In a sense, in modern society, a star often has greater influence than ordinary people
Although in the eyes of the older generation, jobs like being an actor are very lowly in their perception
But in the eyes of young people, those young, rich, handsome stars are their pursuit and goal in life. After all, in modern society, wealth is always the simplest measure of a person's success. A standard, at least in the perception of ordinary people
Over a long period of time, this concept gradually formed and finally gained widespread recognition
The so-called laugh at the poor but not at prostitution is a concept that became popular during this period
Of course, this concept itself is still biased to the extreme. In fact, most people do not agree with it. At least in modern society, although wealth occupies a vital influence, not everyone Everyone agrees with this concept
In the understanding of most people, wealth is the criterion for success, but the way to obtain wealth must be reasonable and legal behavior. Otherwise, such wealth will be ill-gotten wealth. People not only I would not envy such people, but would sincerely hope that such people would receive the punishment they deserve
Just like the Golden Triangle or the big drug lords in Colombia, they are naturally famous. The wealth they possess, the connections they have, and the influence these two have can be said to be very huge in a region. , so huge that it can even ignore the law
A powerful drug lord will definitely have a strong enough armed force to resist the encirclement and suppression by the police and the army. The huge profits obtained from drug trafficking are used to maintain this armed force and his own luxurious life
However, such people will not be widely recognized in society. For the vast majority of people, a luxurious and enjoyable life is certainly worth pursuing, but if you violate your own principles of life, If it goes against the morality of people's hearts, it is actually putting the cart before the horse. The wealth gained in this way and the life enjoyed in this way are meaningless in themselves
And this is exactly what is worth pursuing besides wealth
Wealth is important, but maintaining yourself is equally important
If you can¡¯t maintain your true nature, then even if you have wealth, you won¡¯t really feel happiness
This point is true for the vast majority of people in this world. As for those who forget their true intentions because of the pursuit of wealth, they are another type of people. Most of these people are very It¡¯s hard to get recognition¡
Selling one's ability to earn wealth will be recognized by everyone, because this is the right path in a sense. The greater your ability, the more wealth you can earn
On the contrary, the wealth obtained by selling one's dignity, one's body, or one's friends will be despised by others. Even if there is no fault in the legal level, as long as the matter is exposed After that, such people will not be recognized
To give a very simple example, some time ago, the wife of a certain celebrity cheated on her agent and used this to seek to seize the celebrity¡¯s property. Although from a legal perspective, it seemed that the wife had no obvious fault, or in other words, from a legal perspective Procedurally speaking, there is no clear evidence that the wife has made a mistake, but in the understanding of most people, this person is a sinner in the true sense
Anyone who tries to whitewash this behavior, or anyone who tries to give support to this person, will undoubtedly face overwhelming accusations and scorn
This has nothing to do with whether it is legal or illegal, it is just because the behavior itself tramples on human morality!
Those who violate the law will go to jail for committing crimes
And those who trample on morality will definitely be criticized by thousands of people, and they will be in panic all day long!
This is a very simple reason!
The law can punish a person, and morality can also punish a person!
The so -called crowd of gold, the accumulation of bones, is the truth!
Many times, when a person's reputation is bad enough, that person will be completely isolated from society and the crowd!
Anyone else who is contaminated by this person will be implicated. This person's company, this person's family, and this person's friends will all be more or less negatively affected by this, and even this person's students. Stage teacherMaster, if you are unlucky, you may be pulled out for crusade
This is the terrible thing about moral condemnation!
After experiencing this kind of condemnation, any unjust behavior against such immoral people will become a just behavior in the eyes of others
Just like in the news for a while, someone was deceived into a pyramid scheme organization and killed several people in order to escape. In the end, he was acquitted and was recognized by the masses. Although murder is a very serious crime, but Killing those criminals or people who behave badly is, in a sense, an act of justice. Although sometimes the law may not agree with this kind of justice, justice will eventually come!
After all, if a person is really hated by gods and ghosts to a certain extent, then even if this person is killed one day, not many people will think that this is such a big deal, even the police They may not necessarily go all out to solve the case. More often than not, people will feel lucky and happy because of it
¡°A person who is hated by others, no matter what kind of treatment he encounters, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is somewhat natural
To give a simple example, if a little girl goes to steal something in a supermarket and is caught by the boss, who hangs her from a tree and strips the little girl naked, then there is no doubt that public opinion will generally favor the little girl. , I feel that this boss¡¯s behavior is too outrageous and a serious insult to personality, and should be punished accordingly
The reason is very simple, because the little girl herself is a vulnerable individual. Even if such a vulnerable individual has committed some criminal acts, there is no need to use extraordinary means to treat her. Such means are naturally beyond humanity. beyond the scale
If the same thief, instead of stealing from a supermarket this time, went to someone else's house to poison a dog and steal it, and was eventually discovered and arrested, stripped naked and hung from a tree, I'm afraid most people would not think so. There is nothing wrong with it, because compared to stealing things, the behavior of poisoning dogs and killing dogs is undoubtedly more disgusting. The most important thing is that most of the poisons that can poison dogs, if conditions permit, are also It is enough to kill someone, so the existence of such a person poses a certain threat to the people around him, so no one will have sympathy for such a person
In fact, in many areas with strong folk customs, if a thief is caught stealing something, he will basically not be able to escape a severe beating. As long as he is not beaten to death, he can be beaten in any way, and no one will be punished because of this. Sympathy for the thief
??And what if we take it a step further, if we agree to be a thief, this time the thief is neither stealing things nor stealing dogs, but stealing children or abducting women?
So even if this thief takes off his clothes and is hung on a tree, even if he is a woman, most people will not sympathize with him. Many people will even be angry and attack the trafficker in various ways, even in some special circumstances. Under the circumstances, even if the trafficker is beaten to death, the onlookers will probably not bear too much responsibility, because this crime itself is already a crime that far exceeds the standards of humanity. Even if it is more stringent, this crime will be punished. It is not too much to define any behavior as anti-humanity
In fact, many times, let alone human traffickers, even if there are incidents caused by misunderstandings, those who act bravely do not necessarily need to bear legal responsibility
Just like in a news story some time ago, a man forcibly took away a child, and then another man acted bravely and beat the man to death. In the end, through investigation, it was found that the man who took the child away was the child's biological child. The father only wanted to take away the child because of the dispute between the bloody couple. In a sense, this man was of course relatively innocent, but even if he was innocent, it could not be said to be absolutely innocent. After all, his behavior itself is also very inappropriate
Who made him do this kind of behavior that is so easy to misunderstand? If you are really beaten to death, you can only admit that you are unlucky
And if it is true that the trafficker was beaten to death, I am afraid that the people who acted bravely will not only not be punished by the law, but may be rewarded for their bravery and become heroes in the eyes of people
The so-called elimination of evil is to promote good, this is the truth
In modern society, wealth is a standard to measure a person's success, but this standard itself is not absolute
But at least, the vast majority of people agree with this standard
No matter what kind of job it is, no matter what kind of occupation it is, as long as it is reasonable and legal and there is no immoral behavior, then it is easiest to compare wages.The most direct and concise way to tell who is more successful between two people
From the perspective of ordinary people, wealth also determines a person¡¯s degree of freedom to a large extent
The more wealth a person has, the more freedom he has in life choices. Ordinary people are usually very helpless when faced with many choices, because they often have no choice
But the more wealth a person has, the more choices a person will have
Of course, this kind of freedom itself is freedom based on order
To be precise, the more orderly a person lives in an environment and the more wealth he has, the freer he is actually
On the contrary, even if a person has a lot of money, a lot of power, and a huge reputation, if he is in some extreme circumstances, his status, wealth and fame will become meaningless
For example, in the desert, it is a typical example
There is no order and civilization in the desert
In such a world, any product of the ordered world will not have any influence or significance here. In the desert, only water, food and camels are the most precious things, and everything else is equal to Just like the sand on the ground, no matter how much you have, it is meaningless
In addition, in many war-torn countries, wealth itself is often of little significance. Robbery or various violent crimes are everywhere. Only those with force can control wealth. What they have in their hands is Only wealth has purchasing power, and if they do not have force, then they and their wealth are nothing more than fat sheep in the eyes of others
In a country where order is more orderly, the role of wealth will be greater, and where order is more chaotic, the role of wealth will decrease geometrically
For the rich, their freedom is actually based more on their wealth. That is to say, their freedom itself is usually based on those titles full of order. In a hierarchical world, the more powerful they are, and conversely, the more barren and disorderly the environment, the less free they are
Of course, for the vast majority of ordinary people, they will never really go to those relatively dangerous places in their lives
For them, living in order is a matter of course. No one wants to escape from this order, because the more disorderly a place is, the more dangerous it is for ordinary people. , and living in order, as long as you earn enough wealth, you will naturally have relative freedom. For the vast majority of ordinary people, this kind of freedom is enough to make them feel satisfied!
However, the freedom You Yue pursues is not freedom in the narrow sense, but freedom in the broad sense!
Freedom in the true sense actually has nothing to do with order!
Whether it is an environment full of order or an environment completely disordered, there is actually freedom in an absolute sense, and this freedom itself is something that transcends order and wealth!
Ordinary people pursue wealth and abide by order, but if they want true freedom, they must stand on a higher level
Compared with order, only stronger and pure power can give people a higher level of freedom!
