Chapter 678: Universal love, non-attack evolved version


    To be honest, Fei Qian is not very good at direct theoretical refutations and disputes. Talking, an elegant sport, is not so easy to master.


    More importantly, Fei Qian did not want to take any responsibility or criticize Mozi''s morality. Even if Mozi''s thoughts may have flaws of one kind or another, they are still the best of their generation, and subsequent generations should carry them forward and inherit them. It’s not about blindly trampling on the corpses of predecessors to prove one’s greatness, nor is it about slavishly accepting everything that cannot be changed at all.


    ?But how can we better express this concept?


    Fei Qian was silent for a long time, and then asked, "I wonder if Juzi is getting married?"


    “Never.” Mo Jie shook his head.


    ?Well, Fei Qian changed the question to another one and said: "Juzi is walking in the countryside. Does it mean that the people like to have children, or even more like to have daughters?"


    Mo Jie said: "I''m even more excited to have a baby." Mo Jie walked around a large area, and the people basically expressed their emotions very directly. They were happy after the birth of a son, but complained about the birth of a daughter.


    "Why? A woman is not her own child?" Fei Qian then asked, "Under the same roof, flesh and blood, love and hate are different. Dare I ask Juzi, how about universal love?"


    The first moral principle of Mohism is universal love.


    But the problem is, no one can do it.


    Mohist morality is basically of this type, which is somewhat idealistic and even forward-thinking. It is similar to the situation in communist society, with "universal love", everyone loves everyone, "sameness", and all members are equal. Both young and old have something to support them, "no offense", no disputes, everything is based on actual needs, "saving burial" and "saving use", there is no waste, everyone in the entire society is like a whole...


    But human beings are inherited by blood. This blood relationship, well, maybe one day ideological awareness reaches a certain level, or the continuation of human life relies on mechanization and breaks away from the blood tie. Otherwise, no matter ancient or modern, China or foreign countries, it will be a top-to-bottom relationship. blood society.


    Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, China has established a tightly organized blood society. All social status, relationships, etc. are bound by blood ties.


    ? It can be said that a person''s life is completely inseparable from the position determined by blood. Different starting lines have been drawn at birth, and it is just a matter of how well the subsequent people run.


    Confucianism was born out of this kind of bloodline ethics, and then rebellious boys like the Mohists were born.


    However, at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the original blood relationship of the old aristocrats in the Zhou Dynasty began to collapse. Some people who were outside the blood society had problems with their self-positioning. On the one hand, some of them directly lost their blood ties. Some have lost contact with their families due to weak blood ties. On the other hand, they long for a higher political level and social status, so these people gather together spontaneously. The relationship between them obviously cannot be blood ties. The love of relatives in the world, this new social relationship requires a new positioning, and universal love appears.


    So it''s very simple. No matter how well packaged or how shiny the various doctrines and thoughts are, they all serve certain corresponding classes. After taking off that layer of clothing, what is hidden underneath will always be Bloody interests.


    The Mohist universal love, simply put, is equal love. The love for everyone in the world is the same. The father of others is your own father, and the children of others are your own children.


    ?Well, Cao Cao and Cao Mengde seem to have done a good job in this regard. Of course, Cao Cao only achieved half of it. So even the philanthropic Cao Cao cannot achieve 100% love, let alone ordinary people in the world?


    After understanding what Fei Qian was saying, Mo Jie seemed to have been hit hard. He seemed to be several years older. The wrinkles on his dark face became deeper and darker. He lowered his head. . It can be argued that the common people do not understand the Mohist teachings and the principle of universal love, but conversely, why can the Confucian moral principles exist for a long time even though the common people may not understand them?


    “…Is it wrong…” Mo Jie murmured to himself.


    Since Mo Jie was able to adhere to the simple attire and requirements of the Mohists and hike the Chinese land for several years, it shows that he agrees with and adheres to the morality of the Mohists. Therefore, Fei Qian did not directly argue against the morality of the Mohists. That would inevitably cause a strong resistance from Mo Jie.


    ?Fei Qian then only told one fact, a fact that Mo Jie had seen with his own eyes and could not get around.


    Of course, the reason why such a sentence can touch Mo Jie is because the Mohist school, which was once tyrannical for a while, has withered. Just like Marx also needed to borrow money to buy bread. At that moment of borrowing money, how much confidence could Marx have? ?


    Especially when someone who has read Mohist books said this, this kind of frustration made Mo Jie feel even more lost.


    "Junzi, clinging to deficiencies and being old-fashioned, is like a piece of wood rotting away. It is not a wise move. Mohist morality is good, but it is too extreme and cannot be tolerated by the people, so..." Fei Qian looked at Mo Jie and felt a little regretful. If he had added a little more Correction, Mohist morality is actually a good spiritual guidance force, just like the later generations...


    “Please speak clearly, Zhonglang.” Mo Jie said. In fact, Mo Jie also felt that there might be some problems with the morality of the Mo family, otherwise he would not have asked Fei Qiandong. But after all, one was in the mountains and it was difficult to see clearly. The other reason was subconscious self-avoidance.


    "For example, the word "Jian Ai" is more important than the word "Jian Ai". Don''t ask for the same thing, take what I have taught you, and praise it." Fei Qian said. Love other people''s children as you love your own children, well, you can still do it to some extent, but you have to love other people''s wives as you love your own wives, well, Cao Cao can do it, but you have to love other people''s parents as you love your own parents? So where do we start talking about unfilial sons?


    So, when you have spare energy, use some to help others and care for others. Isn''t this more acceptable than forcing everyone to treat everyone equally? Then commend and commend those who do this, so that more people will naturally be willing to do such things.


    Mo Jie raised his head slightly, thoughtfully.


    "No offense." Fei Qian sighed. This was another doctrine caused by Mozi''s extreme romanticism, and said, "How can there be a country without sin? How can there be a fight between favors? Once the war breaks out, use everything. Extremely. When the Hu people go south, there is no intention to attack. Therefore, it cannot be generalized. If we are friends, we cannot bully them. If we are enemies, we can do anything."


    In other words, treat your comrades as warmly as spring, and treat your enemies as ruthlessly as winter. Fei Qian blinked, and suddenly felt that what he told had a strange sense of familiarity...


    The author doesn’t understand Mohism very well…


    So let’s just say it, the generous family will just listen to it...


    Don’t argue, don’t slander…


    The boss has said that we must be harmonious...
