Chapter 813: The Relationship Between Home and State
"Love yourself before you love others. Love your spouse, love your parents and elders, love your children and descendants, love those around you, and love those around you.
To teach others to love others, to teach them to dedicate themselves to others, to their families, to their clans, to their teams, to kings, and so on, is to treat others for fools. Are others stupid? Isn't it?
Teaching others to love others first, collectively, and then love oneself may seem great and noble, but only a fool can believe it.
What do we live for? Isn't it? Is it for someone else's life? Isn't it? If you teach others like that, you will be treating them for fools. If you believe in such a theory, you are a fool yourself!
Others are not stupid, and you want to worry about them? Isn't it? You worry about other people, others don't care about you, and you say you are noble? Or is it great? Still is? Actually, you're a fool! Isn't it?
Others aren't stupid either, so you don't need to worry about them! And we all think about ourselves, then! Doesn't the world need others to worry about? Isn't it?
Don't be doctrinal with me that there are fools in this world and that there are people who need our help. Then I'll tell you! I'm talking about the majority of cases, not individual cases, individual phenomena.
Now crucially! Those who teach others to live for others, they mostly teach others to do so, with the exception of themselves. So! You have to take their word for it, you are a fool! Or! You've been fooled by them!
You may have to tell me what your husband taught you: kings and ministers, fathers and sons, and so on. Then I'll tell you! You are taking things out of context and only seeing a part of the social phenomenon, or the superficial phenomenon, without seeing the root of the problem.
How did the country come about? Your husband shouldn't have confessed to you! If you ask him, he will say, "The state has always existed." And! Always there. He's so dogmatic with you! Isn't it?
You shouldn't have asked any of that! Isn't it? Don't argue with me! Let me finish my sentence! If you listen to it, your mind will change, you will be my student, you will be a Taoist. If you don't listen, you're still yourself, you're still a student of Confucius.
Your husband, Confucius, only talks about the existence of the state, and what he says 'under the whole world, it is not the king's land'. That seems to mean that the state is eternal. Isn't it? Let you think it's like that, believe it!
But he didn't decipher the origin of the country? Or! He avoided talking about this aspect! Why? If he talks, his theory will not stand! Why?
Because! The origin of the state tells us that the state has existed for a long time, but it is not the former administrator. In the past, the country had previous administrators, and the current state was the current administrator, and the nature and content of the state changed due to the different managers. Do you understand?
I think! Only if you explain it this way, you may be able to understand it. Alas! Your husband won't get to the bottom of it. Or! He doesn't have the ability to do this, he only sees the surface of the problem, but he can't see the deep.
Let's just talk about the country! Different dynasties and different kings led different countries. You know what I mean? The state exists, maybe forever, or after a while it disappears. The existence of a state is a requirement for the development of human history. And those who run the country, they are constantly changing. Isn't it? Didn't you say? Once a son of heaven and a courtier? Isn't it?
So! Let's not confuse the concept of the state with the administrators of the state! Your sir Kongqiu! He may be confusing the state with the manager of the state. So! He wants to support the state and the managers of the country. He wants kings and ministers, fathers and sons, to obey the laws of the land, and not to disobey them.
This is because he confuses the two concepts of the state and the manager of the state, thinking that the state belongs to the manager and therefore must obey the law and cannot resist.
Not really! The state is the state, and the manager is the manager of the state at some point. The country we are needed, but! Some managers are not what we need. Because! Some managers may have used the state and its power to achieve their own personal ends, without regard for others. Even! harmful to others within the country.
Do you understand?
I don't think you can figure it out for a while. Alas! Since that's been said! Then I'll say a few more words! How did the state come about?
How did the state come about? Let's start with the individual. Fundamentally Lao Tzu consulted the historical materials, and he roughly saw the origin of the country.
Lao Tzu is the administrator of the Zhou Library, and he is the organizer and restorer of ancient books. Isn't it? He has a lot of access to books! Isn't it? So! It's easy for him to look up information.
According to Lao Tzu, when human beings were not yet so intelligent, human beings were similar to animals. Descendant! When humans become wiser, there is a matriarchal society. What is a matrilineal society? It is a mother-centered family and family group.
At this time, human beings only knew their mothers, but not their fathers. A family lives together, or a family of people lives together. When the family group is large, they live separately. But! It's all in the same place. For example! In a certain area in the middle of a mountain. The people who live here are all from a big family.
And then what! It may be the reason for the difficulty of life, or for other reasons, there are internal contradictions or external enemies. Such! The family can only unite to fight the enemy together.
There is great strength in numbers, and you can't stand up to others if you don't unite.
So! Human beings have a family view, a family view, and a regional view! As a member of our family, we must be united, and if we are not united, we will not be able to fight the enemy and we will not be able to survive. If your family members are all weak, then! Your family may be wiped out by someone else's family.
If there is an external enemy, and the enemy is strong? So! Our whole family is to unite against the enemy. Such! There is a family view. If the family members are not united, do not cooperate with each other, then! Your clan may be defeated or defeated in the fight against the enemy. So! Your family may be doomed.
Because there are reasons for the enemy, because of the reason for fighting for territory, there is a regional point of view. All of us in the same territory, whether we are from the same family or not, whether we are related by blood or not, must unite against the enemy. Otherwise! The territory on which we depend for survival has been snatched away by others. If we lose our territory, we can't survive, and we end up dying. Isn't it?
Therefore! In ancient times, people had different tribes. Tribe! It is the original state, the prototype of the country. Country! It was built on many tribes.
Sum up! Nations, tribes, families, and families exist to survive! The existence of the state is also for the survival of all people within the scope of the state, and if this principle is violated, the country will have to change its administrators. This current manager can't give the rest of the country a sense of security and make it impossible for people to survive, so! We must overthrow him! Isn't it?
And what your husband taught you is to be faithful! Be loyal to the manager, and simply don't see if the manager is a good manager. This! is wrong! Don't tell us that your husband wants to improve, that he wants to help the king to change. I just want to say! Your husband doesn't have that ability!
Before! The fallen three are an example! He can't change the king, because he doesn't have power, he doesn't have more power than the king.
Afterwards! He traveled around the world for more than ten years, and tried to do the same in other princely countries, but his dream was not realized. Why? Same reason! He has no power, no power over the king. Do you understand me? Zengshen? Son of Zengdian! Right? ”
