"It's different!" Fang Jishi interrupted: "One is coercive, and the other is voluntarily accepted by the people. On the surface, using state power to promote it seems to be advanced, and it is a kind of advanced behavior of a wise man. But Lao Tzu said: If you want to hurry, you can't reach it! ……”

"What does it mean to be quick and not reach?"

"Haste means that it violates the law of the natural development of things! For example! All year round, it's a natural law, isn't it? You can't artificially ask for longer summers and shorter winters, can you? You can't let time pass faster. Isn't it?

For example! Grains and the like can only grow once a year, and you can't ask for two crops a year. Or! You can't ask for early maturity, or delay maturity, can you? That's nature! Everything has its natural side.

You may not understand this explanation! Let me explain it like this! The world is so big, and the population is so large! Isn't it? Everyone's thinking is different, isn't it? Especially at this stage, all kinds of ideas are popping up. Everyone thinks that their own ideas are correct, and that other people's ideas are incorrect or completely wrong. Isn't it?

You think that your husband Confucius's doctrine and ideas are correct, but others don't think so. For example! The Taoist Lao Tzu believed that Confucius's doctrine and ideas were wrong. Isn't it? What about others? Others also think that Confucius's doctrine and ideas are wrong, but they are right! Isn't it?

So! Your gentleman wants to use the power of the state to promote his own doctrine and ideas, it is radical, it cannot succeed, it is a kind of compulsion! And only you and your husband, and your husband's followers, you are a small group that thinks your husband's doctrine and ideas are correct. Isn't it? What others think is wrong, and you use state power to forcibly promote it, which is naturally unpopular.

Don't stress! What you think is correct, your sir's doctrinal ideas are the best! But! Others don't think so, huh? Isn't it? Do you want to emphasize? ”

Seeing that Duanmu Ci was so anxious that he wanted to emphasize, Fang Jishi forced his eyes to look at him.

After listening to Fang Jishi's explanation, Duanmu Ci had to nod and admit: That's indeed the case! Oh, yes! You think your idea is right! But others also think that their ideas are correct. So! If you force others to accept it, they don't necessarily accept it. If you force others to accept it, they may rebel.

And also! You can use the power of the state to promote your doctrine and ideas, and others will also want to use the power of the state to promote their own doctrines and ideas. Isn't it? So! From the perspective of the state, to manage society, the world, and the people, the state as an organ of power will only be used by others. So! This approach, which appears to be ahead of its time, is infinitely flawed.

The state exists because it protects the people, and when the state cannot protect the people, the state exists in name only. If, at a time when the state has lost the ability to protect its people, some people preach the supremacy of the state, they want to use the state as an organ of power to achieve their own personal goals. At this time, the state as an institution becomes an institution that binds the people, rather than an institution that protects them. In this period, the people are the victims......

"That? So what do you say? What to do? Duanmu Ci was so anxious that he asked. If we don't use the state as a power organ to quickly strengthen and promote, how can we make everyone in the world understand? How can we quickly save the lives of the world? ”

"Can you be in a hurry? Are you in a hurry? Fang Jishi asked rhetorically.

"This?"

"The world is already like this, can you rule him quickly? It's like the analogy I just played! Millet can only grow once a year, now! The millet has just blossomed and borne fruit, can you make it ripen now? Isn't it? So! It's useless for you to be in a hurry!

The world is already in chaos like this, how can you get him to get better quickly? It's like if a person is sick, can you make that person strong tomorrow? Isn't it? ”

"This?" Duanmu Ci looked at Fang Jishi pitifully and asked, "Engong!" So what do you say? What to do? How can we keep the world from chaos and how can we cure it radically? ”

"Let it be!"

"Go with the flow?" Duanmu Ci asked again: "When will it be natural?" When, exactly? There's always a time, right? If there is no one to govern and manage the world, I think! There is no hope! I don't know how long it's going to be messed up? ”

Speaking of which! Duanmu Ci was so anxious that he wanted to cry.

"Do it according to Lao Tzu's method, educate the people from the perspective of human nature, govern people first, then govern the world, and rule the world!"

"I want to hear about it!"

"Lao Tzu said! The combination of people is built into the world. So! Govern people first, and only by man, can the world be governed! ”

"That? How do you heal people? ”

"Don't teach others how to bow first, how to meet and bow down first, how to kneel and bow when you meet the king, and don't first promote what your husband taught you. That's comparing others to stupidity, isn't it? It doesn't matter if people meet each other or not, it is true to respect and admire others in their hearts! Isn't it?

Meeting and saluting does not necessarily mean that you really respect and admire others. No matter how standard the kneeling action of the king is, it is not necessarily sincere, and the heart does not necessarily regard the king as a king, but is only forced by pressure and the threat of death. Failure to bow to the king is disrespectful, and is punishable by punishment or beheading. In this case, the king is prostrateged.

So! People in the world don't have to follow your husband to learn what weekly etiquette is! Learn to be polite, no matter how standardized the action is, it can't represent a person's true heart! Isn't it? ”

Duanmu Ci interrupted: "So? What if it's rude? Isn't there no rule in the world? Isn't it? Isn't there no monarch, minister, father, son and son in the world, so isn't there a king or a king, a minister or a minister, a father or a father, and a son or son? Isn't it? No rules, no circle? Isn't it? ”

"Learn the rites! That was later! Fang Jishi explained: "Don't teach the world to learn etiquette first, Lao Tzu said!" First of all, we must teach the world how to survive! Survival is the first thing, and then we talk about what kind of social rules, rules, and etiquette are formulated! Got it? Everything has a sequence, it has not yet reached spring, and the seeds of grain have not yet been sown, so why do you think about the autumn harvest? Isn't it? ”

Duanmu Ci also wanted to defend himself, but was stopped by Fang Jishi's hand.

Fang Jishi continued: "Lao Tzu said! Teach others first how to survive and how to survive in any environment. How to survive in troubled times? How to survive with wild animals in nature? How to survive in different environments? This is the best and most practical thing to teach the world!

And then! Teach the world! Why do people live? What do people live for? Right now! I ask you? What did your husband teach you? He tells you: Why do people live? What do people live for? ”

"This?" Duanmu Ci thought for a while and said, "Sir taught us!" Live for others! Live for your family, live for your family, live for the world......"

"Sir should teach you! Live for yourself first! And then! When I have that ability, I think about how to live for my family, how to live for my family, and how to live for the people of the world. You can't live anymore, how can you save the world? ”

"This?" Duanmu couldn't answer.
