Father Mavie

Chapter 54 The Light of Truth
truth?

The middle-aged man looked at the book of truth in Ma Wei's hands, and was obviously taken aback for a moment, muttering in his heart: Does he want to preach?

At this juncture?
Didn't you still blackmail me last second?

Why did you take out the teachings in the next second and want to discuss the truth with me?

All kinds of doubts popped up in his mind like mushrooms after a spring rain. The middle-aged man was confused by Ma Wei's unreasonable behavior pattern.

"Of course I believe there is truth in this world."

After a moment of hesitation, the middle-aged man finally spoke: "The truth in everyone's heart is different. For the beggars on the street, they just want to have a good meal, or have a piece of clothing that can warm their bodies and help them survive the cold winter. , material needs are the truth, but what about those nobles and princes who live in luxurious palaces? What they pursue is power, greater power, and their basic material needs can no longer be met. Their growing ambitions make them use whatever means Accumulate wealth, authority and status are the truth!"

"It's very good, the truth is not static, it varies from person to person."

Ma Wei nodded and continued to ask: "So for you, Levin Boger, what is truth?"

The middle-aged man opened his mouth, wanting to answer immediately, but the words circled around his mouth, and then swallowed back, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Yes
What is truth to him?
food?

wealth?

status?

He has never considered this issue deeply, and after thinking about it, it seems that it is difficult to find a label that suits him.

"It's a very simple question if you understand the definition of truth."

Ma Wei shook his head: "From a macro perspective, I personally think that truth can roughly be divided into three directions."

"Geometry based on physics and mathematics, commonly known as absolute truth, relative truth based on way of thinking and clear logic, and spiritual truth that starts from the soul and finally breaks through the objective and subjective."

"The truth of geometry is the sword in the hand, the truth of logic is the foundation upon which everything rests, and can be compared to the body, and the truth of the mind is the brain that combines the two and drives them."

"If you choose one of these three, they can be called truth, but they are not completely truth. They are just a way of truth. When the three ways are combined into one and perfectly combined, they will be eternal and correct. truth."

"The material needs you mentioned just now belong to the branch of spiritual truth, and they have just started from personal subjective consciousness, and have not escaped from the understanding of the concept of self. It is perceptual and full of desire."

"What's the point of these things?"

After listening to Ma Wei's words, the middle-aged man was at a loss. He probably understood the definition of truth, but he still didn't know why he did it:
"Instead of studying these illusory things, it's better to think about what to eat tomorrow!"

"Then why do you give up your easy-to-reach wealth to help the poor?"

"I"

"Although you did this, you didn't know what you were looking for."

The rain was beating on the car window, Ma Wei turned a deaf ear to it, just lowered his eyes, and said softly: "Truth is not something that is divorced from reality as you think, it is around us, in life."

"Most of the people who pursue the truth of geometry are scientists. They spend their whole lives researching the means of production that can change human life, such as the steam trains and railways beneath us, the furnaces in factories, and textile machines."

"And once the means of production are in the hands of a few people who seek their own interests, they become sharp knives for killing people, and sharp weapons that thirst for human blood and suck the marrow!"

"As you said, this kind of people will not stop. They only have power and wealth in their eyes, and their desires have already invaded their bodies and minds. They are moths of society and enemies of the oppressed!"

"There are always some people who can't understand what they do and stand up to resist. You, Mr. Levin Bojie, aren't you such a person?"

Staring into the pensive eyes of the middle-aged man, Ma Wei suddenly sighed:
"It's a pity. The means you use are too naive."

"childish?"

The middle-aged man raised his head: "I distribute money to the poor. Is this behavior very naive?"

"You can save them for a while, but you can't save them for a lifetime. As long as the means of production are still in the hands of moths, the situation will never change!"

Ma Wei said solemnly: "Not only that, you stole 100 gold pounds from them today, and tomorrow, they will plunder 200, 300 or even more from the people!"

"Your actions are just, but you have not considered the consequences of doing so."

".Then what should I do?"

Unknowingly, the middle-aged man no longer wanted to run away, he began to talk seriously with Ma Wei and asked for his opinion.

"Fix the problem at the source."

"The source?" The middle-aged man frowned.

"That's right, if we want to fight these moths, we must awaken people's consciousness, let people gather together, and ignite the bonfire in their hearts!"

Leaning forward, Ma Wei put the book of truth on the middle-aged man's lap: "It's useless to fight alone, and individual heroism is not advisable. You are not the only one in this world who wants to stand up and resist. What we need is A ray of light, the light of truth!"

"Read it. This is the program of action of the Church of Truth."

woo~~~
woo~~~
A dull whistle sounded from the front of the car, and Ma Wei picked up the brown checkered box and stood up: "What you need, what you pursue, are all annotated inside, if you want, come to 99 Kerr Street No, the Church of Truth is always open to you.”

After finishing speaking, Ma Wei got off the train. After a while, the train started slowly. In the window, the middle-aged man looked at him with a dazed face, and then jumped through the window, his lips fluttering up and down, as if Tell the most touching love story in the world.

Ma Wei couldn't hear, and waved to him with a smile on his face.

"You just let him go?"

Xiao Hei, who was lying on his shoulder, asked: "He is almost moved by you, can't you work harder? If such a powerful monster thief can join our church, it must be a big help! Besides, you put I gave him the Book of Truth, and if he doesn’t come back, it will be a big loss! After all, it’s our only handwritten teaching book!”

"It's almost the end of the fire, it's useless to say more, and he needs to think about the rest."

Watching the train go away, Ma Wei lowered his arms and said quietly, "I believe he will come back."

"Why? Why are you so sure?"

"because."

Mavi glanced at the brown checked box in his hand:
"His cat is still with me."
