Chapter 227 Definition

"What caused the actual distance between the two sides to be so far away? I thought about it and came up with a word, social distance. It is precisely because of the social distance between the nobles and the common people that there is such a real distance of one step at a time. Distance. Then, why are the nobles of the first generation not far away from us, but the current nobles are so far away from us?"

"The nobles of the first generation often joined hands with soldiers to fight, why do the nobles rarely do so now?"

"The first generation of nobles could eat barley with everyone, why do the current nobles have to eat fine wheat?"

"The first generation of nobles exchanged their lives and blood for glory and spoils of war. Why do the current nobles only huddle in castles and play with their privileges?"

"Why did the truly powerful and heroic nobles of the first generation never deliberately avoid the common people, and never deliberately emphasized the difference between the nobles and the common people, but the current nobles are desperately trying to isolate themselves from the common people?"

"I've thought about it for a long time, and I finally figured out that the current nobles are protecting themselves."

"Why do they protect themselves? It's because they are afraid. What are they afraid of? Fear of their own incompetence, fear that they do not have the wisdom, prestige and ability of their parents and grandparents, but have privileges, status and wealth. They feel from the bottom of their hearts that they They are not worthy of these privileges, status, and wealth, because the first generation of nobles are great men that they cannot surpass or even stand side by side with in this life."

"They know better that their ancestors fought for their dreams, for glory, for the city-state, and for the people, but they fought only for themselves."

"In order to protect their own privileges, status and wealth, they fabricated a lie. This lie is that they are qualified to inherit the power, status, prestige, ability, wisdom and even glory of their ancestors. They themselves are nobles and nobles. Others are naturally 'mean'. They redefine human beings, reclassify human beings. With this definition, they can hide their fears, hide their incompetence, and justify all the inheritance of their ancestors."

"In order to make the new definition more solid, in order to make their status more stable, they will take the initiative to expand the social distance between the nobles and the common people, and use all means to beautify the nobles' morality, good deeds, strength, legality, dedication, courage, etc., etc., Put all the virtues that originally belonged to human beings on nobles, and then put all the evils that originally belonged to human beings on others, such as wealthy businessmen who are not nobles, such as those who are slightly stronger than ordinary people people, such as those emerging forces who started from scratch, such as a very small number of lazy civilians."

"Such behavior itself is not terrible. What is terrible is that as the nobles beautify themselves all the year round, some commoners really believe it!"

"Many people may think that if some people believe it, what's the point? In fact, once the common people believe in the beautification of the nobles, even if they feel that the privileges, status, and honor of the nobles are just a little bit, then these One must believe in the other side of the opposite, that common people are despicable, or that at least some of them are despicable."

"Once you believe in noble and cheap, once you believe in this definition, there will only be two kinds of common people in the world."

"One is to believe that you can only be a commoner, just a servant of the nobles, you should be enslaved by the nobles, you should listen to the nobles, whatever the nobles say is right, and your fate in this life is doomed. These people, It is constantly solidifying the authority of the nobility."

"The second type of people think that although they are civilians now, they may become nobles in the future. They cannot become nobles themselves, but their descendants may become nobles. Therefore, these people will work harder than the first type of people to maintain the authority of the nobles.

They spared no effort to promote the distance between the nobles and the common people. They felt that they were protecting the future themselves and future generations. This kind of person will also continue to solidify the authority of the nobility. "

"The second kind of people seem to have a good idea. Do they really have a chance to become nobles? They ignore the most important core. When they recognize the definition and privileges of nobles, they have given up the decision to be promoted to nobles. Leave it entirely to the nobles."

"It's a pity that people will never find out that the nobles made the ultimate definition from the beginning: they are commoners, always commoners, commoners who can never threaten the nobles! No matter how hard they try, no matter what they do, they can never escape Out of this definition, always circle in this definition, but think that you are moving forward. The pigs in the pigsty may think so too."

In the eyes of all the refugees, there was a deep sadness.

"Do you think this is the scariest thing? No. What's even more frightening is that once the children of civilians find out that they have been civilians for generations, they will completely give up fighting and giving up moving forward, like walking dead, like machine puppets, Do things for the nobles as loyally as animals. In order to survive, you fled Huihe Town, but after a few generations, your descendants will not leave Huihe Town even if they starve to death. Because they are completely Accept the nobleman's definition of them: the two-legged beasts of Gray River Town."

The refugees trembled slightly.

"Do you think this is the scariest thing? No! What's even more frightening is that the first generation of nobles accomplished feats, and the next three generations of nobles solidified the distance. What about the subsequent nobles? What do they think? You know, what Cammonra thinks Is it? He doesn’t regard himself as a human being at all, he only regards himself as a nobleman like a god. He really treats you as pigs and dogs, cattle and sheep, and animals! In the eyes of Cammonra, you At first, they were animals that grew barley! Later, they were animals that did not grow wheat well! Then, some of them were nailed to stakes! Now, they were animals that fled everywhere! Finally, they were animals that allowed them to earn military merit. !"

"You are a group of beasts who have been kicked out of their homes, a group of beasts who have killed all their relatives, a group of beasts who are about to starve to death, and a group of two-legged beasts who dare not touch Canmenla even so!"

Zachary could hardly hold the spear in his hand, and whispered: "Stop it, stop it..."

Many of those refugees were sobbing and even fell to the ground, losing the strength to stand up.

"do not talk……"

"do not talk……"

Many cried and begged.

The three tablemates behind Su ye shed tears silently.

It turns out that not only myself, everyone in this world is climbing in the magma.

After a while, Su ye continued to speak.

"Is there only one kind of noble and two kinds of commoners in human beings? No!"

"I read all the books and found that there is another kind of people, that is, people who see no nobles or commoners in their eyes, and only regard themselves as human beings. Such people will not be defined by nobles, nor will they be defined by commoners. Restrictions will neither be affected by noble families nor destroyed by commoner families. This kind of person defines his own life and pursues his own value and meaning!"

"Every great man and sage in history, whether noble or commoner, first got rid of the shackles of nobles and commoners, got rid of the definition given to him by others, and got rid of the definition given to himself in the past!"

"They betrayed the past first, and then became legends and heroes!"

"Now, you are defined by Cammonra as maggots, dung, lazy people, waste, mobs, robbers, and animals that are hacked and killed. Do you admit it?"

"deny!"

"we are not!"

"we are not!"

Many refugees cried and shouted.

"No, you are maggots! You are mobs! You are robbers! You are beasts! You are trash!"

Su ye looked at the refugees in front of him contemptuously, making no secret of his disdain.

The refugees looked at Su ye angrily, and at the same time were filled with deep disappointment.

I thought that Su ye was the one who understood him.

It turned out that he was the same as the nobleman.

"Do you think I will praise you, encourage you, and recognize you? Don't be ridiculous! You, from the beginning to the end, have been defined by the nobles as animals, and you keep going around. Compared with the animals in the town, the biggest difference is Yes, you are the beasts who dare to leave the town."

"You can't insult us like that!"

"you shut up!"

"We are heroes! We are against the nobles!"

"Yes, we are righteous men!"

Su Ye sneered: "Justice? Hero? Rebellion against the nobles? Then tell me, which hero killed the tenant farmer in Ka'en Village who was cut up by you for protecting his granary? His wife and eldest son, and Was it killed by a righteous man? Who was his youngest daughter, who was just a few months old, thrown into the fire and burned to death by a righteous man! Tell me! Tell me!"

The refugees were silent.

Zachary lowered his head, his face full of remorse.

"A righteous man? A hero? When you are slaughtering sheep and grilling while watching the shepherd throw himself into the river, is it something a righteous man can do, or a hero can do something? You go around the noble's house and search for the food of the poor people When the time comes, do you call yourself a righteous man or a hero?"

[New] All the refugees bow their heads.

"Only beasts wield swords and chop at young children; only beasts kill innocent civilians; only beasts use various excuses to kill innocents!"

"You will say, you are angry, you are in pain, you are sad, and you have nowhere to vent, but what is the use of killing the weak and innocent? Your behavior is the same as that of a lion preying on a wounded antelope, or the same as a tiger preying on a clumsy deer. It is completely following instinct, and it is completely something that animals can do!"

"If you are human beings, if you have any sliver of humanity, if you are really angry, if you are really in pain, if you really want to vent, if you really want the world to know what happened to you, if you really want the world to understand you, then, You will not bite the weak like animals, but will show the side of human beings higher than animals."

"What is the side that is higher than the beast, what is the human side, do you know? You don't know, because your mind is the same as that of a beast! Come, look at me, and I will tell you, what is the human side."

"Swing a knife and slash at the aristocrats!"

"Nobles, it is the source of all your pain! It is the target of your anger! Not the weak and innocent."
