We are not doing the right thing?

That rabble, we must fool them!

Look, now they are so incompetent! Look, now they are so uncivilized!

This is the mob.

When you fooled them all these sons of Adam are incompetent and brutal;

Only the integrity and loyalty can make all of them regain humanity.

——Goethe

A powerful force: people’s mind

The war at the moment is the center of the world's attention more than anything else. But I think that this war must make those people who seriously think to turn their attention to this big problem of civilization. All civilization begins with the natural conquest, conquest and control the frightening material force in nature, that no longer crimes against humanity. Today's modern European civilization has been successfully conquered nature, and we must admit that, so far, no other civilization can be such successful. However, in the world, there is a force more terrible than material force in the nature that is the passion in people's minds. The damage to people caused by the material forces of nature, far less than by human’s passion. Therefore, it is clear that before this terrible power of human passion can be controlled completely, not only the civilization, but even the human life can be existed.

A vicious circle

In the early primitive society, human beings had to use a natural material force to subdue and restraint of human passion, which makes the original nomadic tribes subject to purely material forces. But with the progress of civilization, mankind has found a more effective control of the power of human passion, which is a moral force. In Europe, Christian effectively controlled the moral force of human passion. But now, the previously mentioned armed war seemed to indicate that Christianity has failed as a moral force. Because there is no effective moral force to control and restrain the human passion, the Europeans re-used the material force to maintain civil order. Indeed as Carlyle (Thomas Carlyle, 1795-1881), was born in Scotland, a famous British writer, historian, social critic, a former Chancellor in University of Edinburgh. His book, such as the "French Revolution" (1837), is featuring sharp social and political criticism and complex style. - Translator's Note says: "Europe is a state of anarchy, plus a police officer." Use physical force to maintain civil order led to militarism. In fact, today's Europe's dependence militarism, which is because without effective moral force. Militarism lead to war and war means destruction and waste. Therefore, the Europeans are in dilemma. If they stay away from militarism, anarchy will destroy their civilization, but if they continue to adhere to the militarism, their civilization will collapse because of the waste and destruction of war. However, the British said that they were determined to put an end to Prussian militarism, Jixi Le, Lord (Lord Kitchner 1850-1916), British Field Marshal, diplomat, statesman. They believed him can destroy Prussian militarism with three million well-trained, heavily armed British soldiers. In my opinion, when Prussian militarism is eliminated, it seems that militarism - British militarism - appears, and it also had to repeat the same mistakes. This seems to be caught in a vicious circle and cannot do anything.

What to do?

But is there anything we can do? No, I believe there is a way. Long time ago, Emerson (Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1803-1882), the 19th century great thinker, essayist and poet, super main advocate of the philosophy of Transcendentalism. His poem, speech, especially his thesis, such as the "Nature" (1836), is considered as a milestone in the development of American thoughts and literature expression. Translator's Note said: "I can easily foresee the worship of the rifle is so barbaric bankruptcy - even though the great men adore rifle; and, as I believe the existence of God, we are confident that the use of force will lead to another force, only love and justice rule can achieve complete revolution." Now, if the Europeans really want to the fight against militarism, there is only one way that is the law of Ralph Waldo Emerson called justice and love, which does not answer violence with violence - in fact, that’s moral strength. With the establishment of an effective moral force, militarism will become useless and disappear on their own. But now, since Christianity as a moral force has expired, the Europeans are confronted the question of: where to find the moral force of this new effective eradication of militarism?

New moral faith in Chinese Civilization

I believe that the Europeans will find this new moral force in China - in Chinese civilization. In Chinese civilization, this kind of extra things for militarism become the faith of good citizens. However, the people will tell me: "China has wars." It is true that China has wars; However since two thousand five hundred years ago, the Confucius, we Chinese people never have seen the militarism today in the Europe. In China, the war was an accident, while in Europe; the war has become a need. We Chinese people are likely to start the war, but we are not living in constant expectation of war. In fact, in my opinion, the intolerable thing in continental Europe is not the war itself, but everyone constantly worries about his neighbor will be strong enough to come robbed and murdered him, so he may have to arm himself, or hire an armed police to protect him. So what plagued the Europeans is not the outbreak of war, but the constant necessity of arming their own, which is the use of the material force to protect their own absolute necessity.

Today in China, we Chinese people have good people’ faith, a person may not feel it’s necessary to use the material force to protect himself; he rarely even need to find or use the national police force to protect himself. In China, a person is protected by the sense of justice of his neighbor; by his companions are willing to obey the moral responsibility. In fact, in China, people feel no need to protect themselves by material strength, because he was convinced that everyone agrees: justice and fairness as a force is more important than the material strength and moral responsibility must be obeyed. Now, if you can make all the people also recognize and agree with the view above, the material force will be useless; the militarism will no longer exist in the world. However, in every country, of course, there will be a bunch of people, some of the criminals, and some thugs in the world, they do not want or cannot agree with justice and equity is higher than the material strength of a force, as well as moral responsibility is some kind of things must be subordinate to. Therefore, in order to guard against criminals and thugs, whether it is a certain amount of material force or police force, and militarism in a country or within the scope of the world will need to be retained

However, people will say to me, how do you make the human identity of justice and fairness is more important than the material forces? My answer is that the first is to make human believe that the effectiveness of the justice and fairness, and the fairness and justice is a force; In fact is to convince them with the power of merciful. However, how to do this? Like this - in order to do this, China's good people’s belief will teach each child from the beginning in literacy: Man’s nature at birth is good. This is the first sentence on the book for every child go to school - The original note.

a big problem faced by the European civilization

In my opinion, a major problem of European civilization today is the wrong concept of the humanity - it's that human nature is evil. Because of this misconception, the entire social structure of Europe will always depend on the force. Europeans rely on religion and law two arms to maintain civilized order. In other words, the Europeans maintain order through the awe of God and the fear of the law. Fear means a use of force. Therefore, in order to extend people’s fear of God, the Europeans initially spent heavily to support a large number of useless so-called pastors. Not to mention the cost of this practice is so high that it will eventually become a burden on people cannot afford. In fact, in the war of three decades religious reform, the Europeans tried to get rid of the pastors. Get rid of priests who are fear of God to preserve citizens in order, the Europeans tried to maintain the order of civilization through fearing of the law. However, to establish the authority of the law, the Europeans have to spend more money to support another useless class, called the police and the military. Today, Europeans gradually found that the money spent to support the police and military so that to maintain order, is even more than to support the pastors, and more destructive. In fact, just as the Europeans want to get rid of the pastors in the three decades of religious reform war, at this moment, the Europeans really want to get rid of the soldiers. But if the Europeans want to get rid of police and military personnel, they will face the choice, or recall the priests to keep the fear of God, or to find other forces as to awe God and fear law, helping them to maintain the civilization order, alternatively one. To put it more directly, I think everyone will admit that this is a big problem faced by the European civilization after the war.

Today, the Europeans learned the lessons of the pastor; I think they do not want to restore the priest class. Bismarck (Otto von Bismarck, 1815-1898), is German politician, German Empire, the first Prime Minister. - Translator's Note said: "We will never to return Canossa, a castle in northern Italy - Translator's Note." In addition, even if the recall of the priest is futile, because the European has lost the fear of God. Therefore, there is only one option left for Europeans, if they want to get rid of the police and the military, it is necessary to find some sort of other forces can help them to maintain civilized order, like the awe of God and the fear of the law. I believe that this power today, as I mentioned earlier, Europeans will be found in the Chinese civilization. This force is called the faith of the innocent. In China, this innocent belief can make the people of the country believe in order without the help of priests and police or military. Indeed, in this innocent faith, many people - perhaps the population is no less than the entire European - still able to maintain peace and order without the control of priests and police or military personnel. In China, everyone in this land knows that, priests, police or military play very minor roles in helping maintain public order, very minor role. In China, only the most ignorant class needs priests, only the worst criminals need the deterrence of police or military personnel. So I say, if the Europeans really want to get rid of religion and the control of militarism, get rid of the priests and soldiers who bring them so much turmoil and bloodshed, they have to come to China to find what I am talking about innocent faith.

In short, I would like to call the attention of Europeans and Americans, their civilization seems to have been threatened to collapse this time, in China, there is hitherto an indubitable priceless wealth of civilization. The wealth of this civilization is not the country's trade, railways, mining, gold, silver, steel or coal. Today this civilization wealth of the world, I would like to point out that the Chinese people - stick to the innocent belief has not yet changed the real Chinese people. The real Chinese people, I should say that is a priceless wealth of civilization, because he is the one will be able to comply with the order without the social costs. Indeed, I want to warn Europeans and Americans, do not ruin this priceless wealth of civilization, not to change and damage to the real Chinese people, and they are now trying to use their new knowledge to influence the Chinese people. If the Europeans and Americans destroy the real Chinese people, the destruction of the Chinese type of humanity, turn the real Chinese people into Europeans or Americans, who need a priest or military to keep order. It is certain that they will burden world religions or the militarism - and the latter become a threat of civilization and humanity. But on the other hand, suppose someone in some way or other way can change typical of human nature the Europeans or Americans, make it into real Chinese people without priests or military to keep order - think about this would reduce how much burden of the world!

the war led to big problems of European civilization.

Now, to sum up, the war led to big problems of European civilization. I thought the Europeans would like to let the priests help to maintain the civil order. But before long, the pastor led to a huge spending and too much trouble. Europeans and then drove out the priests in three decades war, summoned the police and the military to maintain civil order. But now they found that the police and the military led to much more costs and trouble than the priest. What should Europeans do with it? Drive out soldiers and recall priests? No, I believe that the Europeans do not want to recall the pastors. In addition, the priests are not useful right now. But what will the Europeans do? I see Professor Dickinson of Cambridge, Los ? Dickinson (Lowes Dickinson, 1862-1932), who is a British historian. An article entitled War and its way out in the Atlantic, wrote:" call for the public. "I am worried that once summoned the people instead of priests and soldiers, it will bring more trouble. Priests and soldiers triggered a war in Europe, but people will bring about a revolution and anarchy, to the time the situation of Europe will be worse than previously. I gave the recommendation to the European: Do not recall the priest, for mercy sake do not call for public, but can summon the real Chinese people, who have the innocent faiths, two thousand five hundreds of years they have not rely on the experience of the priests and soldiers live in peace.

In fact, I really believe that the Europeans will find the solution of this problem of civilization after the war - here in China. I reiterate that, so far no doubt a priceless wealth of civilization is the real Chinese people. Because he has a new civilization secret needed by the Europeans after World War, the secret of this new civilization is the faith of the so-called innocent. The overriding principle of the innocent belief is to believe human nature is basically good, believe the power of kindness, believe the Americans Ralph Waldo Emerson said love and justice has the power and efficacy. But what is the rule of love? Criminal Conviction faith teaches us that the rule of love is to love your parents. And what is the rule of justice? Criminal Conviction of faith teaches us that the rule of justice means sincere, trustworthy and loyal, women must be selfless and absolutely loyal to her husband, the man must be selfless and absolutely loyal to his monarch, king or emperor. Finally, I want to say that the supreme obligation of loyalty obligations is innocent belief, not only in behavior, but also in the spirit of loyalty, or as Tennyson Alfred Tennyson (1809-1892) the British poet, his representative work, Mourning (1850), and the responsibility of "Light Cavalry" (1854), reflected the emotions and aesthetics of the Victorian era. In 1850 he received the title of poet laureate.
