[Count of Monte Cristo] Love and hatred

r071

On the Maiden Amelie, the sailors slept like a giant pigeon coop.But there was not even a breath of wind this night, which made Mei Tess feel sleepless.

When she quietly walked to the deck, she unexpectedly saw the captain.At this time, the captain was leaning on the mast, looking up at the deep sky.She didn't want to disturb him, but his back looked too lonely.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Mei Tess still took a step.

The captain turned his head, but there was a look in his eyes that she had never seen before.But when their eyes met, he avoided her gaze again.

"Are you looking at the stars?" asked Mei Tess.

The captain nodded, but said nothing.

"I also like to look up at the starry sky." Mei Tess pondered for a while, "A philosopher once said that there are two things, the more deeply and persistently we think about them, the wonder they evoke in my mind and The awe will change and grow day by day, and this is the starry sky above my head and the moral law in my heart."

"Imanuel Kant," the captain answered immediately.

Mei Tess was slightly surprised, then nodded approvingly, "Kant is a great philosopher. Have you read his works?"

"Well, my mentor taught me a lot," the captain spread his hands, "but my mentor once told me that philosophy cannot be learned, it is a synthesis of science, and it is obtained by geniuses who can make good use of science It is the five-colored cloud that Christ ascended to heaven under his feet."

"What he said made a lot of sense. Philosophy is between science and theology." Melissa added, "I have read several philosophy books, but after a major turning point in my life, I just Really started to think about who I am and what the meaning of life is.”

Traveling through time for 200 years, Mei Tess doesn't know if there is anyone else in this world who has such a wonderful experience besides herself.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she came to Marseille in the early nineteenth century, and everything she experienced in her era disappeared without a trace.And the moment she saw the strange face in the mirror, her entire worldview was overturned.

Since then, she has been trying to find her true self and the meaning of coming here, but she has no answer so far.This made her doubt, and it was in these doubts that she really began to think about the most basic questions of philosophy.

who am I?

where am i from?

Where are you going?

"Looking back, I found out that these issues were discussed by the ancient Greek philosophers Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle more than 2000 years ago," Meiser Tess said with a smile. the door of philosophy."

"I used to never think about these problems. My life was like a lonely boat drifting in the vast sea, until my mentor lit the light of wisdom for me." The captain held hands, and Mei Se Tess' dialogue aroused his thinking about life in Chateau d'If.

"Sometimes I think, since we only have one life and it's so short, why do we follow the rules? Why don't we follow our heart and do what we really want?"

"Because there are rules we cannot change," Mei Tess replied.

"Yes, such as the irreversibility of time, these rules that exist in the development and change of nature itself, in my opinion, may be the power of the so-called gods. And other rules are produced in the development of human society, such as the one you just mentioned Morality...God limited human power, but gave us endless *, and when a person's * drives him to break these rules, this world produces evil. However, many times, our rules are difficult to restrain those evil people , including the law with coercive force, it will also be used by some evil people with brains to do bad things. So the evil people do what they want, and the good people are oppressed." The captain sighed slightly, "Mel, if you You are the one being persecuted, what would you do?"

"I will choose revenge!" Mei Tess replied without hesitation.

"But how to get revenge?" the captain asked back.

Mei Tess subconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword at her waist. When they were in the Dark Star, they used the Sword of Revenge to judge the so-called villains, although she always doubted the legitimacy of doing so.

"Kill them?" The captain shook his head gently, "This is the simplest, most brutal and effective way. In my life, I was persecuted once, and what I wanted to do most at that time was to use the most cruel means torment the enemy to death."

At that moment, Mei Tess suddenly thought of Governor Ali who was massacred for revenge, but she couldn't see Ali's cruelty on the captain's face.

"But after going through so much, I don't think so anymore," the captain continued, "Mel, if there is a person who can use the rules to let the fire of those wicked people finally burn himself to death, or peel off those guilty veil, and exposed their crimes to the broad daylight. Can we say that that person punished them by the hand of God? Wouldn’t that be more holy and righteous?”

Mei Tess's pupils suddenly dilated. At this moment, she felt as if Edmund had heard Father Faria's wise words in prison, lighting up the new world instantly like a shooting star.

"Only when this method can't punish them, we should pick up the sword of revenge and have a duel with them." The captain looked at the deep sky, "I believe that at that time, the gods were also on the side of justice of."

Plum Tess nodded.

It seemed that they all felt that the conversation just now was too depressing and serious, so they kept silent.

Until a gust of wind broke the silence.Mei Tess felt a chill on the back of her neck. She raised her head and found that the sail was bulging and fluctuating again, and the sail rope was beating back and forth, like a rhythmic drumbeat.

The girl Amelie started to move forward again, but it was not the direction they were going.

"Need me to wake the helmsman?" asked Mei Tess.

The captain was silent for two seconds.It seems that this conversation somewhat vented the depression in his heart, and it seemed that he finally found a confidant, and he didn't want to break the situation of being alone, "Let him rest, the two of us can do it. You will take the helm ?"

"Won't..."

"I'll teach you," said the captain in a low, magnetic voice.
