The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 2573 Robbery Law

"Then, what is the difference between the laws of this bandit group and the laws of a kind group?"

"Humans have the instinct to be afraid of snakes. Humans with high moral standards instinctively think that they are good people and punish criminals severely. So, what kind of people do the descendants of these sinful Vikings think they are?"

Fang Yun stopped and scanned the whole place.

Almost everyone knows the answer.

Fang Yun nodded and said: "Yes, they instinctively believe that they may commit crimes like their ancestors. So, this instinct is actually against morality, and they have broken away from the cruel and barbaric society and want to become People with high moral standards don't want to violate morality, so how can they protect themselves morally? I won't say it directly, you can think about it and discuss it with each other."

Everyone immediately started talking, and the whole venue suddenly became noisy and chaotic.

Some people even got into arguments because of different opinions.

However, some Legalists said nothing and watched with cold eyes, making no secret of their resistance.

After a long time, Fang Yun signaled, and everyone quickly stopped the discussion.

Fang Yun smiled and said: "They used many methods. Let me give you a few examples. First, they put a bucket of shit on all human beings, preaching that everyone is guilty, and everyone is born with sin. They believe that people in this life, It is the process of atonement. Look, they insist that everyone is the same, so they can face it calmly. It is not their fault, nor the fault of their ancestors, but the fault of the whole human race. If you don't listen to what I said before, and you just heard that one ethnic group actually preaches that all people are guilty and carry original sin, then they will protect themselves. It must be strange and incomprehensible because we Chinese people have never had the concept of original sin, because we think that we are either good or blank before we are born.”

However, some Xun family members looked embarrassed, and the Meng family members suddenly showed weird smiles.

The debate between evil nature and good nature has always existed.

Fang Yun had expected this kind of thing and said: "I want to emphasize it and hope that everyone will not misunderstand Xun Sheng's theory of evil nature. Xun Sheng's evil nature does not mean that people are born with evil, but the bandit group, Xun Sheng believes that people are born with evil and sin. Evil nature does not mean that people have to do bad things, but it means that people are self-interested by nature. Once they are self-interested, they may harm others. In Xun Sheng's view, this kind of behavior has a tendency to become evil, not to mention that we are more likely to do evil. Most Chinese people believe that nature is inherently good.”

The faces of the Xun family became better, and the Meng family also restrained themselves a little. Although the two families had a dispute over the Holy Way, Fang Yun was right. That was what Xun Sheng meant, which was far from the theory of original sin.

However, the Meng family is still very proud. Although everyone knows that good nature still dominates the Shengyuan Continent, but hearing it from Fang Yun's mouth is of great significance.

Fang Yun continued: "In addition to promoting original sin, they also did the second thing. Since they do not admit that they have criminal blood and only original sin, they understand in their hearts that they are morally low, they are potential criminals, and they are potential criminals. Bad guys, what should we do? They can't make laws for this, and they can't take the initiative to ask for a sentence, so they invented a power that is far beyond human beings and let that transcendent power solve this problem. With the help of gods created by ancestors , constantly changing the intention of the gods to forgive their crimes. However, sometimes they are too perfunctory and just pour some water on their bodies, even if the sins in their blood are washed away, it stands to reason that they are a little sensible. People all over the world would doubt this kind of thing, but they don’t doubt it. Why? Again, their instinct is to protect themselves, so that they believe in this falsehood that can be seen through at a glance. In other words, they let God guarantee that they are good. Yes, let the gods wipe their butts!”

Many readers are extremely surprised and even find it ridiculous. They cannot imagine that such a group exists.

"They also have a third method, that is, unlike us Chinese people who prefer fairness, they pay more attention to personal freedom. Think about it, if they emphasize fairness, then their behavior and their instincts are actually Anything that violates fairness is harmful to fairness. But if you prefer personal freedom, with less restraints and less moral restraints, then you can do whatever you want, even if you do something you shouldn't do, you can still use your freedom. to cover up.”

"They also have a fourth method, which is to forcefully promote their ideas and make everyone become like them. How to promote it? First determine a good concept system that is universally applicable and non-controversial. Concepts and customs, such as equality for all, fairness and justice, in short, all kinds of good Concepts. Then, they use their own power to occupy the right to interpret this universal concept, and thus they gain the right to formulate moral standards, which are right, moral and just as their concepts. , if it is different from their concept, it is wrong, immoral and unjust!”

"The fifth method is to recognize a good father. Whether it is the Vikings or the Austrians, their ancestors were barbaric robbers for a long period of time. However, they can't always publicize that their ancestors were robbers, so what should they do? Find a spiritual ancestor who is morally flawless! So, they spread everywhere that they inherited the various cultural civilizations and knowledge of ancient Greece and Rome, and even forged them. In short, they tried their best to make themselves the heirs of ancient civilizations. But in fact, in the records of ancient Greece and Rome, the ancestors of the robber tribes were just barbarians who were not presentable."

"If we think about it carefully, we will understand that if the robber tribes are really confident, if they really don't think their blood is sinful, why do they have to cling to the civilization of foreign races?"

"I won't list all these things one by one. In short, this is just their moral protection, so they should not only protect morally, but also protect their own people. They also need to protect themselves in real life, so what should they do? Naturally, they should make laws that are beneficial to themselves. "

"What are the characteristics of these bandit tribes?"

"Compared with sympathizing with the victims, they are more sympathetic to the violent murderers."

"Compared with seeking justice for the victims, they are more inclined to try to reduce the punishment of the murderers."

"Compared with publicizing the pain of the victims and their relatives and friends, they are more inclined to promote forgiveness of the murderers, and are more inclined to shirk the responsibility of the murderers, and let the whole society or the whole human race take responsibility. Does this sound like the original sin mentioned earlier?"

"Such a society will inevitably breed a lot of problems, but because they have sinful blood flowing, because of selfishness, and because they instinctively protect themselves, they must do this. "

"So, I call the laws they make bandit laws."

Many scholars heard this statement for the first time and felt refreshed.
