Preserve the divine principles and annihilate human desires!
In the eyes of philosophers and Fanatics, "divine principles" are not only abstract mystical principles but also tangible norms, teachings, and hierarchy that exists in reality.
They believed that people, driven by desires, often go against these divine principles.
Therefore, to uphold the divine principles, it was essential to suppress human desires.
However, this suppression often went too far.
The normal desires of people for survival, to escape hunger and cold, or to form families were seen by them as evil "human desires."
All were brutally suppressed under "divine principles."
The respected used reason to blame the lowly, the elder to blame the young, and the noble to blame the humble, though mistaken, it was deemed appropriate; when the lowly, young, or humble argued back using reason, though appropriate, it was deemed rebellious.
