Chapter 180: People's hearts are weak, moral decline!
Professor Li spoke these words in a sonorous and forceful manner, with spit flying around his face, as if he was impassioned and pointing out the country.
But the audience at the scene was completely silent, and they couldn't help but feel an awkward feeling in their hearts.
This awkward feeling mainly comes from Professor Li's remarks. It seems that he is speaking out for the beggars, but in fact it is hard to agree with.
Ye Bai frowned unconsciously after hearing this, which was a little difficult to understand.
It would be childish and extreme for Professor Li to draw this conclusion using just one example.
After the words fell, Professor Li's chest was still rising and falling slightly.
After a while, the expected warm applause did not ring out. He felt very strange and looked toward the audience.
At this time, I don’t know which audience member applauded first, causing other audience members to reluctantly follow suit. It can only be said that there was a sparse round of applause.
Compared with the reluctant applause of the live audience, the netizens in the live broadcast room were not so patient and tempered. Some of the bad-tempered people immediately started spraying at Professor Li in the live broadcast room.
"Here I go, what Professor Li said before was quite normal, but then there was a surprising twist, and I was convinced."
"What does he mean by this? If we don't give some money to the beggar, wouldn't we be good people?"
"To put it bluntly, I have an intuition that this professor is also one of those brainless experts who attract people's attention."
"Whether you are a good person or not cannot be determined solely by the example he gave. It would be too one-sided and too arbitrary."
"Even if there are fewer good people in society now, it is because of self-protection. Don't you think about how many beggars are pretending? They may make more money than us ordinary people."
Live, on stage.
The atmosphere in the broadcast room fell into silence because of Professor Li's words. The host Yang Dan tightened his grip on the microphone and sighed helplessly.
When Professor Li said that "but", she had a bad premonition, and as expected, the premonition came true.
How to describe her mood at this moment?
It should be: What are you afraid of? Just four words...
Fortunately, Yang Dan quickly adjusted his thinking and began to speak again to arouse the emotions of the audience.
"Professor Li just gave some examples to explain some of his opinions on the question of whether we should be good people. I think everyone can think about it, what is the reason why passers-by do not help beggars?"
"Being kind in people's hearts is a personal choice and moral concept, which is rare and precious. Is it true that there are fewer good people as Professor Li said, or is it because of some other reasons?"
"We might as well think carefully about these questions and continue to listen to the views and opinions of other guests."
At this point, she changed the topic and started asking other guests for their opinions.
At the expert table, Professor Du had his own views on this issue and raised his hand very actively to speak.
When host Yang Dan saw this, he immediately nodded knowingly, raised his hand and said:
"I saw Professor Du raised his hand, and we will give the time to him. I hope he can bring us some new angles and perspectives so that we can explore this topic more comprehensively."
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Professor Du.
Professor Du first adjusted the position of the microphone, then lowered his head and said, "Indeed, today's hot topic is a very deep and controversial topic."
"I think generally, everyone wants to be a good person within their ability to benefit themselves and their surrounding relationships."
"After all, the education we received since childhood is to tell us to be a good person and a kind person. Good people will eventually be rewarded, and evil people will be free and evil people will be punished!"
Having said this, Professor Du paused, as if what he was going to say next was very crucial.
For this reason, many viewers are curious about what he is going to say next and are waiting with bated breath for what he will say next.
Ye Bai also turned his head and glanced at Professor Du. He also wanted to know whether Professor Du could give the audience some better opinions and views after Professor Li's extreme remarks.
After Professor Du glanced around the entire audience, he cleared his throat and continued:
"However, unfortunately, based on my observations, I have come to the same conclusion as Professor Li. That is, the number of good people in today's society is indeed decreasing dramatically, and there are really fewer and fewer good people."
When the audience heard this, there were mixed expressions of shock and disappointment on their faces.
Because Professor Du's words did not bring them new ideas, but once again confirmed Professor Li's conclusion.
Two pairs of adjacent spectators began to whisper, expressing their dissatisfaction or disapproval of their opinions.
Professor Du was not surprised when he saw this, but adjusted his sitting posture and then spoke:
"I know it will be difficult for everyone to understand at first glance. After all, no one wants to be accused by others of not being a good person. But the reality is that we can know from many reports that people who do good deeds around them are better than cleaning themselves up.
Will there be much fewer people with snow in front of their doors?"
"Professor Li just gave an example, and I will give another example to illustrate."
"I was on a business trip abroad before. It was winter, there was heavy snowfall, and the ground was very slippery. I stood at the hotel window and looked down, and found an old man walking tremblingly on the road. Suddenly his feet were unsteady and he slipped.
.However, within a few minutes of him slipping, no one was willing to step up and help him up."
"The old man just kept struggling in the snow. There were not many pedestrians passing by at that time, but everyone turned a blind eye and walked straight past the old man. How can this kind of behavior be worthy of the education we have received since childhood?"
Having said this, Professor Du seemed very sad and angry at this memory, and couldn't help but slap the table.
"At that moment I couldn't bear it anymore and ran out of the hotel in a hurry, but when I got there, the old man had already left. I don't know if someone helped him up or if he struggled to get up on his own, but at that time I watched helplessly...
The old man fell in the snow and there was no one to help him. This is really annoying."
"At that time, I was thinking, what is wrong with this society? Why are people today so cold-blooded? When I was in college, some people even sacrificed their lives to save the elderly, but today they just help a fallen person.
Old man, do we still need to think and discuss such a matter of course?"
"Healing the dying and healing the wounded, respecting the old and caring for the young, these are all social axioms! Today, when these axioms are blurred in people's minds, it makes people's hearts weak and their morals slip!"
