"So," Gaia raised her eyebrows and pulled down Madness who was picking at her shoulder, "Do you want to become a new Themis system?"
The King of Discipline lowered his head to avoid a branch protruding sideways on the road, and sneered at this statement: "I'm not that boring. Compared to becoming a system in a science fiction novel, I have enough discerning ability myself."
"Oh?" Gaia was quite surprised and lowered her head to avoid the branches. "Then what is the connection between your name as King of Commandments and this story?"
Just after asking, Gaia heard a crisp sound behind her, and turned around with the King of Commandment, only to find that it was Madness who broke the branch directly, took it in her hand and waved it.
After a moment of silence, both Gaia and the King of Discipline ignored the situation.
Then, the King of Discipline said calmly as he walked: "The biggest problem with this system is not the rigidity or the logic problem, but the problem of inequality rather than scarcity.
Some people are born into rich families, and some people are born into poor families.
Some people are born healthy, and some people are born disabled.
Some people work hard all their lives to get things, and some people get them easily.
Do you think this world is fair?"
Gaia frowned slightly when he heard this: "However, this world is like this. None of us can decide our origin. Maybe it is the way of throwing dice that determines your and my origin, scattering us randomly in every corner of the world."
The King of Discipline chuckled and nodded in agreement: "However, it is difficult to have a noble son from a rich family to a poor family. As the times change, endless social phenomena are constantly impacting our traditional concepts. We are becoming more and more Realize that fairness is only a relative concept and there is never absolute fairness.
When social resources are scarce, only a few people can get justice. This is vividly reflected in the oldest legend of flood destruction. At that time, the ark built by primitive tribes with limited space would not be able to accommodate everyone. At this time, only those who had special contributions and value to society could enjoy this special s right. In some extreme cases, even the most precious life cannot receive the most basic fairness.
Comparing each other is the most common way for people to test fairness in daily life, but comparison brings another result - anxiety. Especially as the information between each other becomes more and more transparent, people's desire to compare becomes more and more intense, which ultimately makes many people more anxious. "
As he said that, the King of Discipline took out a mobile phone-like machine that was still intact and usable from his pocket, almost making Gaia's eyes pop out: "Tsk, although it works, the signal is not good and we can't contact anyone to pick us up. , no wonder explorers don’t usually carry magic communicators. Forget it, let’s continue.
After the destruction of the last era, the quality of life in the chaotic era was completely different from today's. But if you ask the elves or dragons who experienced that era, they will definitely say that they miss that era very much. At that time, people were simpler, the distribution of social resources was more equitable, and people would not be so anxious, so their happiness was higher. "
But Gaia was quite dissatisfied with this: "But if you really asked them to go back to that era, they would definitely not want to.
Let me tell you a story. There were two children arguing in front of their toys:
"You've been playing for so long, it's my turn. 』
"No, I haven't had enough fun yet. 』
"That's not fair!"
Innocent children make fair demands for opportunities to play. In his eyes, unfairness is the unequal opportunity to play. Fairness is inseparable from equal opportunities.
Does fairness equal justice?
No, fairness is subjective. It is "how so-and-so should be", not "what so-and-so is". So it will change with time and social progress. The slave trade that existed more than ten years ago is unfair because they don't "deserve" to be treated like this.
The definition of justice is more of a selfless judgment of people or things based on the law or a certain principle. It's process. Its principles will not change with time and social progress, so it is objective. The purpose of justice is to protect, but fairness is a tool to enforce a certain idea, so it is more likely to weaken the rights of some people.
In this case, fairness is subjective and there is no absolute fairness. "
However, what Gaia didn't expect was that the King of Discipline had no intention of refuting his point of view: "Of course I know that fairness is subjective, and what most people call for is fairness, hoping that the world will treat everyone the same.
However, when it comes to myself specifically, I hope the world can treat me differently.
The former is man's cosmic consciousness, and the latter is man's self-awareness. For most people, when expressing emotions, it is often the consciousness of the universe that is present, and when distributing interests, it is often self-awareness that agitates.
A selfish person always regards fairness as a right. He demands that the world give him fairness, but whether he can be fair is another matter. Just like a poor person, when he becomes rich one day, he may not want other poor people to become rich too. "
Having said this, the King of Discipline himself laughed: "I once asked my teacher, who is a highly respected sword master, what do you think he answered me?
He said: I think fairness has the following meanings: 1. Fairness is only relative. There is no absolute fairness, only relative fairness. Fairness is a sociological term. In law, fairness is one of the basic values pursued by law. Gong means public, referring to everyone, and Ping means equality, meaning equal existence for everyone.
Due to differences among people, there is no absolute fairness, only relative fairness.
2. Equity is an ideal state, the goal we all pursue, and a dynamic construction process. For this reason, we should work hard to build a relatively fair social environment instead of complaining, complaining, and being discouraged.
3. The strong make use of various resources in the current environment, constantly strive to improve themselves, constantly adjust themselves, and finally achieve success. The weak always complain and accuse that this society is unfair and it is other people's mistakes. They do not look for the reasons from themselves.
Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs. So the current social environment is the same for everyone, but everyone has a different mentality towards him, so some people succeed and some people fail. "
But after saying that, the King of Discipline stopped laughing: "But, I don't like this.
I think people who have both self-awareness and cosmic awareness are fair people. A person whose consciousness of the universe is greater than his own consciousness is a selfless person. True human fairness is the product of the system, the product of faith, and the product of morality, but in the final analysis, it is the product of the human heart. In true fairness, what you finally see is the nobility of human nature.
Therefore, I want to give everyone, no matter strong or weak, a fair chance.
Therefore, the name I gave myself was the King of Discipline. "
