Zhou, a famous college student, didn't want to starve himself because his family was poor and he couldn't afford to eat. So he stole lunch boxes for a living, stealing more times, and was finally found and detained. Not only ruined his own future, but also ruined the hope of the whole family.
Did you find anything wrong with this logical chain?
It's okay to be caught stealing. Although it is a few dollars lunch, it is worth catching.
But isn't it a bit heavy to be caught stealing? It is said that it has been stolen more than a dozen times, but the total value is only tens of hundreds of dollars, and at most it is only one thousand dollars. Are you qualified for criminal detention?
Low-value pickpocketing cases are generally handled by means of education, admonition and compensation for losses. Is it because they are famous college students that they have received special attention in punishment and increased their efforts?
Definitely not. Our law enforcement agencies are famous for their fairness, justice and openness. I believe that there will be more powerful evidence that is unknown in the future, and it will be made public in a lightning-fast manner, which will open our eyes to our ignorance of the law. Let's wait and see.
Being detained, according to common sense and realistic logic, this life is likely to be abolished, and he is the only hope of this family, so there is no suspense that this family will collapse.
These links are easy to understand, but if you don't understand some of them, you can't ignore the consequences.
What puzzles me most is the first link of the incident.
I seriously doubt that poverty is the whole reason why a famous college student lives by stealing lunch boxes.
I don't even think poverty is the main reason.
Common sense tells us:
There are still a considerable number of poor people in China.
There are also a few people who are so poor that they have no food and clothing;
People who steal because they are poor are very few among the few;
It is a very small number of poor people who steal lunch boxes, and more people steal other more valuable things.
There are very few poor college students who steal lunch boxes.
College students are famous schools and belong to high-quality people in society. Most people don't like stealing, and there are a few who secretly love each other, but it's hard to find a second one who steals lunch boxes.
From this we can draw a reliable judgment that conforms to logic and common sense:
Poor people may not steal, let alone steal lunch boxes.
It can even be said that the probability of committing suicide by robbery is greater than that of stealing lunch boxes.
Then Zhou's stealing lunch boxes is not simply poor.
Is it a quality problem? Is the legal consciousness too weak?
Many people think so, even condemning Zhou's character.
At first glance it makes sense, but it can't stand scrutiny.
Think about stealing a box lunch, which is the most basic and simple physiological need to maintain life. Can the life-saving things done to maintain life be judged simply by morality?
If we do not choose life first between life and morality, what about our morality?
Besides, stealing is immoral and illegal. Who doesn't know? Kids know that. A famous college student doesn't know?
Is there any irresistible force that makes a famous college student take risks to save his life regardless of morality, law, self-esteem, future and family?
I think so, too. You can think of a lot when you think about it. But many are only suitable for thinking, not for saying.
He may have a lot of pain and difficulties, but he can't say it. This became his own pain.
I can't speak for him
What I can say is some basic facts:
All kinds of state subsidies and aid to poor college students failed to prevent Zhou from being reduced to stealing lunch boxes to save his life.
Years of exam-oriented knowledge and professional knowledge of famous schools failed to give Zhou the ability to live by knowledge and skills.
Zhou's relatives, friends, classmates and teachers, for some reason, make Zhou seem to be in a state of self-destruction.
Why is this? Isn't that normal?
There is also a psychological fact:
At this time, I feel ashamed and guilty for what happened to such a stranger.
I condemn his stealing, but I am ashamed of his pain.
Voltaire said:
During an avalanche, not a snowflake is innocent.
I think suffering is the same. No one is innocent in the face of personal suffering.
We all participated in the creation of suffering more or less intentionally or unintentionally.
