Chapter 2900 Water and Dreams (3)

The so-called eternity is like a man who loves a woman and gives her a ring. He says that his love does not matter time and will never change like a ring.

But as time went by, the small diamond he bought with all his savings when he was young was no longer comparable to the big diamonds he could buy. Moreover, the diamond ring became discolored and yellowed due to being stained with human oils.

Couldn't be more attractive.

People are willing to believe in eternity and the truth, and do not want to be deceived.

Theologians believe that God is the creator and maker of time, and that he created time after he created the universe, or at the same time as the universe, so that even if the future is infinite, the past is finite.

Others believe that time existed before the creation of the world, so time is infinite.

In the second dialogue of "On Infinity, the Universe and the Worlds" written by Giordano Bruno, it was said that since the power of an object expands according to the volume of an infinite object, then this power will not

Infinite power acts on finite bodies only with the force emanating from its finite parts and at a certain distance.

In other words, in Ptolemy's cosmic system, the earth is the stationary center. In order to explain the phenomenon of apparent motion of the planets, Ptolemy believed that each planet moves at a constant speed on a small circle, and all the cited factors support their

The only reason for being equally distant from the earth rests on the false conjecture that the earth is in a state of inactivity. But all nature is against this, and all reason is indignant. All right thought and good and mature reason condemn this

a little.

Nothing will remain unchanged forever, and time will not be like a ring. Sooner or later, we will return to the beginning of creation, and a pair of skillful hands will turn disordered materials into an orderly universe.

Human beings can imagine an infinite universe, but due to limited perception, it weakens with distance and causes loss. Bruno believes that if the truth is based on similar feelings, then all objects will be what we think. For example, the stars are fixed

If you stick it on the celestial sphere with glue or iron nails, sooner or later it will fall down like hailstones.

Bruno's trial lasted seven years. If he gave up his views, he would not be burned alive. As for the details of Bruno's conviction, I am afraid there will always be controversy, because after Napoleon invaded Rome, he ordered the trial transcripts and many art works to be handed down.

The goods were taken away together.

However, in early scholasticism, "defects of the soul" and "sin" were mentioned, such as bad temper and easy anger and restlessness. This is a kind of defect. Because this defect exists in the soul, even if the soul has not been provoked to anger,

In such a situation, you will get angry easily.

Just as a person is called a lame because he is lame, even if he is not lame at this time, the attribute of lameness still exists in him. Because even if the action has not yet been expressed, this defect always exists.

"Sin" is the fault of the soul that makes us tend to do things that are inappropriate and compromise with them (consensus). For example, someone sees someone else's orchard, and the piles of fruits make people salivate, but he does not become like a thief or a thief.

He goes in and steals like a thief, even though he desperately longs for the delicious food in his heart.

Desire and will always go hand in hand, and his weak nature is tempting him to obtain things that have not yet been known and allowed by the owner, but he suppresses, rather than quenches, his thirst. Precisely because he does not succumb to greed, he

No crime.

It is not a sin to covet someone else's wife and imagine that she is not married, but it is a sin to compromise on this covetousness. A higher level of sin is the so-called contempt of God and self-degradation. Lucifer thinks that he can do whatever God can do.

, and together with other angels launched a rebellion.

Any attempt to defeat the desire with the will under the prohibition cannot be considered a sin. Even sometimes killing a person is not a sin because it is done without guilt.

From a justice point of view, this person does deserve to die, but he sincerely repented after killing this person. The judge's ignorance is often a disaster for the innocent. He cannot tell whether the witness is giving false testimony. Some people are afraid of the next

In hell, if you sincerely repent in the last ten seconds of your life and then die, it would be too cheap for him to go to heaven just like that. Therefore, you must repent sincerely to be qualified to go to heaven.

There was once a speaker named Cato the Younger. He was famous for his tenacity and stubbornness. He lived a very decent life. Unlike the ancient Roman nobles at that time, they only ate the food they needed and drank the cheapest wine on the market.

Although the inheritance he received was enough to allow him to live a very comfortable life.

This is a requirement of the philosophical sect to which he belongs. Without Hydra, Heracles would be nothing more than a sleeping prince of Thebes.

He rejected the temptation of the goddess of "evil virtue", followed the advice of the goddess of virtue, and determined to choose the path of virtue.

The Romans during Caesar's time had become extremely corrupt. Cato set an example by refusing to wear bright purple and instead wore ascetic black clothing, hoping to change the declining situation.

Joining the army is a tradition for Roman aristocrats. After suppressing the Spartan slave uprising, Cato the Younger was selected as a tribune and sent to Macedonia. He shared the joys and sorrows with his slaves, friends, and subordinates.

He was also loved by his subordinates.

But Cato the Younger was not in the military, but on a study tour in Asia. He later accumulated a reputation, and the cities he passed through rushed to express their respect and courtesy. After entering the political arena, as a financial officer, he cleaned out the corrupt worms from the treasury, making him

His reputation is as high as that of the consul.

Sulla once stipulated that anyone who killed an enemy of the people would be innocent and rewarded. Without an army, the mob did the job of eradicating dissidents. Cato ordered everyone to return their ill-gotten gains and accused them of murder.

Accept the punishment of the law.

Cato the Younger was wary of any resurgence of Sulla's tyranny. Pompey became the most powerful man in Rome by suppressing Spartacus' wonders and opening up territories in the East. In order to restrain him, Cato the Younger decided to run for the tribune election.

According to the ancient Roman system, tribunes had the power to veto the Senate.

Then Cato discovered a new and greater threat - Gaius Julius Caesar. Even facing the three-headed alliance of Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus, Cato remained stubborn to the end.

During Caesar's campaign in Gaul, Cato the Younger publicly accused Caesar of all his actions and ambitions in the Senate, intending to use the Senate to get Caesar to give up military power, voluntarily go into exile or withdraw from politics, but of course Caesar refused and led a legion to attack

Italy, seized power from the Senate.

Cato the Younger went to Africa with Pompey's army and continued to resist. However, after Caesar appointed Cleopatra VII as Queen of Egypt, he continued to pursue Cato the Younger and Scipio. In the end, they were defeated. Caesar did not

Accepted Schibio's surrender and spared Cato the Younger.

But Cato the Younger was unwilling to live in the world ruled by Caesar, and ended his life in an extremely tragic way. When Caesar learned of the death of Cato the Younger, he said, "Cato, I resent your death, and you resent it."

I will save your life."

Augustine once said, “Sometimes when close friends die, although their passing makes us mourn, the event itself does give us comfort, because they no longer have the sufferings in this world that tormented them, led them astray, and plunged them into all kinds of dangers.

.”

In the dark ages, judges would make innocent people surrender despite the fact that they had not committed any crime and could not endure the pain. However, due to ignorance and unavoidable judicial duties, the judge tortured and punished innocent people. At this time, he was not guilty.

All things that were once illegal and prohibited, if they are later allowed and legalized, then we will not be guilty in the slightest when doing these things.

Similar to euthanasia, we cannot control our own birth, but we can control our own death. While some people relentlessly pursue immortality, some people hope to get rid of the torture of illness.

Pain cannot be judged as happiness or misfortune based on the length of time. Ben Cooper was not tortured to the point of insanity by the Cruciatus Curse like the Longbottoms. But misfortune cannot be called happiness just because it is short-lived.

If Isidora's theory is put into "eternity", Albus thinks it is unfortunate. The word eternity originally refers to a lifetime, but it now refers to the past, present and every moment in the future.

, or “eternity” that “transcends time” as Augustine believed.

There is order in everyone's heart, and this order is in the inner soul. Everyone can think about what Isidora did, but no one has the right to execute her.

Death Eaters often carry out private executions, and the Joker also says to his execution victims, "You deserve it." But who gives them the power?

Locke believed that the person or institution responsible for the care of a community has the highest power over everyone in the country and is ultimately entrusted with the power to make and abolish laws.

Many people are dissatisfied with the international confidentiality law, but it is not that simple to abolish it.

When a person's behavior conflicts with himself and exceeds the tolerance range, he will feel angry. As long as he does not compromise, it is not a sin.

But is it considered a crime for Senbatar to use the Unforgivable Curse on Isidora?

Pomona stopped "walking" and turned around.

The wind from the Thames blew Severus' cloak, and he didn't mind at all how weird his outfit looked among Muggles.

"What's wrong?" Pomona asked.

"The centaurs have made a decision, they will not use those arrows." Severus said, "I sent Carter's luggage back to his residence. In any case, he has made a contribution to this school."

Pomona was in a slightly better mood. The centaurs also knew that humans did not like the Sword of Damocles, so they did not tell anyone except the people at Hogwarts about the prophecy that the mysterious man would come back.

"He deserves a decent exit," Pomona said.

"Did I do the right thing?" Severus said with a smile.

She's not in that mood now.

"What were you thinking just now? So serious." Severus said.

"Theology," Pomona said.

"You are a witch, remember?" Severus also said seriously.

"I know." She said impatiently.

"You did what you could." Severus said coldly, "We can't control what that boy looks like."

"You know whether outside the court or in the court, if the suspect remains silent, others will definitely think that if he speaks, it will be detrimental to him, and his silence will cause people to create associations and inferences that are detrimental to him," Pomona said.

Severus was confused for a moment, then "You mean..."

"I asked you to stay calm, not to stay silent. I don't want you to suffer," Pomona said.

He thought carefully.

"Silence says a lot, but it's not like when your girlfriend closes her eyes and says nothing."

This time he smiled.

"Now you're back."

Pomona had a cold face and still didn't want to pay attention to him.

She really hoped that some sage would publish a book discussing the problems of first love, so that she could read it.

At this time, he walked a few steps faster, walked side by side with her, and continued walking along the trail.

Occasionally a jogger would pass by and take a second look at them, but they would soon be forgotten.

London is a big city, how could it not have one or two weirdos?
