Chapter 117 Chapter 16 Breaking out of the trap of human nature

In stark contrast to General Songpo, Duan Qirui always had the moral upper hand in this secret battle. When General Cai E entered Beijing, he certainly didn't expect that he would fight Duan Qirui, and Duan Qirui probably didn't have this idea either.But when Yuan Shikai changed troops and was about to replace Cai E with Duan Qirui's army chief, it would be really unreasonable if the two didn't fight each other. As far as Duan Qirui is concerned, he may not care about the chief of the army, but he cannot accept Cai E who has nothing to do with Beiyang.As far as Cai E is concerned, he may not be rare for this official position, but he cannot bear the calculations of villains from front, back, left, and right.

Neither can accept the other, which makes it difficult to work together. Next, Duan Qirui sat firmly in Beijing and became the political center against the imperial system, but Yuan Shikai had nothing to do with him.However, the kind and wise General Cai Ecai has inexplicably become a running dog of the imperial system. This makes General Songpo get up in the middle of the night, and he will definitely cry until dawn. What's the matter?General Cai E couldn't figure it out and fell into depression. At this time, Liang Qichao came quickly and told Cai E: Yes, you are right, you have not taken a wrong step.But it is precisely because you are right that you are so wrong.You are wrong because you do not understand the laws of human nature. You think that the laws of human nature do not change, as long as you follow the trend of the times, you are definitely right.But this trend is going against your thinking. When you are working hard to move forward, the trend suddenly turns around and goes in the opposite direction, and you will be trapped in an unjust place all at once.

So, how to get out of this predicament? The answer is one word: change! Society is changing, trends are changing, people's value orientation is changing, and even the standards of right and wrong, good and evil are also changing.The rules are changing, the scenery is changing, if you don't change, you will be doomed. Are you changing or not? So here, we can finally make a fair evaluation of General Cai's signature on the persuasion form. General Cai's signature on the persuasion form is absolutely correct, which just proves that General Cai knows the truth, repays the kindness, and has an open and heroic mind, which is admirable.

Afterwards, General Cai fled, went to Yunnan via Japan, and took the lead in raising the flag to rebel against Yuan.General Cai is right because he only knows about the country, but not himself, and he is dedicated to serving the people and the country, which is why he has won the respect of future generations. However, signing a letter to persuade people to advance and mobilizing troops to rebel against Yuan are clearly contradictory, so what do you say? These two things are by no means contradictory.What is contradictory is the world, or in other words, what is contradictory is human society.What dominates human society is the twisting law of human nature. This law means that everything in human society is twisting with your thinking.You thought it was right to do so, but society suddenly turned around, and you were wrong.You are right and you are wrong, but you are always you, there is no distinction between right and wrong, it is the twisting law of society that traps you in an unjust place.

When you are a spear, the whole society is a shield, which brings out your aggressiveness and brutality.You are forced to make yourself a shield, and when you become a shield, you are surprised to find that the whole society is a spear, and they will stab you madly, stab you half to death and blame you for lack of wolf nature, who do you want to ask for reason? go? In fact, you are neither a spear nor a shield, you are always the same you.It is the society that has become a spear, reducing you to a shield; it is the society that has become a shield, reducing you to a spear. In a word, General Cai respects love privately and repays righteousness publically. He is always himself and has never changed.What has changed is this weird world.

All in all, General Cai E is finally a figure at the top of the intellectual pyramid, coupled with the careful guidance of Liang Qichao, a master of half-baked thoughts, this allowed General Cai to break out of the trap of human nature, regain his freedom, and finally won the respect of later generations . This twisting law of human nature constitutes a terrible trap of human nature, and very few people can escape from this trap.All because we don't know the existence of this trap. But now, we know.
