Chapter 1924 Order Nine
Temple of rocks.
When everything a person relies on for his life becomes meaningless in an instant...
This person will naturally collapse in belief!
This has nothing to do with whether a person is strong enough or whether a person is rational enough...
No matter how perfect the order is, it is impossible to avoid this situation!
The reason is very simple, because any order, in essence, can only be internal rather than external...
In a world of order, everything is naturally in order, but for the world outside the world of order, order becomes meaningless. For the disputes arising from the inside, order can be easily calmed down, but for the invasion from the outside, order is meaningless!
Just like a war period...
For the invaders, all the people in the invaded country, theoretically, no matter what their identity and status they once had, they are ultimately just objects of their own plunder. Their wealth, their dignity, their wives and daughters are just spoils after all. The original order will no longer exist when they are invaded, and will be replaced by a completely different new order...
Of course, the order change produced by war is only a physical change, but the effect of this change on the human heart is still limited. This is why since ancient times, every destroyed dynasty has always had loyal and loyal existences who want to restore the dynasty, because the changes in dynasties and the changes in rules cannot really change their original hearts. As long as the spirit exists, they will tirelessly find all ways to realize their wishes...
But the true collapse of faith is a force directed at the hearts of the people!
That is a kind of destruction of cognition itself!
In the change of the country, the vast majority of ordinary people, even if they are struggling for a while, they will always accept such a setting. People like those who are about to die if the country is destroyed are only a few of them...
The human heart is the most determined thing in the world, but the human heart is also the easiest thing to change in the world!
Many times, gains and losses are actually just a matter of one's heart...
However, if even the heart itself is destroyed, then the situation is completely different!
Just like in the real world, if most ordinary people know the existence of the awakened ones, it will definitely cause a devastating blow to the order of the entire ordinary human society!
This order is not only based on various rules in the material world, but also on the values deep in everyone’s heart!
The existence of the awakened person will undoubtedly break the values that many people have adhered to for a long time...
In a sense, the existence of the awakened person can be said to be at another level compared to ordinary people...
Low-level awakened people may not be much stronger than ordinary people. Once the army gathers together, they can easily kill them. The extraordinary abilities they possess are just in a state of being a trick and superpower...
However, there is a natural difference between them and ordinary people!
Because they have room for growth that ordinary people are far from having!
As long as time allows and as long as they work hard enough, they can become much stronger than ordinary people, and even reach a level that is almost inhuman!
Such powerful power can be said to have exceeded the real world's perception of values!
In the real world, people's values are generally clear. What kind of things, what value they have, how much effort they put in, how much gain they can get. There is always a criterion between gains and losses to judge whether they have done it right or wrong...
For example, many people often compare age and wealth to determine whether a person is successful. What age and what kind of wealth he has are ordinary. If he exceeds this number, he is a relatively successful person. If he does not meet this standard, he will be below the average level...
Wealth, power, appearance, education, health, influence, etc. can all be used as a criterion for measuring value...
Just like many magazines will ask people to rate their boyfriends or girlfriends. Whatever the standard is, even if they meet, they can finally calculate what score level their boyfriends or girlfriends are...
In most cases, wealth is often one of the main criteria for measuring whether a person is valuable, and all other criteria can actually be converted through wealth...
And this is where the order of the real world lies!
However, extraordinary power is something beyond normal values!
In the real world, force cannot give a person extra points, even if it is extra points, it will not add many points...
Just like on a blind date show, whether a man knows martial arts or has muscles in his body will certainly affect the female guest's appreciation of this person. Men who know how to use kung fu and have strong muscles in their body will of course give extra points in choosing a mate. This is also the instinct of all animals. When choosing a mate, they always tend to choose those opposite sexes with strong bodies or beautiful bodies...
However, humans are not animals in the ordinary sense. Most people will not have much demand for the opposite sex in terms of body shape or strength...
Simply put, having meat is of course a good thing, but it will not become the main criterion for evaluating a person...
Many girls will say that my boyfriend has good kung fu, and he can protect me when he encounters danger in the future...
But in fact, most girls actually disagree with this statement in their hearts. After all, in the real world, when a person is in danger, there are often very few people. Although news about natural disasters and man-made disasters are found almost every day, after all, it is also based on the huge population base. The possibility of an ordinary person encountering danger in his daily life can be said to be very low, low enough to ignore...
In a world of civilized order, violence is actually almost ineffective...
Many times, violence can often cause a lot of trouble...
It is because of this that force is actually an optional attribute in modern society. Only when self-defense is needed can the attribute of force be used. Even when self-defense is possible, most people will not use force easily, because self-defense itself is an act that is difficult to measure. Once force is used, whether it is considered self-defense is actually a decision by oneself...
It can be said that in the order of modern society, force itself in a simple sense is actually meaningless. After all, no matter how powerful an individual's force is, it is impossible to exceed the scope of guns and gunpowder!
As long as force cannot overcome the force of firearms, as long as individual force cannot exceed the force of law enforcement departments, then this force itself will not have any value...
As for the help that martial arts practice brings to strengthening the body, it is even more slim. It is undeniable that martial arts practitioners will have a better body than ordinary people, but compared to the hard work required to practice martial arts, these benefits are far less valuable than making money!
In fact, this is also the value of most people!
Health is very important, longevity is very important, but under the premise that health and longevity cannot be completely guaranteed, making money is the most practical and valuable behavior...
After all, money may not be able to buy health, but it can at least resist part of the risks from diseases. When you are troubled by illness, having money in your hands and not in your hands is often two completely different mentalities and conditions. The former often does not need to worry too much, because when there is no economic pressure, there will naturally be no burden on the psychological level. When people are relaxed, their problems will naturally be easier to cure. Even if they cannot be cured, they are often easier to control. On the contrary, for the poor, diseases are a double torment on the economic and psychological levels. Spending money is a bottomless pit, but it is impossible to say it. Therefore, they can only choose to carry out medical treatment in debt, and always bear heavy psychological and economic pressure. In the end, it is difficult to have good results...
However, if the existence of the awakened person is well known, it is enough to subvert the standard constructed by most people to measure whether a person is valuable by wealth and whether he is considered a successful person...
Because the power of awakened people is enough to cross the critical point of order and reach a real level of freedom!
They do not need to abide by the law or various systems. They can obtain wealth that ordinary people cannot get in their lifetime and enjoy privileges that ordinary people cannot get in their lifetime. They can even kill ordinary people...
Even if they don't do that, the oppression that ordinary people creates is real...
Just like a superhero in American comics...
When people encounter evil, they naturally hope that superheroes will stand up...
However, if superheroes are too powerful, even beyond human scope, they will reject superheroes...
After all, no matter how evil the existence is, the police and the army can always settle it. It just needs to pay some price and make some sacrifices. However, the existence of people like superheroes has exceeded the scope that order can accommodate, especially some of the abilities are strong enough to ignore all technology. Such people, even if they are kind and just, will still be rejected by ordinary people...
The most fundamental reason why Zorro or Robin Hood is loved is actually because although they do some things to do to eliminate violence and maintain good fortune, they are essentially just ordinary people...
They represent the class of ordinary people and the interests of ordinary people...
They don’t have any extraordinary abilities, they just have better skills than ordinary people, that’s all!
So they can get the recognition of ordinary people!
On the contrary, the omnipotent existence like Superman will not have too much favor. After all, this existence is beyond people's cognition. Such existence itself is a natural threat to human beings!
The strong actually poses a threat to the weak, no matter whether the strong man is kind or malicious, or has no intention at all...
However, the threat itself will not change!
Just like the elephant itself is an animal with a relatively docile personality, but for ordinary people, elephants are still very dangerous. They will not reduce the potential threat of such elephants to humans because of their docile personality. After all, the gap in body shape is enough for elephants to easily crush humans...
