Chapter 200: Little Clever Gets Rich for a While
"Brother Zhuang! I don't understand what you're saying! Mai'er interrupted Zhuangzi's words and said.
Zhuangzi glanced at Mai'er, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Why don't you understand such a simple truth?" You're so smart, how can you not understand? ”
In Zhuangzi's memory, when he was a child, he was very smart and cute. How so? Growing up, but still becoming stupid?
In the firelight, the seller's face was red. There were still tears in her eyes, and they glistened from time to time. The night was already very deep, and the flames in the fire made a "crackling" sound, and the two of them were talking loudly. It's as if there are only two of them in this world.
Somewhere on the roof, a man in black was lying. The man was chewing dry food as he looked boredly at the two people around him and next to the fire below.
He heard and saw the conversation and all the actions of Zhuangzi and Mai'er just now. He felt that Mai'er was a good girl, and the combination with Zhuangzi was really a match made in heaven. One spends money like running water and doesn't know how much to spare. A careful, experienced hardship knows the importance of saving money. If the two are combined and live a down-to-earth life, the future will definitely be good.
I think so, but? Is Zhuangzi the kind of person who lives with peace of mind? He is the inheritor of Taoist teachings, and his life's mission is to spread Taoism. His life may have been smooth sailing, or he may have been displaced from home to home, or! You will be hunted down for the rest of your life! Maybe? One day, he was framed and killed.
Reunion in troubled times, not to mention his Zhuangzi, the inheritor of Taoism, is an ordinary person, and how many people can live and work in peace and contentment for a lifetime. War! After years of war, it is no longer possible for people to live peacefully. Bai Du billion hey, Yan, brother free of charge without bullet window to watch the next chapter
"That's your opinion! I don't think so! The seller blinked, tears glistening with tears in his eyes.
"And what do you think?" Zhuangzi asked with interest.
He snorted in his heart, thinking that this was right, this was the selling child in his impression. How can you not understand it? Again! Now I have a very high level of preaching, and I can compare with the master back then. If you talk about it yourself, try to be as popular as possible, and give examples as much as possible, it will be easy for people to listen to and understand.
"You said that you must hide money if you have money, I understand this, and I am willing to accept it. But I can live a better life and be more decent, so why should I pretend to be pitiful?
And also! Why should we help others? No! It's not about not helping others! But! Why should I help people I don't know? What can we do to help the people around us, the people we are familiar with, the family members, why help those we don't know?
This one! I don't understand!
The world is so big! There are so many people living in misery, if you can help you? Since you can't help so many people, it's better not to help! You helped this and didn't help that, those people you didn't help are still living in misery, and those you helped, they are not out of misery, aren't they?
Since you can't help, it's better not to help!
For example, Brother Zhuang, if you don't help others, you bring back to the Song Kingdom the property given to you by Qin Xiaogong of Qin State and Daliangzao of Qin State, and bring it back to your hometown, you can live with peace of mind, Brother Zhuang, you can eat it for a lifetime! You don't have to suffer for the rest of your life!
Brother Zhuang! Do you think what I'm saying makes sense?
Since you can't help others, it's better not to help! How good it is to live a good life on your own! Isn't it? And the result! You helped others but didn't help to the end, and you yourself! Life is so embarrassing again! Isn't it? ”
"This?" Zhuangzi was really asked by the sale for a while.
What the seller said is not unreasonable, and it is indeed the case! Born in troubled times, there are people everywhere who can't survive, who do you help? You helped this person but didn't help that person, others say that you don't treat everyone equally, but help people according to others. Again! If you help others, you only help others for a while, but you don't help them to the end, you still haven't solved the problem, have you? So! It's better not to help!
Whether to help others or not is your own business, it is your duty, no one says about you! Since you can't help others, it's better not to help! Keep your money and energy to yourself. I'm lucky that I can live a good life, and you can't live a good life because you're not lucky.
That's really the truth!
But? In the final analysis, it is useless to save people, but to save the world! Because the way of the world is broken. Saving people can only be saved for a while, and saving the world is forever.
Zhuangzi pressed Mai'er into his arms, and when he saw that Mai'er was stiff, he patted her back twice and said, "My master said! A smart person can be rich for a while! But it won't last long. ”
Mai'er blinked again, looked at Zhuangzi's face, and waited for an answer.
"The root of social chaos is because of these people who think they are smart. There is some truth to what you say, but it is not the best way to deal with the world. ”
"Why not?" Seller asked.
"Think about it? How can you suddenly become rich for no reason? Isn't it? ”
Without waiting for the seller to answer, Zhuangzi continued: "For example, me! If I were an ordinary person, Qin Xiaogong and Qin State's Daliang Zhai Wei Ying, would they send me 100 gold and other belongings for no reason? Will King Wei Hui send me 100 gold and other belongings? Isn't it? So! There is no pie in the sky! There's a reason why a person suddenly gets rich!
Don't think that if you have possessions and savings, you can make a good living, and if you don't help others, you can make a better living. There's no denying it! You can live a good life, though! That's temporary, not long-lasting!
When you are in trouble, when you encounter an accident, because you have not helped others when they are in trouble, so! When you encounter an accident and need help, others treat you with the same indifference and do not help you!
Unless! Pray to Heaven for eternal peace! But in troubled times, there is no time for peace at all. Born in troubled times, life is in danger! Who can guarantee that tomorrow they will be alive? Even kings, they can't guarantee their power and wealth forever! In fact, it also proves that the fate of princes and kings is only a few decades......"
"Brother Zhuang! Brother Zhuang! Mai'er hurriedly interrupted Zhuangzi's words and argued: "I didn't say that I wouldn't help others!" I said not to help strangers, people who have nothing to do with me! Our own loved ones, our families, and those around us are here to help! But! Nor unconditionally helped! I help him and he doesn't help my people, next time I won't help him again! The help is mutual! Brother Zhuang! I'm not so stupid or unenlightened! ”
"Hmmm! That's right! Zhuangzi nodded and praised the seller.
Seeing that Zhuangzi affirmed her, Mai'er was very happy.
"Actually! It's all just cleverness! Not the best way to deal with the world! It's all just a temporary way to let yourself live a good life for a while, not forever! For example, you just said that you have property and you think you can make a good life and live a better life than others, and you should enjoy the life, don't you? ”
"Hmm!"
"You think you deserve to enjoy this life, but those who can't even survive, and those who are jealous of how well you live, they will pay attention to you! Are they suspicious? Why are you able to live a good life? And they can't? ”
"Hmm!"
"It's been a long time! There will be people with bad hearts, or people who want to survive, and they will fight your idea. They don't have your way, they're going to steal, assassinate, whatever! The best thing to do is to assassinate you, and if you die, they can grab a copy.
Anyway! You're doing well, and others can't live on, and others will do something to you. So! If you want to live a good life, you can only live a good life for a while, and after a while, it will come to an end. That's why my Master said! Clever people are rich for a while! ”
"So? How can we live a good life? What about being rich for a long time? ”
"Live like everyone else!"
"Live like everyone else?"
"When others have something to eat, you have something to eat, and when others are hungry, you often eat too, like this! No one else will assassinate you! The so-called long-term wealth does not refer to material wealth, but to inner wealth! ”
"Rich in heart?"
"You feel that you are not ashamed of others, others are good to you, you have a sense of security, maybe? That's rich! ”
