Have a dream

"This world will always change."
"Unless we change it (it won't change by itself).... Don't you believe that you and I can change it?"

Suddenly I seemed to be inspired by something.

In this world, there are always some idealists. They pursue justice, they sympathize with the weak, they want to eliminate inequality, they want everyone to live freely, and they want every life to be respected.
What they are fighting against is the power of the world. When they speak generously, people will only regard him as an inexperienced nonsense. The reality told him coldly that if we abolish slavery, the plantations will lose output, the country will lose its fighting power, and the French will set foot on our land-are you going to trample on this land that produces you?
Those meager support is not enough to make them contend with the limitations of history, and the enthusiasm of the followers is not enough to support them in the hopeless struggle-so I finally prefer a cynic, when I can't help, please stop here and stop talking.

This country-I mean the celestial dynasty-has never lacked "ideals". From ancient times to the present, it is the repeated "ideal" that has contributed to the continuous cycle of history-yes, "reincarnation". Why not "progress"? This is because those "idealists" lack "putting themselves in place," lack "consistent words and actions," and lack "procedural justice." So they are not "idealists", they are just "ambitionists", leading the change of dynasties and sacrificing the people of Li people.

When you talk about ideals, do you really understand the price of ideals? Without the slave plantation, it would decline, and the liberation of the blacks does not mean freedom and respect. Do you really accept these? Even if you accept, and most of the other people do not accept the limitations of history, are you patient enough? Do you really believe that your power is pushing history forward even if it does not receive immediate results? ——Do you believe that if you want a stormy change, it is not really good for society? The drastic changes that exceed the understanding and acceptance of the general public, and the drastic changes that exceed the digestive capacity of society, are in fact nothing but the destruction of civilization-just like all the storms in the celestial dynasty that continue to reincarnate, sweeping this land of forbearance time and time again, time and time again. Refreshing the memory of the people’s history, what we have done is to push the careerist to the position of power and restart the next tragic cycle.

So I always want to praise idealists, but I want to dike revolutionaries even more. The difference is that the former does not force everyone to have the same ideals as him, and does not want to shape the entire society according to his own vision. And the latter will. The latter has to break the social status quo, the existing order and law, no matter whether it is procedural justice or not, but to shape a new society of result justice according to its own standards-and the result is often counterproductive.

Therefore, the two are not contradictory, are they, the appreciation of idealists, and the yearning for liberalism.
Perhaps, I can also be an idealist myself, if it is not counterproductive due to the influence of utopia. When I want to change such a country where people are out of touch with society, I am just a dreamer. A dreamer who needs to believe in his own power and meaning, and a dreamer who believes that this society will eventually become better.

At the end of last year, Liang Xiaoyan came to give a speech. The venue was specially selected in the Student Union of the Chinese University. The room was small and crowded. The organizer said it was because of the incident 22 years ago, when the student union discussed and decided on action support at this location. It was a tearful speech, or rather, an exchange. Ms. Liang shared her various efforts to promote civil society, her thoughts and actions after the incident, and the path taken by the Friends of Nature. A classmate asked, if I said I was going to build a civil society, my dad would definitely find me inexplicable. Ms. Liang said that everyone does what they want to do, together, it is the result of society; there is no specific path that this society must take, and what will everyone's behavior together be? The result is actually accidental and destined.
In fact, this is also a kind of liberalism, just like Hayek's theory of self-organization. What's the contradiction?

"When you stop running, why do you only feel the thorns on the soles of your feet?"

Although I sternly explained such a large number of illogical divergent thinking... Actually, I only intended to see BC, isn't it?
Love a person with positive energy.
For me, BC is it. So I felt that I would love him forever, it would be very simple.
In these low days, I plugged my earphones and ran, BC laughed or whispered in my ears, and accompany me to run 10,000 meters in one breath.
After stopping, I learned that my knee hurts and my joints have never been good. And this kind of "self-abuse" can make me feel in control of my life.
What can you control? You can control what you are going to do, what can you change?
So I need to figure this out. I want to understand that I have to be more courageous to stick to my beliefs; to be more confident and to recognize the meager power; to be more patient, to wait for the qualitative change that will eventually occur.

Have sustenance. For example BC. Such as our dreams.
