Chapter 354 Life Spring
At last, Fu Liaoyi grasped his hair with both hands and said in distress, "Whenever I think about how easily human dignity can be defeated by external things, I feel powerless. It's as if human dignity is thrown directly onto the ground, to be trampled on at will by material things."
The air fell silent, and Xiao Ai listened quietly.
In her view, these troubles were one of the root causes of the perpetual cycles in human society.
After pondering for a moment, Wang Hao said, "You are mistaken, Mr. Fu, human nature is called human nature because it is supposed to be easily defeated."
"If it were not easily defeated, it would be elevated to divinity. In fact, there is not so much divinity; that is the quality of a Saint, so don't see yourself as too noble."
"A good society is one that avoids testing human nature as much as possible. Take that young lady Qiqi, for example, how to reduce their occurrence is the proper way to think about it, not just criticizing and blaming them for moral decay, which is not helpful in resolving the issue, is it?"
When it came to discussing the matter of young Qiqi, Xiao Ai sensitively noticed that Captain seemed particularly energized!
The Black Flame swirling above his head danced excitedly.
"Reincarnation's End" emitted an evil phrase, beginning to tempt human nature: "Put it on... Just wear the JK skirt and play a..."
Here we go again.
This High-Level Demon God is really strange!
As some extension of the Captain's thoughts, the Captain must be thinking about some vulgar things in his mind!
Xiao Ai felt more and more that Captain was unlike any previous captains.
She just wanted to roll her eyes, but as an honest and friendly artificial intelligence, she was not allowed to make impolite gestures, so she could only keep a straight face, saying nothing.
...
Fu Liaoyi lifted his head and looked at the shop owner.
Wang Hao said again, "Let's take a simple example, if you were a judge and your parents committed a crime, and you had to judge them, would you judge them more leniently?"
Fu Liaoyi didn't know how to answer; the choice was indeed difficult.
"What if it were a public trial in front of a large audience?"
"If there was a legal provision for relative recusal, preventing you from judging the case, how would it be then? You see, this is societal system progress, reducing the test of human nature."
Fu Liaoyi was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, vaguely understanding some things: "I don't know how to describe my current feelings, nor do I know what my desire is... Qiqi is much richer than me; my ex-girlfriend has found a wealthy man and no longer needs me to save her. I don't know what I can do..."
Wang Hao smiled and nodded, saying, "I see, I almost understand your trouble now."
"The main root of your trouble is still because the real existence of the world has deviated from your own cognition."
"You were born in a small place, living a very ordinary life; even though not too wealthy, you at least had no worries about food and clothing, and your parents loved each other. Well, most of the world's population is well protected, the days have been peaceful for so long that people have generally become somewhat naive; this is what is called the 'liberal left' mindset."
Fu Liaoyi fell silent, his gaze fixed on the empty ceiling.
Old Wang spoke again: "You need to know that the cruelty of the upper layer and the cruelty of the lower layer are different."
"The things the lower layers compete for are often insignificant; to the upper or middle layers, it seems trivial—fighting over a crumb, why would you bash each other's brains out? For a piece of clothing, why would you be so sad about it? Even if you gave it up, what then?"
"But the cruelty of the upper layers is different from that of the lower layers; the stakes are very high, possibly tens or hundreds of billions in funds, or the lives of hundreds of thousands or millions of people."
"In the eyes of the middle or lower layers, these upper layers do not worry about food or clothing, so why not step back, why be as greedy as a glutton, demanding more? But in reality, the upper layer only looks at the big picture and often overlooks the ants at their feet."
"That is why it is difficult for both sides to understand each other."
Wang Hao gently tapped the table, and the Crystal Ball transformed into a globe; he manipulated the image of the Earth.
"Do you know what the source of power is in the high echelons of the Earth World? It is his subordinates; a person can only manage his subordinates. Only if his subordinates are willing to work for him can collective strength be produced; therefore, it is necessary to make his subordinates understand that working for him can bring benefits, whether those benefits be money, faith, or something else."
"At that time, he does not represent himself, but a group of people."
"His subordinates also need to make sure their subordinates gain benefits so that a task can be accomplished. In this way, like a pyramid, layer upon layer is stacked up, and thus what is called a 'benefit group' arises. True power needs a group of people to sustain it; they often have common interests; if not, the upper layers risk being hollowed out."
"That night, you were a real small figure from the lower layer: distressed because a girl you liked didn't like you back, you couldn't accept it, and it troubled you."
"But you are also part of the upper layer; the billionaire Hong Botao is your subordinate, and his power is your power. So, you could freely dispose of the beautiful and lovely girl, Qiqi."
"The fear in Qiqi wasn't from you, but from the latent power that Hong Botao brought you, do you understand?"
"Human joys and sorrows vary; the layers above and below are inherently difficult to comprehend. Precisely because, within one day, you moved from the lower layer to the upper layer, your values have been cleaved, collapsed, and become confused."
