Chapter 28 You are the decisive force affecting the world

Let’s look at Wang Shouren’s sentence again, so that we can understand why this sentence is not idealistic: When you haven't looked at this flower, this flower and your heart will return to silence together.When you look at this flower, the color of this flower becomes clear for a moment.You will know that this flower is not outside your heart. First of all, idealism and materialism are two low-level classifications at the beginning of philosophy.The low level of this classification is that it can only express simple views at best, and cannot be used to express the process of philosophical thinking.And Wang Shouren's words are not a simple point of view - the point of view is flat and lacks logical support, while philosophical speculation is a complex thinking process.

Wang Shouren's words, expressed in philosophy, are: If you never existed in this society, would this society still be like this? If you no longer exist, the whole society will inevitably be affected.If Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, did not have his father or mother, then Zhu Yuanzhang would never have been born in this world. still exists.But Zhu Yuanzhang's parents did exist, so that world should not exist, at least for Zhu Yuanzhang, it is because of him that this world is like this. Zhu Yuanzhang is a key figure. He has become the dominant force in the world because of his power, and he must exist.If he does not exist, as Wang Shouren said, the world will be silent along with Zhu Yuanzhang.But in reality, Zhu Yuanzhang existed, killed thousands of people, and reached the Ninth Five-Year Plan, so for Zhu Yuanzhang, the color of this world suddenly became clear.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's father, or his mother, is an extremely insignificant figure in this world.But if one of these two insignificant characters is missing, the key figure Zhu Yuanzhang will not appear, and the whole world will completely change with this insignificant character who can't be more insignificant. In this human society, the role played by anyone is no different from Zhu Yuanzhang's parents.You can see that they are too small to be small, but their words and deeds are spreading and affecting the whole world. You may not think that you are so important, just like Zhu Yuanzhang's own father and mother, they will never dare Imagine how important they would be. They just gave birth to a child like Zhu Yuanzhang based on biological instinct. As a result, the whole world changed because of it.

Zhu Yuanzhang's parents gave birth to Zhu Yuanzhang, and the changes in this world were immediate.More people, the cycle will be longer, and the effect will be slower.For example, Wang Gang, Wang Yanda, Wang Yuzhun, Wang Jie, Wang Lun and even Wang Hua we mentioned at the beginning, the six generations of the Wang family have basically zero influence on the world.Although Wang Hua once won the first prize, this does not change the reality that the influence of these six generations is zero-but if something goes wrong with one of the six generations, for example, Wang Gang did not give birth to Wang Yanda, or Wang Yanda When Gang met the pirate Cao Zhen, Wang Yanda was hacked by the pirate, so in our history, Wang Shouren no longer exists.Wang Shouren doesn't even exist, so there is no hope of him making contributions in the future.

Therefore, among the six generations of the Wang family, from Wang Gang to Wang Yanda, to Wang Yuzhun, to Wang Jie, and then to Wang Lun, four generations of them hid themselves in the mountains and forests and refused to be official. The influence of this world has shrunk to be limited to the kang head of my own home, except that it only affects my wife, who gave birth to my own son and continues to be a hermit for the next generation, basically isolated from the outside world.In the history of mankind, it is really hard to find people with weaker influence than them. But without them, the world would be decisively influenced and changed.

In fact, Wang Shouren's words are not a so-called point of view without going through the brain, but a beginning of thinking, from which we can continue to explore the relationship between human beings and nature. If there were no humans, would the surface of the earth still be like this? Certainly not, at least the biological forms on the surface will be decisively affected, some species will increase, some species will decrease, and the withdrawal of human beings may even cause new and different species to become the overlord of the surface. No matter what the overlord is, after all, it is It fell silent because of the refusal of humans to leave the scene.It is still the human species that becomes the overlord.

But even if we come to such a conclusion, we still haven't touched the threshold of Wang Shouren's enlightenment, but at this moment, the door is right in front of Wang Shouren, swaying with the wind, making a "creaking" sound.However, Wang Shouren was exhausted. He had already reached the door, but he no longer had the strength to push the door open. He could only close his eyes in despair, allowing this door of thought to disappear into the fragments of rootless thoughts.
