"The gentleman taught us to protect ourselves and let ourselves survive first. Only if you survive can you take care of the people around you. Putting yourself first! First yourself and then others! ......," Fang Zhong continued.

Lao Tzu snorted and reminded, "The words are not finished yet!" Keep talking! In special cases, it is possible to put others before yourself! ”

Whoever is radically understood to be putting himself before others, then! It misinterprets the Taoist speech. Or rather! Radically understood.

Taoism is about "yourself first and then others", but! There are special circumstances.

"Thank you sir! I'm not done yet! Mr! Fang Zhong thanked. And then! Continue.

"When it is certain that it is more useful for us to survive, we put ourselves before others. When we have to die, sacrifice ourselves. Taoism also pays attention to 'sacrificing one's life for righteousness' and 'sacrificing one's self', rather than absolute selfishness. ”

"Hmmm! Very good! Seeing that Fang Zhong understood it very well, Lao Tzu applauded with satisfaction.

Uncle Nangong Jing sat on the side, and when he saw Fang Zhong's mouth hanging like a river and talking endlessly, he was very surprised, and he was also very envious and admired.

I thought to myself, this little brother of mine? He's a cow?

Uncle Nangong Jing is older than Fang Zhong, but! Fang Zhong is big. So! The two looked about the same age.

Although Fang Zhong is not a nobleman, he is also dressed like a nobleman. So! When the two were together, others thought he was also a nobleman.

"The gentleman also said! We also have to have ideals and dreams, but! Our ideals and dreams are just for the sake of living and surviving. And also! Mr. said! Our ideals and dreams cannot be unrealistic, and we cannot realize them by ourselves! No matter how long it is, it will be passed down from generation to generation, not without years.

What Mr. means is that our ideals and dreams should not be unrealistic! It's not for us to worry about what will happen in 10,000 years! We worry about what is in front of us, first of all, our own affairs, and then of our descendants. No further away, it's impractical!

Let's keep yourself alive first! Only if we survive on our own, this is life, it is our own life. We are all dead, what are our ideals, dreams, and lives? Isn't it? So! Sir tell us! Don't be fooled, don't be fearless! ……”

"Good! Very good! You understand it thoroughly! Lao Tzu praised.

"What situation are we in? Sacrifices to be made? Do you want to sacrifice your life for righteousness? Who will give it to me? ”

"Under what circumstances?" Lao Tzu is like a cross talk actor in modern society, and asked.

"Said the gentleman! When we can't live! So! Death anyway! What is there to fear from death! ”

"Good!"

"Said the gentleman! When our loved ones are in danger, we need to stand up and die! I also want to save my loved ones......"

"Good! But it also depends on the situation! Lao Tzu reminded.

"That's right! Mr. said! It's to be distinguished! Obviously, if you can't save it, you have to sacrifice yourself. So! You can't save it! In this case, it is wisest to protect yourself! ”

"Good! And what's more! Lao Tzu asked.

"Sir! When it is more useful for others to live than for ourselves, we can also die! For example! People who are in better health than us! Someone with a better head than we are! When their lives are in danger, we can die for them! This one of them! It refers to one's own loved ones, not strangers they don't know. For strangers we don't know, we just have to do our best and don't sacrifice our lives......"

"Good! There are many more examples to list! Say! Keep talking! Lao Tzu asked.

"In short! We need to preserve ourselves and keep ourselves alive. It is only in exceptional circumstances that we sacrifice ourselves to save others. The purpose is the same, to survive. Preserving oneself is for one's own survival, and letting oneself live is an eternal theme.

In fact! Sacrificing oneself to save one's family and loved ones is because of the needs of one's family and loved ones! Because they survive is what we hope for! So! We are willing to die for them!

Die! Very simple! So! Sir doesn't mean we have to make fearless sacrifices! Die as you please! But! In special circumstances, I went to die for my family and loved ones!

And also! It's to die for the family! Die for the team! Die for the people of the same front! Dying for humanity...... Wait a minute! The purpose is the same! It's not for us to sacrifice fearlessly! But under special circumstances, I had to die! …… Because! Our death can be exchanged for their happiness. Their happiness is exactly what we hope for......"

"Good! That's great! That's a great point to say! Lao Tzu praised again.

"So incisive! I'm taught! Uncle Nangong Jing couldn't help but admire.

"Me? Where do I say I? I? I seem to be off topic? I? Mr? Fang Zhong was emotional, and as he spoke, he suddenly found that he didn't know where he was talking about? looked at Lao Tzu anxiously, and asked for help with a face.

"Hehehe!" Lao Tzu smiled: "You didn't say off-topic!" You can come back! Just talking about the question of survival! Survival is our purpose! And then it comes to death. Under what circumstances do we make sacrifices, sacrifice our lives for righteousness, and sacrifice ourselves! Right now! You can go back to the topic and move on! You drink saliva first! Take a break and sort out your thoughts! ”

Lao Tzu said, stretching out his hand towards Fang Zhong and signaling.

Fang Zhong was not polite, and picked up the teacup with a burst of pouring.

After a pause, Fang Zhong said again, "Just now I was talking about living and living, and I was afraid of being misunderstood, so I said I was dead!" Meaning! We are Taoists! It's not just to live, it's to live for yourself. In due course, we can die too! But! We do not make fearless sacrifices. Isn't it? Mr! ”

"Hmmm! You go on! Let's just go down this line! Lao Tzu looked at Fang Zhong and nodded with satisfaction.

"What Mr. means is that we have to live for the present, for the happiness that can be seen. Meaning! We only need to take care of ourselves and our descendants, and don't think about what will happen in 10,000 years! It would be impractical to sacrifice what is in front of you for the sake of thousands of years.

For example! Let's assume what it will be like in 10,000 years, and then! It is unrealistic for us to abandon the present and submit to the wonderful world of our dreams.

Mr. said! What is in front of you is not what is 'in front of you', but it is an analogy. It means something that can be predicted. What we can foresee in front of us, what we can predict in front of us, what we can predict in front of us, is in front of us.

For example! When the enemy is strong, he may come to attack us, and that is what is happening now! For example! In this troubled world we live in now, there are many things that can be predicted! That's what is in front of you.

And also! The consequences of what we do, that's what we're looking for! We've just had a misunderstanding with someone, and someone else might come to get in trouble, that's what we're looking for......

Today is just today, no matter tomorrow, although it is also a matter of immediary, but it is too brainless. So! It's not 'in front of you', it's something that a fool can do. If you understand it this way, it's not that your thinking is extreme, it's a stupid comparison! ”
