Chapter 1778 Seal Four
Temple of rocks.
Instinct is a very magical power!
In this world, every creature has its own instinct. Animals have animal instincts, and plants also have plant instincts...
As the most special one among animals, humans naturally have instincts!
However, compared to animals and plants, human instincts often exist in a hidden way and will not be easily exposed!
The reason is actually very simple...
Because of wisdom!
Yes, wisdom!
Compared with other creatures, the most fundamental reason why humans can become the masters of the earth is that humans have wisdom that other animals and plants cannot reach!
Because of wisdom, human beings can develop their own civilization bit by bit, develop their own technology bit by bit, and establish a human order bit by bit...
The so-called wisdom, in essence, is the most rational and wisest choice and judgment...
This ability is not possessed by other creatures. Because of this, other creatures are at best just creatures and cannot become real life!
In Wang Yu's cognition, the so-called life must have wisdom!
Without wisdom, there is no life!
The most fundamental difference between humans and other animals is actually that they have wisdom!
Because of wisdom, I will think, so I will make a judgment, so I will naturally choose the most beneficial way for myself and my ethnic group to evolve...
Animals will also evolve, seek benefits and avoid harm, but in the absence of wisdom and thinking ability, their evolution is often a very, very slow process. Most of the time, it is just evolution for survival in a simple sense...
However, humans are different!
The evolution of human beings is not just for survival in the simple sense, but more for obtaining better living conditions!
It is because of this that humans fight with beasts, and humans fight with nature. Even because of different ideas, there are various disputes between each other. Therefore, with their own wisdom, the human race becomes stronger little by little...
The survival of wild beasts depends on their own instinct...
In. To be precise, the survival of human beings is actually the same...
In this world, what determines whether a person can survive is always the instinct of this person...
But it's just at the level of survival...
If it is at the level of life, the situation will be completely different!
Life is a state higher than survival. Survival is just to survive, while life represents beauty, comfort and comfort...
If a person wants to survive, he can do everything he can do. He can do whatever he wants to do to survive, and it is blameless...
However, if a person wants to live, he must restrain his instinct!
Because, many times, human instincts are often emotions that are not allowed by social order!
It is because of this that when a person wants to live a good life, he must restrain his instinctive **!
And if you want to restrain a person's instinct, then the best way is to use reason to restrain it!
When a person clearly knows that doing something will not benefit him or that it may have a clear negative impact. This person will restrain his instinctive ** and follow the domination of reason...
And when most people in the entire human community can do this, that is, when human civilization begins to develop...
The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans can use wisdom to restrain their instincts, while animals will only act according to their instincts!
When animals feel tired, they will naturally find a place to sleep. However, when humans fall into fatigue, most people can restrain their fatigue and do what they must do...
Just like many people can study, work, and do all kinds of things they didn't want to do...
Because they know very well that although they don’t want to do these things, these things are tangible benefits for them!
The so-called good medicine is good for the disease, and honest words are good for the ears and actions. That's the reason!
Sometimes bitter medicine is just a good medicine, and although honest words are not good, they are often the truth!
If animals that follow their instincts do not choose to endure hardships. They will only survive comfortably if conditions permit, without any awareness of being prepared for danger in times of peace!
However, humans are different. Even if humans live in a comfortable environment, they will work hard to improve their abilities, and will naturally prepare for the future and be prepared for danger in times of peace!
And this is exactly the biggest place for humans and animals!
Human beings are rational, wise, and have the ability to think!
So they know that what they do is beneficial to them, so even if they suffer a certain amount of pain when doing this, they will be willing to endure it and take responsibility...
On the contrary, animals do not have the ability to think, and all their behaviors are dominated by their instincts. Under such premise, it is difficult for them to generate enough wisdom. Generally speaking, the larger the carnivore, the more the creatures at the top of the food chain, the stronger their own instincts are, and the lower the possibility of generating wisdom!
With the establishment and development of human order, human beings' own wisdom has naturally been greatly improved...
And what is accompanied by the improvement of wisdom is the process of human civilization!
And as human civilization progress becomes higher and higher, human beings' dependence on instincts will gradually become weaker, and their thinking patterns will naturally become more and more rational!
Under this premise, when people encounter problems and troubles, they usually consider gains and losses more carefully, and will not care about some idle things that have nothing to do with them because of a moment of indignation...
Society always attributes this problem to the indifference of people's hearts. In fact, in essence, it should not be said to be indifferent, but rather a manifestation of rationality!
The essence of reason is to follow existing rules and make the optimal choice!
The indifference in modern society is actually a reflection of modern people's rationality!
Just like when a thief steals something, why no one chooses to come forward to stop this behavior?
The reason is very simple...
First, in modern society, most thieves have their own gangs committed crimes. In fact, many of them carry controlled props, which are themselves dangerous and aggressive groups. Offending thieves is a dangerous thing for ordinary citizens...
Second, in the modern judicial system, the act of thieves will almost only be punished with relatively light punishment, which is not enough to curb the criminal behavior of thieves, but will instead increase the hatred of thieves towards the arresters...
Third, if you accidentally cause certain harm to the thief during the process of catching the thief, you may eventually be arrested and detained by the public security organs, and you may even need to compensate some of the property to the thief...
It is because of the above reasons that most people who are rational enough will remain silent when facing thieves. This is not because they are indifferent, but simply because they are very clear about the rules of this society and know very well what kind of trouble they may bring to themselves if they take action impulsively. Not everyone in this world has the spirit of self-sacrifice. So when people become rational, in some so-called sociologists, they are actually the so-called indifference in human hearts!
But essentially, this is not the indifference of the human heart, it is just the indifference of the system. Because the system is too indifferent, the human heart cannot become enthusiastic!
After all, in a country with a sounder rule of law, the more likely it is to be protected by criminal acts...
On the contrary, many times the simpler and rougher the law enforcement agencies are, sometimes the more they can protect the interests of ordinary people...
After all, the moral concepts of most people in this world are linked to the law. They will not do things that cannot be done by the law. If it is something outside the law, as long as it is beneficial to them, they will go without hesitation...
The more reasonable the formulation of the law is, the more consistent the rules and regulations presented will inevitably be with universal moral concepts. On the contrary, if there is a conflict between law and morality, it is often a certain logical error in the formulation of the law...
When people face many emergencies, the first emotion they produce is often human instinct, but with the increase of order power, humans will gradually begin to subconsciously limit their instincts and turn to use rationality to think about ways to solve problems!
Just like when a person sees a thief stealing, his instinct must have wanted to stop the other party. Some people even think about it. The scene of beating the other party and finally becoming a brave man in the situation. However, it is often just a matter of thinking, such thoughts will be completely extinguished and eventually become silent...
Such a change is actually a typical suppression of instinct by reason!
And when such changes increase more, humans gradually lose their instincts and instead start to think about problems with reason...
Of course, for many people, even if they use reason to make all decisions, they will always have more or less errors in judgment...
And sometimes, even if you make a choice based on your instinct, the situation may not necessarily go anywhere...
Therefore, for most ordinary people, the boundary between reason and instinct is often not clear!
Just like beginners in chess games, when they are playing chess, they will naturally make the correct moves when facing familiar layouts. If they are facing unfamiliar layouts, they will subconsciously choose their favorite method to play. If they want to ask why they choose this way, they often cannot explain the actual reason. At best, they just want to play here because they want to play here...
This is a combination of instinct and reason...
The more beginners are, the more instincts they have. Most of these instinct choices will be wrong choices, but there will definitely be no lack of skillful hands that can make the masters shine...
On the contrary, the higher the chess players, the more their rationality will be. They will not choose the next move for any vague reasons. Once they choose to make a move, they will definitely have the reason to choose this move, and they will definitely not simply want to play here, just like this willful idea!
Ordinary people’s occasional success is often just a lucky person, because their success may be just a moment of impulse...
It is absolutely not a lucky chance for successful people to achieve success continuously, because their success often comes from their rationality and thinking. Every success they have enough reason to support them!
The more rational a person is, the more he can control his instincts, and the more likely he is to become a model of the so-called successful person in the eyes of ordinary people!
Their thinking patterns are different from those of ordinary people. Their own physiological symptoms and impulses have long been completely suppressed by reason. They always pursue things that are beneficial to them, rather than things that make them happy!
Just like Murong Fu in the Eight Tribes of the Heavenly Destiny, in order to restore the country, he would rather make his cousin sad than try to marry the Xixia princess who had never been masked. He would rather make himself unhappy in body and mind, and do things that would allow him to go further away from his goal...
Although he failed in the end, his behavior was actually very rational!
Of course, it was because he was too rational that when he finally failed, his reason completely collapsed and went crazy because of this. His instinct, his dream of becoming an emperor suddenly broke out and he became a madman...
