Great men have also been naive and bypassed, so there are so many historical events, and the passage of a feat is so complicated.
Wilberforce was an idealist, thinking that everyone else was just like him. At first, he put his ideals on the pity and morality of the masses. The reason why abolition has so few supporters in Congress has been made clear by that Sir William Dolben:
"If I am the representative of a port city, how can I tell the people I represent that I support cutting them off? lifeline?"
Wilberforce's partners said indignantly: "How can people be mercenary?"
It is human nature to sympathize with the weak, but it is also human nature to be selfish and to pursue interests. Wilberforce and his comrades recognized one kind of human nature, so why ignore the other?
——Because of another ideal that is not conducive to him? When I was a child, I saw a sentence from Lincoln: "I have turned the enemy into my friend, haven't I
destroyed the enemy?"
Treat your enemies with respect, love and reason, and let them agree with you. Turns out I was wrong.
People who become your enemies either have conflicting interests with you, or have unfounded resentment against you, and neither kind of enemy is interested in listening to your explanation. Lincoln wants you to put all your friends in the camp that belongs to the enemy and leave, and let that place become your camp.
Wilberforce and his partners finally changed to besiege Wei to save Zhao, and changed the seats in Congress, and finally achieved their ideal.
No matter how great an ideal is, it is nothing but a game of love and happiness. Before saving the world, you must know the rules of the game.
