Ito Kamotaro also disliked the shogunate, so he and Takasugi Shinsuke got along very well.
Takasugi Jinsuke told him that he could build a better world. Although there was no specific program, in short it was good. If it was good, that would be it. Ito Kamotaro believed that he had experienced the worst situation and no matter how he changed it, it would not get worse.
.
He had an unfortunate childhood. There was an eldest brother in the family, and the family's hopes were pinned on the eldest brother. The second son was just a little transparent. Unfortunately, the eldest brother fell ill and died young. He got the opportunity to study at the kendo hall, but the family
But he didn't think highly of him.
He studied hard at the kendo gym, but was bullied. After becoming a samurai, he still worked hard to improve, but in the end he was still ignored. Isao Kondo kept talking about his companions, but in fact he only cared about his own small circle.
He has seen enough hypocritical faces since he was a child, so he wants to change the world and make it a better place. In his opinion, the world is already terrible, and once it changes, it will inevitably rebound.
Idealistic, too idealistic.
Human history continues to break through the lower limit, how can it be sure that it will bottom out and rebound?
And Duran felt that Ito Kamotaro had never experienced any real bad things. Maybe it was bad for him, but look at Oedo, how many people couldn't enter the kendo hall, and even struggled to avoid starving to death. He
At least I still have my parents to support me.
Look at those children who beg, do child labor, and work as thieves in order to survive. Obviously, their lives are not the worst, and there is still room for improvement.
As for being bullied and alienated, it's normal operation in this country. It's not like he doesn't know about it, so there's no need to make a fuss about it.
"It's like after the collapse of rituals and music, the only person in the world who speaks is Yang Jimo." Du Lan said that after the collapse of order, idealists are always the first to rise.
After Confucius failed to propose self-denial and restoration of rituals and became a lost dog, Confucianism ushered in two completely different challengers, Zhu Yang and Mohism.
Zhu Yang advocated that although it would benefit the world, not a single cent would be plucked out and not a single city would be taken.
The Mohists advocate universal love rather than aggression, universal love and mutual benefit.
These two schools of thought are completely opposite. One advocates extreme self-protection, and it is best not to exchange material things with others, so that everyone can live a good life. The other advocates that everyone must love others, and love others as much as you love yourself.
, everyone loves each other and satisfies each other, this is a good life.
However, these two concepts were idealist ideas, and they declined as they could not be put into practice.
We can't live by our ideals alone. What we need are ideas that can be put into practice and can make reality better. So Legalism emerged, and Legalism redistributed resources through laws. It was very effective, and countries all over the world changed their laws one after another.
Ito Kamotaro's philosophy is completely idealistic. He naively believes that change will make things better. He is completely ungrounded and completely ignores practical problems.
It is easy to overthrow the shogunate, but the people running the country have not changed and are still landlords. It is difficult to implement changes, so what needs to be done is to transform the country into the Han Dynasty.
Only by allowing talent to flow can changes be made from top to bottom. Otherwise, just changing the shogunate will be of no use, because the landlords have not changed and they are still playing their own games.
This is the objective reality. Only overthrowing the shogunate cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Ito Kamotaro believes that cooperation with the Ghost Army can create a better future, and he is as naive as Zhu Yang and the Mohists.
Of course, these idealists are necessary to promote the further collapse of rituals and music. If there are no idealists to propose ideals, it will be difficult for human beings to imagine the future. However, idealism has limitations, and objective conditions still need to be combined to implement it.
Ideals are ideals, reality is reality.
Duran said that Ito Kamotaro is too idealistic, but it is understandable that he cooperates with the Ghost Soldiers. After all, there is no way to rise in the real selection group. But if you really join the Ghost Soldiers and stay for a while, you will find that in fact the Ghost Soldiers
Likewise, there are small circles in which newcomers cannot be promoted, and even jobs that could lead to death are done by newcomers.
It can only be said that distance creates beauty.
"Naive, so naive. Since we believe that the whole world is hypocritical, how can we easily believe Takasugi Shinsuke? Isn't this contradictory?" Dulan said that since the world is hypocritical, how can he talk to Takasugi Shinsuke?
Lost yourself after just a few words? In the final analysis, Ito Kamotaro is not tired of the world, but wants to have a small circle of his own.
Anyone who does not invite one's own small circle is hypocritical, and anyone who invites one's own small circle is sincere, which is a very double standard.
What can Dulan say? He can only say that such people must be responsible for their own choices, and it is normal for them to die in the end.
In the original work, he finally came to his senses and realized that Kondo Isao's words to protect his companions were not a joke, but he truly followed through on them. No matter they were old companions or new companions, he would protect them.
At this point, he finally knew that he had found a companion in the Shinsengumi, but it was a pity that he never realized it.
The real companion was in front of him, but he didn't cherish it. He only regretted it when he lost it. If God gave him another chance, I hope it would be ten thousand years.
"So he can't tell the difference between good and bad. Maybe he actually had many opportunities to get companions in his life, but he missed them all because of his indifference and suspicion." Dulan thinks this is very possible,
Because this guy has no ability to distinguish.
He can only judge good or bad by the attitudes clearly displayed by others, and is completely unable to understand deep and implicit expressions.
"When you hear someone say a few good things, you think the other person is a good person. When you hear someone say a few bad words, you think the other person is a bad person. But you don't know that good advice is harsh to the ears, nor do you know that a knife's mouth is full of heart, let alone a sweet heart and a sword." Du Lan
The more I read, the more I feel that this person really lacks common sense. He is so old and can only rely on words to judge society.
Don't look at what other people say, look at what others do. Since you think the world is hypocritical, it must be inconsistent with appearance, words and deeds. Why do you believe what others say? Only at the last moment did you realize that Isao Kondo is consistent with his words and deeds.
companions, not the ghost soldiers.
So this person doesn't know what he wants at all. What he wants is not to overthrow the shogunate, but to form a small circle. He doesn't really think the world is hypocritical, but he lacks judgment and cannot distinguish between sincerity and hypocrisy.
"You can't see yourself clearly, and you can't see others clearly. What's more terrible is that you are self-righteous." Dulan said that this kind of person is more terrifying than a black person. A black person can at least distinguish between a good person and a good person, but Ito Kamotaro cannot tell the difference at all.
If Du Lan persuades him to go dark, the other person will probably believe it and go straight to do bad things. Before he advised people to go dark, others have their own values and will distinguish them and take the essence and discard the dross. This guy must be the same regardless of good or bad.
accept.
If you educate the other party, you have to start with the most basic ability to distinguish. Dulan thought it was too difficult, so he asked him to carry out the assassination and grow through this matter. First, he learned, "Watch what he does, don't listen to what he says."
'.
Although his parents said that he was not as good as his eldest brother, they still gave him all the opportunities that his eldest brother had and still raised him. This upbringing was not fake. Saying that he was not as good as his eldest brother could also be understood as motivation and was not a bad intention.
Of course, it’s true that the Shinsengumi doesn’t have a way to rise, but the Ghost Soldiers don’t either. Although Takasugi Shinsuke boasts a lot, he’s just using the newcomers.
If you want to be promoted, you still need to change the shogunate.
However, what Ito Kamotaro wants most is a small circle. Promotion is the way to enter a small circle. If you can enter a small circle, you can actually do without promotion.
It's a pity that he didn't realize that what he needed was a circle, not a promotion. But he only focused on promotion, so that he missed his real companions, which was completely putting the cart before the horse. It can only be said that his IQ still needs to be improved.
