"I would rather teach me to be negative to the whole world than to teach the whole world to be negative to me."

I would rather teach me to be negative to the whole world than to teach the whole world to be negative to me. A person who would rather be sorry for the people all over the world than let them be sorry for themselves is too bad. So be sure to find out the case and see if it is true.

This incident is not recorded in the reflection, but only recorded in the Miscellaneous Notes of Shu Wei, Shi Yu and Sun Sheng quoted by Pei Songzhi. Something like this. After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Cao Cao was appointed as a captain of Xiaoqi. Cao Cao refused Dong Zhuo's appointment, escaped from Luoyang and took a shortcut back to his hometown. When I passed my friend Lv Boshe's house, I killed them all.

Why kill it? Three books have different opinions. "Shu Wei" said: "When Uncle was away, his son and his guests robbed Taizu, took horses and took things, and Taizu personally killed several people." Shiyu said: "Mao killed eight people with his sword overnight because he was treacherous and doubted his own interests." The saying in Sun Sheng's Miscellanies is: "Mao heard the sound of his food container and thought it was for his own sake, so he killed it at night." There seems to be no problem that Cao Cao killed the Lv Boshe family, but the motive is the problem. According to Shu Wei, this is self-defense or excessive defense. According to Shi Yu and Sun Sheng's miscellaneous notes, this is a manslaughter caused by excessive suspicion. Shu Wei protects Cao Cao more. Let's not talk about this first, but look at the latter two statements.

Among the latter two statements, Sun Sheng's Miscellaneous Notes is more specific. First, Cao Cao heard some voices (smelling the sound of eating utensils), and second, after Cao Cao killed someone, he said, "It's better to die than to die." The so-called "sound of eating utensils" should not be the sound of washing pots and bowls, but the sound of sharpening knives. Cao Cao became suspicious and killed him. It will make me sad to find out that people are trying to kill pigs and sheep to amuse themselves and kill good people by mistake: I would rather be negative than negative. Sad was miserable and sad, so he had to comfort himself and reluctantly defend his wrong behavior. Of course, this excuse can't wash away his sin. But "misery" is not the final "moral decay".

But The Romance of the Three Kingdoms has changed a lot. The feeling of "sadness" is gone, and "I would rather be negative than negative" has become "I would rather be negative than negative". What is the difference? From the translation of the last sentence, I would rather I am sorry for others than others. The "people" (others) mentioned here are concrete, that is, the Lv Boshe family, and they are "individuals". The last word is all people, and it is "all". This range is very different. Although they are all evil, the degree and severity of evil are different. This is the first point.

Secondly, Cao Cao said at that time that "it is better to die than to die", but only to talk about the matter. It means that although I killed someone by mistake, I'm sorry, but there is nothing I can do now. I'm desperate now. I'd rather be sorry myself than let others be sorry for me. It should be said that he still kept some goodwill in it. However, "I would rather teach me to be negative to the whole world than to teach the whole world to be negative to me" has become consistent and natural. That's a big traitor. Therefore, it is doubtful to say that Cao Cao is treacherous and vicious based on this case.

But even so, Mao Pi said, "This Jude Mende is outstanding" and "Jude is a villain with a consistent heart". Why? Because if it is someone else, it will be the other way around, saying that everyone would rather be sorry for me than sorry for me. But what is it really like? In fact, they all did what Cao Cao did (who doesn't have the heart in the world), but "who can open this mouth?" Everyone pretends to be a gentleman, and only Cao Cao said this frankly. At least Cao Cao dares to say treacherous things in public. He is a real villain, not a hypocrite. So Mao Pi said that this is where Cao Cao surpassed others, because there are too many hypocrites in this world. Mao Zonggang and his son don't like Cao Cao. It is said that this is Cao Cao's extraordinary place, so it should be extraordinary.
