Act 107: Evil and Greatness
Principal Woolsey was a little cloudy, but his eyes were still bright, staring at Doug, and he said slowly, "Dog, my student, your behavior really puzzled me a little.
At the beginning, I thought you just wanted to make a Monopoly game.
However, I realized that two days ago, when you and the little shoe shimulator were on your newspaper, I realized that it didn't seem that simple.
You are trying every means to control money and public opinion, doing one behavior after another that is absolutely undebated, but you are promoting yourself as a good person.
And the dye you and that little guy Tom made. That would be a big business.
Do you want to be the richest mogul in the United States?”
Doug confirmed Principal Woolsey's expression.
“My teacher, in a more universal way, everyone has the right to choose their own life.
But, is this the reality of life?
When I was a little homeless man, could I enter the classroom carefree and listen to the knowledge I was interested in?
No, no.
I can't even get into the classroom.
Perhaps, we believe that every job he is engaged in should be the job he likes.
However, the fact is that most people work for money.
Only with money can you survive, and only with the present can you have dreams about the future.
Where is me?
Although I have a little money now, it is not enough! It is far from enough!
I need money, I need more money!
When I have more capital, I have the right to pursue my life!
Of course, all this seems to be without contradiction with what you said to be the richest person in the United States.
The greater the ability, the greater the change of the world."
Doug's energetic voice made Principal Wolsey fall into memories without realizing it.
He remembered when he was young.
When he was young, like many of his peers, he had great dreams to change the whole world.
However, at his age who was already considered an old age in this era, he did not make much change in the world.
The world is still the same.
The world has not changed because of its ambitions.
The only place he influenced was the small area of Yale Academy.
Some people think that universities are independent individuals separated from politics and economy.
However, this is not the case.
In the mid-nineteenth century, the United States was already among the best in the world in terms of economic output.
However, a series of universities including Yale and Harvard have not been widely recognized by the world.
Even if these schools have produced many achievements.
However, because they are in the United States, they will not be first-class world-renowned universities.
Principal Woolsey, as the Yale principal of this generation, has made a lot of efforts to do this, but has not gained much.
As an elder, he knew very well how difficult it was to change the world.
He knew very well that when some people felt that they had changed the world, they had been changed by the world.
Principal Woolsey suddenly laughed, and he said, "I hope you don't forget everything you said at this moment."
"Teacher, I will not forget my original intention. I will forge ahead and strive for it until I die." Doug replied.
"Doug. There used to be a duck-like duck-like appearance and eating duck-like food, but he kept saying that he was a chicken.
Is it a duck or a chicken?
Even if it screams loudly, the whole world knows that it says it is a chicken, but it is still a duck."
Principal Woolsey continued to use ducks as an example.
Opening your mouth to speak is just a propaganda.
If you want to see a person's true thoughts, you don't see what they say, but what they do.
The unity of words and deeds is the highest state.
Because, most things in this world are always easier to do than to say.
Just say nothing but do.
Some of them cannot be done.
Some of them can be done, but they cost a huge price. They may struggle to do it at first, but later, the oaths they once said have only become fig leafs.
The last one is even more hateful.
I simply said something, and I never thought about doing it.
He just used verbal routines to induce the target group to support him.
Depend on the truth and mind.
Doug has learned to see a person's behavior rather than words.
However, even if the vast majority of people in this world know that they should look at behavior rather than words, where do they look at their true behavior?
Media is a medium of communication.
Whoever holds it, you must speak out for whose interests.
Do you expect chicken soup newspapers like the New Haven Times to report the truth of the world?
Or, expect advertising newspapers like the New Haven Daily to tell what is good and what is bad?
If they are asked to judge, of course, it is good to recharge here, but it is bad to recharge if they don’t.
Even hotels like New Haven that can cause food poisoning for guests, as long as they recharge, they are still a good hotel.
Perhaps, those who have been to know that the hotel in New Haven is not good.
However, if people who come to New Haven for the first time, will they choose the New Haven hotel with the same name as New Haven and are recommended by the New Haven Daily when they have enough wallets?
When they are really food poisoned in such a hotel, will they be thrown into the wilderness and how can they maintain their rights?
The seemingly fair America is actually just a profit-making game for groups of businessmen.
When needed, they can promote the barren western, with a lot of open-air gold.
When needed, they can even define the "American Dream" in the name of the United States.
Principal Woolsey asked again, "Is your dream monopoly or prosperity?"
"It is prosperity," Doug replied, "promote prosperity with monopoly."
"Use monopoly to promote prosperity? What do you want to do?" Principal Wolsey said curiously.
"You also know that according to human nature, everyone is selfish. If you want to prosper, the prerequisite - selflessness, it seems that they are not satisfied.
It seems that monopoly is the route that everyone will naturally choose.
But what if I became a unique monopoly?
Just like the winner of Monopoly.
I exploit and oppress those losers, so that they can live a life of miserable suffering and can only barely maintain it.
Will they be compressed to the extreme like springs and usher in an explosion?
From disorder to order, from order to unity.
What about building a prosperous society?
I can't ask everyone to do anything, but the environment will teach people what to do.
And what I have to do is change the environment.”
