Chapter 244 The finite and infinite fall into the human race
"Those who cause an avalanche and cause a big disaster will definitely abdicate responsibility and frame others. This is their instinct. There is an extremely sinister intention hidden in this sentence, which is difficult for ordinary people to detect because everyone is kind."
"Oh? I didn't see it either." Zhou Chunfeng asked curiously.
"Another meaning of this sentence is that when there is an avalanche, no matter who you are, you are just an ordinary snowflake. It doesn't matter that we ordinary people are just a snowflake, but those who usually occupy power and embezzle wealth, at this time, actually
Become an ordinary snowflake? This sentence is vicious in that it deliberately washes away the sins of those people, makes everyone ignore the cause of the avalanche, makes everyone give up holding the culprit accountable, and makes everyone not care about the avalanche, instead blaming the innocent and forcing the innocent.
Bear the fault." Li Qingxian sneered.
"You...are not rude in your words. Then what did your grandpa say?" Zhou Chunfeng said with a smile.
Li Qingxian frowned and thought for a while, then said: "What my grandfather said is very mysterious. My father admires it very much, but he doesn't particularly agree. My grandfather said that the so-called 'encountering an invincible enemy' is just a superficial phenomenon. The underlying reason is that mastering this
People with national power believe too much in 'limited existence', and then they stagnate. The difficulties they encounter will inevitably exceed the limitations they believe in and cannot be solved, so the country collapses. If it pursues the infinite, the country will keep moving forward.
, will not collapse. The reason why I remember this is because I couldn’t understand it and felt that grandpa was talking nonsense. But as I kept thinking about it over the years, I became more and more aware that grandpa had insight.”
"Tell me how you understand it." Zhou Chunfeng said.
Li Qingxian thought for a while and said: "For example, if a general believes in his own power, it is limited. If a scholar believes that the scriptures of the saints can govern the country, it is limited. If the emperor believes in his own power, it is limited. The people believe in the wise king, and the wise king also
People are also limited. My grandfather said that limitation in itself is nothing. For example, in ancient times, the world would not change much for hundreds of years. If you live well and believe in farming for food, you will be fine. But the problem is that the world is always changing.
, the human race will always encounter existences that 'transcend the finite'."
"Give me an example." Zhou Chunfeng said.
"For example, the State of Qi thought that its power was very powerful, but the demon clan surpassed the strength of the State of Qi, causing the State of Qi to be defeated. For example, the emperor of the old dynasty was actually limited, but he thought that he could control the world, and the result was that the State of Qi was defeated.
Rebellion, foreign invasion. For example, force is limited, super powers are also limited, and even the gods that humans believe in are also limited." Li Qingxian said.
"Those evil sects praise the gods as being omnipotent," Zhou Chunfeng said.
"We cannot prove whether the gods are finite or infinite. The key is, are the power and benefits I get from the gods limited or infinite? Is the help the gods give us limited or infinite? Is the power attributed to ourselves limited?
Or infinite? Obviously, it is limited. Therefore, all those who believe in gods believe in limitation. It is because they believe too much in their own limitations and do not believe in themselves too much that they place their hope on gods."
Li Qingxian thought for a while and continued: "It can even be said that most of us believe in limitations. Let me give you the simplest example. Almost all old people will miss the past, belittle the present, resist new things, and even,
Many young people are always opposed to new things, which is a typical example of believing in the 'limited past' and not believing in the 'relatively unlimited future'."
"That's a good statement." Zhou Chunfeng pondered for a long time and then asked, "Then what is the real infinity?"
Li Qingxian thought for a while and said: "My grandpa didn't explain it in detail, and I didn't understand it at the time. But because I have been thinking about this matter since I was a child, and I have been thinking about it for more than ten years, I dare not say that I have figured out 'infinity'. I can only say,
Close to infinity.”
"Tell me about it." Zhou Chunfeng looked at Li Qingxian with a smile.
"One is the great road, and the greater road behind the great road. The constant pursuit of the greater road is actually the pursuit of infinity. The great road here refers to the fundamental law of all things. The other is the future, and this future is not a future of nothingness.
, but, as for the future of the human race, as long as the human race continues to reproduce, grow, and pursue the great road, and as long as it is not extinct, human beings will have an infinity."
"That's a good statement." Zhou Chunfeng fell into deep thought again.
After a full quarter of an hour, Zhou Chunfeng asked: "Why doesn't Gang Feng agree?"
Li Qingxian hesitated for a moment and said: "My father said that if everyone pursues infinity and is not down-to-earth, the country will perish. There is an island country in the west, where the best people pursue some kind of utopian city-state, and are eventually destroyed by the horse demon farther west.
country."
"That's true. How did your grandpa refute it?"
"My grandpa said he was tired and fell asleep."
Zhou Chunfeng laughed dumbly and said: "You have been thinking about it for more than ten years, but have you come up with any results?"
Li Qingxian said: "I wanted to explode my head about this matter, but I couldn't figure out who was right and who was wrong. Finally, I suddenly thought, are they both right, but neither of them is completely right? Tell me, are you right?
One possibility is that the reason for the decline of the human race and the country is neither the pursuit of finitude nor the pursuit of infinity, but the failure to balance finitude and infinity? Is there a possibility that the human race can pursue both finitude and infinity?
If you pursue infinity and balance the two, you will be invincible? You see, in this world, besides white and black, there are countless colors, but why do we humans always feel that what we believe is right?
, what others believe is wrong? Is it possible that everyone is actually right, but not all of them? It’s like everyone has a piece of the puzzle, but no one can master the whole puzzle?”
Zhou Chunfeng was silent.
Li Qingxian said: "You think, should we allow different people to do different things? For example, if you like limitations, just have your wife and children on the kang, or farm and work to earn money to support yourself. If you like unlimited, just fantasize and think,
Go out and take risks, find a more powerful road, and change the world and the future. It also allows one person to do two things at the same time. These things do not conflict in themselves, but we humans forcefully identify them as conflicting, and there is right and wrong.
, this has led to countless internal strife, pain, contradictions, tragedies and disasters in the world."
Zhou Chunfeng looked at Li Qingxian quietly, as if looking at a stranger.
Zhou Hen remained silent.
Zhou Chunfeng asked: "Did you really think of it yourself?"
Li Qingxian shook his head and said: "Half of it is what my father, grandpa, the book and the fortune teller took notes on, and the other half is what I slowly understood after experiencing a life and death crisis. The last ones are not results, just my guesses."
"Do you want to pursue the finite or the infinite?"
"Of course adults want it. But... with you, Zhao Yishan, and people with great wisdom pursuing infinity, it will be fine. As for me, I will be content if I find a safe place where my wife and children can warm each other.
.”
"Where can I find peace in this world?"
Li Qingxian was stunned for a moment.
"Yeah, where is the peace?" Li Qingxian looked out the window in confusion, his eyes reflecting the early autumn.
