Chapter 1071: freedom of choice

After teasing everyone, Lin drank the tea in his cup in one gulp. Holding the cup in his hand, he held it up in front of everyone and asked, "What is this? Can anyone answer me?"

Although it was an obvious stupid question, the children still seemed to be enjoying it, and enthusiastically raised their hands and answered: "That's a mug." "It's a cup." "It's a big teacup."…

The wall of the cup is thick, and the design with ears for holding it is exactly a kind of cup that Lin saw everywhere before time travel——a mug. This thing is very popular once it is launched because of its cheap production cost—that is, it is made of clay—and it won’t burn your hands when it is filled with hot drinks, and it can be produced industrially, so the price is low.

There are many answers, and it is not a problem to refer to something in someone's hand. But Lin vetoed it, and at the same time threw the cup on the ground, breaking it into pieces, saying: "No, this is not a cup, it's just a piece of debris."

Looking at the stunned crowd, Lin showed a complacent expression, and pointed to the fragments on the ground and asked, "What is this? Can anyone answer?"

This time it was not as enthusiastic as before. There were only a few children who were not very confident and said cautiously: "Is this a fragment?" "A fragment of a teacup?"...

"No!" There was another sonorous and forceful veto, and Lin cast a spell to crush the fragments on the ground into ashes, saying, "It's just a field of dust, there are no fragments."

Unlike other children vying to express themselves, Ezio said at this time: "Sir, according to your practice, we will never be able to answer the correct answer."

"Hey, not bad. You understand the meaning of the first half of my sentence now." Lin praised.

"Is nothing... true?"

"In your eyes, what is true?" Lin asked, scanning the various expressions of the crowd. He continued: "In my cognition, the so-called 'truth' should be something that is permanent and unchanging. No matter when, from what standpoint or angle you look at it, it is also unchanging. But Is there such a thing in the world? The reason why a cup is a cup is because we have shaped such a shape and endowed it with a function, so it can be called a cup. But no matter whether it destroys its shape or discards its function, there is always a cup May no longer be called a cup."

Regardless of whether they understood it or not, adults or children, they all looked at the remains of the cup that had been crushed into dust by magic on the ground, and thought about it seriously. Lin continued:

"Around you, is there anything that is not like this? Let's not talk about these physical things, just talk about the relationship between us. I provide you with food and lodging, in exchange for you serving me for ten years in the future. This It was something that was agreed when you got my shelter. But will this matter never change? Maybe one day I wake up, my toes touch the bed cabinet, my hair is split, I'm choking on my breath, in short, I'm in a bad mood. Maybe I'll just decide, I don't want the services you can provide in the future, so I overturn the previous agreement and drive you all back to the street. You have the ability to stop Or change the thing? Maybe, maybe not."

There are those timid children, although they can hear the lack of seriousness in the words, some of these children still ask: "My lord, are you going to abandon us? I can do many things. If ten years is not enough, I will I would also like to extend the time."

"You're thinking too much, kid. I'm just talking about a possibility. But, that's the second part of my sentence—anything goes. The cup is in my hand, and I can choose to hold it well and let it go. It can perform the function of a cup. It can also be thrown to the ground, so that the cup is no longer a cup. I take you in. In the future, I may send you to do things to die, or I may not care about you at all, and let you just be so lazy Of course I can drive you away now, but I will have no one in the future. There is nothing to limit what I can't do, at best, after I make a choice, things will be different The result. This result may be good, or it may be bad. But at the moment of making a choice, I am free without any restrictions. The same is true for you, and no one can take away this freedom.”

"But we are restricted by you, we can't do this, and we can't do that. Isn't that the case." Ezio said dissatisfied.

"No, that's not a restriction. It's just that you have the right to choose freely, and of course I have the same right. When you make a decision, I will also make a corresponding choice based on your decision. If it is Things that make me unhappy, of course I will make you as unhappy as I am; if the matter has nothing to do with me, I will not be nosy. All this is not restricted by anyone. It is anyone's free choice, which will be associated with It affects other people's choices and creates different consequences. Whether you are willing to swallow such consequences is the reason for restricting choices."

Lin finished explaining once, but seeing the blank expressions of the children, he thought for a while, and could only continue: "It's like playing chess. I make a move, hoping to capture the opponent's piece. But the opponent will definitely do it too." There are corresponding means, instead of letting me eat chess pieces. It is impossible to expect that the opponent is an idiot, allowing me to advance step by step and eat one piece after another. Therefore, the half sentence of "anything is possible" does not Not only does it explain the freedom you have, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com also includes the freedom of others to choose. However, the development of things is not completely as I imagined, because 'nothing is true'."

"What about kindness, sir." The head of the child, Luo Wen, raised his hand and asked, "Isn't kindness part of the truth?"

"When you see an eagle hunt a rabbit and you save that rabbit, do you think it's kind?" Lin asked rhetorically.

"Yes, of course. We saved the rabbit's life. Aren't we kind?"

"But the eagle will starve to death because there is no rabbit to eat. You showed the so-called kindness. When you saved a rabbit, you also killed the eagle. Is this kind? Say, the eagle deserves to die, and the rabbit deserves to be rescued?"

After thinking for a while, Luo Wen said, "We can save the rabbit while we feed the eagle with meat. That would save two lives."

"Where did the meat come from? Which animal did you kill and feed the eagle with its meat?" Lin continued to ask.

This time Luo Wen was overwhelmed by the question. However, looking at the other children, some of them showed cunning eyes, and some fallacies might come up. Lin didn't intend to break up with them, and said directly: "There is no kindness without cost, and there is no evil without reason. What I tell you is beyond goodness and evil, and it is also the reason why human beings are different from beasts. The most important thing—thinking. Because nothing is true and everything can be done, you need to live with vigilance and fear. Every choice you make should be carefully made as if you were walking on thin ice. Because you Every action of your life will be transformed into a result and fed back to yourself. The difference is, is that what you want? If not, how do you change it?"
