But Confucius always felt that Lao Tzu and his Taoism were too pessimistic and negative. If everyone understands it this way, then! What else is the meaning of human life? Isn't it the same as a brute? Isn't it?

Anyway! According to Lao Tzu's Taoist theory, sooner or later human beings will disappear, and human civilization, culture, and so on will not exist. If there were this guiding ideology, would human life still be so positive? Isn't it?

So! Confucius did not accept Lao Tzu's Taoist theories.

He thinks! We should be proactive in facing life, and we can't always think about death. If you keep thinking about death, what is the meaning of life? Isn't it?

Human beings may be as Lao Tzu's Taoist theory says: they may disappear like other species. But! Confucius thought: I don't know when it is, maybe it is not found in us. So! We should also live an active life.

And also! Even if we die, we still have future generations, and we still have future generations, don't we? So! We can't afford to let the moment come to an outcome that we don't know when.

I still don't know if Lao Tzu's prophecy is true? Or when will it appear? Isn't it? Is it a mistake if we give up hope in life?

And also! What if we give up hope in life, but our children and grandchildren don't? Isn't it?

We only represent us, not our children and grandchildren, don't we?

If we give up hope in life, then! Are we of no use to future generations? Isn't it?

Or rather! If it affects the lives of future generations because we have given up hope in life, then? Are we too irresponsible?

For example! We didn't work hard to live, we didn't accumulate property for future generations, so that future generations could not live well. Is that our responsibility? Is it our fault? Isn't it? Maybe if we work harder, future generations will live better? Isn't it?

And the Taoists think: what do you care? Future generations are not fools? Want you to worry about them?

But Confucius thinks! You are irresponsible! You have failed to fulfill your responsibilities to your spouse, parents, elders, siblings.

Taoists believe that you are hoarding property and possessions, and the result of this will not only make your children and grandchildren lazy, but also squeeze the living space of other people.

You occupy the whole world as you own, let your children and grandchildren be nobles, enslave others, you are immoral, you are in troubled times. Your behavior may seem high-sounding and popular, but the results can be severe.

Imagine! All go to hoard wealth and occupy the world, then! How do others live? Others were born to be enslaved by you?

Not only Taoism is for survival, but people in the world instinctively are all for survival, and if you squeeze the living space of others, it will inevitably cause others to resist. Therefore! The world is in chaos.

If you don't encircle the world, don't hoard your possessions, and aim for basic survival, then! Others' living space will be more relaxed. If others have a living space, will they still resist?

Thoughts for future generations are good, thoughts for spouses are good, ideas for parents, elders, siblings are good, but! Stop! Don't overdo it. It is enough to ensure their survival, and if it is excessive, it will inevitably cause troubled times.

This is not to prevent the development and progress of human civilization, but! What is the purpose of the development and progress of civilization? But it's all about surviving and living better?

Survival is the purpose of development! Develop! It is in the service of survival.

Blindly advocating and advocating the development of human civilization and science and technology is a wrong idea! Development is for survival, and survival is the purpose of development!

So! Confucius believed that life should be active and proactive, and only see the superficial problems, but not the deep problems.

Lao Tzu saw that it was a deep-seated and fundamental problem, and believed that man and all things were just a process of life, and they were just to complete the process of this life. So! How to survive is the goal!

What is development? It's just an effort to survive, to survive. So! It would be a mistake to blindly advocate human civilization and pursue the development of science and technology!

If technological development affects our survival, then! That's what we're going to do. Otherwise! We are defeated by someone else's high technology. In fact! In the end, development is in the service of survival.

Survive! is the ultimate goal.

Although the Taoist theory proposed by Lao Tzu is a blow to mankind, but! But it's to the point. In fact! It's not negative, but it's a slap in the face to wake up the world.

If you wake up, you will be able to live a happy life. If you don't wake up, you'll only be a lifetime of mediocrity and fatigue. It seems that life is very positive, but in fact, it is all in vain, and in the end there is nothing. Or rather! Think of life as a toss.

In fact! Lao Tzu and Taoism did not let us inaction, but some people maliciously misinterpreted Taoist inaction. Taoist inaction is not tossing, but in order to survive, they have to work hard.

In order to take care of their spouses, children, descendants, parents, elders, siblings, they all need to work hard. So! How can we do inaction? How can you do it without working hard?

At least! You're going to have to keep yourself alive, huh? In order to survive, you have to work hard.

Your ability is limited, you can't take care of your spouse, children, parents, elders, brothers and sisters, but you have to work hard for your own survival?

And if you work too hard, you become a rich man and a nobleman, and your descendants become a rich second generation and a nobleman, then is their life of not working hard still interesting? Have you taken this into account?

That's how history has come from, it's useless to occupy the world, you can't shelter your children and grandchildren for thousands of generations, it will only cause others to resist. If you don't give others room to live, sooner or later you will be changed to a 'dynasty'.

Confucius thought that Lao Tzu's Taoism was not active enough, so! He was unwilling to listen. But! I think there is a certain amount of truth in it. Furthermore! Lao Tzu also said that theory belongs to theory, and in the end, it is necessary to solve problems in reality and face reality.

How to solve the problems in reality, Lao Tzu did not elaborate. Lao Tzu just said that specific things should be treated on a case-by-case basis. Our purpose is to survive, and with this guiding ideology, everything is easy to do.

The general direction is here, but how to face real life?

So! Confucius had his own ideas, and he wanted to improve them on the basis of reality. So! There is his way: self-denial.

Confucius's thoughts, which are later Confucianism: self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world.

The main thing is self-cultivation, correcting oneself first, and establishing the image of the master of all ages. Only by standing can you not be afraid of crooked shadows.
