In a sense, the development of civilization in any world will have a mainstream direction
In this process, those who follow the trend will always be more likely to succeed than others
To give a simple example, over the past decade or so, housing prices across the country have generally been showing an explosive upward trend, especially in some first-tier cities. In a few years, house prices have increased more than ten times or even dozens of times. In a sense, this rise in house prices is actually a social trend
The so-called social trend is actually very difficult to explain through some things, and it is also very difficult to explain
Just like some stars who have average looks, average body, and not outstanding conditions in all aspects, they can often become famous instantly. On the contrary, some stars often have excellent conditions in all aspects, and then go through an agent. After the company's most professional packaging, it is difficult to become popular. In the final analysis, there are not many reasons to analyze
In the final analysis, this is nothing more than the eye-catching problem an actor brings to the audience. As long as the eye-catching is good, people will naturally like it and there will naturally be fans. On the contrary, if it makes people look displeased, then naturally It is difficult to become a star, and this is why some male actors are not much better than ordinary people based on their appearance, but they can become famous
In fact, this is the reason why many celebrities undergo plastic surgery. The essence of plastic surgery is not to make celebrities more beautiful, but to make celebrities look more attractive and recognizable, so that they will be more easily recognized by the audience. The concept of favor and beauty itself is relative and not absolute, but people's aesthetics are always approximate and there won't be too many deviations
The mainstream aesthetics are always relatively close
If a person is closer to the mainstream, it will naturally be easier for him to succeed and gain recognition!
And the same principle is true in other fields
For example, when playing basketball, in the world of basketball, height is a mainstream. The taller a person is, the greater the possibility of becoming a professional basketball player. In the field of basketball, the higher the probability of becoming a professional basketball player. There is room for development. On the contrary, although short players exist in the professional game, they need to put in much more effort than tall players!
In fact, even those so-called short professional players are only short compared to the profession of basketball players. The vast majority of professional basketball defenders are 1.8 or even 1.9 meters tall. The shortness is only relative to the shortness of athletes. Compared with ordinary people, every athlete can be regarded as a tall and powerful existence
It can also be seen from this that no matter how big or small things are in the world, there is always a tendency
It¡¯s like the so-called wheel of history¡
The advancement of history always has a certain trajectory. Those who follow the trajectory are often more likely to succeed, while those who try to hinder the advancement of the wheel of history will often be completely crushed by this huge wheel in the end. !
By the same token, the process of civilization always has a tendency!
Martial arts and technology are inherently contradictory. When martial arts flourishes, technology will naturally become desolate. Rude people will even use force to kill wise scholars and regard what they say as lies. Confuse the public!
On the contrary, when technology becomes advanced, force in the simple sense will be restricted
Just like in real life, any use of force will be regarded as an illegal act. In a sense, the use of force is a crime in itself!
Although people are not prohibited from learning martial arts in the real world, in fact, the various social orders and judicial systems in modern society have made the path for martial artists very, very narrow, especially For ordinary warriors, if they do not join the government department, their military force will hardly have much use
For a long time in the past, cold weapons have been the mainstream development direction of social civilization. Because of this, all firearms and gunpowder have great power, but they are still not taken seriously by those in power. Those who can produce firearms and cannons Craftsmen are often regarded as the lowest of the lowly people
With the development of science and technology, hot weapons gradually replaced cold weapons and became the mainstream, and martial arts also naturallyNaturally, with the development of technology, it has become non-mainstream!
In modern society, although people are not prohibited from learning martial arts, in fact the social environment does not provide a good way for martial arts practitioners to survive, and this is also the root cause of the loneliness of martial arts!
Practicing martial arts in modern society can be said to be a very non-mainstream choice. The vast majority of people will not choose to practice martial arts as their main way of life. After all, in a society with relatively sound justice, the use of force The effect it can play by itself is often minimal
Even if there are still criminal acts in society, and there are still individuals who do not respect the social order and judicial system, but after all, this situation is only a minority. The opportunity to use one's own force reasonably and legally is not for the vast majority of civilians. For warriors, there are very few!
In fact, even if the use of force for the main purpose of defense is theoretically reasonable and legal, it is difficult to say that one can be completely innocent when it comes to court. This is why in modern society, few people The reason why you choose to practice martial arts!
However, trends themselves will not remain static forever!
In the era of cold weapons, there is no doubt about the strength of warriors. In the era of hot weapons, science and order represent the mainstream of civilization
But who knows what the next era will be like?
Weak people can only follow the changing times, but the truly strong can often control the trend and become the trend leader!
Of course, it is undeniable that even in modern society, people have paid a certain amount of attention to martial arts and fighting. However, in a short period of time, it is difficult for martial arts or fighting to truly become a mainstream topic in society ¡
And under such a background, warriors who can still concentrate on practicing martial arts are actually truly rare and valuable existences
After all, in modern society, if you choose a relatively mainstream lifestyle, you will always live an easier life, while if you choose a non-mainstream way, you will always be more susceptible to resistance and criticism from others
And it is undoubtedly a very, very, very, very difficult thing to be like a man of the hour and create the miracle of turning the non-mainstream into the mainstream!
Although every warrior hopes that one day the social status of warriors will be improved, hope is one thing and reality is another. If you want to truly swim against the current, it will not be a simple matter after all!
Not to mention that every government in the world is deliberately concealing information about the existence of extraordinary people. Even if every country exposes the powerful abilities of martial arts level warriors, it may be difficult for warriors to become the mainstream of society. , Comparatively, martial arts training itself requires a lot of time and energy, which also involves various secret medicines and secret techniques, and even differences in talent. Even a very few individuals can become far superior to ordinary people. Although he is an extraordinary powerhouse, martial arts still does not have much appeal to ordinary people
Just like professional gamers in reality, before the emergence of the fantasy world, there were actually many professional gamers. Many of them are star-level professional players who actually have very generous incomes, but This will not affect the way most parents train their children. Although most parents will not deny the achievements of famous professional gamers, they still want their children to embark on the road of gaming. , but they will definitely not agree, because they know very well that the success of this industry itself has a lot of chance, and not everyone is suitable to take such a path
On the contrary, a path like studying is suitable for everyone. It is just a matter of how far it can go
The reason is not that the road to study is not difficult, but that every obstacle on the road to study is foreseeable. Even if thousands of troops cross a single-plank bridge, they can at least see where the bridge is. , and the path of a professional video game player is like a path walking in the clouds. No one knows when it will fade from the clouds to the ground, so naturally no one dares to take risks!
Of course, after the emergence of the Fantasy World, the threshold for professional players has been significantly lowered, and a relatively reasonable professional system has gradually begun to emerge. The profession of professional players has gradually been recognized by some enlightened parents
The same is true for martial arts. Even if people know that there are powerful extraordinary warriors in reality, in fact, they do not have much influence on ordinary people. After all, such people are only a minority. , even if ordinary people learn martial arts, they can onlyIt would be great if you can be slightly stronger than ordinary people. If you cannot reach extraordinary levels, then in fact there will not be much fundamental difference from ordinary people
However, even so, warriors who cannot be called mainstream in the real world will still become masters in the true sense if they reach the level of martial arts. Such characters will naturally have social skills that ordinary people do not have. Their status and their powerful force are the guarantee for their privileges. Compared with other upper-class people, warriors are actually the freest type of people!
They can do what they want to do and say what they want to say without any suppression from the outside world. They have much healthier bodies and more energy than ordinary people. They are always in a good place. In a state of near-absolute health that high-ranking officials and wealthy people only dream of, they live themselves, every breath they take, every step they take, and every scenery they see, for the vast majority of people living in Asia For ordinary people in good health, it is the ultimate luxury! You can prolong your life, be immune to all kinds of diseases, and even keep your spirit in a state of enlightenment!
In a sense, once a warrior reaches the level of martial arts, he can be said to have become an inhuman existence. His teeth will grow again, his bone marrow will be retrained, every cell in his body, and every internal organ in his body will , will naturally undergo transformation!
??In a sense, after a warrior reaches this inhuman level, he is actually like a carp crossing the dragon gate and becoming a true dragon-like existence!
In the real world, if high-ranking officials and local tycoons are god-like existences, then powerful warriors are like immortals!
Since ancient times, people have always called powerful and perfect beings gods
But in fact, whether in the Eastern world or the Western world, gods and immortals are two completely different concepts!
The source of God's power is rules. In the Western world, gods have their own godhead and priesthood. Godhead determines the strength of the god, while priesthood determines the god's responsibilities and mission. If an individual becomes a god, he must If you act in line with your vocation, over time, you will easily lose yourself and become part of the rules!
God has extremely powerful power, but he must do things according to his vocation, without any overstepping or selfishness at all!
Once God has selfish motives and is unwilling to abide by the rules, then it is time for God to fall!
Just like the God of Death, although he can kill people at will, he can only save people by killing people, otherwise the God of Death himself will die. In fact, this is a kind of rule constraint that can be used at will. It can kill people, but it can never be used to save people. This is a power in itself. If the God of Death is absolutely ruthless, then he can kill anyone without paying a price. But if he is absolutely ruthless, then even the god himself can actually kill anyone. After all, it is nothing more than a rules machine, and there is nothing enviable about it!
In Journey to the West, the Dragon King of Jinghe is considered a medium-sized god, but because he disobeyed the instructions of heaven and got angry with a magic stick, he finally sent himself to the Dragon-Slaying Platform. The reason is actually not It¡¯s not because his behavior itself had any bad consequences, it¡¯s simply because he violated the rules and order of heaven!
The power of gods comes from rules and order, so they must absolutely support these rules and order, even if they do something against their will, they must do it this way!
The biggest difference between immortals and gods is that immortals are free in an absolute sense!
Yes, freedom!
