Chapter 669: Treating the Symptoms and the Root Cause

"Your idea is good, you are bent on saving this society, saving humanity, and restoring the week system. I'd rather suffer a loss than persevere. Even if others say you're stupid, keep going. You are willing to sacrifice yourself, but you have to persevere. Your approach is still commendable. ”

"Thank you sir! Thank you! ”

"It would be nice if there were more people like you in this world! How nice it would be if there were half of the people in the world like you? What a better world it would be if there were people like you in the world? ”

"Thank you sir! There are still many people like me in this world! It's just that! A few are too few! It's just that! We are scattered all over the place, and we don't have a climate! Mr! When Confucius saw that Lao Tzu had spoken to his heart, he quickly replied.

"Hehehe!" Lao Tzu looked at Confucius's excited look and smiled.

"I haven't done enough! Kong Qiu thinks! In the absence of systematic education, there are so many people like Qiu, then! What if we were indoctrinated? For example! We have a special school to educate them, don't we? More people in this world? Isn't it? Mr? ”

Confucius said, looking at Lao Tzu with a pitiful look, hoping to be affirmed by Lao Tzu. Saw! Lao Tzu smiled at him and did not speak.

"Sir?"

"Hehehe!" Lao Tzu smiled and said, "Actually! There is no need to open a school to publicize it, people have been spreading their ideas since ancient times. ”

"Thoughts?"

"Thoughts! It's what you think! ”

"Oh!"

"Isn't it? I am also spreading and preaching my thoughts to you. Right now! Here's the problem! Do you listen or not? Lao Tzu looked into Confucius' eyes and asked.

"I listen! I listen! Confucius replied.

"I know you're listening, but! Can you accept my thoughts? ”

"This?" Confucius was directly asked by Lao Tzu.

Oh, yes! I'm listening, but! Am I willing to accept it all?

"It is desirable for you to open a school and professionally promote your ideas! Such! You can preach more people. To me! It can only be preached to a small number of people. So! I still support you in opening a school to preach and propagate your ideas. ”

"Thank you! Thank you sir! After receiving Lao Tzu's affirmation, Confucius thanked him repeatedly.

At present, Confucius Private School is only a school for universal education. In terms of moral education, there is no separate course. Although the weekly rite class is related to moral education, the content is not the same after all.

It was only under the inspiration of Lao Tzu that Confucius thought of opening another "thought class" to explain his thoughts, his perception of society, and his strategies for change.

The students of the thought class are selected from among the outstanding students. And also! Voluntary! If you want to go to this class, you can go to it, there is no class.

"Let's get back to business! Otherwise! You've been interrupted again! Seeing that Confucius was emotional and excited, Lao Tzu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

I thought to myself that every time I was talking about something, he would come out and interrupt! Hey! If you follow his train of thought, then! I diverted my topic.

This time, the topic is to treat the symptoms and cure the root cause!

Saying that Confucius founded private schools to popularize education, as well as Confucius's simple thoughts, are only a symptom, not a cure.

Outcome! Just said a beginning, and it was diverted by Confucius.

Every time it's like this, he wants to talk about a topic, a topic, and as a result! It was diverted by Confucius. And! It is also argued for this. If you don't have an outline of the topic, you will be confused by Confucius and lose your direction, and you will not be able to find the root cause and get back to the main topic.

Maybe? That's the difference in mindset!

Lao Tzu's mode of thinking is to grasp the whole and fundamentally, and then explain the problem. And Confucius! I like to "talk about things" and indulge in it and can't extricate myself.

So! Here's the problem! Confucius's mode of thinking cannot jump out of the topic, and cannot be grasped from the whole and outline. So! The problems he saw were only superficial and superficial.

And Lao Tzu! He likes to grasp the whole and outline from the whole, and investigate the ins and outs. So! He can see through the problem. In the details! He understands it just as well.

And the correct mode of thinking is to grasp the whole and then refine it.

If there is only refinement and ignorance of the roots, then! You look at the problem very simply.

"Sir, please speak!" Confucius nodded and replied.

After such a long time of communication and confrontation, he already knew that he had interrupted the topic of Lao Tzu again.

He didn't know what Lao Tzu said this time? So! Would love to hear it.

"I just wanted to summarize all the topics we've talked about before. Such! You may be able to understand and grasp it as a whole. Such! It's good for you. I hope that in the future, you will not only refine the problem and discuss the matter, but also grasp the problem as a whole! ”

"Thank you! Thank you sir! ”

"What I said to you before, the origin of humanity, and so on, is all about the whole. I said that human beings, like all things, are just a life process, right? ”

"Yes!"

"Human beings are going to die, human beings are just a species, and sooner or later they will disappear like other species. I'm not creating social panic, I'm getting to the root of it! It's a whole.

And you! I thought it might cause social panic, and told me not to say it again, or I would be punished. You're saying this from a superficial, superficial point of view. You are speaking from the perspective of the Son of Heaven, kings, and nobles, and you are speaking from the perspective of people who know the same as you, not from the perspective of people and human beings! Do you understand? ”

"This?"

"I'm talking about people, things, and people as a whole and fundamentally. And you! It is from the perspective of society and reality! Think about it? Isn't it? ”

"This?"

"I look at problems and like to look at the root cause of the problem. And you! Indulge in the facts! Did you find any? Whenever I outline things from a holistic perspective, you break down what I'm saying and argue with me! Think about it? Isn't it? ”

"This?"

"I said that human beings are a species, that human beings are going to die, and that human beings as a species may also be going to disappear. And you! Immediately connect it to reality and say that this will cause panic in society! Isn't it? ”

"This?"

"You have to understand that you are refining things from the perspective of facts. And me! It is from the overall level to outline things! ”

"This? But? Confucius found the reason and topic of "talking about things" again, and was ready to interrupt Lao Tzu's words.

"You say! I'm listening! That's what I'm going to explain to you! You speak first! I'm relieved! Then you get the idea! ”

"Thank you! Thank you sir! ”

In front of Lao Tzu, Confucius had to admit the flaws in his mode of thinking.

Oh, yes! I really like to look at things and refine problems, rather than grasping them as a whole.

What I see is only social phenomena, while Lao Tzu and his old people seem to see deeper problems, which are the causes and roots of social phenomena. Only by finding the cause can we cure social phenomena and social problems once and for all.
