Chapter 494 Gambler's Creed

"I was named after a swimming pool. It was weird because my parents never liked water. One of my father's earliest business partners was Francis Adirubasami. He became a great friend to our family. My name is Tama Maji. "Mama" means "uncle" in Tamil, and "Ji" is a suffix that expresses respect and affection in India."

Severus was lying on Pomona's lap reading a book he had just acquired. He could read much faster than he could recite, but he knew she loved hearing his voice, so he made a point of reading it to her. listen.

In the view of Western philosophy, man is a real "rational animal". The mission of man is to understand the world with his physical strength and intelligence, and then conquer and control the world, become the master of all things in nature, and make it serve mankind.

"Rationality" refers to the ability of people to judge the best plan and implement it effectively under normal thinking activities. Severus' rational voice sounded captivating, calm and soothing, like a quietly flowing river. However, at the Death Eaters party that day, he witnessed a giant python swallowing a person at close range, and the calm river began to surge. He was frightened half to death, but finally tensed up, and the nightmare did not come until after the battle. Again and again.

It's hard to imagine why the rest of the table could be so insensitive to a person's death and the way her body was disposed of. Someone who can't even feel the cruelty must have something seriously wrong with him.

But Pomona felt that his "partner" might not only not feel horrible and cruel, but also feel very happy. The public execution brought entertainment, and Bella, that crazy woman, thought killing was a fun game.

Western philosophy does not regard the relationship between human beings and nature, and human beings as a friendly relationship of living in harmony, mutual assistance and mutual benefit, but as a relationship of opposition between conquering and being conquered, deprivation and deprivation.

The eastern philosophy is harmonious coexistence, and harmony is the most important thing. Zhuangzi proposed that the heaven and the earth live side by side with me, and all things are one with me. What he pursues is the unity of nature and man, harmony but difference, which is a sustainable development force.

Western capitalism has come to an end and has begun to enter the stage of consumerism. It was produced in the 14th century, which means squandering. At that time, people were precarious, and they didn’t know whether they would be infected with smallpox, cholera, or the Black Death. Today’s money is not only spent today, but also tomorrow’s money. Spend it together, what about tomorrow? The day after tomorrow. Whoever takes over last is the one who loses the most in the end.

This desperado-style self-destructive life pattern does not consider the problems of future generations at all. People without any responsibility only care about their own happiness.

In the 19th century, there was a famous female killer in the United States, Belle. She immigrated to the United States from poor Norway and was penniless.

Mrs. Zabini is the same as her. They only want money and nothing else. No rational person will provoke that poisonous spider, but men generally have a gambler mentality, thinking that small probability events will happen in their own For example, the black widow really fell in love with her, so seven men became her prey one after another. Without exception, all of them died strangely. Every time she became a widow, she would get richer.

If a person encounters a lawsuit, he needs 300,000 pounds to settle it completely. Another is to go to court. If he wins a lawsuit, he does not need to pay a penny, but if he loses, he will pay 400,000 pounds. Most people will choose the latter.

Most people's judgments on gains and losses are often determined based on reference points. When making a choice between a certain loss and "gambling", most people will choose "gambling". He has always been very lucky, and this time it will be the same. He wants to try the poisonous spider that no one else can tame.

Maybe he doesn't love Mrs. Zabini, he just enjoys conquering her, it's like a game, he has no feelings for her, but with more and more time and energy invested, and she doesn't look like a black widow at all , how can a beautiful woman who loves charity and treats others have a heart of snakes and scorpions? Some other woman must have slandered her out of jealousy.

The more you put in, the more you want to get it back. As a result, the man fell into her trap and became the next target of the Black Widow.

Continuing to fool around with a group of self-destructing people, and he himself will also be self-destructed. Regulus learned from a certain channel what Voldemort did in that cave. It was inhumane and cut his soul many times After Voldemort has gone crazy, his methods can definitely be described as cruel.

But he is also a poor man. He believes that Mommy is not a wizard. If she is a wizard, she will not die. What a naive idea.

Even in the body of a monster there is an innocent boy, and that child can inspire maternal love in a woman, so that the "rational animal" can become a human being.

She likes the third ending not because it is cruel, but because it is very real, while the first ending, though magnificent and colorful, is false.

Listening to too many beautiful sweet words is not good for health. Consumerism sprouted because of the fear of the approaching doom brought about by the Black Death. Spend and waste is irrational. Only by restoring rational consumption can we avoid falling into various traps. People will not use their wisdom to defraud others of their money, but use it on the right path.

Today’s America has been completely brainwashed by consumerism. Capitalism is about restraint, frugality, and hard work. You have to live within your means. Spending six pounds indiscriminately means losing the power to control a hundred pounds. This kind of Protestant asceticism restricts luxury consumption. Consumerism is to measure the individual value and his consumption level. The purpose of consumption is not to satisfy the actual needs, but to continuously pursue the created and stimulated desires.

Desires are endless, you want more after you get it, like a monster who can never get enough to eat, you can do anything for food, American-style consumerism instills in Americans that personal success can only be achieved through money Success is achieved, wealth is reflected in the purchase of goods, and it is this desire that drives a scandal in which a boy's father falsely accused Michael Jackson of molesting his son.

The spread of consumerism has made people all over the world buy. Only when everyone buys irrationally and frantically, capital will gain more profits. The prosperity obtained by overdraft will go wrong sooner or later.

Michael Jackson built Neverland to make everyone happy together, but the "adult" understands happiness differently from what he understands, and what he represents is an American tragedy. He used music to create people's irrational fanatical admiration for him, and he was eventually ruined because of irrational consumerism. He had to bear the strange eyes of others all his life. Maybe people would believe him only after death.

She looked down and kissed him on the lips, like a kiss on the lips, or a goodnight kiss from a mother to a child, and Severus was taken aback.

"Are you still having nightmares?"

"Sometimes." He said weakly, "I don't want to kill people, but they force me to do it."

"Who are they? Death Eaters? Or Albus?"

"Yes, my soul is no longer pure."

She put away the book in his hand, she felt that Irene must have never told him a bedtime story.

"Let me tell you a story. There are only adventures and fantasy in this story. Just now, the teenager named after the swimming pool and his relatives were shipwrecked. In the end, he was on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger. Everyone else Died, if he doesn't manage to get enough food, the Bengals will eat the pie, so he has to work hard and hard to keep everyone alive..."

Yes, she had lied, but there was no need to add another nightmare to his nightmare-filled mind.

The survivor's heart has already touched and broken through that boundary, came to the dark side of human nature, and became cruelly unhuman. He followed the guidance of goodwill and divinity and became human again. There is no need to look for the animal again. The tiger disappeared in the forest.
