Chương 204: Chapter 203: The Distortion of the Perfect Person

"Do you know about the theory of original evil?"

"What?"

"It was proposed by the ancient thinker Xunzi from Huaxia to oppose Mencius's 'theory of original goodness.' Mencius believed that human nature is inherently good, while Xunzi held a different view. He thought humans had an animal nature, needing to be restrained after birth through education and other means. From the perspective of modern society, Xunzi's theory is actually closer to reality."

"What's the point of telling me this now?"

"Nothing in particular, just feeling a bit sentimental. In fact, I also agree with Xunzi's point of view that humans have an animal nature, humans have desires, and desire is jealousy, which breeds greed, anger, envy, deception, betrayal—in other words, sin. I never thought I would also walk this path. Perhaps from the day I decided to betray a friend two years ago, I was no longer myself."
