Before you know it, it's dawn.

The dew on the leaves could not resist the shaking of the wind, and when it dripped down, the leaves seemed to be much lighter and bounced happily. Throughout the woods, there was a hazy feeling that the water vapor was heavy.

Fang Jishi and Duanmu Ci have been talking until now, and they have not stopped. Most of the time, it's the cornerstone of the sermon. But because of his eloquence in speeches, there were often loopholes, which allowed Duanmu Ci to take advantage of the loophole and debate with him. Outcome! The two of them kept talking until now.

The sun rose in the east, revealing first a red edge, and gradually a great red face. And then again! It's just golden. The sun was shining through the treetops, and the grove was brighter.

"Whew! ……”

Not far away! The black pony let out a roar, swearing its presence. It's just that! Its voice no longer has the arrogance of yesterday, and it has become a little unconfident.

"Whew! ……”

The ordinary horse that Duanmu Ci rode also learned from the black horse and howled. Although the black colt was tamed by its new owner, it was still the king of horses in front of it, and had to obey.

Under Fang Jishi's explanation, Duanmu Ci finally understood something. Duanmu Ci is a descendant of Shang Jia and has a very good talent. It's just that! Under the brainwashing of Confucius, his thinking mode and other aspects seem to be a little rigid and patterned.

Pattern thinking, also known as routine thinking. To put it bluntly, a stereotype is formed, and there is a set of established patterns for people and things.

"My son Fang Zhong said! The doctrine of Confucius is immature! He only created a small world, but could not create a big world. No! Other words! His set is not suitable for the big world, and it is not suitable for the whole world!

Why? Fang Zhong said! This is only what Confucius himself thinks is feasible, but it is feasible in the small world he has created. If you let him go out alone, and he doesn't take a student with him, if he can mix with the world, if he can mix with it, he will be a good man.

There is also a premise, he cannot be as Confucius! Right now! There are his students everywhere in the world, and they all know the name of his Confucius. So! Once he is recognized as Confucius, it means that he is still living in the small world he created.

If he Confucius goes out as a stranger, others don't know that he is Confucius, and he uses his set, no one will hang him. Opposite! Maybe others still treat him as a monkey and tease him! Don't believe you? Don't believe you let him try? My son Fang Zhong said. ”

Duanmu licked his lips and said, "Engong, didn't you say? As long as our small world becomes a big world, our ranks grow, and there are more believers, our small world will become a big world. Isn't it? At that time, isn't it? Can the doctrine and thought of the gentleman rule the world? Isn't it? ”

"But when will that be? Isn't it? Think about it? What year and month will it take? Isn't it? Didn't you say? Far water can't save a near fire? Isn't it? Now the world is facing the problem of how to solve the urgent need! How to solve the problems in front of you, how to keep yourself alive, and! How to make your life better! Isn't it?

By the time you build the big world, you may not be able to see it, will you? Are you stupid? Why do things you can't see or enjoy? Isn't it? Although you say you are willing, and give yourself a great reason to think that you are wise, to see the problem in the long run. But the general public, think you may be stupid! Isn't it?

The masses of the people are, after all, the masses of the people, and they can't see so far away! What they see is what they see, what they see, what they see.

You can't ask everyone in the world to become as wise as you, can you? Isn't it? You ask others to be like you, to become wise, obviously! It's stupid, and it's unattainable. Isn't it?

Furthermore! You can't ask someone how to do it! You can only advise others on how and how! Asking others is an infringement on others and interfering with their freedom of life and belief. Suggesting others is respectful and responsible for others! It's up to you to listen to people or not, anyway, your heart has arrived. Just do your duty and do your best! It's useless to be in a hurry, you can only go with the flow! ……”

Duanmuci nodded and said, "Maybe!" We all live in a small world created by Mr. and when he is around, everything is fine. But once I leave Mr., I want to be honest in doing business with others, and I am very worried! Will others tell me about integrity?

Doing business with people we are familiar with, we don't need to explain so much at all, everyone is familiar with it and knows the roots. But when dealing with strangers, honesty is not used. You have to explain it first, and then! You also have to think of ways to deal with it, what if others don't tell you about integrity? Isn't it?

So! I'm skeptical too? It is useless for Sir to teach us that honesty is useless. There is no sense of trust and security when dealing with strangers. Isn't it? ”

"Isn't it? Isn't it? After listening to Duanmu Ci's speech, Fang Jishi seemed very excited.

"So say! This is the relationship between the small world and the big world! Your husband Kongqiu has created a small world for you, in which you are honest with each other and know each other. But in an unfamiliar environment, it is no longer applicable! Isn't it? You talk to strangers about integrity, you believe that others will only be fooled! Isn't it?

So! What your husband taught you is not applicable in the big world! In the big world, there is a set of rules of survival in the big world.

So! Lao Tzu teaches us! Survival comes first! How to let yourself survive, and then talk to you about integrity, and then make the rules of the survival game!

So! Lao Tzu taught us: Life is just a process of life, why bother so much? Isn't it? But! Survival is our bottom line! Our life and survival are based on not affecting the lives and survival of others, and the lives and survival of others cannot affect our lives and survival.

That's the only way! We can go and live freely. ”

"Actually!" Duanmu Ci continued: "After listening to Engong's preaching, I roughly understand! It's not easy to do that! It's true! It seems that our life and survival do not affect the lives and survival of others, and this seems to be easy to do. But if the life and survival of others do not affect our life and survival, it will not be easy! It's true! Especially in these troubled times, it's really hard!

For example! Kings and hereditary nobles! They have a direct impact on our lives and survival! If we want to live and survive, we have to affect the lives and survival of others! It's true! ”

"So! Lao Tzu said! Survival is a science! How to survive and survive better requires a certain amount of wisdom! ”
