Chapter 1347 Resistance to Implications Dialectics of Thought

After calling the names of more than a dozen people in a row, everyone looked like someone with a story. And their stories intersect and transform in Steve. From a possible direction of development to tragedy, it was transformed into a happy ending.

If such a thing happened in stories and movies, it should be taken for granted. But if these happened in reality, it would be hard to believe. Because everyone who lives in reality knows that reality is cruel and there is nothing you can do. You don't have any power to change reality, you can only adapt to the changes that reality makes to you. In this case, tragedy and peace are the end of most stories.

This is the reason why human beings are easily touched by tragedy. It is impossible for any one person's life to be as happy as in a fairy tale. Only after experiencing the bitterness can we empathize with the bitterness in the tragic story. Only when you have experienced pain will you be heart-piercing because of the pain of others. This is the power of emotion, but also the nature of human beings. And it is precisely because of this that the stories of these people are so precious.

It can be said that everything is because of Steve. His existence changed the lives of these people. And it is precisely because of this that everyone here who has been favored by him will worship him even more.

Maybe people who haven't experienced it won't understand. But those who have had this kind of experience will know that when you are sinking deeper and deeper in the most hopeless darkness, if someone reaches out to you, then you can really sacrifice everything and even dedicate yourself of life.

That's how these people feel about Steve right now. And that's exactly what Steve wanted to achieve. Although this purpose is not pure, but to be honest, Steve enjoys this process very much. Being able to help others and make a person live like a person is a great sense of accomplishment in itself.

While enjoying this kind of worship, he also really helped others feel a sense of accomplishment. Of course, at the same time, he was also carrying out his purpose in an orderly manner. Instilling his own ideas into these special groups of people, so that they have the same beliefs and beliefs as himself, this is what he needs to do, and it has already achieved certain results.

"Continue to our last topic. Last time we talked about the contents of the French literary masterpiece "Les Miserables". Some people risked their lives for their so-called freedom. At that time, I remember someone asked me why Do this. Is freedom really that important? Even if it is so important, is it really necessary to use the violent way of revolution to fight for it?"

"I didn't answer this question at the time. And it's hard for me to tell you the answer to this question now. Because the answer doesn't exist, everyone will have their own views on such things. But I know one thing, that is Most of you can't accept that. You think it's wrong. But I want to tell you that your thinking is the problem."

Knocking on the golden sword in his hand, Steve sat down cross-legged. Then he said very straightforwardly to the believers below. "Many of you are conditioned to suffer, conditioned to give in. As if by doing so your life will change. But in reality? Has your life changed? You got the life you wanted Is it? It seems not.”

"In contrast to you. The French, at the cost of sacrifice and revolution, got what they wanted. They overthrew their own emperor, time and time again. No matter how powerful force was used to suppress them, the final result It was always their revolution and their free will that won. They got what they wanted, even if it wasn't exactly what they wanted. But they got it, and you?"

Steve's religious gathering is actually more like a large seminar. He asked questions and let the believers below answer their own.

Then he made a comparison with his own answer, so that everyone present could see the difference in thinking.

Thoughts are like flint, they can spark when they collide with each other. And the great ideas of ancient and modern China and foreign countries are almost all produced in such fierce collisions. Steve didn't expect any great ideas from these low-level civilians who were accustomed to being ignorant, and that didn't meet his purpose. He just hopes that these people will learn to accept some different ideas. Something completely different from what has been instilled in them since birth.

This is his purpose, so he doesn't care about someone having a verbal confrontation with him in this situation. Of course, this was actually difficult at the beginning. Because civilians of low castes have long been accustomed to accepting the idea of ​​authority, they do not have the concept of confrontation and refutation in their minds. However, the situation changed when the first person tried it.

Thought cannot be blocked, even if it is wrapped tightly, it can always find a way out for itself. And here, people are gradually getting used to this special exchange of ideas, even turning it into a habit. Just like now, as soon as Steve finished speaking, someone straightened his body and retorted loudly at him.

"Holy one. We got what we wanted too, under the leadership of our Mahatma Gandhi."

"Non-violent non-cooperation mode?" Shaking his head, Steve looked directly into the speaker's eyes and asked him back. "Do you really think this is what you have fought for?"

There is no need for this person to answer, he has already stated his point of view.

"No, I think what you think of as fighting is nothing more than charity from others. And the Mahatma you worship is nothing more than a ridiculous joke after all."

As soon as this sentence was said, there was a little commotion in the crowd.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, also known as Mahatma Gandhi. Leader of the Indian National Liberation Movement and leader of the Indian National Congress Party. In India, he has a high status and is even called the father of India. And the reason for this is entirely because of the non-violent resistance he advocated. Many people believe that his peaceful, non-violent resistance was the key factor in leading the country towards independence from British colonial rule. India can have what it is today, and his efforts cannot be delayed.

So defaming Gandhi is actually no different from defaming India. No matter how dissatisfied these people here are with their country, they still have patriotism in their hearts. And it was for this reason that they became agitated after Steve said these words.

This is very rare. For these Indians who are used to listening to other people's words and respect Steve very much. This is also very dangerous, because once the words go too far, it is likely to have another idea of ​​​​Steve because of the ideological opposition.

But Steve didn't care about this situation, he just looked flat and said without hindrance.

"Non-violent non-cooperative resistance, is this resistance? Let someone else's sword fall on your body, let someone else's bullet penetrate your body, your brain. Let others look at your blood and corpse, and then because of the so-called Giving up their weapons because of their sympathy? This is not resistance, this is begging, it is begging. You have not taken hold of your own destiny at all, you have just handed over your own destiny to your enemies."

"In my opinion, the reason why India was able to become independent has very little to do with Gandhi. If it weren't for the decline of Britain after World War II, if it wasn't for the rise of human rights, the British began to be scruples about colonial practices. If it weren't for the fact that Britain and India were so far apart that they would not be able to maintain complete military strength and supply support after the war, India would still be a colony of the United Kingdom. I think you should be more grateful for what you have today It's fate, not a wimpy old man who can't even hold a fist for you to be beaten to death alive!"

"Look at it. There are many examples in ancient and modern China and abroad. Human beings who want to control their own destiny can't achieve it without bloodshed. Other countries are also bleeding, but what they shed is their own blood and the enemy's. Blood. And you are bleeding, but what you are bleeding is only your own. This is the gap, and this gap is also reflected in the results."

Speaking of this, Steve pointed to the north and said to them in a special tone.

"It's in this direction, just in another country separated from you by a mountain range. In those years, you were actually in a similar situation. Feudalism, colonialism. The people at the bottom will always be exploited. Exhausted Every ounce of strength in my body drains every ounce of blood in my body, but none of what I get from such sacrifices is my own. People are not like a person when they live. Sometimes they even live better than animals. It’s even more miserable.”

"No one would want to live like this. You don't want to, and they don't want to. And what they chose is a path that is completely different from yours. They chose to fight, and they really took up their swords and guns to resist. With their own Blood to let their enemies bleed, and use their own and the lives of their enemies to fight for everything they really want. This approach allows them to rely on their own efforts to establish their own country and a country that truly belongs to them. And you What about it? Does your country belong to you? You can ask yourself, does this country that has been handed over belong to you, or does it belong to those upper clans?"
