Chapter 670: Only by treating both the symptoms and the root causes can it work
"What the gentleman said is a big truth, I understand! But! How can social problems be solved? Confucius asked, puzzled.
"Big reason can't solve the problem?" Lao Tzu asked.
"How can a big reason solve the problem?"
"Do you think what I'm saying doesn't solve the problem?"
"This?" Confucius did not dare to answer.
In fact! That's what he thinks in his heart: he just thinks that the great truth that Lao Tzu said can't solve practical problems. Everyone understands the great truth, but if you apply the great truth to practice and life, it seems that there is something separated by a layer?
"Do you think I'm wasting my time by taking so long to explain the Tao to you?" Lao Tzu hit the nail on the head.
"This?" Confucius still did not dare to answer.
In fact! He really thinks so: what's the use of you preaching nonsense for half a day? Just one way, you spent nearly an hour. You? Alas!
It's true! My time is precious! I came all the way to Luoyi, not to listen to your knowledge! You say things that are useless......
"If I don't make the word clear, how can I tell the origin of all things in heaven and earth? Isn't it? Is this the foundation? I don't make the basics, the most fundamental, clear, can you understand the latter words? ”
"This?"
"I don't make the Tao clear, I said that man and everything are just one species, and you don't argue with me for a long time? Dogma for half a day? Isn't it? It's like building a house, you just need the craftsman to build you a room on the ground, or an attic in the sky, instead of having the craftsman dig the foundation and build the foot of the wall. That's it! The house on the ground is not stable, huh? Without a foundation, where does the loft in the sky come from? ”
"This?"
"I have explained the Tao clearly, and I have explained clearly the origin of people and all things, so that I can interpret the back. There is no foundation in the front, and you can't understand the back, and you argue with me! Isn't it? You answer me! Lao Tzu looked at Confucius and asked.
"But these big truths of yours have not solved social problems at all? Right now! What we are facing! How to end the situation of the princes competing for hegemony, end the war, and restore the appearance of the heyday of the Zhou Dynasty to the Great Zhou Dynasty! Isn't it? So! Mr! With all due respect! It's useless to make big senses! We must put the great principles into practice and apply them to life! ...... "Fastest update mobile phone:://
Confucius couldn't hold it back any longer, and said what was in his heart in one breath.
"Good!" Lao Tzu watched Confucius speak and listened attentively. Seeing that Confucius finally broke out, he was not angry, but happy. Or rather! Very excited.
"Sir! I'm sorry! Confucius heard Lao Tzu's applause, and then stopped. Under the effect of instinct, he still lost a no.
"Excellent! That's what I'm going to tell you next! Good! You are very perceptive! Now to you, it's a matter of course! Lao Tzu looked at Confucius and nodded with satisfaction and said.
"Sir! I'm sorry! ”
"Hehehe!" Lao Tzu said with a smile: "If there is no great reason as a theoretical guide, how can we deal with social problems well?" Dealing with facts is a problem that cannot be managed well. Only when we find the root cause of the problem can we cure it once and for all. ”
"Sir, please speak!"
"Social problems and social phenomena really need to be addressed, and it is useless to just talk about the big truths. So! Society needs people like you! ”
"Me?" When Confucius heard this, he was not flattered, but trembling.
"It's good that you start a private school for universal education! Only by popularizing education and improving the quality of the whole people can we be more conducive to social progress. ”
"Thank you!"
"And! The fact that you attach importance to weekly etiquette and self-denial is indeed a virtue and character that society needs, and it is also commendable. ”
"Thank you!"
"You said before that you want to build a circle of your own, organize people like you, form a circle, and lead by example, which is also very good! Society needs all kinds of talents! Especially in troubled times, talents like you and virtuous people like you are most needed!
I mean! You can't demand or force others to be like you! Because! The world is colorful and complex! There are all kinds of people.
Do you think that talents like you are the future of society and a better future for mankind? Society is harmonious, isn't it? But that's not what other people think? They may think that keeping themselves alive is the way they can live. Or! Just live happily ever after!
In a word! Everyone has their own different ideas. So! You can't force consistency!
So! You may be asking: what if it's not consistent? So? You will not be able to achieve your ideal world of great harmony.
But have you thought about it? Maybe someone else thinks the same way as you? What if I can't rule the world? So? How can I achieve my goal? Isn't it?
Others follow his ideas to achieve the unanimity of the world! Isn't it?
You may not get it when you say that! All right! I'll give you an example!
For example! A person who wants to be powerful and prosperous, their idea is very simple, that is, they want to control others, and others listen to him. And then! He can do whatever he wants.
But? Can he do it? It's enough to have you Kongqiu! For example, you Lu country! I heard! You Lu country also has a Ji Pingzi! Right? He also wants to control Lu Gong (Lu Zhaogong) as a puppet, and he also wants to control you for his use! But? Is Lu Gong willing? Would you like it? Isn't it? (Initial launch, domain name (remember _ three.)
"This?"
"The other way around! You think everyone in the world is like you, they are all Kongqiu! It's all about self-denial! But it's just your idea, after all! Isn't it? Someone else has someone else's idea! So! They won't listen to you! It's the same as you and Lu Gong don't listen to Ji Pingzi! Isn't it? ”
"This?"
"Don't say: your idea is right, it's wise, it's the future needs of humanity. But other people have the same ideas? Others think your ideas are unrealistic! Your thoughts are bitter yourself! Your idea is silly than that! In a word! Different people have different opinions about your ideas! Do you understand? ”
"This?"
"Alas! In order for you to understand the reason, it's really not easy, and the topic will be diverted while talking! Alas! Lao Tzu couldn't help but sigh.
Just now, I clearly talked about the topic of treating the symptoms and the root cause, but the result was divergent again.
"I'm sorry! Mr! I? Confucius thought to himself: I didn't interrupt just now?
"I mean: both the root cause and the symptoms! The main principle I am talking about is to cure the root cause and solve the problem from the root. And you! Kongqiu! Confucius! It is to apply your theory to social practice! This is a palliative! It is necessary to treat both the symptoms and the root causes, so that social problems can be solved slowly! Kongqiu! Do you understand? ”
"Me?" Confucius answered.
"I mean! You're doing the right thing! It's a palliative! But! And there is no cure! I don't understand or know the root of social problems, and the governance you talk about is only a symptom! They all only start from the superficial phenomena of society, and treat diseases with quacks: headaches and foot pains. ”
"This?" Confucius was a little unconvinced.
"You're not convinced, are you? Why do I say that you are 'starting with superficial phenomena and treating quacks: treating headaches and foot pain'? It's because! You only govern society according to social phenomena and social problems, but you do not tell the world: why do people live and what do people live for? The world is living in a daze, with all kinds of thoughts, is it strange that the world does not continue to be chaotic? "Fastest update on PC:/
