Equality in an ideal country means that everyone is equally important and everyone should be respected. Not that everyone has the same wealth and social status. In fact, in an ideal country, the hierarchy is very strict and the division of labor is clear.
If a country or organization is compared to the body. The ideal country is an infinitely close to a healthy body. Eyes, mouth, hands, nose and various internal organs are equivalent to people from all walks of life. People from all walks of life need it, and everyone should be well protected. But everyone has different division of labor and different needs, so everyone leads a different life.
Take the demand for money, some people may pay more attention to family ties and give up money appropriately for family ties; Some people are willing to give up money for power (of course, some people use power to get money); Some people can't give up their immediate happiness, so they choose to live under the hedge of picking chrysanthemums. It's like we put cream on our face and hand cream on our hands. Our face costs a lot of money, followed by our hands, and unless there is something wrong with our internal organs, it costs almost nothing. But we also need to pay attention to our stomachs.
"Republic" is to imagine how to do it from the aspects of law and education in order to make this body absolutely healthy. It covers the customization of laws, the attitude towards people, the governance of the country, the selection of leaders, the necessity of existence in all walks of life, the establishment of disciplines, the rights and interests of women and children, the education of children, the needs of human nature, the views on the existence of poets and painters, the role of music and sports, and so on. Teachers can understand teaching methods, students can understand the significance of various subjects, PM can understand the methods of talking about needs (hypothesis+constant questioning why+extreme value+brain explosion), managers can improve their management skills, and psychologists can learn more about human psychology. A book that everyone should turn over.
