Chapter 86 【Case Analysis】【Life is a struggle for one's own survival】

Someone made a comment like this: Facing the harsh reality, we have to admit that life is about struggling and fighting for our own survival.No matter what people do, it is directly or indirectly for their own lives.To labor for others is to obtain what others labor for himself.isn't it?Workers work to receive wages to live, farmers farm to dress and eat, and writers write books to be seen by others in order to receive royalties. It is true that there are people like Lei Feng who are dedicated to the people, and there are scientists like some scientists who work for the happiness of mankind. People who forget about their work.But such people must also have a basis for their own survival, that is to say, they must first work for their own survival, otherwise they cannot even survive themselves, so how can they work for others?

The argument raised at the beginning of this argument is that life is a struggle for one's own survival, and struggle, but the actual argument is another argument: only when one has survived can one serve others.These are two completely different topics. The original topic expresses the purpose of life, the view on life, and an incorrect outlook on life; the latter topic expresses the foundation on which people live, their living conditions, and their physiological needs.The commentator confuses the two, and replaces the argument for the former topic with the argument for the latter topic, which violates the rule that the topic must always remain the same in the process of the same argument, and commits the sophistical error of secretly changing the topic.
