Chapter 75 troubled times

The rise and seriousness of crime is causing great concern.The nature of crimes often faithfully reflects the mentality and pathological aspects of society. Psychologists have done a famous experiment on rats, that is, when a large number of rats live in a crowded environment with little room for movement, the rats will start to invade other of the same kind, so that rats eat rats, rape and so on. A big city is exactly such an environment. The more people there are, the greater the segregation among people, the more acute the injustice, and the harsh environment makes it difficult to eliminate the hostility, so various social problems arise.

Like a rat world with too many caged rats. Second is the issue of the world situation. According to statistics, crimes rose sharply during and after each World War. For example, after World War II, crimes in Britain doubled in 1946 compared to before the war.Despite its distance from the battlefield, crimes in the United States, which was less affected by the war, also increased by two-thirds. It was not until around 1954 that the number of crimes began to fall. But the situation is still not optimistic. Only robbery and theft have fallen, but murder and rape have continued unabated, showing the increase in population and fulfilling the signs of overpopulation.

War or political instability causes uneasiness in people's hearts, breaks normality, and creates a dangerous mentality that people cannot follow the law and routine in everything. Short-sighted people take risks and hope to get the most benefits for themselves. The binding force of morality collapsed under the pressure of the world situation. Everyone speaks out for self-interest, which shows a sick society.This is the case in Hong Kong, so why not in mainland China. This is an abnormal phenomenon. The society can neither bring prosperity and stability, but all kinds of tricks.But there is always hope. With a good political change, the troubled times can gradually become a happy land, and the change should be at present.

In the transition period from chaos to tranquility, what is needed is patience and perseverance.
