Chapter 1719 Even being a saint is difficult
Someone always said in the past: People will always choose to turn a blind eye to things that have no immediate interest in themselves.
That’s why things like this happened: when they killed the Communists, I didn’t say anything because I was not a Communist; later when they killed the Jews, I didn’t say anything because I was not a Jew; and then what happened next They killed Catholics and I remained silent because I was not a Catholic; finally, when they started talking to me, there was no one left to speak for me…
The attitude has changed from having nothing to do with one's own vital interests to having to do with one's own vital interests. If the police had not pointed the gun at the speaker in the end, I am afraid they would not have been able to say the above words.
If the last thing had not happened, it would have been like this: when they arrested black people, I did not say anything because I was not black; when they arrested Mexicans, I did not say anything because I was not Mexican; When they arrested MSL, I kept silent because I was not an MSL; in the end, when the security issue was resolved, they no longer arrested people.
Because it had nothing to do with my immediate interests, not only did I remain silent, I actually applauded.
The situation in this country now seems to be the second one. Even if the person arrested is their daughter, they still think that Norma is only a minority, only in this age group, and will not expand. Once you’ve caught it, there’s no need to catch it again.
Because rumors say that the low point in magic sixteen years ago caused these situations, these situations can be controlled, even if all the girls around the age of sixteen in the country are arrested. After catching it, you can solve the problem.
Most people hold such naive ideas, so they are still unwilling to recognize their mistakes and would rather continue to make mistakes again and again.
Without reflection, everything Duran does will be meaningless.
"But you can't reflect for the sake of reflecting," Duran said. Although Embrio is a scumbag, he did do a lot of practical work and found some problems.
And these problems have been discovered in other worlds as well.
The current situation in the Empire is actually very similar to that of The Matrix. In The Matrix, the mother body gave preferential treatment to human thoughts in the beginning. It can be said that everyone is a rich man and everyone is a little genius, but this way it is carefree. As time goes by, many people will doubt the authenticity of the mother body, and the mother body will collapse. After that, the matrix began to treat human thoughts differently and arranged different identities. In this way, no one doubted it, and the matrix became stable.
The same goes for this country. At first, before Norma appeared, everyone was a magician but still could not achieve eternal peace. It was not until Norma appeared that everyone had an outlet and the country became stable.
So even if Duran's plan succeeds and the people really reflect on it, what kind of life will they get? Is it better or worse than before?
For the people, they don't care whether it is correct or not. They only care about whether their lives can be better, but good or bad is relative.
This has to be said about happiness. Happiness can only be obtained through comparison. It is also human nature to feel happy when comparing people who are not as good as oneself, and to feel shame or jealousy when comparing people who are worse than oneself.
Without this profit-seeking nature, mankind might not have developed so well. Perhaps some people do not base their happiness on the misfortunes of others, but on the expression of their own self-worth. Their own achievements are enough to make themselves happy. But for all living beings, happiness mostly comes from comparison.
If you live better than your neighbors, you will be happy; if you live better than foreigners, you will be happy; if you live better than foreigners, you will be happy; if you live better than aliens, you will be happier.
Generations of great men have worked hard to make the people's thinking more ideal, hoping that everyone can work together, but not to be better than others. However, this ideal value will basically fail in a short period of time, and then everything will return to the original track.
Dulan suddenly found that he had also fallen into this cycle. The people's behavior of discriminating against Norma was indeed despicable and bad, and Dulan wanted to reverse it. But how far can it be reversed? It is definitely impossible to make the people noble. Even the saints can't do it, let alone Duran.
All I can say is not to let them just stare at Norma and bully her, but in the future they will compare each other.
This is a problem, Dulan is thinking: "Since happiness is obtained through comparison, it has no direct relationship with material levels. If everyone is poor, then happiness will not be lost."
Everyone is poor, but some people are not only poor but also sick, then the healthy poor are happy. And without comparison with the rich, the happiness of the poor will not decrease.
If material is too abundant, people will doubt the world because they have no sense of happiness. Therefore, material life cannot be too full and everyone cannot be carefree, otherwise human beings will not progress.
Human beings pursue what they cannot get, just like a carrot in front of a donkey. The donkey keeps moving forward if it wants to eat it. The carrot moves forward as much as it moves. If one day the donkey really eats a carrot, then the donkey will have no motivation to move forward.
Of course, besides turning everyone into poor people, there is another way, which is to increase the upper limit of material resources.
Now the citizens of the imperial kingdom live a life of eating and drinking and occasionally having fun. There is only so much land behind the flood. Even the food and clothing of the nobles in the palace are not luxurious. The earth is submerged in water. Even if there is high technology, the life is still there. That's it.
Magic can't help them catch the stars and the moon, nor can it let them go to the ocean to catch turtles. The upper limit of magic is here. It can make life easier at most, but people are still mortals.
So if Duran raises the upper limit, it will also free them from the despicable happiness of despising Norma and find a better happiness.
Even Duran has not found a better solution in the long years. One is to make everyone poor, and the other is to give everyone new goals to pursue.
Embrio's problem is actually that he is too small. Rather than wanting to bring peace to mankind, it is better to say that he just wants to be the king of the harem. He simply does not have the ability to take humans to a higher position.
Duran can do it, but it depends on the performance of the people. If they can reflect in time, he doesn't mind letting them see the vastness of the universe. If they are still stubborn, then everyone will be poor together. Anyway, there are two ways to deal with it. Happiness will not be lost.
Of course, Duran wanted to tell the consultant Emma about this, and let her know what the problems facing mankind now are, not Norma, but their future.
I'm afraid they haven't planned for the future for a long time, but this time they have to think about it carefully.
Emma knew that this was God's decision, but she felt that no one would change it so easily, and no one would believe her just relying on her words. So she made a phone call to her father, who had always been able to wisely guide her in the way forward. Emma now urgently needed his father's advice.
