There is a story about love and reason in the notes of Yuewei Caotang. A child bride was always beaten, scolded and bullied by her aunt, and finally ran home unbearably. Her mother hid her so that her in-laws couldn't find her. The husband's family refused to give up, so they sued the government, and the government invited the old man next door to the child's house. Make this clear. The old man saw with his own eyes that Tong Yang daughter-in-law ran back to his house, but he also knew that Tong Yang daughter-in-law was tortured at her in-law's house. How should he choose? What if it was you?
As mentioned earlier, human feelings always encourage goodness. If rational laws conflict with human feelings, can we say that there is a conflict between law and goodness? In this case, should the law be adjusted appropriately? Just like the case of the child bride, does the child bride deserve to be beaten, scolded and bullied? If there is no corresponding system to protect them, more child brides will run back to their parents' homes to hide. . If our laws can be improved step by step in this way, then this society will not need to undergo too serious changes.
In fact, in American society, the improvement of the law has been done quite well, so we will find that it has not undergone major institutional changes for more than 200 years, and it seems that it is always making small repairs. If you carefully understand its history, you will find that the power of the President of the United States was very large at the beginning, and later through institutional improvements such as expanding the power of the justices (and therefore the so-called separation of powers was really realized, it turned out that only the president and the Congress had power), thus restricted the president. Then until Roosevelt's New Deal era, the president gave himself more real power by expanding the scope of government power, but it was not too obvious at the time. Later, through the efforts of Truman Reagan and other previous presidents, in the Bush era, the power of the president almost reached its peak...... It's far away, but I just want to say that even in a country like the United States, which is very sophisticated in self-evolution and perfection, in love and law There are so many struggles between them. Fortunately, they can always quickly find mistakes and improve after struggling - it's a process. We don't even have the process, let alone the result.
The old man didn't tell the truth in the end.
