The collapse of the world outlook under the impact of contradictions

Two characters: Ye Shenyue and Lelouch, remind me of iron-blooded heroes and dictators who trample on the blood and tears of thousands of ordinary people to become heroic emperors, such as Alexander, Napoleon, Hitler...


(1) They wield unity The world is the banner of creating a perfect new world, but it is difficult to conceal the sins under the banner of justice... What they want to create is the happiness of all living beings or the reflection of the absolute will of the individual's subjective world?
Let alone admit the feasibility of the new world, how many people’s will and beliefs will be destroyed (such as the people who have been invaded and trampled, the people who have been conquered), and how many lives and the price of blood and tears will be paid. )?
And is there a legitimate and human reason for launching the road of Shura that destroys the original world form (Bo Yi and Shu Qi resolutely rejected Wu Wang's "use violence to control violence, I don't know what is wrong")? Will the happiness of the people be destroyed for the happiness of the people in the new world? Can humanity be wiped out by unscrupulous means for the sake of purpose?


(2) Do we need a savior (I said this has nothing to do with "The Matrix", it has nothing to do with the "Bible")? Is it because of aversion to the darkness and filth of today's society, or because of the need for absolute fairness and obedience to a person or an absolute center of power?
Or is it based on the personal will of a person who pretends to be a god (just as Ye Shenyue controls the death note), which in itself is the greatest irony and injustice to the fate of mankind?


(3) Does the savior really exist?
In order to prevent the slack of spirit and aimless life, we can establish faith in God, or use other things (such as family, career, art (Schopenhauer recommends everyone to pursue art, and our Chinese students really have Vision) and dreams are the core of values ​​and the direction of life's hard work.
In order to prevent the collapse of the social system (the Confucian concept of social morality) based on the complex relationship between human relations and to take care of the interests of the vast majority of people, we must have a strong political leadership core (resolutely support the Party Central Committee!), but reject dictatorship, because We can't believe that there is an absolute perfection and justice force. What's more, the more centralized the power, the easier it is for the individual's sanity to decline (everybody knows the evil consequences of the cult of personality: the personal expansion of Hitler, Stalin, and Mao Zedong is a classic example). ——In a nutshell, we, who are accustomed to doubt and self-centeredness, cannot believe in the existence of the savior (comrades, please sing the Internationale!).


(4) They are not the savior, they can only be regarded as "superman" at best.
Nietzsche believed that the purpose of life is to realize the will to power, expand oneself, and become the superman who controls everything. Superman is the highest value of man. The reason why man is valuable is that he is the fertilizer for cultivating superman and the tool to realize the will to power. On the other hand, Superman should despise all traditional moral values, transcend all traditional standards of good and evil and moral requirements, do whatever he wants, and realize himself by hurting and enslaving the weak and gangsters (much like the style of Ye Shenyue and Lelouch) .
Perhaps this is the philosophical soil of iron-blooded power? The conclusion drawn from the rational analysis of hero worship for thousands of years? The French people's pride when they mentioned Napoleon, the Chinese people's blood boiled when they mentioned Genghis Khan (we hit xxx all the way at the beginning)? The audience psychology of Hitler's biography? The grand Japanese "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Circle"? Why are the black-bellied male protagonists such as Ye Shenyue and Lulu Xiu in power?

Li Zongwu summed up the successes and failures of the monarchs in the past and believed that the way to victory lies in the thick and black, and we must be good at exploiting and deceiving. Therefore, there is a clear distinction between becoming a big business and being a chess piece (both blame us for being too kind~)


remembering Luc Besson's "Joan of Arc", Joan was ultimately destroyed by her own collapsed worldview. When Hitler was surrounded and ruined, he committed suicide in despair and tragically. Ye Shenyue never dreamed that her name would be written on the death note. What about Lelouch? Can it not be stopped by external forces? Can you escape the fate of being destroyed in mental torture? Is it possible to become dominant? Why did I smell the tragedy? ——Those who follow this path, even if they can succeed, will never be happy.

I'm an ordinary person, and I'm the kind of impatience and ambition. I have a relatively normal view of the world, so don’t worry, I still have the possibility of getting happiness, ooh~ It’s the first time I found out that being an ordinary person is great!
Finally, I add that I love Lulu very much~!

    CLAMP's comics were my favorite when I was a girl, and lasted until the end of junior high school. Standing alone from the standpoint of anime, the picture quality is very good. Four stars were given based on the above two points. Watched 23 episodes. The content is inevitably old-fashioned, always reminiscent of "Death Note". However, the personnel involved are vast and complicated. If you want to tell it completely, it should be a generous story. I hope it's not anticlimactic like "The Story of Caiyun Kingdom".
