Chapter 794: The First Step 194
Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, we have all learned this story.
So, is it Zhuang Zhou who dreamed that he became a butterfly, or did a butterfly dream that he became Zhuang Zhou?
We always laugh at this question, as if there is no need for a question at all, as if the question is like an idiot question that we don't bother to answer. Then, we'll talk about Zhuangzi's philosophical thoughts, Zhuangzi's philosophical system, and then we'll talk about Zhuangzi's life and so on.
I don't know if this story was written by Zhuangzi after he touched the truth, or before he touched the truth. It is even possible that this story is just a compilation of posterity. It doesn't matter whose work the story is, the key is the question raised by the story, why hasn't it been seriously thought about and answered?
The character knows that this is a fatal problem, so he turns his attention to other directions, what Zhuangzi's system of thought, what existential nihilism, what Zhuangzi's life experience, what various ancient schools of thought, and so on.
Moreover, the more you know about this, the more you will be able to gain the admiration and appreciation of the characters. As a result, no one cares about the issues in the story, and everyone is busy enriching their knowledge.
Hell, a question that can be explored to be false is easily let go. But those authoritative people can explain what is true and false, and what philosophical vocabulary they invented, as if they can't understand it, and the layman will be despised and so on.
Answering the question "Did Zhuang Zhou dream of butterflies, or did butterflies dream of Zhuang Zhou", which inevitably involves the reality of this world. So, if you think about it honestly, you can see that I can't be sure that the world is real.
And then, there is no escaping the question of whether the so-called me really exists, and there is no reason to say that I cannot be sure of the reality of the world, but I can be sure of the reality of me as a person.
Then, when I have doubts about the authenticity of my person, it is natural to think about the authenticity of the body and the mind. In this process, you may not touch the truth, but you will inevitably find that the knowledge in your head is actually just a distortion.
Inevitably, getting rid of the distortions in your mind becomes a matter of course. Since we can't believe in the distortion in our heads, we can only feel the flow of life, and a state of "not being afraid of life" will naturally arise.
"To know is to know, and not to know is not to know. ”
It is estimated that even Confucius did not do this, because once he did this, it would be impossible to think that the world was real. At the same time, we must also bear that the so-called way of a gentleman, the so-called way of a monarch and a minister, and the so-called benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom are all just artificially distorted.
I don't know that the world is real, but I take the world as real and have no doubt about this belief. Obviously, this violates the so-called "what is known is known, and what is not known is not known".
Just like the confirmation of time, how do I know that time passes in a linear way, how do I know that I actually had dinner yesterday, how do I know that yesterday was real?
All answers to the question of the reality of time should be expressed in the form of "I am aware of the ...... in my memory at this moment". Obviously, it's just the memory of the moment, and who can guarantee that their memory is correct?
Even if it's a video camera or something, it's just "I'm aware that there's a machine playing some story at the moment", so how do I know that the recording is real, or rather, how do I know that the machine has recorded it in the past?
I do not know.
Any truth about being a human being, any nonsense about life, should add these words, "In my limited knowledge, I think that being a human being should be ......", or, "The following are all conclusions based on my limited knowledge and limited observations, and are no different from myths and stories." ”
It's all just speculation.
So, what other books are worth reading, or what other books are so-called must-reads in life?
A character who likes to read will always be respected, and even if he is not respected, no one will loudly accuse him of "reading badly, you should stand up and make money" or something like that. It's really funny, it's clear that the characters are afraid of life, and only by making money can they gain a sense of security.
However, at these times, you have to pretend that money is not as important as knowledge, and even if you don't look down on poor scholars in your heart, you will say that you are good at reading. Maybe it's for the character's other attributes, or maybe it's just the chaotic self-definition of the character.
Who knows? Luckily, I don't need to know, I'm not a psychiatrist, and everything about the character should be burned. As for what must have a character, even if it touches the real, it must have a character in order to live in this false world.
I don't need to think about these issues because these waste issues will only stop me from moving forward. Once you get stuck in these questions, then you won't continue to kill the characters, everything about the characters will be there intact.
I don't know how many people in the world want to touch the truth, and I don't know how many people in the world feel unreal, or always feel that something is wrong with life. How many people will laugh and laugh, and how many will still submit to fear.
Of course, it's not a matter of courage or anything like that, it's just that the discomfort is not as strong as the fear. Once you reach the point where you can't bear it at all, you will get rid of any fear and any money, and then go like a madman to find the truth.
Just like me, whether or not to move forward has nothing to do with knowledge and wisdom, it is just a contest between the distortion of hatred in the mind and the fear of "no role".
There's no reason why I can't do what I can do.
Ha ha!
Am I something, as if I think I have ruled the world, should everyone bow down to me? Is this a trick of fear? Is this a character's survival?
Why do you think that these chapters will be issued, and why do you think that there will still be officials at this moment?
Since it's a guess, please have a guessing attitude, OK?
Yuan Changwen began to hate himself again, and it seemed that after so many years, saying some affirmative sentences seemed as natural as. The point is that these affirmations are not only full of assumptions, but also clearly fall into the category of "I think".
So, what are these affirmative sentences, and who is it that makes them fascinating?
Think about it, who wants to talk to a person who can only say "maybe", "maybe", "I don't know"? Who doesn't want to hear the self-confident rhetoric of others?
If I am liked, then it can only mean one problem, the attributes of the character are still very strong. My slashing has not improved at all.
Because, only the character will like the character.
