[My 213 Life] 77: Being a Man and Being a Man

Being a human being is actually the most "hypocritical", because no one can tell the truth from the false.

Doing things is actually the most "real", because everyone can feel sincerity.

But it is the most "hypocritical" person who directs the most "real" life, which is a very interesting thing.

People in the world often take "inconsistencies between the inside and the outside" as their way of life: their own affairs are always bright, great, and worthy of praise from outsiders, but they will not talk about their own dark and evil side. The irony is that when others commit a little bit of unreasonable wrongdoing, they often stand on the moral high ground to insult and abuse all kinds of scolding, looking like a melon-eating crowd waiting to see a good show. And the reason is that other people's privacy has been exposed, so they have fallen into the ground, is it sad and sad?

"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations", this is the most true portrayal of "Zhu Zi (that is, Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynasty, the master of Chinese studies)". However, it was such a master, but he was treated unfairly during his lifetime, and was beaten to the ground by the court on a trumped-up charge of "pseudo-learning against the party", made a mess, swept away, and died with hatred, which is unimaginable to good people. Why? In a word, two words: politics!

After Song Ningzong ascended the throne, Zhu Xi reminded the emperor to prevent the left and right ministers from stealing power, which aroused the jealousy of Han Xuan, who was good at court politics, and slandered Zhu Xi's Taoism as "pseudo-science". The ministers of the imperial court were afraid of public opinion and did not dare to condemn Zhu Xi excessively. Han Zhou instructed his cronies and superintendent Shen Jizu to fabricate Zhu Xi's crimes-stealing his friends' family wealth, luring two nuns to be his concubines, slandering Zhu Xi's reputation, and making Zhu Xi, who has always been honest and honest, infamous. Since then, the attacks on Zhu Xi in the political arena have become more and more severe day by day, and some people have even openly clamored for Zhu Xi to be executed...... This dark period deteriorated, and finally after Zhu Xi's death, he began to clear his infamy, and was reinstated by later emperors as a scholar of the Hanlin Academy and re-named the title of "Taoist" master.

In fact, I am a very failure in "being a man", because I am neither gentle nor sophisticated, but very animal, so my "doing" is also very successful: I like to blacken myself. But, the most successful thing about me is living up to my heart – even though it's black, I love it. I like me like this, I like the way I save my little life when I'm good, and I like how lustful I look when I'm bad. Of course, I also like to be knowledgeable. Actually, don't be afraid if you don't have money or a partner, anyway, it's going to be for me sooner or later. When you think about it, how hopeful and beautiful life is!
