The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans can think.
But the scariest thing about humans is also their ability to think.
Take the matter of working for wages as an example. If people don't think, just mechanically and numbly work, then work is just work, nothing significant.
But if workers start thinking, will they feel dissatisfied with their current situation?
It's like a worker on an assembly line. Every day, the products he produces with his own hands might sell for twenty yuan, the boss can earn ten yuan from it, but only gives the worker two yuan.
Is it fair?
When you don't think about this issue, it seems fair.
But once you start thinking about it, it's not fair.
So the greatest thing about humans is their ability to think, but the scariest thing is also thinking.
Sometimes thinking can destroy a social system that, although possibly unfair, can at least function normally. Thinking has the power of destruction!
