Wan Ru, who understood what her master had done, realized at this moment that she had misunderstood the master, so she was so ashamed that she knelt on the ground with a plop, which Ye Feng had not expected.
Wan Ru lowered her head and said: "Sir, it was Wan Ru who contradicted the master just now. Wan Ru knew that her sin was serious, and she would leave later and would not embarrass the master. But I ask the master for the sake of Wan Ru serving the master. , don’t drive away Wanru’s family. Wanru will repay the kindness of the master by being a cow or a horse in the next life.”
Hearing this, Ye Feng frowned, walked up to Wan Ru, gently helped her up, sighed deeply, and said gently:
"Wanru, first of all, I don't blame you. Naturally, I won't drive you away, nor will I drive your family away.
"Secondly, what you said is not wrong. What I did seemed to be a good one, but in fact, it was not fundamentally different from what you said before. It was just a wanton act relying on my own strength. I He’s just a man who laughs at fifty steps and laughs at a hundred steps.”
Hearing this, Wanru quickly shook her head and said, "No, sir, you are not that kind of person."
Ye Feng just smiled bitterly and said, "Unfortunately, I am just that kind of person."
After Ye Feng paused for a moment, he continued: "Finally, I want to talk about your problem Wanru,
"First of all, Wanru, you have to remember that in this world, except for parents, people from Yangming Academy do not need to kneel to anyone else. Even if that 'anyone' is me, it is the same.
"Secondly, I have never believed in the idea of reincarnation. If there is anything you want to do, take action immediately and do it. If there is anything you want to say, just say it openly. Live hard in the moment and live well. Grasp this life without placing any hope in the afterlife. This is also the principle of forging ahead on the path of spiritual practice, so remember it.
"Finally, when each of you first came to Yangming Academy, I told you that although there are indeed various differences between people, in terms of personality and dignity, everyone is equal. . Regardless of whether this principle is feasible in this world, it is like this here.
"Wanru, although you call me master, I am not your master, and you are not my slave. Because I am your teacher and elder, and you are my student and junior. As an elder, I am tolerant and caring. , Protecting the younger generation is what we should do. The truth is not that complicated, do you understand? "
Wan Ru nodded gratefully and said, "Wan Ru understands."
Ye Feng turned to look at Wan Ning, Wan Qiu, and Wan Xiu and said, "The question I just said to Wan Ru is actually also meant for you three. Do you understand?"
Wan Qiu and Wan Xiu nodded quickly and said, "I understand, sir."
But Wan Ning said: "Master, I am not your student, so you are not my elder, and I am not your junior."
Hearing this, Ye Feng was also stunned.
But in the end, Ye Feng sighed helplessly and said, "I know."
Ye Feng really doesn't know what nonsense this unfortunate girl is talking about at this juncture!
As for the little girls Wan Qiu, Wan Xiu and Wan Ru, they knew what their eldest sister was thinking. After all, for the eldest sister, if she is a junior, how can she have the love between man and woman that she likes the master?
. . .
Ye Feng was not complaining for nothing. After all, what he encountered was a train problem, that is, a moral dilemma.
What is the train problem? The so-called train problem is,
No matter how you choose, you will face moral condemnation, but there is no escape.
No matter how powerful you are, you have to accept the inevitable loss, but you can't fly without wings.
For others, they can choose to escape and not make a choice, but Ye Feng has no chance or qualification to choose to escape from the beginning.
Because he is Ye Feng.
Ye Feng's so-called method of bypassing moral dilemmas is not to escape from choices, but to minimize the losses and sacrifices caused by that choice after making a choice. Therefore, from the beginning, Ye Feng, who never ran away from moral dilemmas, would never stand on the moral high ground.
. . .
We have said before that the difference between humans and animals lies in the morality of choice. Therefore, a high sense of moral superiority is not something that humans deliberately want to possess, but something that humans naturally hold. thing. After all, no one would be proud of being immoral in the first place.
Of course, what it will become in the future will be discussed later. But at least once a person has the concept of self-morality, he will not want his own moral standards to break through the surface of the earth and go straight to the center of the earth.
But why are there so many immoral people?
Because people are complex, the society composed of people is also complex, which leads to moral dilemmas like the train problem, which are actually everywhere in life. However, not every moral dilemma results in death.
There is a moral mountain in everyone's heart, but moral dilemmas everywhere are like a pickaxe, cutting down the moral mountain in your heart all the time. Persistence, water drops of water will penetrate the stone, and your moral mountain will one day be leveled. This is also the reason why some people's morals break through the bottom line and go straight to the center of the earth.
Keyboard warriors are everywhere in life, and they especially like to criticize others from the moral high ground. But in this world, the more a person cares about something and the more he wants to show something to others, the more that person lacks something. For example, those who like to stand on the moral high ground and show off their morality are actually the most immoral people.
Faced with this situation, there are only two ways to deal with it:
The first is to make amends after the sheep has gone, which is to face up to one's own shortcomings, admit one's shortcomings, and make up for the rocks that have been chipped away.
The second is the fundamental method, which is to strengthen self-cultivation and let the moral mountain grow faster than the rate of being worn down by moral dilemmas.
However, the reality is that almost everyone, even the first method, is used by very few people, and even fewer people persist in it. That's not to mention the more advanced second method.
That's why Ye Feng said that people will eventually fall, it's just a matter of time.
That's what it means.
. . .
Ye Feng never gave up for a moment, restraining and reflecting on his own strength.
In this world of cultivating immortals, people are accustomed to the fact that big fists are the last word. There is a certain truth, but they are still unreasonable.
If you only have sense but no fists, then you are undoubtedly ridiculous, because everyone can regard you as a clown.
And if you only have fists but no reason, then you must be stupid, because everyone will regard you as an enemy.
The meaning of fists is that when the other party doesn't want to reason and goes berserk, you can make the other party calm down and patiently reason with you, that's all.
