**The world is divided into three, the contest between human nature and power: interpreting the truth behind history**
In this fast-paced era, we seem to have forgotten the topic that was once frequently mentioned – common prosperity. Human nature is selfish, and this seems to have become a default concept. So why don't we talk about common prosperity anymore? Why does history always repeat the cycle of "if you divide for a long time, you must be divided for a long time"? Today, let's unravel this mystery and explore the truth behind history.
## I. Human selfishness, the root of the historical cycle
Human nature is selfish, and this is the innate nature of human beings. Over the course of history, power and interests have often been concentrated in the hands of a few, leading to social divisions and turmoil. The fundamental reason why the world in ancient history was always divided and merged was that this excessive concentration of power was this excessive concentration of power.
When we look back on history, it is not difficult to find that the phenomenon of "one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven" is not uncommon. When power is concentrated in the hands of a certain person or group, they tend to sacrifice the interests of society as a whole for their own benefit. This selfish behavior eventually led to the division and turmoil of society.
## The two and three kingdoms are the epitome of the power struggle
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms", as a historical masterpiece, vividly shows the period of the Three Kingdoms. During this period, the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu went their own way, competing with each other for territory and interests. This situation is the epitome of human selfishness and power struggle.
Behind the triumph of the Three Kingdoms is the struggle for power and interests between various forces. Everyone will do whatever it takes for their own benefit, even at the expense of the lives of others. This kind of selfish behavior eventually leads to the turmoil and unrest of the whole society.
## Third, the inevitable result of the concentration of power must be divided for a long time
However, history is always strikingly similar. When a certain force or group wields too much power, social divisions and turmoil are inevitable. This is because power is too centralized, which will inevitably lead to resentment and revolt from others.
This was especially true in ancient China. Whenever a dynasty reaches its heyday, it is often the turning point when it begins to decline. Because during this period, power and interests were often excessively concentrated in the hands of the emperor or a certain aristocratic group, which led to social discontent and revolt. Eventually, the dynasty will collapse due to internal contradictions and external pressures.
## Fourth, the inevitable trend of historical progress
Although history is always full of divisions and turbulences, "a long time will be united" is also an inevitable trend of historical progress. When society is divided to a certain extent, there is bound to be a force to push for the reintegration of society.
This power may come from a powerful force or group, or it may come from the common will of the general public. In either case, the emergence of such forces will promote the reintegration and development of society.
## 5. How to avoid the cycle of history?
So, how to avoid the cycle of history and achieve long-term social stability? I believe that the key is to build a fair, just and transparent social system where everyone can enjoy equal rights and opportunities.
At the same time, we also need to strengthen education and publicity to raise people's moral level and legal awareness. Only in this way can we fundamentally change the concept of selfishness in human nature and promote social progress and development.
## Conclusion: History is a mirror that reflects the future
Looking back at history, we can find that human selfishness and power struggles are important causes of social division and turmoil. However, history is also a mirror that can reflect our future.
Only when we profoundly understand the lessons and laws of history can we better avoid repeating the mistakes of the past and achieve long-term peace and stability in society. Therefore, let us learn from history and work together to create a better future!
