"That? Aren't people dead? Lao Tzu retorted.

"This?"

"If everyone can accept the fact that man is going to die, and the reality that he is going to die as well, why not accept the fact that the species will disappear sooner or later?"

"This?" Confucius couldn't answer.

"I can't take care of the things in front of me, but I can still take care of the future? Isn't it? ”

"This?" Confucius paused and found a reason to justify himself.

He said, "Man is going to die, that's a fact!" Sooner or later, I will die, this is also a fact. But! We have a heritage! We are dead, but we have sons and grandchildren. They can go on and on! Isn't it? So! The theory that the species will disappear sooner or later will cause panic in society! ”

"You? Alas! Lao Tzu couldn't help but shake his head when he saw that Confucius had found a reason to refute him.

He still felt that there was something wrong with Confucius's mode of thinking, which was too extreme. Only see the surface of things, but not the essence of things. Always generalize on the surface, and are unwilling to think deeply.

"Sir! Isn't it? Seeing that Lao Tzu couldn't answer, Confucius couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart and asked.

"You see only the surface, you don't see the essence of things! You don't see it at the depths! You only see the present, but not the root! Lao Tzu said angrily.

"What? Isn't it? Confucius defended unconvinced, "It is a fact that people are going to die, and sooner or later they will die." But! Do we have a legacy? Passed down from father to son, from generation to generation? Isn't it? Zhou Dynasty! That's how it's been passed down from generation to generation! Isn't it?

So! Sir, the theory of species disappearance you mentioned will cause panic in society! Isn't it? First of all! The Son of Heaven, the king, and the nobles will disagree and disagree with your point of view? They will only think that you are a lie! Mr! ”

"What you see is only superficial, and you still argue with me! All right! Then I'll tell you! Do you just see what is in front of you, but do not see the origin and inheritance of history? You only see the inheritance of the Zhou Dynasty, and you see how the Zhou Dynasty came about?

We've just said that before! Did you forget? Isn't it? The Zhou Dynasty was the Zhou Dynasty after the Shang Dynasty and after the Shang Dynasty fell. And what about the Shang Dynasty? It was after the Xia that the Shang Dynasty was born after the Shang Dynasty destroyed the Xia. What about the Xia Dynasty? How did the Xia Dynasty come about?

So! You only see the descendants passing down from generation to generation, and the Zhou Dynasty from generation to generation, but you don't see the inheritance of history! Isn't it? Do you admit it? ”

"This?" Under Lao Tzu's cross-examination, Confucius couldn't answer for a while.

"Only when you see the inheritance of history can you see a deeper level and think more deeply about the essence of social issues. You see the superficial phenomenon, and the solution is only the superficial problem. Only when you see historical phenomena will you think about solving historical problems. This is the realm! Your realm is not high, and the problems you see are very superficial. ”

"This?" In front of Lao Tzu, Confucius had to obey.

"After you interrupted, the topic was diverted again! I was preaching to you before, explaining the fundamental issues of life, so that you can recognize life, recognize the origin of human beings, and understand why people live. Outcome! You're interrupting with a superficial topic! Alas! I'll have to reorganize it again, or you won't be able to connect the coherence, and you won't understand it. Alas! You? ”

"Sir! I'm sorry! Confucius said apologetically.

"Actually! Let the world know that the fact that species will disappear sooner or later is not as serious as you say, and it will cause social panic. Are you panicking yourself? I think!

Don't interrupt! Hear me on!

Since we have all accepted the fact that man is going to die, and! There is also a way to deal with it, and that is the inheritance of father and son. But in the face of history, they still have to accept this fact? Dynasties are changing? Isn't it? It can't be the Zhou Dynasty forever! Isn't it?

Are you exaggerating? Will it cause social panic? I think! The Son of Heaven, the king, and the nobles will panic, right?

Because! After the change of dynasty, their beautiful and happy life may be gone. So! They will panic.

And for ordinary people, it doesn't matter!

For the general public, it is a very lucky thing to be able to survive. Isn't it? Where will they manage and care for the future? There is no future for a person who is struggling with life! Isn't it?

So! What you just said about 'causing social panic' is an exaggeration and a partial generalization. You only see the surface of things, but you don't think deeply about the essence and root of things!

When I interpret the disappearance of species, I want to tell the world that we have a correct understanding of life, the origin and future of human beings. Only when we have a correct understanding can we correctly plan our lives and the future of mankind.

If we dare not and cannot face the facts and reality correctly, how can we handle things correctly? What about solving the problem? Isn't it?

Since everyone is going to die, and the inheritance of father and son is unreliable, then! Why should we bother? Isn't it? Since this is the end, the future, then! Is it necessary for the king to fight for hegemony? Isn't it?

Without the idea of hegemony, there will be wars in the world? Will it be so chaotic? Isn't it? ”

"This?" Under Lao Tzu's interpretation, Confucius finally jumped out of his superficial thinking mode and had to seriously think about Lao Tzu's words.

"Maybe you're thinking in the extreme again, if there is no competition for hegemony among human beings? What would it be like without war? The world has become desireless? What about that? Is human life still interesting? Aren't humans any different from animals? ”

"This?" Confucius thought about it for a moment and felt that if there was no war, what would human life be like? If people don't have pursuits, is life still interesting?

"Then I'll tell you! The pursuit of mankind is not only war, but also the struggle for hegemony among princes. I'm talking about no war, no more fighting for hegemony among princes, that's also in the future.

Why? Because! It will take time for all people in the world to reach this level of awareness. Just like you think, be a person of self-denial and revenge, everyone in the world is Kongqiu. But is that possible? Isn't it?

"This?"

"So! Before the world reached this cognitive height, the princes still competed for hegemony, and the world was still very chaotic. Before the world has reached this level of cognition, human beings still have various pursuits. Human society is developing, and new things are constantly emerging. So! We must have ideals to pursue, but we must not be divorced from reality! ……”

"This?"

"So! We must first solve the problems we are facing and survive! First, we must teach others to cherish life and live well. Instead of! Teach others to sacrifice their lives for righteousness, and who else will be sent to death!

You can have this noble thought, that's just your personal thought, and you can go for it. But! If you use this to ask others, you are deceiving the ignorant people.

In troubled times! It is lawless and binding, survival of the fittest.

Let yourself survive first, and then negotiate with others and obey the new laws that we all abide by...... And then! It is the observance of the newly established law.

In troubled times, all the laws of the past are null and void. Otherwise! You are bound by the laws of the past, and those who have power bind you with the laws of the past. The end result is that the one who is in power is the law! ”

"This?"

"Rite! In troubled times, it is also invalid! In troubled times! Survival is the first place, there is no courtesy, there is no morality. It's all about surviving. There are people, there is existence, and then there is courtesy! It is the first people who are polite, not the first who are polite and then the others! ”

"This? Mr! Qiu disagrees! ”

"If there is politeness and morality, then there is no war?" Lao Tzu said loudly.

"This?"

"War! It's a battle of life and death! It's a struggle for the right to live! If you talk about etiquette and morality, where will the war come from? In the face of violence, there is no opportunity for you to be polite and moral......"
