"Classmates, Mr. Watanabe is not feeling well today, so I will teach history class. Today we will study 'faith'." Duran returned to the Third New Tokyo City again and stood on the podium majestically, not afraid of seele at all.
Come and catch yourself.
The students were shocked and then cheered that their favorite teacher was back.
Du Lan smiled and pressed his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and said, "Let's go to class first."
"Students, do you know what faith is?"
Everyone is diverse and expresses their own opinions. Some people say that belief in God is faith, while others say that belief in anything can be called faith.
"What you said is correct, but you haven't talked about the essence. The so-called faith is something that allows you to dedicate your own interests for free. This matter can be a serious matter or an absurd matter. And groups of people with the same belief
They are people who have the same distribution relationship." "On the other hand, people without faith are people who are not willing to dedicate their own interests under any circumstances. They only accept exchanges and do not accept free contributions." Duran was still the same, speaking astonishingly.
Leave the students stunned.
It is different from the education I receive in daily life, but it makes sense.
From the perspective of interests, faith means that you will dedicate your own interests for free at certain times. Without faith, you will only accept exchanges and will never donate for free. The priority is to protect your own interests. Therefore, people who think they have faith will be afraid
People without faith, because they will feel that people without faith only live for themselves, and it is impossible to be friends with people without faith, because people without faith will betray their friends at any time for their own interests.
Faith means believing in something and being willing to dedicate one's own interests for free. This thing can be a god, a moral code, service to the people, family ties, or even the Feitian Spaghetti Cult and the
Earth Cat Cult...
The point is that for this matter, even if there is no reward, you are willing to dedicate yourself. If you think about reward, it is not faith, but a transaction.
Trading is a manifestation that one's own interests cannot be damaged, and it is a manifestation of having no faith.
"The reason why different faiths are so contradictory is that they all regard their own faith as the only one and hope that others will accept this faith. But obviously this is impossible, because faith can only be something that individuals devote themselves to. If
To extend oneself to others is to force it, just like reaching into our wallets to grab money to pay for other people's beliefs, that is wrong." "The teacher was deeply touched during this period, because there is such a group of people in the world clamoring
They put their hands into our wallets and ask us to pay for their beliefs, which is really wrong." Duran almost named Seele directly.
The students also knew that it must be the group of guys standing in the middle of the altar. Seele didn't know what the hell he believed in. Not only did he hide it from everyone, but he also asked everyone to pay for it. The students were instinctively unwilling. After all, they didn't believe in seele.
I don’t even know what Seele believes in.
"Teacher, how should I prevent my wallet from being emptied out?" A classmate raised his hand and asked.
Dulan said: "Good question, the best way is to find a belief for yourself. As long as we are different from them, then we can continue to fight unswervingly. We live in this chaotic world, what do you say?
Is it worthy of our dedication?”
"To build the earth into a better place." Some students said.
Shinji Ikari was very happy to see Duran back, but now he had to think about what they could do. During this time, he also thought about many things, humans and apostles, people and people, people and technology... But he has not yet
a result.
Asuka squinted at Duran. She had heard before that Duran drove Unit Zero to defeat the Thunder Angels in incredible ways, and also trained Shinji Ikari in even more incredible ways. This made her not like Duran very much because she
I feel like Duran is really giving away to his competitors.
As a survivor who stands out from the Asuka model clones, she is full of competition and crisis awareness, because if she cannot do her best and prove her worth, then her life is not guaranteed, so she has to show her teeth.
, had to grin, all to cover up her inner uneasiness and anxiety. In fact, she envied Shinji Ikari for having a commander father, such a strong synchronization rate, and even a teacher who started a small stove. He had so many people supporting him.
Shinji Ikari, and she has nothing, she can only rely on herself and work hard to survive.
Under such pressure to survive, Asuka may seem cheerful and arrogant, but in fact her nerves are highly nervous, and even the slightest accident can cause her to collapse.
All she can rely on is Unit 2, and she can only continue to prove herself through battles. So Asuka is really pitiful, Shinji Ikari has a father after all, and Rei Ayanami has no feelings and does not know how to be afraid, and Asuka is the only one who does not have the slightest sense of security.
So Dulan asked what kind of faith is worthy of everyone's devotion. Asuka didn't know at all, because she felt that she was empty and had nothing to offer the world, so naturally she couldn't find faith.
Faith is definitely a free and expensive luxury. After all, only those who have the ability to contribute are qualified to believe. Sometimes many people don’t even know what they have, they can only see what they don’t have.
Asuka is like this, the only thing she knows she has is the identity of the pilot of Unit 2, and nothing else. So she doesn't know what she can believe in, and she doesn't know what she can spend on her faith. Sometimes she even feels that the world
Everything was so ruthless, taking away everything from her and not giving her any choice. The world was so disgusting, and nothing left for her was what she needed.
Faith needs to be chosen, and Asuka knew that she could not choose. She looked at Shinji Ikari, a second-generation official, who would still have a place even if she left Neuron. She then looked at Rei Ayanami. Although they were both clones,
Ayanami Rei had her emotions suppressed, so she just went with the flow. As for herself, the neurons gave her feelings, but didn't give her the power to choose. It would be better to have no feelings than not.
Faith? This kind of thing has nothing to do with you.
"This new classmate, why don't you speak? Don't you understand the island language?" Dulan said that after leaving for a while, a new classmate appeared, and naturally he wanted to talk to her at this time.
"I'm not interested in this kind of thing." Asuka used indifference to protect herself. After all, it is much easier to say that she is not interested than to say that she has no choice, and it will not let people see that she is strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
"Then I recommend you to believe in 'The lives of apostles are also lives'. You don't need to offer anything special, just release water during the battle." Duran said that this belief is very easy for the driver to realize, and it is completely
No extra dedication is required.
"Why should I listen to you?" Asuka said that she only listens to herself.
Shinji Ikari thought to himself that Asuka was really too tough and didn't understand how scary Teacher Duran was. He would hit people with his jeep.
Du Lan narrowed his eyes, thinking about the unruly young man plus one. So he said: "After school today, you stay here and participate in extracurricular training with Shinji Ikari."
Shinji Ikari smiled unconsciously when he heard this. He didn't know whether he was happy to resume training or happy that someone finally had to suffer with him. Anyway, he smiled.
