Seeing that Zhuangzi really agreed and went to their lacquer garden to be a town official, the official stood up again and kowtowed to Zhuangzi on the ground. No matter how Zhuangzi helped him, he didn't get up, so he kowtowed three times seriously.

This guy! Kowtow addicted?

"You said you? What are you kowtowing? Just thank me in your heart! Alas! Is! Seeing that the official messenger kowtowed to him, Zhuangzi shook his head and complained.

Taoist! It is not about the superficial form, but about the heart! The truth of the heart!

"Where?" The official got up and smirked, and said, "I don't kowtow, I am grateful to you in my heart, how do you know?" ”

"What do you mean?

Again? Just because you're kowtowing doesn't necessarily mean you're really grateful to me! Who knows what's going on in your heart?

Others come to me, tom, tom! Kowtow three times and say! I thank you! Does that mean gratitude? I don't even know why you are grateful to me, what are you grateful for? Who believes in your gratitude?

Again! What do I want your gratitude for? What can gratitude bring me? Zhuangzi said with a smile.

The official also smiled: "Yes, yes, yes!" It is necessary to be consistent with what you think in your heart and what you look like, so that you can prove that you are truly grateful! I'm truly grateful! On behalf of the people of Qiyuan, I thank you! I thank you from the bottom of my heart! Plus kowtow surface form thanks to you, the two combined! ”

Zhuangzi shook his head and said with a smile: "What others think in their hearts, only after communication and contact and understanding this person, we can know what he thinks in his heart." For those who don't understand, we have no way of knowing what others think! нéíуапGě.сОМ

And the behaviors and forms that are made on the surface are not necessarily real. Who knows what other people think in their hearts? Or is it one on the surface and one behind the other, isn't it? Pretending to be a good person on the surface, he is very kind, but he is vicious in his heart, how do you know without dating, right? He pretends to be a good person on the surface, and he is very kind in order to confuse others into being deceived, which is a means, and selfishness is their goal!

So! My Master said! Selflessness is the means, selfishness is the end! Selflessness, kindness, and how good you are to others are all means of dealing with the world, and the real purpose is still for yourself! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! But? ”

The official thought that Zhuangzi was talking about him again, and hurriedly explained: "Am I sincere? I kowtow to you, I am grateful, I invite you on behalf of the people of Qiyuan, all sincerely? I'm not selfish, am I? I have no selfishness at all! I am selflessly! I am for the well-being of the people of Qiyuan! ”

"I know you mean it! You're right! But you're also selfish! ”

"How can I be selfish?" The official was in a hurry again.

"Your selfishness for the well-being of the people of Qiyuan is your selfishness! How is it not selfish? That's selfishness! ”

"I'm not selfish! I'm selfless! ”

"Selfishness is not a derogatory term!"

"How is selfishness not a derogatory term?"

Zhuangzi smiled: "You guys! Why don't you want to admit that you are selfish? Why do they all tell lies? It's because! Think selfishness is a derogatory term and dare not admit it! ”

"This, this, this?"

"Everything is selfish! Human nature is selfish, so! Society is also selfish. Each of us is selfish! Our family is a selfish assemblage, or not! You can't be grouped together as one family and be different from other families! There is no concept of home.

Our family is a selfish assemblage, or else! If you can't combine into a family and distinguish it from other families, you don't have the concept of family.

The people in our place are different from people in other places, so! formed its own customs. If not selfish? Isn't it the same as the customs of people in other places?

Our Song Kingdom is also selfish, or else? Our Song Kingdom does not exist! It proves its selfishness because of its existence!

Our Great Zhou Dynasty is also selfish! Otherwise? Our Great Zhou Dynasty has merged with the surrounding countries, and the Great Zhou Dynasty does not exist. It is precisely because of its selfishness that it is distinguished from other countries and exists independently......"

"Me? I? I? How can I be selfish? I? ”

The official still didn't figure it out, and felt that he came to Zhuangzi for the happy life of the people of Qiyuan, where did he have the slightest selfishness? But listening to what Zhuangzi said, he couldn't refute it! Zhuangzi said: His "happy life for the people of Qiyuan" is his selfishness!

You are selfish and selfish for the sake of yourself, and you are selfish and selfish for the sake of your family, clan, country, and others. So! Selfishness is not a derogatory term! There is no shame in a person being selfish and a person being selfish.

The point is to see what you are being selfish for!

It is a person's duty to be selfish for yourself, as long as you do not affect the bottom line of others' survival. Only when a person is so selfish that he does not care about the life and death of others can that kind of selfishness be unacceptable.

It is also your duty as a member of the family to be selfish for your family. As long as you don't affect the bottom line of other people's survival. Only when a person is so selfish that he does not care about the life and death of others can that kind of selfishness be unacceptable.

It is also your duty as a family and team member to be selfish for your family and team. As long as you don't affect the bottom line of other people's survival. Only when a person is so selfish that he does not care about the life and death of others can that kind of selfishness be unacceptable.

It is your duty as a member of your country to be selfish for your country. As long as you don't affect the bottom line of other people's survival. Only when a person is so selfish that he does not care about the life and death of others can that kind of selfishness be unacceptable.

So! Selfishness is not a derogatory term!

Under Zhuangzi's repeated interpretation, the official laughed and felt that his selfishness was not shameful!

After talking about selfishness, Zhuangzi gave some explanations on "loyalty" and "faithfulness". Think: The practice of officials kneeling to death is the most stupid practice!

"Am I stupid? How am I stupid? To be a man is to be honest! The water that spilled out of the words spoken, I said kneel to death, kneel to death, and I will definitely do it! This is not? I haven't knelt until I die, I've only knelt for a few hours, won't you come back? I doubt it! You didn't go at all! You must be hiding somewhere and watching me secretly. This is not? I was impressed by my integrity......"

Zhuangzi suddenly felt that his head was big for a while!

"I tell you! I've been running for dozens of miles! It took at least fifty miles for me to come back! I want to see if you're still on your knees! ”

"Not yet? Not yet? "The official is proud again!" You are also a person of integrity! ”

"Am I honest?" Zhuangzi was so angry that he laughed. "I am an honest person, but I have never been honest with strangers, and I will not easily believe in the integrity of strangers!"

"This society needs integrity! Only if we are all honest, tomorrow will be better! ”

"Integrity is needed, but the bad guys are taking advantage of your integrity to achieve their goals! What do you mean by blindly advocating integrity without telling the world that integrity will be exploited by bad people? Do you play someone else's fool? We must advocate integrity, but we must also tell the world not to fall for bad people and be taken advantage of by bad people. ”

We must promote the positive, promote positive energy, the main theme, and also expose the false and ugly! When we listen to a lot of positive propaganda and feel how beautiful the society is, when we step out of the classroom and into the society, we realize that behind the surface is the real world! The life we experience is the real life of the world.

Summary: Behind the surface is the real world! The life we experience is the real life of the world.
