I saw a story: the boss recruited employees and three people applied. The boss said to the first candidate, there is a glass window in the corridor. You break it with your fist. The applicant carried it out. Fortunately, it is not a real piece of glass, otherwise his hand will be seriously injured. The boss said to the second candidate, here is a bucket of dirty water, you pour it on the cleaner. She is resting in the hut at the corner of the corridor at the moment. Don't talk, just push the door open and throw it on her. The applicant went out with dirty water, found the hut, pushed open the door and found a female cleaner sitting there. He didn't speak. He spilled dirty water on her head and turned to work for the boss. The boss told him at this time that what was sitting there was just a wax figure. The boss finally said to the third candidate, there is a fat man sitting in the hall. Go and beat him hard. The applicant said, I'm sorry, I have no reason to hit him; Even if there is a reason, I can't hit people. Therefore, I may not be employed by you, but I will not carry out your orders. At this point, the boss announced that he would hire a third candidate on the grounds that he was a brave man and a rational man. He has the courage not to carry out the absurd orders of his boss, and of course he has the courage not to carry out the absurd orders of others.
General de Gaulle also met such a brave man. Yes 1965. There was a popular uprising in France, and students and citizens in Paris took to the streets, demanding that Charles de Gaulle, then president, step down. Desperate, Charles de Gaulle came to Baden, Germany. The headquarters of France in Germany is located here. De Gaulle asked the commander of the French army stationed in Germany to lead the troops back to Paris to quell the rebellion. But Charles de Gaulle's two requests were rejected by the commander of the French army in Germany, and he also persuaded Charles de Gaulle to give up this order. Later, Charles de Gaulle thanked the commander very much and praised him for bravely refusing to carry out his orders. He also wrote to the commander's wife, saying that it was God who sent him to baden-baden when he was helpless, and it was God who made him meet the commander. Otherwise, he may be a sinner of history.
There is only one definition of bravery, but the performance of bravery may be varied. Of the three applicants, it seems understandable that the first two resolutely carry out the boss's orders, but the latter refuses to carry out the boss's absurd orders, which is even more commendable. As for the commander of the French army stationed in Germany, it is even more commendable to dare to refuse to carry out the orders of the then French President Charles de Gaulle, which violated public opinion and democratic principles and spirit. This is unthinkable in a country with an authoritarian system. So courage is not only a manifestation of behavior, but also contains rationality and morality. Courage without reason and reason, morality and lack of morality are not necessarily good courage.
In our world, as far as courage is concerned, there are many brave people who absolutely carry out orders, but few brave people who dare to resist and carry out absurd orders. This is because those in power generally strongly advocate, cultivate and create the absolute execution of this kind of courage, and they hate the courage to dare to resist their absurd orders. Even after he discovered his absurdity, he would never forgive those brave people who dared to resist his absurdity. Even some things are obviously wrong, absurd, anti-scientific and illegal, because they are inspired and supported by those in power, and some people dare to carry out and do it bravely.
Courage is a commendatory term, which embodies a good moral character. Even when educating children, people often say that they should be brave and good children. But courage does have the premise of right and wrong. Regardless of right or wrong, the courage to absolutely execute orders for no reason is terrible courage, stupid courage, and the courage that despots appreciate and welcome. The most valuable courage is the courage to stick to the truth and the courage to be rational, and dare to fight falsehood, absurdity and madness.
