Chapter 4 Chapter Four

The waves of military action between nations rested on the shore.The tide of large-scale military operations receded, and eddies formed on the calm sea.The diplomats swirled in the maelstrom and thought they had quelled military activity. However, the calm sea suddenly became turbulent again.The diplomats attributed this sudden turmoil to their disagreement, anticipating yet another war among kings, a situation which could not be resolved.But they felt that the storm did not come from the direction they expected.This storm still comes from the starting point of the movement - Paris.Operations from the West met one last headwind.This countercurrent must resolve what seems to be a diplomatically insoluble conundrum and end this period of military action.

The man who caused France to be devastated returned to France alone, without plotting any tricks, without taking a single soldier.Any of the guards could have arrested him, but by strange chance no one had caught him, and the man whom they had cursed a day before, and who they would curse a month from now, was warmly welcomed. This person also has to justify one last class action. The play is over, the last part is played.The actor was ordered to undress, wash off his makeup and rouge, and he was no longer needed. A few years passed.During this time the solitary island man still admired his own tragicomedy, and when he had no need to justify his actions, he continued to use tricks and lies to justify his actions, and showed the world that What one sees as power is nothing but an invisible hand that guides him.

The play was over, the actors undressed, and the stage manager showed us the actors. "Look, what do you believe in! This is him! It wasn't he who moved you in the past, but me. Now you understand?!" But people dazzled by the power of these actions were long unable to understand this. As for Alexander I, the man who led the reverse military operation from east to west, his life appeared to have greater coherence and inevitability. What does this man who stands in the way and leads this military campaign from east to west need? He needs a sense of justice and a concern for the affairs of Europe, not blinded by small profits, but long-term; he needs a spiritual superiority over the cooperating kings; he needs a gentle and charming character; There needs to be a personal vendetta against Napoleon.All this Alexander I had, and it was all caused by countless chances that he himself experienced: such as education, liberal pioneering, surrounding advisers and the battle of Austerlitz, Tilsit talks and El Foote meeting.

In times of civil war, this man can do nothing, because he is not needed.But when there was a need for a general war in Europe, this man would come into his own, and he would be able to unite the nations of Europe and lead them to their destination. The purpose is achieved.After the last war in 1815, Alexander was at the height of personal power possible.How does he use his power? Alexander I, the man who pacified Europe, who from his youth devoted himself to the welfare of his nation, and who was the first to advocate liberal reforms in his own country, now seems to have the greatest power, and therefore can work for the welfare of the nation, while in At this time, Napoleon was still dreaming in exile, drawing up a false plan like a child's play, threatening that if he took power, he would benefit mankind. Revelation, suddenly realizing the insignificance of this false power, throws it away and gives it to the villain he despises.He just said:

"Glorious power does not belong to us, does not belong to us, but to your holy name!" I am also a human being, just like you, let me live like an ordinary person, let me often think of God and the purity of my soul Bar! " Every atom in the sun and space is a complete sphere of its own, and at the same time an atom of a cosmic whole so vast that man cannot comprehend it.Likewise, each has his own purpose, and this purpose serves a general purpose beyond human comprehension. A bee that landed on a flower stung a child.The child is afraid of bees, saying that bees live to sting.The poet admired the bees picking flowers, and he said that bees suck honey to absorb the fragrance of flowers.The beekeeper sees that the bees collect pollen and nectar to bring back to the hive, so they say that the purpose of the bees is to collect honey.Another beekeeper, who studied the life of the hive more closely, said that the bees collect pollen and nectar for the rearing of the young, for the queen bee, and for the purpose of propagating the species.Botanists have seen that bees fly around and bring different plant pollen to pistils to pollinate the pistils, so they think that bees live to deliver pollen.Another botanist examines the migration of plants, and seeing that the bees assist in this migration, the new investigator may then say that this is the purpose of the bees.But the ultimate purpose of bees is not limited to this, that, third, etc., which can be revealed by human wisdom.The higher the wisdom of human beings in revealing these purposes, the more difficult it is to explain clearly what the ultimate purpose is.

All human beings can understand is to observe the corresponding relationship between the life of bees and other life phenomena.The same is true for the understanding of historical figures and the purpose of activities of the people of various countries.
