Chapter 981: The benevolent are not worried, and the knowledgeable are not confused

Zi said: "The gentleman is ashamed of his words and deeds." ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked habitually.

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: A gentleman thinks it is shameful to say well and not do enough. ”

"Hehehe!" Le Ge smiled: "It's okay to ask for this!" But! A lot of people just can't do it. Go on! Read on! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Confucius wanted people to say less and do more, rather than just saying and not doing or saying more and doing less.

Zi said: "The third gentleman is incompetent: the benevolent are not worried, the knowing are not confused, and the brave are not afraid." Zigong said: "The master is also self-taught." ”

"Interpret it!" Le Ge stretched out his hand and gestured and said.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: There are three aspects of the way of a gentleman, and I have failed to do it: those who are virtuous will not have sorrow, those who are wise will not be confused, and those who are brave will not be afraid. Zigong said: This is exactly the teacher's self-expression! ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said that he did not do it, but Zigong said that Mr. was humble and that Mr. had done it. Mr. is doing according to this requirement, Mr. life is just as Mr. said, Mr. is talking about himself! ”

"Zigong means: Your husband is boasting!"

"It's not! No! Zeng Shen hurriedly denied.

"Actually! It's Zigong who will pat on the back! Hehehe! Lege laughed.

"This?"

"Say no more! Just kidding! Read on! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Zigong Fangren. Zi said: "How virtuous is it? Husband, I don't have time. ”

"What do you mean? Interpret it? Lege asked.

Zeng Shen explained: "Zigong often comments on others. The gentleman said, "Yes! Are you really that virtuous? Is it that perfect? I don't have time to comment on people. ”

"Your husband is so direct! Hehehe! What about Zigong! He also has such gossip! Slap your sir's ass, that's top notch. But! I suspect that he must have spoken ill of your husband behind his back. It's just that! It's not that straightforward! Because! Can't he slap himself in the face? Isn't it? He slapped his ass in front of Confucius, if he was too direct behind his back, wouldn't he be a slap in the face? Others don't just point it out at once? Isn't it? ”

"Where?" Zeng Shen argued.

"Don't fight with me! I don't know yet? You have all taken the benefits of Zigong, so you don't dare or want to speak ill of Zigong. Isn't it? ”

"Uncle Le? Where? Zeng Shen became anxious again.

"Say no more! Read on! But! I'm not talking nonsense! A person who speaks ill of others in front of you will also speak ill of you in front of others. So! Zeng Shen! It's not me who stirs up a wedge between you, but it's true! Zigong will definitely speak ill of you in front of others! ”

"Uncle Le! Say no more! ”

"You don't believe it? Still is? Already heard of it? Like you! Zeng Shen! Zengzi! Right! You promised your husband Confucius to take care of Zisi, and Zigong! He gave you a lot of money to take care of Zisi. So! On this matter, Zigong must be talking about you behind your back! Do you believe it? ”

"Uncle Le! Say no more! I have done things according to my conscience, one is one and two is two, and I will not leave a handle for others to say! Furthermore! Zigong believes me! He's still talking for me! Uncle Le! ”

Seeing that Zeng Shen was reluctant to continue, Le Ge didn't say anything more. He didn't want to sow discord, and he didn't mean to sow discord. Isn't it? Speaking of which, he just said it.

Deliberately commenting on others actually shows that one's own moral quality is not high, and it is disrespectful to others! Perfect! Don't always find fault with someone else's certain stain to cover up someone else's strengths!

"Read on!"

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Zi said: "If you don't suffer from people's ignorance, you can't suffer from them." ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Shen explained: "Mr. said: "Don't worry that others don't know themselves, don't understand themselves, what should be worried is that they don't have the ability." ”

"Hmmm! Good! Be self-aware! ”

"Yes!"

"The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, as long as you have real talent and learning, you are not afraid that others will not know you."

"Yes!"

"What else does your husband say: wait for Jia to estimate?"

"Yes!" Zeng Shen Dao.

"Good! Read on! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Zi said: "Those who do not cheat, do not believe in billions of dollars, or are also enlightened, are virtuous!" ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Shen explained: "Sir said: Do not suspect others of fraud in advance, nor guess that others are dishonest, however, to be able to detect other people's fraud and dishonesty in advance, this is a sage." ”

"A word for the family!" Lege objected.

"How do you say that it is a family?" Zeng Shen argued.

"What is a sage?" Lege asked.

Zeng replied: "Don't speculate in advance, just watch the development of the situation, you are a sage!" ”

"What is a wise man?"

"Being able to grasp and judge right and wrong is a wise man!"

"You're making a tongue twister!" Le Ge said.

"How is it a tongue twister?" Zeng Shen argued: "A wise man is not necessarily a wise man, and a wise man is not necessarily so virtuous!" ”

"Hmm!" Le Ge hummed: "I won't fight with you, continue to read." In this respect, I sigh to myself, I am not as good as you and your husband. You, your husband and others are all in the same mode of thinking, chewing words and playing with concepts! ”

"How can you chew words and play with concepts?"

"No more! Read on! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! "Uncle Le's don't want to fight, and he doesn't want to fight.

To know! In the end, he lost! He can't compete with Uncle Le!

Confucius said: "Mound, what is a perch? Nothing? Confucius said: "If you dare to be a fool, you will be stubborn." ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Shen explained: "Lu Guoren Wei Shengmu said to Mr.: Kong Qiu, why are you running around lobbying like this? Aren't you just trying to show your eloquence and rhetoric? The gentleman said, "I don't dare to speak flatteringly, but I hate those who are stubborn." ”

"What do you mean, sir? It's not that he is rhetorical, but because others are stubborn, he has to be a good teacher and preach to others! Le Ge said.

"Uncle Le! That's not what it means! Zeng Shen said.

I thought: Uncle Le, you! Speak too directly! It's too ugly!

"How not?"

Zeng Shen further explained: "In the face of other people's accusations, Mr. said the root cause: it was because others were stubborn, and it was because others misunderstood him! ”

"Hmmm! We don't fight! Read on! ”

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Zi said: "Ji is not called its strength, but its virtue." ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.
