Chapter 2525 Contradictory Spiral

Yager felt lucky and unfortunate to meet Duran, because he had committed an unforgivable sin. Before he came to his son to inherit his power, he had killed a group of innocent people, the youngest of whom was only ten years old. So after being excited, Yeager quickly cooled down, like a deflated balloon.

Originally, Yeager was going to pass on his power to his son, so that his sins would end, and the disputes between the Eldians, the giants, and the Marleyans would have nothing to do with him, but at this time Duran appeared.

The face changed quickly, and Duran saw it clearly. He knew that Yeager had just killed people not long ago, and there were women and children, so his conscience couldn't let it go.

This world is like this. The development of any event has two sides. Even the protagonist has no best choice when making a choice. It is two-sided and opposite. It can be said that every event is like this.

The most basic thing is to defeat the giants, but you have to rely on the giants. Then there is corruption among the top leaders, but the top leaders have a trump card to fight against the giants. For example, Yeager wants to fight against the Marleyans, but the Marleyans have the upper hand in propaganda. For example, the outside world hates the Eldians, but the Eldians themselves are also slaves.

It can be said that the whole world is full of contradictions, and the task of the protagonist group is to choose a path among a large number of contradictions. As for what is at the end of this road, no one knows.

When fighting, the enemy is the former teammate and the one who hurts you the most. When choosing, choose your own way and you will not fall, choose the high-level way and you will be buried.

Without the perspective of God, any choice is so difficult, and the enemy's thinking is even more difficult to understand. The protagonists don't know what to do to change all this. Even the freedom pursued by the protagonist is wrapped in contradictions. To practice their own freedom, they must trample on the freedom of others.

For revenge, Yeager decided to seize the power of the ancestor giant because he saw the memory of the future successor, and decided to end his life so that the future attack giant can continue to fight and create. Although he didn't know if his son could do it, Yeager believed in him.

"People are sometimes really contradictory, aren't they?" Duran observed Jaeger's face and knew that he was caught in a spiral of contradictions: "I have good intentions, but I always hurt others. This world is so abnormal, but everyone is used to it. Everyone knows that it should be changed, but no one can propose a way. Wanting freedom, but trampling on the freedom of others, is really full of contradictions."

These words touched Jaeger's heart. Duran is indeed a man who sees everything clearly. No wonder he can think that the best way to eliminate the hatred between Marleyans and Eldians is to eliminate the blood barrier and find a social order that does not rely on blood. Now he points out that the world is full of contradictions, which really makes Jaeger feel excited. Knowing that there are people like Duran in the world who are working hard, he can die with peace of mind.

However, Duran thought that the biggest contradiction in this world is actually the contradiction between backward material life and advanced humanitarian education. Obviously, everyone can't even get enough food, and they may be eaten at any time, and the average life expectancy is also very low, but people in their teens and twenties think about the preciousness of life, the heaviness of friendship, and the value of human life all day long.

Not only the people in the Corps are considering it, but even the murderers are considering it.

In an era of great change, it is understandable that people are dissatisfied with the present world, and it is also possible for young people to resist and reflect on it. However, the change of ideas requires the injection of vitality from external ideas, but the ideological evolution of the protagonists within the high walls is completely endogenous, and they have not absorbed the ideas of the giants and Marley for digestion, which is very inconsistent.

After all, this country has been closed for more than a hundred years, and education and technology are curbed. Where did the protagonists' value concept of human life above all else come from? If we follow the scientific outlook on development, the economic base determines the superstructure, and there is no soil for the development of the idea that human life is as important as the sky within the high walls.

After all, in the general concept within the high walls, human life is just a bargaining chip, and the top leaders do not care about human life. Although ordinary people cherish their lives, they do not care about the lives of others. In theory, new ideas must be injected in this environment to awaken young people. After all, in an environment where people work hard every day and die if they don't work, who can be hungry and daydreaming all day?

But in fact, there is no new idea injected. The values ​​of the protagonists are completely endogenous. They appear in the minds of young people who train hard every day, and tear a crack in the Eldian Empire that has been numb for a hundred years.

Of course, it is inevitable that the people in power agree with the values ​​of the protagonists. The leader of the Survey Corps agrees with the choice of the protagonists. Because they all think that human life is precious, no one tells them why, maybe it is God-given, after all, it is a fantasy world.

After a lot of physical training, ordinary people simply cannot have the strength to think again, but the protagonists can be free from scientific constraints. Even if they are malnourished, they will continue to think and break the limits of human beings.

"I know you killed people, but the Reis family is already a backward force that hinders human development. It is natural to be eliminated. Will it make you feel better if I say this?" Duran said.

"That's human life, and there are children." Yeager said painfully.

"Just pay attention next time." Duran said.

Yeager was stunned: "How can you say that?"

"What can I say? After the wall is broken, the main contradiction is the contradiction between human survival and the invasion of external giants. All mankind should work hard for this main contradiction. Whoever lags behind is backward, and then they can only be eliminated. It's just that your attack is a bit large this time, and you must pay attention next time." Duran said, of course, he was thinking in his heart that according to the law of spiral contradictions in this world, when a group of people are judged as backward reactionaries, these people must have their own hidden reasons, and then the protagonists have to make a choice, because choosing development must also give up some precious things.

And there will even be people who speak for the nobles, saying that the real backwardness is not the nobles, these nobles are just appearances, and there are reasons under the appearances. Eliminating the nobles will not solve the fundamental problem.

This is how the world is. When a force is regarded as a villain, it will immediately make the villain have unspeakable hidden reasons, so it is difficult to grasp the main contradiction, and it is difficult to solve the fundamental problem if the main contradiction is not grasped.

Duran said that the Reis nobles were backward forces, which was not entirely correct, because they also wanted to deal with the giants, but the king who inherited the power of the reversal was affected by force majeure and forgot his mission, so the Reis family did not take the blame.

You don’t even need to bow and apologize, just say that I was affected, I am not wrong.

So Duran’s words are not accurate, and Yeager was so excited: "They also want to expel the giants, but they can’t do it. Reis’s family is also innocent and they have difficulties. Everyone is a good person."

"They are indeed not wrong subjectively, but they are backward objectively. Nowadays, the contradiction between population and food is so great, but the farms of the nobles are extremely huge, and their lives are extremely extravagant. Isn’t it backward enough? And I am talking about backwardness, not bad. Backwardness does not mean bad, so you have to understand it." Duran said: "Bad, it is easy to detect, because it directly damages the interests of others. Backwardness is not easy to detect, because they are subtly delaying the development of the entire civilization, and finally leading to the destruction of civilization, which is like boiling a frog in warm water."
