Chapter 25 Difficult Enlightenment - Law and Enforcers

The Law Enforcer embodies the law, and just because of this, he is very arrogant and arrogant.They are often hopelessly sleazy in other ways: bribery.Fornication, lying, bragging, snobbery.After all, they all have what people have, and these weaknesses are made more conspicuous because of their status as law enforcement officers.They are the same people with the same weaknesses, but after all, the law is enforced through them, otherwise who can it be enforced through?People in this world are like this, Fa has no choice.There is only one thing to be admired, that is, without exception, these people are infinitely loyal to the law, and their behavior educates and scares K very much.And just like that, the divine, invisible law miraculously escaped from these villains.It was reflected in the hooligans, and even the legal codes on the trial stand were a few unsightly obscene books.How does the artist's wand turn decay into magic?The mystery is only to be aware of the law, and all those who are aware of it are covered with holy light and converted to the boundless command of the law.

The harshness of the law does not allow sympathy, and every evil deed must be punished accordingly, and there will be no tolerance.The disgusting scene being seen in the junk storage room can also be regarded as K's own self-examination in disguise.The guards are vile and despicable, completely dehumanized, begging for mercy like slugs in the face of legal punishment.But begging for mercy didn't work either.Why did it come to this point?It's just because the law is superior and doesn't recognize personality at all.Superficial requirements such as identity.A man is bold when he breaks the law, but when the punishment comes, he is out of his wits.Prevention is impossible. All law enforcement officers look like children who don't know how to prevent themselves from committing crimes.As specific people living in the secular world, the law is only realized by them when they are performing tasks or being punished. Usually, they are no different from ordinary people. Every day, they get by with the fluke mentality of escaping the sanctions of the law. Part of the time is smug. "Stealing a living" is the portrayal of these law enforcement officers in their daily life. They sneak around and sneak around, just to get a little bit of money.When they become aware of the Dharma, all these life-related weaknesses in them disappear, and all of them become masks, unable to say anything except a few dry, routine words. what.What do you say?That kind of thing can't be said, only the leather whip on the body is real.The law only stays in the minds of the lowly law enforcers, and the lowly people are still lowly and often trample on the law unintentionally. In this case, the law does not abandon them, which is the tolerance of the law.The magic power is boundless and inclusive of everything.Wasn't even the poor page, the lowest servant, the cuckold, respected by the defendants?This guy castrated by the law also has the flame of revenge hidden deep in his heart.It's just that revenge can only be realized in fantasy.The tolerance of the law also comes from the weakness of the law itself. It is impossible for the law to exist independently of the public. Only the minds of these lowly people are its habitat. Therefore, the law has to accommodate them, showing its benevolent side, making these guys like Playing around like a child, but firmly retaining the right of final punishment.All enforcers who live under the control of the law show distinct dual personalities.

The Enforcers are all self-aware people (although equally self-deceiving in their daily lives), the Enforcers have a significantly higher understanding of the law than K, and all they do to K is to educate him, tell him The existence and power of law.The stubborn K has been living on the surface, clinging to the false grounds.The relationship between the law enforcer and K reveals how difficult human enlightenment is, and how impossible it is to achieve complete enlightenment.On the big stage of the world, the half-eyed K can only grope forward instinctively, feeling the light with his skin.

If K is not arrested, K and the law enforcement officers will always live in two worlds independently of each other (this is an untenable assumption).Because of this unprecedented arrest, a dark and narrow passage appeared above the dilapidated court building. K walked in a daze on this only passage designed for him, talking to the law with a half-understood understanding. When we met, we started the process of being a new person.Law enforcers are some signs on this passage, and the road has to be walked by himself.Rather, K has lived in the world for thirty years, and this secret passage has always been there. This passage was set up for him, and the law enforcement officers also exist for him; Finally, he was arrested and the day when the two worlds were connected.The law is by no means trying to eliminate K's life from the very beginning. The law just wants to set up some insurmountable obstacles in K's life, forcing him to realize its power.
