Chapter 3142 Silver Eagle and Golden Eagle (3)

Descartes said that love is an intense emotion of the soul. Love prompts the soul to consciously get close to those things that are consistent with it. The "consciousness" here is not desire, because desire is another basic emotion about the future.

In reality "consciousness" is a consent through which one perceives oneself to be close to the thing one loves, for one can imagine a whole and see oneself as a part of the whole, of which the thing one loves is another. part.

Pomona looked at the popcorn in her hand. She loved it, but she never thought that she was one with it.

Then she took the popcorn and studied it.

When she eats it, after digestion and absorption, it can indeed become part of her body, but will she become part of the popcorn?

She glanced at the Descartes book on her lap again. In fact, she wanted to read Pride and Prejudice more.

Because Lydia's indiscreet behavior may ruin the reputation of the Bennett family, Lydia's mother is as simple as her. She was very happy when she heard that Lydia was getting married and ignored the "process".

Mr. Darcy helped Elizabeth's family, although Wickham almost deceived his sister into eloping with him by the same means.

"Meow."

Pomona looked down and saw a cat rubbing her feet, so she picked it up and leaned against the window of the library together, enjoying the cool breeze blowing from the black lake.

From the first appearance, Mr. Darcy has not appeared as a humorous image, or that he has controlled his anger and can sit down and negotiate terms with Wickham to solve the "current problem", otherwise he will be killed. Mr. Nate went to talk to Wickham himself.

Pomona felt it was a mercy to spare her angry father the pain of confronting the problem, and that Mr. Bennett was no longer young. The family finally had someone they could rely on, even though Mr. Collins inherited all of Mr. Bennett's property.

Charlotte is a smart girl. She doesn't love Collins but still marries him. She is very satisfied with her married life.

Poverty and happiness are not incompatible. The poorest person, if he feels satisfied, will not ask for more than a meager fortune cannot give him.

There was a philosopher who was going to cross a river by boat one day. When he had nothing to do, he chatted with the boatman, so he asked: "Do you understand history?"

The boatman said, "I don't understand."

The philosopher said regretfully: "Then you have lost at least half of your life. Then do you understand mathematics?"

The boatman said: "I don't understand either."

The philosopher said regretfully: "Then you have lost 80% of your life."

The boatman said no more. After a while, a strong wind suddenly came up, and the boat was tossed violently in the waves.

Suddenly, a huge wave capsized the boat and the philosopher fell into the water.

Seeing the philosopher struggling in the water, the boatman asked the philosopher: "Can you swim?"

The philosopher shouted in panic: "No!"

The boatman said: "Then you will lose 100% of your life."

This philosopher is just as annoying as Socrates. The boatman is already very satisfied with his life, so why should he be made dissatisfied with his life and then crave history and mathematics that are impossible to learn with the boatman's income? Woolen cloth?

What's more, history and mathematics are not like punting. People crossing the river must pay, which can bring income to the boatman.

The students were all sleeping during the history class. Fortunately, Professor Binns was not as busy as the philosopher. He woke them up and asked them if they knew history.

A container that was originally full becomes full because of a hole in it, just like a flower pot with a leaky bottom. If the hole in the bottom of the pot is plugged, it will be full. But the flowerpot has also become a water basin, which cannot support terrestrial plants, but can only support aquatic plants such as lotus.

Charlotte found a way to be content, Elizabeth for a time did not, changes happened, Mr. Bennet was growing old, and one day Collins would inherit his fortune, and unless one of the sisters wanted to marry him, there was no marriage. The Bennett girls who went out would be, as Mrs. Bennett said, kicked out of the house where they grew up.

But faced with this situation, Elizabeth was still unwilling to agree to Mr. Collins's proposal.

If it were Descartes, he would have said, "Change your desires instead of changing reality, strive to defeat yourself instead of destiny."

"Who would marry Collins but Charlotte?" Pomona said, looking into the cat's eyes. "Would you?"

The cat turned its head, struggled to break free from Pomona's hand, scurried down from her lap, and disappeared in a flash.

Descartes also said that man cannot choose the world in which he lives, even if man tries to control the world to make it more livable. This order corresponds to the so-called reality, and our desires hit this high wall, so we must compromise with it.

He is right, but girls at least have the right to accept and reject proposals, and not everyone will choose to "compromise."

The handsome, wealthy Mr. Darcy would have fit the image of a "prince" in girls' daydreams, had it not been for Wickham's bad remarks about him.

People who fall in love will not feel that they beautify their lover. It would be better if happiness comes, but what if Mr. Darcy is the same as Dorian Gray?

Dorian Gray is also handsome, but he was originally poor, but became a member of the upper class because of his inheritance.

You always have to consider this aspect when getting married, but you shouldn't keep thinking about him unless your once clear mind is carried away by sexual feelings and you make a decision that is harmful to yourself.

The wind blowing into the library from the lake is not as cold as the wind in Wuthering Heights, and the people here are not like the people in the Villa...

"Are you free? Dean!"

Pomona looked out the window, where Grapeland stood on the lawn below.

"What?" Pomona asked.

"Do me a little favor," Grapeland said.

"About what?"

"Animal Control."

Pomona frowned, her intuition telling her that this was not a good thing.

"I'm overwhelmed!" Graplan said downstairs.

"What animal is too busy?" Pomona said.

"Owl Postman."

She calculated and found that whether it was an owl delivering transcripts or notices, the letters had almost been delivered...

"Harry Potter's birthday is coming soon!" said Grupplan. "Lily's protective magic is useless against them!"

"Shhh!!" Pomona immediately signaled Graplan to be silent.

"What's so scary? There's no one else in the school except us." Grapeland said carelessly.

Even though the wizards don't know where Harry Potter is now, the owls can still find him, and if left unchecked, Harry will be inundated with birthday presents.

Fortunately, no Death Eater has thought of using this trick so far.

"Come right back," Pomona told Grapeland, leaving the window and placing the popcorn and book on a nearby table.

She now hoped that the gifts given to Harry would not be too many, otherwise she and Graplan would have to work overtime for no apparent reason, although preventing a child from getting a birthday gift was like something a bad person would do.

But it’s not like she has nothing to do but this, so why can’t she be quiet during the summer vacation?
