Chapter 56 <Good Mr.>

There is a folk tale of Mr. Good Man that says: Once upon a time, there was a teacher who always followed the other party's wishes when talking with others, and never said anything that others didn't like to hear.Therefore, everyone called him Mr. Good Man.One day, Zhang San and Li Si had a quarrel, and Zhang San went to ask him to comment. After hearing this, Mr. Hao Hao said repeatedly: Zhang San, you are right, and Li Si is not right. The next day Li Si also went to ask him to comment. After hearing what Li Si had said, Mr. Hao Hao said repeatedly: Li Si, you are right, Zhang San is not.Later, Zhang San and Li Si went to ask him to comment at the same time, Mr. Hao Hao said to them: You are all right, you are all right.After hearing this, Mr. Haohao's wife hurriedly asked him: They are all right, so who is wrong?Mr. Hao Hao said with a smile: "My lady, you are right."

Since Zhang San and Li Si quarreled, it means that their views on a certain issue are contradictory. If you look at what Mr. Haohao said to Zhang San and Li Si together, it means that Zhang San is right, and Li Si is also right, and Zhang San is wrong, and Li Si is also wrong, which violates both the law of non-contradiction and the law of excluded middle.In order to please Zhang San and Li Si, this good man made peace in front of two contradictory views.And when his wife questioned his ambiguous and ambiguous strange theory, in order not to offend his wife, he said to his wife, your question is also right.In this way, Mr. Good Man has involved himself in very ridiculous sophistry.
