Lillian's Melaleuca routine

"You look like a tyrant," he said.

"Are my actions so cruel?" Aya was puzzled. "According to the current ruler's methods, it's nothing more than a half-baked joke. Isn't it difficult for people to make a choice between freedom and happiness?" It is impossible to have the best of both worlds. As Bacon said, knowledge is power, and a powerful society has always existed. I don’t think I’m extreme. At least my people will not be sent to the slaughterhouse to be slaughtered. Besides, I have already solved it. Shouldn't they be grateful to me for their most basic food and clothing problem? And I just need them to pay a small price. Guess, would they be willing to become pigs for me?"

"As things stand right now, that's really the best option for most people."

But their approach was much gentler than Aya's.

Fyodor didn't want to argue with Aya, so he just chimed in.

"But what you said is not quite right. It's not that you willingly become a pig, but that you were transformed into a pig by society."

"Is not it good?"

"For me, this is intolerable," Fyodor said.

Aya said with an indifferent attitude: "That's because you didn't live in that environment, and the society you live in is fairly free. If everyone is a pig, then they don't have the self-consciousness to be a human, and they will be proud of pigs instead." Woolen cloth."

"If this is the case, it would be better if there is no society." Fyodor said, "People who have been prescribed a prescribed life trajectory and always live on the chessboard can only live in the approval of the ruler forever, with no way out. Isn't that pitiful? By changing life, people can be resurrected again. Sometimes, the pain of repeating an action is worse than death. From the perspective of the progress of history, a life that is always between fighting and recuperating can bring Come and take a leap. I can sometimes see a scene where live fish living in closed lakes are happier than dead fish living in the sea? It can be seen that for the public, repetition is death.”

"Of course I wouldn't choose to live this kind of life." Aya said, "Listen, Fei Jia, you don't have to have this idea."

"Are you talking too much? I think you are serious." Fyodor mocked.

"This is the best solution!" Aya quibbled, "People can't choose which era they were born in, can they? I only need mediocre people. For all human beings born in that era, it is not easy to act according to my will." Okay? It’s because you haven’t realized the happiness that doesn’t require thinking.”

"How do you know?" Fyodor said, "the world is still open, there is no best solution, only feasible assumptions. According to the current system, there is no way out just relying on the rule of capital. Lilian, you Overestimated human greed."

He denied her, but did not say why.

"You are not so convincing, Fei Jia, that your political ambitions are too far away from the human world. The intertwining of modern systems has also proved that the world order has stayed in place according to a Mobius ring throughout the ages. For me, It is almost impossible to advocate a unified morality. Regardless of whether there are supernatural beings or not, then it is necessary for capital to control the country. You don’t have to take it seriously, and it’s okay to listen to what I said as nonsense. Now, let’s come to Tell me about your second problem."

"Lilian, you have to figure it out. I haven't thought about the answer from this question, so I raised a question." Fyodor said, "If the rule can't bring it, then how can it bring people a way out?"

"So you want to practice it?"

Their eyes suddenly met, and Aya gave a sly smile.

"Make a plan, then try it out, experiment with your proposed answer."

"It's still a little early to say."

"Honey, I only want you to answer whether you want to or not."

"If a scientist has the opportunity to test it himself, then his answer is a must. You can imagine how they bargain when they ask for funding..."

Fyodor thought about him.

"So your answer is?" Ling continued to ask.

"Yes," Fyodor said.

He actually felt a little helpless.

"Finally, I got the answer I wanted, whether it's true or false. My dear, you are very frank." Aya clapped her hands lightly, and the clapping was especially crisp and melodious in the silent night, "Then And your second problem, Fedya."

"It's the aspect of the question of faith."

"Can you explain in detail? There are so many things to talk about about faith." Aya tilted her head to express her curiosity, "Why were we born in this world? When I was young, I often thought about this question." .I questioned the people who prayed in the church, and they told me that they came for God. And when I asked some young students, they told me that they came for happiness, and some different people gave me different answers , There are also those who come for money and power, just like their lives exist for different purposes. In any case, these different motivation factors constitute the reason for everyone to live."

"What do you want to say?" Aya asked.

"I think faith is a driving force and a motivator."

"Then, let's continue." Ling's curiosity was aroused.

This is indeed a very fresh statement, but she failed to understand what he was going to say next.

"Now back to the definition of God."

There seemed to be a blueprint in front of them, with different factors marked with colored crayons, starting from the person at the center, all kinds of people scattered around.In an instant, all these factors are wiped away, and only God remains.

"It is generally believed that God is a perfect existence. Although there are different opinions on the definition of God, God must be perfect."

"Why?" Aya didn't quite agree, "You mentioned it before, didn't you? Using the words of the little girl named Maria, it is better to say that believers are talking to people than believers talking to God. That being the case, God is not perfect because it is a fiction in some people's eyes."

"Lillian." Fyodor looked at her fixedly and said, "Assuming God exists, then as the creator, he should be perfect, because he created human beings with good intentions. Bringing the gospel, and at the same time, bringing disasters to people is also an experience for people. On the other hand, if God does not exist, then He must be perfect. Because God only exists in the illusion of people, as a An all-knowing, all-powerful character.”

"You are right, Fedya, then assume that God is perfect. So, following your assumption and these two arguments, what conclusion can you draw?"

"We have discovered the existence of a dynamic factor, which is the basic source of support for human life. Tracing its dynamic factor is like finding the source of a tidal ocean. So, can we find a perfect term to summarize all dynamic factors ..."

"Stop, stop, Fedya." Aya felt a little dizzy, she was confused, so she interrupted Fyodor rudely and demanded, "Honey, can you speak briefly? You're really blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."

Fyodor glanced back at Aya, and resumed his high-spirited talk tonight.

It's hard to imagine that he talked so much tonight. Although he is not a person who is not good at words, he is not a person who talks eloquently at any time.

The night was already very deep, the moon climbed up to the tip, and there was a faint light through the windows on the first floor. The lights in the room were not turned on, and the layout in the room was like a polished lead-colored halo.

"In the views about human beings, there are always contradictory points. But what we can be sure of is that people always have faith in this world. A person who regards money as his own life, we can say that he They live in this world for money."

"What does this have to do with your God?" Aya asked.

"Wealth is a motivational factor. People all over the world have various and tens of thousands of motivational factors. Now, integrate these different factors and find a common ground." Fyodor Said, "We call this dynamic cause God."

Aya didn't speak for a long time, she was thinking.

Fyodor went on to add: "'God' is the reason for the birth of the universe. He created human beings and is the leader of all human beings. He is not a specific and real role, but an explanation similar to spiritual symbols."

"Is this the God you believe in?"

Surprised, Fyodor said no.

"God is necessary to build a country," he explained patiently, "because a country needs a common belief."

Aya thought about it.

"You mean, you need a common belief to gain the people's sense of identity? Not a bad idea."

"However..." Aya turned her head and looked narrowly at Fyodor, "That requires a country of human aggregates. However, in my opinion, this concept is too abstract. Let the people realize It is believed that they are moving toward unity under the guidance of God. But in fact, because the country was established by humans, humans are actually ruled by humans.”

"People live under the illusion of being ruled by God. But it cannot be denied that rule brings a kind of stability and happiness, at least it avoids long-term wars."

Fyodor stared straight at the fireplace in front of him, the burning fire reflected deeply in his pupils, and some strange feelings seemed to arise in his heart.He was not calm, but worried.

Flames leaped and exploded in his heart, rose like vapor, compressed, cooled to ice, and froze into a great mass in his heart.The ice cracked and turned into flames.
