Chapter 29 Old Stories and Modern People

According to legend, there is a story in the Han Dynasty, Uncle Xun went to other places to visit a friend who was sick. It happened that a bandit was coming to attack the city, and the whole city had already fled. !Uncle Xun replied: I came to see you from afar, but you drove me away; making me disregard morals in order to survive is not what I, Uncle Xun, should do.The dispute could not be resolved, but the bandits had arrived, and they shouted and asked the uncle, "Who are you?"The whole city has run away, how dare you stay alone?The uncle replied: "My friend is seriously ill. I can't bear to abandon it. I would rather take my life instead of my friend's life."After hearing this, the soldiers and generals looked at each other and were moved and said: We are all unrighteous people, but seeing a country with righteousness, we can be worthy of shame!As a result, the bandits retreated in embarrassment, and the whole city was preserved.

Now, among modern people, there are so-called smart people with a sense of modernity and modern thinking. After seeing this story, they thought that Hu thief and Xun Jubo were stupid, so they proudly changed the story, and Hu thief killed him. Uncle Xun said that to fulfill his wish, he ransacked the whole city and left; of course, his fellow patients died too!Because modern smart people with this modern outlook on life will not feel that they are reasonable and keep up with the trend of the times if they do not change in this way. However, there are more modern and fashionable so-called progressive ideas that have also appeared in today's world, so this story has been changed even more. He was taking care of his friend's illness. As soon as he changed his mind, he immediately greeted the bandits with a smile on his face, held out his hands, recognized the bandits as friends, and helped the bandits rob the whole city, and left together; of course, they also abandoned their old friends who were sick.This is the so-called modern thought of modern life, which originated in the West and has also spread to other places.As for whether the bandits will kill him in the future?And how he will see his recovered old friend again in the future is not in his mind, because that is a matter of the future, and in the future, the present method and tricks are in line with the requirements of the new modern trend of thought.

In addition, there is a modern story told by modern people. Two people went to climb a mountain, and they were connected by a rope around their waists. The other person couldn't rescue him, but in order to protect himself, he cut the rope and allowed his companion to fall to his death in the deep ravine. This behavior is regarded as the most intelligent example of modern life thinking, because he thinks that if he stays with him, That is foolish.However, if one thinks about it carefully, there is a doubt in it. Why did they connect with ropes in the first place?What's the point?If it is only to prepare yourself to be rescued, or to cut the other party's rope in times of crisis, wouldn't it be a deceitful deception?

Is the remnant of the old story stupid?Are the so-called new ideas of modern people smart?As for what can help the evolution of the human race and the rectification of human nature, if you think about it a little bit, I believe many people will be able to identify it.
