Chapter 980: The Great Avenue of the World (1)
Seeing that Gongsun Yan's attitude was sincere and repentant, Zhuangzi gave him a targeted one-on-one sermon. Eight? One in one? Wen???. (a) 8 (a) 1 Z (8) ?. (viii) C?O(viii) M
Although the current Zhuangzi has not preached publicly for a long time, he has not preached openly to many people. But! One-on-one preaching is still a regular occurrence. Not to mention preaching to the disciples, at least! When he was at home, he preached one-on-one to his children.
The children were all led by him and learned the Tao from scratch. But after all, children are young and have limited receptivity! Furthermore! Children's perception of the world is also very one-sided, so! Preaching to children is not an easy task.
But! He also taught his children, all of whom were inheritors of Taoism.
In these years, in addition to writing books and preaching, Zhuangzi also preached to those who came to seek advice.
In terms of writing books and sayings, he doesn't have to worry much, and with his sister-in-law and Zhang Shan, he saves a lot of trouble. He only needs to tell Zhang Shan what he wants to write, and then Zhang Shan will write it, and then his sister-in-law will proofread it, and after the final draft, Zhang Shan will burn it.
Over the years, Zhuangzi secretly brought many disciples. In order not to attract the attention and suspicion of Song Kuocheng and Song Yan, it has always been carried out in secret. The disciples also knew the Master's difficulties, and they all volunteered to keep the secret.
Taoism does not pay attention to the situation and does not make superficial statements. So! I don't care about the status of master and apprentice, but what I care about is the heart and the facts.
So! After all these years of preaching, Zhuangzi was experienced in one-on-one preaching.
Zhuangzi told Gongsun Yan that if he wants to save this society and save the people in the world, it is not difficult, and the method is simple. That is! Save yourself first.
Don't use the banner of saving the people in the world, saying that you are here to save the people in the world. In fact! Most of the people who talk about how they save the people of the world, this society, and the way of the world are liars and fool people.
Because! The people in the world don't need us to save!
Because! Fools know to be afraid and cry when they are in danger. How much more are healthy and normal people?
Because! Wild beasts and beasts know how to resist and flee when they are in danger, let alone healthy and normal people.
Because! Plants also have ways to preserve themselves, and they can preserve their lives through seeds, root reproduction, branch grafting, etc., or let life continue.
It can be said! Everything in heaven and earth has a way to protect itself, doesn't it? There is no such thing as this species.
So! This society does not need others to manage and govern. (I haven't finished speaking, so please don't think it's anti-social and reactionary...... Please don't buckle your hat and engage in text injustice)
Alive! It is the eternal wish of mankind!
When a person doesn't care whether he lives or not, then! This person? Maybe? He had nothing to fear. Maybe? He's a walking dead. After all! In this way, people are a minority, not the mainstream of society.
Most people, have a strong sense of survival**.
In the face of a strong desire to survive, they will do whatever it takes. So! Under normal circumstances, there is no need for a life coach to teach them how to live, they all know how to live.
But! It is not that society and the country do not need others to manage and govern at all, but! The people of the world need to have that kind of self-government and understanding.
It would be sad if the world did not know how to govern itself and did not have this understanding.
What is autonomy?
Zhuangzi explains that self-consciousness and self-awareness.
Society and country are formed by the combination of individuals, if we understand society and country in this way, then! Society, the state, does not exist. Isn't that the truth? Society and the state have been reduced to pieces.
But! Society and the state exist! The existence of the state is a historical necessity! It is a necessary process in the history of mankind.
Society and the state exist! If we divide society and the country into zero, and we understand society and the country in this way, then! The nature of the state has changed.
After some explanation, Zhuangzi reduced the vassal states and princes to pieces. Or rather! It doesn't matter if there are vassal states, princes and kings, or the Great Zhou world. Right now! It's just us!
Taoism teaches us! No matter what era or country we were born in, we have one thing first, and that is to learn to survive!
Born in this era and era, we have this way of survival, born in that era and era, the environment is also different, we also have our way of survival.
Born in this country, I followed the laws of this country and looked for a way to live that suited me. Born in that country, I followed the laws of that country and looked for a way to live that suited me. No matter what country we are born in, we will always find a way to survive that suits us.
Isn't life all about living?
So! Life isn't that complicated!
No matter what country and any era, people will be given a chance to survive. Because! The exploiting class always needs objects of exploitation. The method of killing chickens and extracting eggs will not work, and without the object of exploitation, the exploiting class will not be able to survive. So! No matter what the circumstances, there is a chance for others to survive.
So! We need to save ourselves!
said that he wanted to save the world, if he didn't fool people? That's too great, that's too capable, it's not something that ordinary people can do.
So! As ordinary people, we first learn to save ourselves!
We are ordinary people, not so great, and we don't have much ability, we can only save ourselves!
Let me ask: If most of the people in the world have saved themselves, does the world still need those great people to save them?
If all the people in this world save themselves, do they still need your Gongsun Yan?
It is precisely because most of us have not been able to save ourselves that great men have appeared, and there have been countries and kings.
Are most people stupid?
No!
It's that most people don't realize that they can help themselves, it's that most people are too dependent, it's that most people are too selfish, it's that most people don't understand life......
In a word! As long as we save ourselves, we don't depend on others, we are not just selfish but appropriately selfless, we save ourselves.
Selflessness is the means, selfishness is the end.
But! If there is only selflessness or only selfishness, it is wrong, and it is not a way to save oneself.
Selflessness is the means, selfishness is the end.
Why should we save ourselves, and depend on society, the state, and the princes? There is only one purpose, and that is to survive!
Survival is a selfish purpose! All selfishness is for survival! Selflessness is the means, selfishness is the end. So! Selflessness is also about survival. When selflessness can't sustain survival, after failing to achieve the purpose of survival, fools will no longer be selfless!
Raw** is always human instinct**!
So! If each of us has a strong desire to survive**, do we still need someone else to teach us how to live?
Each of us has our own set of survival theories, it's just a matter of right and wrong.
Some people's survival theories are wrong, while some people's survival theories are vague, and some people's survival theories have no moral bottom line......
So? What is the correct theory of survival?
After talking about self-help, Zhuangzi began to talk about "how to survive the theory is correct".
