The philosopher Feng Youlan summed up some points about ideal and reality, so we might as well listen to them and see what their advantages and disadvantages are.
1, it is a kindness for Sakyamuni to cut off his own meat and feed it to the eagle, but Gandhi is not the only one who opposes the use of Indian blood and sweat to maintain Britain's prosperity. Even if Sakyamuni is resurrected, he will not agree. The British ideal is not only interest, but also interest.
2, there is no law between countries, and there is not much morality. There are no eternal enemies between countries, only eternal interests. It is better for countries to talk about reality than ideals.
3. Ideal and reality are not antagonistic, but interdependent. Reality cannot be separated from ideals, and ideals cannot be separated from reality.
