Chapter 59 You Are Human, Not Human

Xiao Wei’er’s appearance surprised everyone, but she was soon taken away by the nurse.

Although her injuries are almost healed, she is still a little weak and can’t run around outside for the time being.

Looking at Chen Tian and the others, Professor X smiled slightly and said gently, “Just in time, I’m going to teach senior students a lesson, everyone can go and listen.”

Professor X is the principal and also the school teacher.

But he is very busy, and occasionally has time to teach everyone.

The content of the subject is not ordinary mathematical physics, but some topics that guide students to establish correct three views, which are simply ideological and moral.

It is said to be a classroom, more like an office room, with more than a dozen senior students sitting scattered under the stage.

On the stage, Professor X was sitting in a wheelchair, exuding the breath of an elderly person, and his eyes full of wisdom showed a gentle color, and said slowly.

“Classmates, when a person has power that surpasses that of ordinary people, a little use will have a huge impact on the surrounding.”

“You think this person will choose to use Ability to promote the development of human society and become a hero to protect the weak.”

“Or will it be driven by desire, choose to rule society, be above hundreds of millions of people, or even destroy the world for selfish interests?”

With that said, the professor’s gaze fell on Chen Tian who was behind the crowd, and said gently, “We have to think about this, because that person is us.”

“As we who master extraordinary power, we must clear the boundaries between when Ability is used correctly and when it is used incorrectly.”

“And this limit is the morality in our hearts.”

“When a powerful Mutant has no moral restraint in his heart, is driven by desire, and uses his power indiscriminately, he becomes a tyrant.”

At this time, the Colossus cat raised his hand and said suspiciously: “But professor, you once said that morality is a kind of social consciousness, and there is no clear standard.”

“And we Mutants are excluded from mainstream society, what are the morals we need to abide by?”

“That’s a good question, what are the specific standards of ethics?”

The professor smiled slightly: “In my opinion, the specific standard of morality is that there is no standard, and it will continue to change with the development of the times.”

“If you want to find a specific measure, it is law, because law is the bottom line of morality, and morality is also an extension of law.”

“As long as you are within legal boundaries, what you do is still within the moral boundaries.”

“If you violate the law, such as using Ability to steal, rob, or even kill and plunder other people’s property, these actions must also cross the moral line.”

“And that’s why we’re excluded from mainstream society.”

“Because of the power we have, we can easily avoid the law, and we will not be discovered and punished if we do illegal things.”

“And most ordinary people who have no power can only abide by the legal circle.”

“Once you cross the circle, you will be crushed by a force called the law.”

“Even the most powerful country in the world, the president with the most power, is still bound by the law, but the binding file size is different.”

A student raised his hand and said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone: “Professor, but our Mutants are obviously very strong, why should we obey the legal standards of ordinary people?”

Professor X smiled slightly: “The reason is very simple, our Mutant’s ability is indeed strong, but the ‘power’ of ordinary people who occupy the mainstream society is stronger.”

“And we are just genetic Awakening, gaining great power, but still ‘human’ in essence.”

“If you have the heart to see ordinary people as slaves and low-level creatures.”

“Then in the eyes of the stronger, you will also be a slave and an inferior creature.”

“The so-called murderers, people will kill them forever, that’s what it means, so we must stick to our own moral bottom line and self-discipline, because we are ‘humans’.”

The words of Professor X, let the students below ponder.

At this time, Chen Tian raised his hand: “Professor, I heard someone say that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and I hope that those with power will take on more social responsibilities.”

“But I don’t think this sentence is right. Why do I need to take more responsibility when I am powerful?”

“Can’t I choose to be simpler and ordinary after I have power?”

Professor X was silent for a while, and then said, “Yes, this sentence is indeed wrong.”

“The correct statement should be that the greater the ability, the greater the rights, and then the greater the responsibility.”

“If you have acquired rights, you should shoulder the corresponding responsibilities. This is your return to those who gave you rights, and it is an equivalent exchange.”

“And when you choose not to have rights, there is no reason to assume responsibilities that do not belong to you.”

Speaking of which, Professor X said slowly: “But ‘human’ is a social creature. To use an old saying in the East, it’s called “under the nest, how can there be an egg.”

“If one day, the world suffers a devastating disaster, those strong people who did not want to take responsibility must stand up.”

“The purpose of standing up is not for any responsibility, nor for any ethnic group, but for yourself.”

“Because when the world is destroyed and the ethnic group is erased, then your existence as a ‘human’ is also erased. You were human at that time, and you are no longer human.”

“Just a lonely wanderer.”

Professor X’s class is more like an academic seminar, with a relaxed atmosphere, but the content is thought-provoking.
