The silent majority and the mischievous

Dostoevsky believed that a man can only begin to be a man when he is aware of his own sins.

We blame the government's inaction, the social darkness, the system, and the sinister people, but what about ourselves? More or less dirty too. Corrupt and mediocre officials are not something they can become, but they are condoned by thousands of people and raised by us.

Most of us, the most common thing to do is to complain and then resign. Like the woman who was raped, most of us were exploited, deceived, fooled, all we would do is yell at home and tell everyone on the Internet that the country is over, rotten, but we will do What to change? No, it won't, because I think it's the cockroach that shakes the tree. We laughed at the party membership of corrupt officials and slandered communism, while knowing nothing about the system of this country itself. We will say to those who say ''You do this worthy of the revolutionary ancestors? '' people scoffed and called them little pinks, Red Guards, but we forgot what price these people who were forgotten by us paid for our present freedom, we are ungrateful.

We look at the glory that Westerners have used for hundreds of years and tens of thousands of people to censor their hometown and everyone except themselves. We praise the Japanese for being polite, we praise the Russians for their courage, we praise the British for their self-discipline, and we praise the Americans for their creativity. It's too general, so a Chinese is rotten, and all Chinese people are such rotten people.

The elites saw it, and those who wanted to change became silent or were killed together after witnessing the fate of their companions.

Where is our way out?

The way out lies within ourselves.

One person who wants to shake a big tree is not enough, then one hundred, ten thousand. After all, one death is trivial, and eight hundred deaths are only able to cause action.
