Father Mavie

Chapter 200 Happiness and Truth (Please Subscribe!!!)

"Please have some tea."

"Thank you."

In the dim living room, Christopher made several cups of black tea and brought them to the tea table.

Of course Christopher knew, or knew the identity of Mavi. He was also there when His Royal Highness Katerina chose the Church of Truth. In the evening, he saw Katerina and Mavi getting off the same carriage. Of course, he could recognize it at a glance. the other party's identity.

In all fairness, the relationship between the church and the church is a competitive relationship. It is not surprising that anything is done in order to compete for believers, but Christopher still let Mawei come in.

Besides wanting to hear what Mavie was going to say, he...
There are other calculations.

Christopher sat on the sofa opposite, glanced at Levin, Dino, and Edward, and after seeing that none of them had any intention of speaking, he looked at Ma Wei.

"Father Marvie, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Mr. Christopher, may I ask your church, what is the definition of happiness?"

definition?

Christopher frowned, not knowing what Mavi wanted to do, but he still said: "Of course happiness refers to a sense of satisfaction. Different people have different feelings and acceptance levels for different things, so I think happiness is a relatively general word. There is no exact standard meaning, if you insist on giving a category, it is probably the pleasant psychology when you are satisfied."

"Just like some people think that as long as they can marry a virtuous wife and have a child, they are happy, and some people think that they are happy if they can fill their stomachs. Even a homeless person on the street will feel happy because of a trivial thing. to happiness."

"Happiness does not distinguish between classes, rich or poor, and is something that everyone can touch."

"Something that everyone can touch." Ma Wei nodded, "That's right."

"Father Marvie, do you wish to be happy?"

Christopher asked: "If you want to be happy, I will be happy to explain more theories about happiness to you, including these gentlemen. You are all potential happiness gainers. You only need to be guided to find that happiness is actually by my side."

Is this trying to influence us?Let us believe in the happy church?

Levin and the others looked at each other, smiled, and said nothing.

"Mr. Christopher, I really appreciate and like your understanding and definition of happiness." Ma Wei said with a smile: "But unfortunately, there are several fatal loopholes in your theory."

"What loophole?"

"Social foundations, human morality, and...future hope."

Ma Wei said in a calm voice: "The social foundation determines the common phenomena in life, just like the ocean is all-encompassing, and people live in the ocean. The temperature, salinity, and pressure of sea water determine the types of organisms and the environment. .”

"Plainly speaking, the basic operating mode of society determines people's living environment. For example, the Romanov Kingdom, this country practiced serfdom, and the serfs were exploited by the lord. They may feel a little happiness, but usually There are uncertainties. For example, if the weather is good this year and the grain harvest is good, even if they pay heavy taxes, they will still be able to leave a lot of food and live a good year. At this time, they will feel happy, but "

"How long can this kind of happiness that is uncertain and uncontrollable by itself, with too much luck factor? Natural disasters and man-made disasters happen from time to time, and a disaster may destroy a family and put them in a situation beyond redemption. Are they happy at this time?"

Pressing his palms tightly on his knees, Christopher was silent, intending to refute, but felt that Mavi was right.

"So, I think an important basis for happiness comes from the stability of society, not the stability of social classes, but the improvement of the social security system, no worries, and natural happiness."

Ma Wei leaned back, crossed his legs and said: "Secondly, another indicator of happiness is also inseparable from human morality. As long as you live in society, you will come into contact with all kinds of people. Just imagine, a morally corrupt , What kind of ethos will be stimulated by a society without Gangchang ethics? Many times, providing strangers with some help within their ability can make themselves feel satisfied. This is an ideal state that can only be achieved on the basis of a stable society. People Virtue is needed, order is needed, kindness is needed. Deceit, refined egoism must be resisted and controlled.”

"Everyone has desires." Christopher shook his head slowly, and he found a point to refute: "The society you said is too idealistic, and desires are endless. We should teach people to be satisfied instead of taking risks to trust others There are so many people who are self-interested and unscrupulous for their own interests, who knows if their kind help will lead to disasters?"

"So we need order and justice."

Ma Wei said with a smile: "If people have no desires, how can technology develop to the point where it is today? Any capitalist or refined egoist would like to see a society that is ruthless and chasing fame and fortune, because then , they can use their best means to squeeze and exploit other people, and public order and justice are their natural enemies, so they do everything they can to destroy public order and justice, trying to make people believe that they live in a world where justice does not exist, In a society where public order has collapsed, it has gradually evolved into a closed-door, indifferent social phenomenon, how can people living in such an environment obtain happiness?"

"A great leader may be able to mediate this extreme phenomenon." Christopher thought for a while and said, "But people still have desires. Don’t want to live a more comfortable and beautiful life?”

"Therefore, based on the social foundation and human morality, a third point has evolved, which is the hope of the future." Ma Wei said softly: "There is no high or low personality, but there are grades in social status. This is power, always There will be people in power who go against their original intentions and try to make profits for themselves. People believe in the existence of public order and justice, but they cannot pin all their hopes on public order and justice, because you don’t know whether the existence of the right to exercise public order and justice itself justice."

"In this situation, people need to see hope. What is hope? No matter how dark the moment is, there is always someone with a bright heart who can stand up. This is hope. He will bring people the courage to set things right or reform evils. , he is not a person, but a group, a group that breeds in the vast soil, comes from the masses, and goes to the masses, boundless, endless, and no darkness can curb their growth."

"Therefore, leaders must leave hope for ordinary people to advance, a road of hope that cannot be shaken at any moment. Only when the people see hope can they have happiness."

Looking at Christopher, who was a little shocked, Ma Wei said with a smile:
"What I just said is the truth. For me, happiness is something that must be obtained when the truth is obtained. Mr. Christopher, you."

"Do you believe in the truth?"
