"Uncle Le!" Zeng Shen's expression changed, and he became very serious and serious.

"Say! What's the matter? ”

"Uncle Le! I? Zeng Shen thought about it, but decided to come down, and asked, "Me?" I just think: there is a big gap between Mr. and his thoughts, will this affect Mr.'s image and overall consistency? ”

"This?" Le Ge thought for a moment and nodded, "I think?" It doesn't seem like a big problem! Your husband's early thoughts were mainly on Zhou etiquette, benevolent government, on the restoration of the Zhou system, and on self-denial and revenge! Isn't it? And in old age! Especially after returning from traveling around the world, the year or two before death changed a lot. Before! There hasn't been much change, and they can all maintain the overall consistency! ”

"This?"

"For example! You may be talking about his last words, aren't you? It is evident from his words that he has become realistic. Or rather! I became theoretically connected with practice. He used to be! It's not so realistic. You have to talk to him, and he will only talk about assumptions and then talk about the future instead of reality.

For example! If we all repent, then! If the world is peaceful, you will be able to achieve the ideal world. Isn't it? Including you now! Zeng Shen! That's what I think. You like to base everything on 'what ifs' rather than reality. Isn't it? ”

"This?" Zeng was not convinced, but did not argue.

Now him! I have realized the mistake of this mindset of myself. His mode of thinking was influenced by Confucius and others. Yes! As the song says: everything is based on assumptions and assumptions, not on the basis of reality and facts.

If we do that, what will the future hold! We can achieve the results we want! Life needs ideals and dreams, and as long as we work hard, ideals and dreams will definitely come true.

Theoretically, it works.

But! From a realistic, factual point of view, it is not so easy. In all probability! In the lifetime of your life, it will not be possible. Although it can be achieved in the end, it is no longer your business, it is your children and grandchildren's business. Think about it: if you die in real life, do you still have children and grandchildren, dreams, ideals, and a future?

So! We need ideals, dreams. But! Be sure to combine theory with practice! Instead of detaching from reality and entering the world of imagination. We live in real life, in the real world, not in dreams.

Confucius's early thought was idealism, without taking into account reality. But! There is nothing wrong with self-denial, and there is nothing wrong with self-cultivation. It would be better if you put yourself in real life, cultivate yourself in real life, and maintain your own morality.

One word! Can you tell the enemy the rules? Can you tell the beasts about human civilization? And the enemy! It's no different from a brute! So! You can't treat them as people, you have to treat them like animals.

Confucius's thought, on the other hand, was built in an environment where there were no enemies. Think about it: in troubled times, can there be no enemies?

In times of peace, in times of prosperity, there are enemies as well. Because of cultural differences, because of differences in ideology and viewpoints, there will always be enemies.

So! It is unrealistic to build in an environment without enemies. Or rather! It's out of touch.

But! Confucius's moral cultivation is worth advocating and promoting. So! Confucius's doctrine and thought will always have its value.

"You can start with the aspect of moral self-cultivation, and try not to talk about his 'benevolent government' and the like." Lege suggested.

"This?"

"You know that, don't you? Your husband's last words, aren't they? Where else is there benevolence? Isn't it? Benevolent government? Only rule! How to rule the people of the world and give them a chance to survive. Isn't it? Domination is the goal! Only when you rule and the world is unified can you promote your benevolent government. Isn't it? You don't have absolute power, you can't unify the world, and your promotion of benevolent government is just empty talk! If you don't have the ability to protect your rights and interests from being violated, and if you don't have the ability to protect yourself, all your dreams and ideals will be unrealizable! Isn't it? ”

"This?" Zeng Shen said anxiously: "In this version burned by Zigong, there are many gentlemen's expositions on benevolence? This, this, this? What can I do? ”

"Hehehe!" Le Ge laughed: "As the Analects, as a dialogue, no! As a quotation of Confucius, a comprehensive record of Confucius's words and deeds does not involve 'benevolent government' at all, which would be biased and untrue. Isn't it? So! Yes, yes, yes. But! There is a focus on the surface. That is: the share, the amount of the portion. When talking about benevolent government, try to arrange it as little as possible. You know what I mean? ”

"This?"

"But! I think that some of the words that record benevolence can also be recorded. Other words! Words that do not affect Confucius's overall thought and do not expose the strong gap in Confucius's overall thought can be written. ”

"This?" Zeng Shen nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle Le!" I probably have a number in mind! Thank you Uncle Le! ”

"The gap between your husband's thoughts is very large, but! It didn't affect the overall consistency. Or rather! Not much impact. Because! It can only show the process of growth and maturity of his thoughts. His line of thought. How he went from being an idealist to a realist. ”

"Yes! Thank you Uncle Le! ”

"Therefore! Some of his troubles can also be written in. But! and does not expose him or expose his shortcomings. But! A kind of warning! For example! 'Lost dog', isn't it? What would you not dare to write in? Isn't it? ”

"This? Mr. was scolded and ridiculed, and he had to write it in? Zeng Shen asked in surprise.

"Write! It's just not the kind of writing that is exposed, but the kind of writing that is realistic. Only by writing in this way can the authenticity of the Analects be revealed! Exposing shortcomings is not the goal, talking about things is the goal! ”

"Yes!"

"Of course! You have to be able to bear it! Isn't it? Surely there will be people who will laugh at you and at Confucius and Confucius when they see these records. So! You have to be able to bear it yourself! ”

"Yes!" Zeng Shen said: "I can only represent me, and I can accept it. But I don't know if others can accept it or not. ”

"If you don't accept it, you have to accept it! Alas! There are some things that can't be hidden! Alas! ”

"Yes! Then leave it to history to tell! Uncle Le! Thank you Uncle Le! ”

Zeng Shen got the guidance, solved the doubts in his heart, and was in a much better mood. When the goal was achieved, he got up and took his leave.

"You go and say hello to Fang Qin, and promise to bring Zisi back during the Spring Festival! Go ahead! Le Ge waved the back of his hand towards Zeng Shen and said.

"Yes! Thank you Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.
