Then in his eyes, this world really has no distinction between superior and inferior, because it is all a part of himself. After all, it is impossible for a person to treat his heart and liver differently, right?

"And selfishness developed to the extreme...becomes selflessness and the great love of heaven and earth."

"this……"

Chi Yao admitted that he was indeed shocked after listening to Chi Youqi's description.

"Ultimate selfishness will be transformed into selfless love for heaven and earth?"

This theory that things must be reversed at their extremes, and that yin and yang arise, sounds reasonable and is in line with the moral principles of yin and yang. But why does this matter feel so strange to people?

Chi Yao murmured: "Do you regard the entire world as your own private property?"

Selfishness is the instinct of human beings, not just humans, but members of any intelligent race have the instinct to protect their private property.

In the old days, the emperor's family and the world were a kind of concept practice that expanded the scope of selfishness to the whole country.

The whole world belongs to my family, so I must develop it well. The people are my wealth, so I must protect it well.

Loving the people like a son is a very high evaluation for an emperor.

Why Zi?

Because father and son are sons, in the past, the prevailing concept was that children were private property belonging to the father. In many cases, it was not illegal for a father to beat his child to death, but a child who rebelled against his father would definitely be punished.

The same goes for expressions such as "parent official".

The purpose of this concept is to stimulate the selfish instinct in human beings and fully expand it.

Why should you govern this county well? Because this county belongs to you!

Why should you govern the country well? Because the whole country belongs to you!

To make an analogy with modern people, why do you put a film on your mobile phone? Because your mobile phone is your property, and you instinctively want to protect it.

Why are workers unwilling to work hard for the company?

Because you know very well that the company is not yours.

If you are a shareholder, your thinking is very different.

Therefore, this concept has never declined since ancient times.

Of course, the concept is good at first, but not every emperor, official, or shareholder can truly implement it.

People who are not enlightened or capable enough will be divided into groups of relatives and friends in the country, government, and company.

This is like those who don't have enough self-control and like to stay up late or eat snacks in the middle of the night.

He only cares about the pleasure of his spirit and mouth, but desperately harms other parts of his body.

Don’t they know this is bad for their health?

Most people actually know everything, but they just can't control themselves.

In ancient times, such people would most likely be a coward or a corrupt official.

Even in the concept of the new era, the slogan that everyone is the master of the country is also making use of this selfish instinct.

You see, you are the master of the country, so why don’t you hurry up and do your best to protect the country?

What is a sense of ownership?

This is called ownership!

If you regard yourself as the master and regard everything as your own private matter, then driven by selfish instinct, human beings' power of action is very amazing.

To put it bluntly, selfishness is not a good quality worthy of praise, but it is not without merit.

In the development of mankind for countless years, wise men have long known the means and methods of how to use selfishness to achieve more noble goals.

Saying this may be a bit blasphemous to the sages, but we can guess from another angle:

Those heroes in history who did not benefit themselves but only benefited others, who did not hesitate to kill themselves for the sake of the righteousness of their family and country, and the great men who shouldered the fate of their country and nation. Where did the strong sense of mission come from in their hearts?

Isn't this a concept that regards the fate of the country as one's own, so one must be responsible for them?

At this moment, Chi Yao's mind was like a horse racing through the flowers. He thought a lot, and finally took a long breath and said to Chi Youqi:

"I understand what you're saying, but I can't guarantee that it can be done."

After all, he considers himself not a sage or great man. How can he be so easy to do whether he is selfish or selfless?

"It doesn't matter, this matter can be done step by step."
