Chapter 2709 Difficulty
Ritsuko Akagi admitted that history has inertia. The old forces of the island country have not been crushed, and the inheritance of seele has not changed for half a century. Therefore, they are indeed feudal organizations, just like the feudal society for thousands of years. Standing in the center of the altar Man dominates all lives.
They try their best to conceal, deceive and deceive those outside the altar, that is, they do not tell the truth and do not allow those outside the altar to participate. Over time, people inside the altar will have a feeling that they are smarter than those outside the altar, and they will do whatever they say.
But is it really true that people inside the altar are smarter and people outside the altar are stupider?
Obviously not. For example, the residents of New Tokyo City 3 retreated and fled when they encountered danger, choosing to flee for their lives. The reason why they follow the instructions of the people inside the altar is not because they are stupid, but because they have interests. Third, New Tokyo has been the area with the fastest economic development, the most resources, and the most abundant employment in the past fifteen years. A large amount of infrastructure has attracted workers from all over the world.
If the people inside the altar do not bring jobs, but want to take away the resources of people outside, you will see what is called the iron fist of the proletariat.
The fact is that people outside the altar are not stupid, and they will loyally follow their own interests. The two groups of people inside and outside the altar are not one and the same, they just use each other. If those inside the altar think they are smarter than those outside, they are sadly mistaken.
Ritsuko Akagi looked at Duran, waiting for Duran's answer.
"Yes, I am helping Shinji Ikari. I want to cultivate his personality and hope that he can win the battle independently without relying on others. When he shows all the brilliance of humanity, he can represent each of us. "Human." Duran said: "So we must strengthen his body, toughen his spirit, expand his horizons, and improve his wisdom. When all of this is completed, a new Shinji Ikari will be born. He will not." No matter how indecisive you are, if you have your own judgment, you are no longer a part of Unit 1, but the leader of Unit 1.”
Ritsuko Akagi thought that Ikari Gendo would definitely not be happy. After all, he chose his son to target Seele. It would not be good if his son also became an enemy.
But the other party is really confident. To be honest, Ritsuko Akagi feels bad when she sees a kid like Shinji Ikari. How can she manage him well and educate him to improve him? The kind of depressed and autistic child feels tired just by chatting.
Ritsuko Akagi is very smart, so she sees through many things, but the only thing she cannot see through is love.
"Did you know? If we were to compare personal efforts to building a building, some people with extraordinary talents and hard work could build a ten-story building in their lifetime. And some people with low talents and awkward personalities would be able to build a ten-story building even if they work hard. Even if you try hard, you can only build a five-story building. In this world, everyone has a height limit, but you hope that Shinji-kun can build a twenty- or thirty-story building. Do you think it is possible? "Ritsuko Akagi is very smart, so? Know it's impossible.
Everyone has their own limit, and it is impossible to build buildings indefinitely. What Duran said was to help Shinji Ikari break the limit, which is fanciful.
"Interesting metaphor, let me use it as well. I think life is not about building a building, but discovering a building. The hundred-story building is in our hearts, waiting for our discovery. As long as we look through the clouds and see the sun, we can discover the building that has existed from the beginning. It doesn’t need to be built,” Duran laughed.
"As expected of a history teacher, it seems that you also have a lot of research on religious history." Ritsuko Akagi knew that Dulan's answer was actually similar to "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so how can it be stained with dust?" The concept of enlightenment and enlightenment.
Sudden enlightenment and becoming a Buddha means that the Buddha is in your heart and you don’t need to practice. You become a Buddha when you suddenly discover it. This is why "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot". After discovering one's own Buddha nature, the murderer can also become a Buddha immediately.
Gradually enlightening and becoming a Buddha is the concept of Akagi Ritsuko, practicing Buddhism layer by layer, precepts, concentration and wisdom, first receiving the precepts, then meditating, and finally generating Boruo wisdom, building a tall building step by step. Most people give up when they see how difficult it is to become a Buddha. After all, human abilities have limits. To become a Buddha is to build a hundred-story building, which cannot be accomplished by one's own strength.
And what Dulan is talking about is enlightenment and learning Buddhism. He is saying that the Baizhang Building already exists, just waiting for everyone to discover it. Once discovered, even a murderous maniac can become a Buddha instantly. After saying this, everyone felt at ease. After all, it was much easier to find a building than to build one.
Misato Katsuragi was so angry outside that she couldn't understand what riddles her best friend and Dulan were playing about. How could building a building have anything to do with religion? Can the two of them say something humane?
Ritsuko Akagi believed that educating Shinji Ikari was about building a building, while Duran believed that educating Shinji was about finding a building. The difficulty of education was completely different.
"A simple opinion." Duran said modestly.
"Then you want to train Shinji Ikari to oppose Neuron?" Ritsuko Akagi started to talk.
Dulan said: "This is very strange. If you really want to protect mankind, why are you afraid that Shinji Ikari will oppose you after independence?"
"Uh." I didn't expect the other party to be so cunning. Not only did he not let the news slip, he actually seized on his own loopholes. Ritsuko Akagi was the one standing in the middle of the altar, so he naturally knew that people like Duran outside the altar could not have a second choice except opposition. But by asking this question, the other party admitted that the neurons do not act for all human beings.
Naturally, this cannot be admitted. Once admitted, it would be a betrayal.
Protecting all mankind is a tacit agreement between those inside and outside the altar. As long as the tacit agreement does not disappear, there will be no sharp conflict between the two sides. However, when the apostles disappear and the tacit agreement to protect mankind no longer exists, a fight will inevitably break out between the two sides.
This is just like talking about morality. Everyone knows that morality is high and ungrounded, but no one dares to break it, because morality protects everyone. Once it is broken, individuals and individuals, forces and strengths will break off and fall into chaos. At that time, it will be a real chaos.
The same is true for the theme of protecting humanity. Neurons don't want to break off, after all, the plan has not been completed. People outside the altar don't want to break off, after all, the power of neurons can really fight against the apostles. So under the framework of protecting humanity, the two sides can have some games, but they will never confront directly.
So Ritsuko Akagi naturally won't admit that the goal of neurons is not to protect humans. Once she admits it, people outside the altar will have a legitimate reason to kill in.
People outside the altar suspect and people inside the altar admit it themselves. These are two completely different concepts.
"I mean that Shinji Ikari might disobey the combat orders issued by the Neuron." Akagi Ritsuko lied.
"A general is not subject to the orders of the king when he is away from home. As a front-line soldier, it is correct for Shinji Ikari to have his own judgment. After all, he knows the situation on the battlefield better than you in the rear, and he must adapt to the situation." Duran also pretended to be stupid.
I couldn't understand it at all. Katsuragi Misato thought that the apostles were easier to deal with. The apostles would not lie or deceive. The apostles are apostles, full of oppression, and the mission of humans is to eliminate the apostles, simple and clear.
The relationship between people is full of inexplicable relationships. They are obviously enemies but pretend to be friends, full of intrigues.
That's all because of their own feudalism. If they were not feudal, there would naturally not be so many riddlers. Everyone would be much more comfortable if they spoke frankly.
Ritsuko and Duran chatted, tested each other, and asked each other questions, but Duran said the truth. His position was determined from the beginning, that is, he did not believe in the Neuron. Ritsuko wanted to know Duran's background and how he hid Shinji Ikari, but she found nothing. Duran did not lie, but he chose to remain silent or change the subject at critical moments.
