Chapter 259: Imposed vs. Voluntary
"How can I impose this?" Min Shigong anxiously defended: "If everyone is like you, the world will not be chaotic?" This, this, this? Let women raise their children and offspring, support the elderly, and pay taxes. This, this, this? How could this woman do it? What an embarrassment! Where can a woman's thin body work? ”
"What you want others to do and what you don't want others to do is imposing! Impose values, impose will! You! Seeing Min Shigong's serious and anxious appearance, Le Ge deliberately angered him and teased him.
Watching the nerd get angry, he thought it was funny! Makes the nerd angry, he thinks it's funny. It's true! There is the meaning of watching monkeys play.
"So what do you say?" Min Shigong asked rhetorically, "Can you let others live ignorant like that?" Is it just for you to live selfishly like this? You are happy outside, and you let women give you children and raise your children and offspring? Are you human? Are you a man? ”
"Why did you get on me again? Isn't this the case in this society? Does a woman provide for her offspring? Taxes are also borne by women? Isn't this a universal social phenomenon? Isn't it? Men basically have to go to military service, don't they? Where are the many men farming at home? Isn't it? ”
Talking! Le Ge looked at Min Shigong with an innocent face.
Confucius sat on the side and still didn't speak, didn't look at the two of them. But! But the ears were listening to the two of them. It was clear that he did not want to participate in the debate.
"Aren't all the handicrafts in the bazaar, inns, restaurants, wine shops, and so on? Where are men required to do military service? You can talk about military service! ”
"Then you say! How many men did not go to military service? How many men go to military service? You said? Le Ge asked.
"Half of it! Half and half! Min Shigong thought for a while and said.
"Half and half?" Le Ge testified: "Half and half is a peaceful and prosperous world!" Not half of it! After a big war, there will be a full conscription. When the time comes! In addition to the nobles and those special craftsmen, the shopkeepers and men, as long as they were men, had to go to military service. Unless! You can afford to be exempt from military service! Otherwise! You can't avoid it! Unless you're going abroad! You can't go abroad! Other countries are also recruiting for war! What do you think? ”
"How did you get involved in military service?"
"How did you get involved in military service?"
Min Shigong and Le Ge said almost at the same time.
"Doesn't that mean that women raise their children, support their elders, and pay taxes?" Confucius prompted.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Min Shi Gong replied and said.
"It's not! He said I don't raise children, isn't it a man? I said that this society is not like this, so it is related to military service! "The music should be harmonious.
"I accused him of not raising his children, of taking care of himself, and of shirking tasks and responsibilities to women. He said I impose the will, what values do I impose! I don't know what values are? Min Shigong looked at Confucius and said.
It was evident from his expression that he was asking for support and hoped that Confucius would help him speak.
Regarding values, Min Shigong naturally doesn't understand! Values, as well as the imposition of the word, were transmitted to him by Lege and Confucius.
Confucius didn't know what values were at first, but he only learned about them after Brother Fang's explanation.
Values are a modern word, and there was no such word at that time. So! Confucius and Min Shigong naturally didn't understand it when they heard it for the first time.
"Until now! Mr. Min! You still don't admit that you are imposing values, imposing will? Isn't it? You have to be like you, aren't you imposing on others? Isn't it? You must have others like you, is it called imposition and coercion? Isn't it? Do you impose your values on others? Isn't it? ”
"Me?" Min Shigong stalked his neck and defended: "I'm not doing this for your good? ”
"Are you good for me? I want you to be good for me? You're doing me a wreck! Good for me? You call imposing values! You? You let me be your shadow? Isn't it? ”
"Me? Am I not for the good of this society? What if everyone was like you? Still messed up? Isn't it? How do you let women live? Women are also human beings, huh? Do you let them live so tired, do you bear to live so freely? Do you have a conscience? You? ”
"That's all wishful thinking! Mr. Min! ”
"Hey, hey! He called me Mr. Min! But he doesn't think of me as a gentleman at all! It's just screaming! Hey! ”
"You call it relying on the old and selling the old!"
"How can I call the old man and sell the old?"
"You think about it, don't you? Mr. Min? I respect you as a gentleman, but you really think of yourself as a gentleman. Do you think you're pretty good? Mr. Min! Isn't it? You can't listen to other people's words? Isn't it? This is relying on the old and selling the old! ”
"You?"
"Lege!" Confucius shouted. "You can't treat Mr. Min like this!"
"It's not! I would have respected him a lot! I've always respected him! But? He's just going to impose on me! Educate me! Femdom me! He still doesn't admit his mistakes, he doesn't admit that he is imposed! ”
"Isn't Mr. Min good for you? No, no, no! Confucius changed his words and said, "Mr. Min is kind!" He hopes that everyone in this society will be considerate of others! Like you! You have to forgive the woman too! It's not right for you to sow seeds for women outside, but you don't raise children! Isn't it? ”
"Me?" Le Ge said angrily: "You are the same as Mr. Min!" ”
"Mr. Min is my husband!"
"No wonder! You two puff out of one nostril! One of them! ”
"Am I not?" Confucius endured his anger and patiently explained: "I admit that we are imposing our will and imposing the values of others!" But we mean it! We want this society to get better! Songs! You know what I mean? ”
"I don't understand!"
"Many people in this world are ignorant! If we don't train them and impose their values, they won't know what life is! ”
"You're smart!"
"You? You just raise the bar! Confucius said angrily.
"I'm not raising the bar! You think you're too smart! Treat others as stupid and ignorant! Isn't it? I have no problem with you going to train ignorant people! I'm not against it! You take everyone for foolishness! That's your fault! ”
"Me? Where am I taking everyone for foolishness? ”
"You treat those who do not accept your values as ignorant people! So! You also think of me as a fool! You? ”
"You?" Confucius trembled with anger at what Le Ge said, and looked at Le Ge.
"Look! You see! You see! Rotten wood cannot be carved! Min Shigong said angrily.
"Impose values! If others don't accept it, he can't stand it! He also said that others are rotten wood that cannot be carved, and the wall of dung cannot be destroyed! It's all swearing! You don't accept and contradict him, and he says you don't love! There is no great love in the world! Selfish! Wait a minute! Buckle the big hat! Hey! Hold the banner of great love in the world and impose others everywhere to accept their values! ”
"Then you say! What to do? Confucius asked patiently.
"Voluntary!" Lege replied. "Ask others to accept it voluntarily! And not forced to accept! ”
"Will you accept it voluntarily?"
That means you may be wrong! If it's right, why wouldn't anyone else accept it? Isn't it? ”
"You?" Min Shigong shouted angrily: "We want peace in the world, is it wrong? ”
"Who doesn't want peace on earth?"
"You?"
"We all have our own methods! Don't worry about it! ”
"You?"
