Bess is a tall man who wants to be a hero, but because he is very tall and has some vicious facial features, strangers always regard him as a bad guy. He wants people to know that looking vicious does not mean that he is vicious inside.
His favorite saying is: There is a tiger in the heart that smells the roses.
After participating in the selection, he was still wary of people around him and was even exposed online.
"This is the face of a villain. It is recommended to withdraw from the competition."
"It's not your fault that you look fierce, it's your fault that you come out to scare people."
"I set up a selection committee to investigate him carefully and seriously suspect that Bess is a spy sent by the villain."
"What I said upstairs is wrong. He is so fierce. He can be seen at a glance. Even spies won't want him. Spies are looking for those inconspicuous people so that they can deceive others. He should be in jail if he is so fierce.
Live."
"Haha, it's true. Every time Bass comes out, I feel like I'm watching a prison drama."
…
Because Bess looks so fierce, he doesn't have to speak or put on makeup to be a villain. If he fights at the bank door, the security will call the police. This is not an exaggeration, he really looks like a bad guy.
Faced with everyone's discrimination, Bess did not waver. He really wanted to be a hero. But after all, he is just an ordinary person, and he will still be disappointed when encountering this kind of prejudice. He thinks why do people in the world like to judge people by their appearance so much? Appearance is not the case.
He decided.
There is a historical reason for judging people by their appearance. In ancient times, it was facial recognition that was used to select talents. Face recognition has been around for a long time, and there are even systematic books to help people profile. Nobles communicated and selected talents based on faces.
.After all, in ancient times, there were no resumes or test scores. We only looked at faces.
This habit has also spread to modern times, and looking at faces is still the first way for ordinary people to get to know strangers.
However, face is really not something he can decide, so Bess felt very uncomfortable. During the selection, he was also a little distracted. He couldn't help but doubt whether he could really prove himself. After all, his personal ability was compared with the prejudices of the world.
, the difference is too big and cannot be compared at all.
Can your own efforts change the world’s prejudices?
Of course it can't be changed, at least not completely, but it's still possible to change some.
Because there are reasons for the prejudices of the world, and judging people by their appearance is indeed the most convenient and fastest way to face strangers. Just like human beings cannot replace religion at present, because religion has its social functions.
Some things exist and have a function. If you want to eliminate them, you need to replace their functions with a better way. If you can't do that, you can't eliminate them.
There is no point in rejecting it blindly, because this is a very realistic thing.
When you encounter something you hate, you must first think about why it exists. Understand the basic logic of existence, and then think of ways to develop better methods to replace it. This completes a historical progress.
Is it good to judge people by their appearance? It's definitely not good, but is there any more efficient and appropriate way for people to distinguish strangers? Judging people by their appearance is definitely the fastest. If mind-reading technology is developed in the future, it may be able to replace judging people by their appearance.
In fact, everyone knows that many backward things are not good, but the problem is that there is no better way to replace them, so everyone can only accept this historically tested solution. It is not good, but it can be used.
Bess was a little disappointed. Of course, the Hero Selection Committee would not discriminate against him. Finding that he was in a low mood, Duran specifically asked about the situation.
Beth didn't hide anything and said: "I read the comments on the Internet and felt that I couldn't be a hero. I look too vicious. Maybe I can become a villain."
"Are you looking down on villains? You can become a villain if you look fierce. It's just your prejudice. Come, look at these photos and see if these people look like bad guys?" Dulan has a large number of real photos of villains in his hands.
There are very few people who can be identified as villains at a glance. Most villains look very ordinary, and some are even very handsome. Not only are villains not evil, but they are also somewhat pleasing to the eye.
"Do you know why many villains dress up in strange clothes? It's because they look very ordinary and need to use war makeup, masks and other props to show their ferocity. So it's just everyone's prejudice that someone who looks fierce can be a villain. The same goes for being fierce.
Not being able to be a hero is also a prejudice. What you have to do in the face of prejudice is to strengthen yourself. When you really become a hero, someone will naturally help you debate the scriptures," Dulan said.
"If I become a hero, naturally someone will help me debate scriptures?" Bess has always been discriminated against. He has never thought about how people will view him if he has achievements. People will think that his fierce appearance is also an advantage.
Duran patted Bess on the shoulder and said: "Now that you have a chance to prove yourself, don't hesitate. Don't argue with them. After you succeed, someone will help you debate."
Bess nodded, feeling that it made sense and there was really no need to be discouraged: "Thank you."
Dulan thought to himself that he had to manage the black-robed picket team, provide psychological counseling to the contestants, and compete commercially with the Watt Company. It was really fulfilling.
If you look fierce, you will be criticized by the Internet. If you are beautiful, you will be criticized by the Internet.
For example, the most beautiful female contestant among the contestants this time, Hai Lian. She could have become a national beauty pageant champion, but because of her beauty, she was criticized by the Internet and was discriminated against.
"To be so beautiful, I must have passed the competition through unspoken rules."
"It's not fair to other players. She is so beautiful and must be given preferential treatment. If she is so beautiful, she should rely on her face to make a living. Why should she participate in the hero selection competition? Are she going to give others a way to survive?"
"It's useless to say anything. This kind of beautiful girl has received all kinds of preferential treatment since she was a child. She has long been accustomed to it, and she won't feel that she has received special treatment at all. In reality, when meeting such a beautiful person, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl,
Stay away. Otherwise you will definitely be pissed off."
Outsiders think that if they are beautiful, they must receive preferential treatment, but beautiful people themselves do not notice it because they are used to it.
Du Lan said that being ugly is not enough, and being beautiful is not enough. As expected, one has to be average in order to stay away from right and wrong.
Hai Lian didn't feel that she couldn't be a hero. After all, netizens suspected that she was receiving preferential treatment, but they didn't suspect that her face didn't match the temperament of a hero.
She didn't feel that she was being treated because the judge was Dinisha who was even prettier than her.
"In front of Dinisha, I am not a beauty at all." Hailian said that she is just a little prettier than ordinary people and has no advantage in the selection, so there is no psychological burden. No matter what netizens say, it is just a rumor.
"Are these bastards protected by superheroes?" Merv, another contestant, felt that these guys were not worth protecting at all. They only spread rumors and judged people based on their appearance. They were simply ugly and not worth protecting.
Not only did he not want to protect them, he even wanted to kill them.
The best ideal state of a superhero is to protect kind and gentle people, but in practice it not only protects good people but also bad people, which creates a contradiction between ideal and practice.
Ideals are beautiful, but practices are realistic. Merv feels that he should stick to his ideals instead of compromising on practice.
But if you only have ideals and cannot practice them, you are doomed. This is the case with Mohism. It is wonderful to have universal love but not aggression, but it is cruel in practice.
An ideal is an ideal, and practice is a practice. Once practiced, Buddhism will split into different factions, and various philosophical thoughts will have differences.
Because philosophical thought is summarized in the most ideal state, once it is put into practice, various problems will be encountered. Compromise and non-compromise will be divided, and then compromise will be divided into complete compromise and incomplete compromise, which will still be divided...
Therefore, it is most perfect for philosophical thoughts to remain on paper forever. Once put into practice, they will fall apart. Confucianism is divided into eight parts, Mohism is divided into three parts, Buddhism is divided into ten sects, and monotheism is also divided into many. Philosophy that is not divided is that which has not been practiced, or even
Sharing can also be divided into social sharing and scientific sharing.
