Chapter 165: The Theory of Human Freedom
The green rain weaves the mist on the black sea, and after admiring the rain here for a long time, Duhong came to the house, and the enlightenment and enlightenment were drinking tea and chatting around the small table, and the house was filled with the fragrance of tea. Ye Duhong moved a chair and sat down, poured himself a cup of fragrant tea, the fragrance of tea entered his nose, Ye Duhong took a deep breath, he forgot the troubles of war and the torment of suffering in the smell of tea.
Ye Duhong suddenly asked, "What do you think, what is freedom?"
Wudao took a sip of tea, touched the edge of the teacup, and said, "Human freedom is said on the basis of human nature, and human freedom is the freedom of human feelings." Is it freedom for a person to be locked in a room? From a human point of view, he has no physical freedom. So, what if he likes to be clean in such a room? It's free for him. Just as we are now, in such a boat, in the eyes of some worldly people who like to be lively, we are not free, but we prefer this kind of space, and do not like the complexity of the market, so we are free, but in the market to move freely is upset, and we feel unfree. So this freedom is very interesting, because it has to do with the human sensory system, with the human soul, and has little to do with the human body in general. So, my point is very clear, human freedom is freedom from the level of human nature. β
Ye Duhong took a sip of tea, and thought carefully about what Wu Dao said, the truth in the words was almost understood by Ye Duhong, and what freedom is, Ye Duhong still can't be fully clear, in other words, his feelings of freedom are not very strong. He said, "Teacher Wufa, what do you think?"
Enlightening the Dharma rubbed his hands against each other, thought for a while, and said: "People's freedom is related to people's soul orientation, some people pursue green grassland, and in green grass they are free, some people pursue the sea, and in the sea they are free, and some people pursue stability, and in stability they are free, and people's pursuit can not be certain, they can have different pursuits in different periods, as long as the existence of reality is in line with their spiritual existence, then people are free." On the contrary, if there is a contrast between a person's pursuit and reality, or even a great conflict, then the person is not free. It is very difficult for the soul of an unfree person to be shackled, after all, people are in pursuit of freedom, and only freedom can make people happy. β
Ye Duhong wanted to understand the Fa and said, I felt that it made sense, and said: " So, a person who doesn't like to eat chili peppers is asked or invited to eat chili peppers, then he is not free, a person who doesn't like peaches is asked or invited to eat peaches, then he is not free, a person who does not like war, is asked or invited to war, then he is not free, a person who does not like suffering, is asked or invited to suffer, then he is not free, we are here, we can be free, we are free here. β
As soon as Wufa turned his head, Qiankunzi appeared at the door of the house, Wufa beckoned, Qiankunzi ran in, Wufa said: "This Qiankunzi doesn't know whether he likes it on this boat or not, if he doesn't like this boat, then he is not free, this Qiankunzi doesn't know whether he likes to eat magic beads or not, if he doesn't like to eat magic beads, then it is not free to eat magic beads, and we don't know whether this Qiankunzi is free or not." β
Ye Duhong touched Qiankunzi's ice-blue body and said, "No, it's free." I had just been out enjoying the rain with it, and I could see the joy and tranquility in its eyes, and I could tell from it that it liked the green rain, that it liked the Black Sea, that it liked big ships, that it liked to be with me. I have fed it the beads, it likes to eat the beads, I can see its happy appearance after eating the beads, it likes to eat the beads, I will harvest more beads, feed the beads to it. β
Wudao took a sip of tea and said, " Sometimes, people are easy to impose things on others because of love, because I love you, so I want you to do what I want, because I love you, so you have to listen to me as I am, because I love you, so you have to do what I say, because I love you, so you have to follow what I want, these are restrictions on people in the name of love, and sometimes it becomes repression, this kind of behavior is to create unfreedom for people, it is painful, so people will let others not be free because of true love or false love, which is worth notingγ β
Ye Duhong picked up the teapot and poured the cup in front of him, and said: "I didn't ask Qiankunzi for anything in the name of love, Qiankunzi and I are really good together, I didn't impose anything on Qiankunzi in the name of love, we have been together for a long time, it is free, there is no problem with this." β
Wudao smiled and said, "I didn't say this to you, I just said a phenomenon, a kind of mistake that people in the world are prone to make, and there are many mistakes, and it naturally becomes a phenomenon. β
Ye Duhong also smiled and said, "Then how do we pursue freedom?"
Wudao said in a gentle tone: "If we want to drink tea now, then drinking tea is our freedom, if we don't want to drink tea now, and someone insists that we drink tea, then we are not free." If we want to drink, then we are free to drink some alcohol, but if we don't want to drink, and we have to reluctantly participate in all kinds of activities, to cope with all kinds of meals, to drink what we don't want to drink, then we are not free. β
Wufa drank half a cup of tea and said: "When it comes to freedom, sometimes we need to follow our feelings, but sometimes we have to consider some objective factors, we must ensure that we can be free in many cases, what should we do, I think, we need to establish a complete theoretical system of our own in our hearts, of course, this completeness cannot be rigidly understood, the completeness here means that the whole system can operate normally, if there is something that needs to be added or updated in the future, we can also operate." β
Ye Duhong nodded and said, " So let's pursue freedom all our lives, we want to be free all the time, people just want to be free, people can eat what they like, then people are free in terms of eating, people like to wear what they like, then people are free in terms of wearing, people like to live in what they want, then people are free in terms of living, but we still need to consider some situations, that is, what you eat, others may not allow you to eat, what you wear, what others may not allow you to wear, what you live in others may not allow you to live in anything, this requires us to be a fighter, and fight against the enemy of us, we always want to win, we must winThere is a long way to go, and we must go on unswervingly. β
Enlightenment and Enlightenment both raised their heads and laughed when they heard Ye Duhong say this, and both of them said, "You are enlightened!"
