When life is extremely difficult, education is lacking, and life is blocked, the only three sources of philosophy of life are: first, ancestral rules (also unable to distinguish right from wrong); second, survival skills in a situation where the source of life is extremely limited; The spirit of self-sacrifice caused by nasty" love.
And this extreme lack of living resources and lack of knowledge and education lead to selfishness and cruelty. Extreme cruelty to others and extreme love for one's own family. Villagers who have an impact on their own interests can be buried alive, or they can sacrifice themselves for the sake of their own mouths.
There is no peach blossom garden in the world, and the whole world is driven by the word "benefit", and this "benefit" mostly refers to "benefiting oneself or one's own people". Or attaining Buddhahood as a reward for ultimate benefit, in the final analysis there is really no real selflessness.
The so-called civilized procedures and high personal quality are only different in the ability to understand right and wrong and the ability to forbear.
Farmers, businessmen, white-collar politicians, actors, Europe, America, Africa, China and India are all just different expressions due to different customs, education, rich and poor, and their own behaviors and ideas. Different procedures are pretentious. People of the same class with similar backgrounds have their unspoken rules, just like the mountain village in the movie.
When you want to criticize the cruelty of stoning in the Middle East, why don't you think that you just throw an extra stone at people to kill them in a different way. Do you have this kind of rabble-like mentality? Should be vigilant.
When we realize that all countries in the world are different only in form, and more of the same is the human heart and the pursuit of profit. There is nothing to discriminate against others, and there is nothing to feel superior. If you begin to know how to be vigilant about your own inferiority, and realize your mistakes when you begin to discriminate, you will make progress.
