on the face and said, "You are so kind."
After I went out, I drove home directly. The nanny had already prepared breakfast. After breakfast, I sent the child to kindergarten with the nanny. I didn’t drive, and held the child’s hand and walked to the school. The child kept talking to me all the way.
When I talked, he was mainly asking me some things that he couldn't understand or didn't know. Among them, he asked me a question, "Dad, all my classmates have mothers, where is my mother?" (To be continued)
