I do not understand

Is my IQ not enough or my brain has been completely and cleanly repaired, I am puzzled.
A long time ago, a companion of mine who usually seemed to be a maverick told me that he believed that people who were officials in ancient times must have gray income. If there is no gray income, why did people seek that occupation? I was suddenly confused. Yes, I used to be the most disgusted with corrupt officials, but it seems to be true. In such a position, I have to bear a lot of psychological pressure every day. Be careful not to use measurement. If you can't get used to it by a grassroots who pursues fairness and justice and has the ability to lead, it will definitely make trouble. Is it easy to be an official? Why is it that people are not allowed to covet wealth when they are under such pressure? If there is no gray income, who will become an official?
After that time, I became confused. I was a bit confused between right and wrong, and I didn't understand why I had to think about right and wrong and then choose a certain position to stand and show my position. That is to say, I watched "1984" at this juncture, and the whole world was in chaos. Who knows whether the right is right and the wrong is wrong, and who can explain the concept of "right" and "wrong" concept? Who can guarantee that the values ​​right and wrong that they have mastered are not brewed in a very controlled environment? Is what we believe to be right by certain powerful organizations or individuals through various means to convince us? Is the world we know completely detached from its original state? "I know what I should do, but I don't know why?" I think this problem is enough to trouble some people for a long time, or even a lifetime, so people are reluctant to face this problem.
Too much praise, too much support, too much sympathy. There should be many people who watch this film because they watched it because they saw a good rating. They knew it was good before watching it, and they would say it after watching it. Yes, give a five-star, give a compliment, and then spend a few hours reflecting on it, maybe even not paying attention to what you are thinking, but to see what others are thinking. Fortunately, I have an explanation for my IQ, and I don't want to admit that I am actually quite ignorant (in fact, I always do this).
I am not in that environment so I can hardly understand it, because in our environment, a lot of information is obtained for free, but there are still many people who go to lawsuits to protect copyrights. Of course, some of us here have never browsed a webpage that Americans browse for free in their entire lives, let alone spend money to browse it. People around me may not even be interested in the information at all. They don’t care about knowledge that doesn’t improve their scores, knowledge that will not affect their careers, and even powerless to think and appreciate, because in this world, the Internet is often just It is a tool for entertainment and shopping, and few people use it to gain knowledge. Since the information people here want to obtain is what the powerful people behind want us to obtain, it is easy for us to obtain information, and few people feel unfair.
So when I saw this documentary, I was very weak and confused. "Make the world a better place"? If you don't know what is good, you can't make the world better, because I can't judge right from wrong, so I feel powerless with this sentence and can't resonate. I know we have the right to have knowledge, we have the right to know what is hidden behind the giant screen, and we have the right to break unfair things. The things recorded in this film are absolutely extraordinary, but I don’t know what spirit it can give me, because I have been trapped in chaotic contradictions. The compilation of knowledge, discoverers, and creators of art need remuneration. And royalties, those disseminators of knowledge need wages to support their families, knowledge can be shared, that is in a beautiful world, and this idea is overly optimistic, because knowledge sharing that really does not need to think about interest disputes is now full of this Greed and profiteering are impossible in a world.
Aaron, you want us to choose how to use this network environment. I envy you for having your own firm stand and beautiful yearning. And the beauty you yearn for is not open to the current world, because only when the people here have enough awareness and good morals can it be realized, but now, all I can read is confusion and regret.
