Hypatia's two sentences are the best: one is "I believe in philosophy" and the other is "I cannot help but doubt".
Hypatia lives in an age full of anger. Hunger, depression and hurt, pain gives us enough reasons to be angry, but not anger can give us enough reasons not to doubt, or not to doubt our doubts.
A few days ago, I saw three reporters who went to Qinghai to report and posted a photo of them standing in front of the disaster relief tent with a happy expression and a frivolous look on the Internet. Immediately, netizens were angry. As angry as a mother who saw her daughter was gang-raped to death but could not bring the murderer to justice, a reporter who was threatened by text messages when she saw a report on a problem vaccine, saw oil prices, housing prices, traffic, the environment... Yes, maybe we were really angry at one point There is no right, this sudden sense of justice and responsibility, like a cavity of blood, or a pool of sperm that has been held back for a long time. Anger without doubt, as if the ultimate right is determined, without doubting the way of the way. When we saw in the movie, the stones of the locusts in the hands of the jihadists and the hideous faces, but the thousands of bbs message board bricks that seemed familiar.
It was the three reporters who took the group photo. I said their behavior was inappropriate, but perhaps it had nothing to do with their nature. At least they were willing to go to the disaster area where aftershocks continued. This is worthy of respect. Some people say that it is justice for them to go? Does it represent justice XXX and XXX? I said: In the face of disasters like earthquakes, justice has no meaning.
Justice has no meaning in the face of history. Justice without doubt is the fascist execution, the bloodthirsty guillotine, the stone that fell on Hypatia and ended the conjecture of the elliptical orbit of the planet. Justice without doubt is just anger, even passed on anger.
No, I don't think everything is fine and the world is at peace, it's not that our anger is unprovoked and disease-free. But I remember what was said in "Hua Xu's Dream" in "The Twelve Kingdoms", "Nothing can be done with blame." It is so easy to point out faults because we live in faults, but please wonder if the faults we point out can be right because they are pointed out, the opposite is right, and anger is right.
This requires doubt, and doubt makes philosophy. Philosophy was once the essence of religion. Religion leads to belief, but belief is incompatible with doubt. How great as Hypatia, can choose to believe in philosophy. Behind her, Yunyun chose the simpler one, believing in justice and anger.
