Chapter 1347: The meaning of resistance, dialectics of thought

After calling out more than a dozen people's names in a row, each of them looked like someone with a story. And their stories intersected with Steve and changed here, from a possible direction to a tragedy, to a happy ending.

If such things happen in stories and movies, it is natural to be true. But if these happen in reality, it is difficult for people to believe. Because people living in reality know that reality is cruel and powerless. You have no power to change reality, you can only adapt to the changes that reality has brought to you. In this case, tragedy and plainness are the end of most stories.

This is the reason why humans are easily touched by tragedy. No one's life can be as happy as in fairy tales. Only by experiencing bitterness can one empathize with the bitterness in tragedy stories. Only by experiencing pain can one feel the heart-wrenching of the pain caused by others. This is the power of emotion and the nature of human beings. And it is precisely because of this that the stories of these people seem so valuable.

It can be said that everything is because of Steve. His existence changed the lives of these people. It is precisely because of this that everyone here who has received his favor will worship him even more.

Maybe people who have not experienced it will not understand. But if people who have experienced this will know that when you fall deeper and deeper in the most desperate darkness, if someone extends his hand to you, then you can really do everything and even dedicate your life.

These people have this kind of emotions towards Steve now. This is exactly what Steve wants to achieve. Although this goal is not simple, to be honest, Steve enjoys this process very much. Being able to help others and make a person live like a person is a very fulfilling sense of accomplishment in itself.

While he enjoys this kind of worship, he also really helps others with the sense of accomplishment. Of course, at the same time, he is also carrying out his own purpose in an orderly manner. Instilling his own ideas into these special groups, allowing them to have the same beliefs and beliefs as himself. This is what he needs to do, and he has already done a certain amount of results.

"Then we talked about the last topic. Last time we talked about the content of the French literary masterpiece "Les Miserables". Some people bet on their lives for their so-called freedom. At that time, I remember someone asked me why I did this. Is freedom really that important? Even if it is so important, should we really fight for it with a violent way like revolution?"

"I didn't answer this question at that time. Now it's hard for me to tell you the answer to this question. Because this answer does not actually exist, everyone will have their own opinions on such things. But I know one thing, that is, most of you can't accept this view. It's wrong. But I want to tell you that your thoughts are problematic."

After knocking the golden sword in his hand, Steve sat cross-legged. Then he said to the believers below very directly. "Many of you are used to enduring and to surrender. It is as if doing this can change your life. But in fact? Has your life changed? Have you got the life you want? It doesn't seem to be."

"And the French, who were opposite to you, at the cost of sacrifice and revolution, got the results they wanted. They overthrew their emperors, time and time again. No matter how powerful force they used to suppress them, the final result was always the victory of their revolution and free will. They got what they wanted, even if it was not very satisfactory. But they did get it, and what about you?"

Steve's religious assembly is actually more like a large seminar. He asked questions and asked the believers below to answer their own questions. Then he compared his answers to let everyone present see the differences in their thoughts.

Thoughts are like flints, and they can produce sparks when they collide with each other. And the great ideas of ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad are almost all produced in such fierce collisions. Steve does not expect these lower-level civilians who are used to being foolish can produce any great ideas, which is not consistent with his purpose. He only hopes that these people can learn to accept some different ideas, some ideas that are completely different from the ideas they have instilled from their birth to now.

This is his purpose, so he does not care about someone verbally confronting him in this situation. Of course, this was actually difficult at the beginning. Because civilians of low castes have long been accustomed to accepting authoritative ideas, they do not have the concept of confrontation and refutation in their minds. However, when the first person makes an attempt, the situation has changed.

Thoughts cannot be blocked, even if they wrap it tightly, they can always find a way out for themselves. And here, people are gradually accustomed to this special exchange of ideas, and even turn it into a habit. Just like now, as soon as Steve finished speaking, someone straightened his body and retorted loudly at him.

"Saint. We also get what we want, under the leadership of our Mahatma Gandhi."

"Is it a non-violent non-cooperation mode?" Shaking his head, Steve looked straight into the eyes of the speaker and asked back to him. "Do you really think this is something you have won?"

If this person doesn't need to give an answer, he has already expressed his point of view.

"No, I think what you think is fighting is just the alms of others. And the Mahatma you worship is just a ridiculous joke after all."

As soon as this sentence was said, a little commotion occurred in the crowd immediately.

Mohandas Kalamchangd Gandhi, also known as Mahatma Gandhi, the leader of the Indian National Liberation Movement and the leader of the Indian National Assembly Party. In India, his status is high and he is even called the founding father of India. The reason for this is entirely because of the non-violent resistance he advocates. Many people believe that his peaceful and non-violent resistance is a key factor in leading the country to independence and breaking away from British colonial rule. India's current situation is unrelated to his efforts.

So slandering Gandhi is actually no different from slandering India. Even if these people here are dissatisfied with their own country, they still have patriotism in their hearts. It is precisely because of this reason that they become turbulent after Steve finished saying these words.

This is very rare. For Indians who are used to obeying other people's words and respecting Steve in great respect, this is also very dangerous, because once the words are too hot, they may have other ideas about Steve due to ideological opposition.

But Steve didn't care about this situation. He just said without any obstruction.

"Is this resistance not violent and uncooperative resistance? Let other people's swords fall on your body, let other people's bullets penetrate your body, your brain. Let others look at your blood and corpses, and then give up the weapons in their hands because of the so-called sympathy? This is not resistance, this is prayer, it is begging. You have not grasped your own destiny at all, you just handed over your destiny to your enemies."

"In my opinion, the reason why India can be independent is that its relationship with Gandhi is actually very small. If it weren't for Britain's decline after World War II, if it wasn't for the rise of human rights that made the British begin to worry about the colonies. If it wasn't for the fact that Britain and India were too far away, so far that they could basically not maintain complete military power and supply support after the war, India is still a colony of Britain. I think it's more thankful to fate, rather than a cowardly old man who made you beaten to death by others but couldn't even hold your fists!"

"Look at it. How many examples are there in ancient and modern times, and in China and abroad. Human beings want to control their own destiny, but there is no achievement without bloodshed struggle. Other countries are also bleeding, but they are shedding their own blood and the blood of their enemies. And you are also bleeding, but what you are shed is only her own. This is the gap, and this gap is also reflected in the results."

Speaking of this, Steve pointed to the north and said to them in a special tone.

"In this direction, in another country separated from you by a mountain range. In those years, you were actually in a similar situation. Feudalism, coloniality, and the people at the bottom were always exploited. They exhausted every thread of their body and drained every thread of their body. But nothing they got from such efforts was their own. People live without a single person at all. Sometimes they are even more miserable than animals."
