677 Life is Interesting
"This man is wrong! Mr! Fang Zhong listened to Lao Tzu's words and couldn't help but object.
"You think he's wrong?" Lao Tzu asked.
Seeing Fang Zhong's ghostly spirit, he liked it even more. So! Guide it up and let Fang Zhong continue. Such! It can develop children's thinking and cognitive abilities, as well as the ability to distinguish between right and wrong.
Of course he was wrong! He's so vulgar! Uncle Nangong Jing also said on the side.
"What do you say? Why is it wrong? Lao Tzu asked.
Uncle Nangong Jing rolled his eyes and said, "Then what if that's the case?" So! Some people think that eating, drinking, and having fun in life is interesting, then! Just eat, drink and be merry! If the king thinks it is interesting to eat, drink and be merry, he will not care about the government. As kings, they can't think like that!
So! The person who said that life is not interesting and we should give it a meaning is wrong! He was not right! ”
"So? What do you think? Is life interesting? Lao Tzu asked.
"Interesting!" Uncle Nangong replied.
"What's interesting?"
"It's fun that we live every day, right?" Uncle Nangong replied.
"Hmmm! Very good! When we live, it's interesting! Lao Tzu praised.
He didn't continue to ask Uncle Nangong Jing, not wanting to embarrass the other party. After all! People are not very old and do not understand the world. If you ask such a deep question, he can't answer.
As far as Uncle Nangong Jing's current answer is concerned, it is enough.
Oh, yes! As long as we live, it's interesting. How can you say that life is not interesting in the first place? Regardless of whether our own life is interesting or not, it is interesting for us to look at other people's lives from the sidelines, isn't it?
Not to mention that it's interesting to watch how other people live and be embarrassed, but it's rare not to find it interesting to look at animals and the natural world? As long as we try to observe, we will find it interesting.
"What about you?" Lao Tzu turned to ask Fang Zhong.
Fang Zhong is very sensible, when Uncle Nangong Jing speaks, he will be a listener, listening carefully and patiently on the side, not interjecting or disturbing.
From this point, it can be seen that although Fang Zhong was not from a noble background, he was well educated.
In fact! Although Fang Zhong was not a pure nobleman, he was no worse than a nobleman. Although his mother is a slave and maid next to Duke Lu (Duke Lu Zhao), she grew up in the Lu Palace since she was a child and grew up in the aristocratic life circle. Because he is beautiful, he has always been favored and educated.
Later, when she married Fang Jishi, she trained her son in the education methods and methods of the aristocracy. So! Fang Zhong received a good education from an early age.
And also! Fang Zhong grew up beside Confucius when he was a child, and he was deeply liked by Confucius. Therefore! He was also deeply influenced by Confucius.
Fang Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then said, "This person's words are wrong, only talking about the superficial phenomenon, not the fundamentals. So! It's irresponsible! ”
"Oh? How could he be irresponsible? Lao Tzu asked.
"In his words! So! Those who take pleasure in killing, they have a reasonable reason! Do they have fun with it? Then go and kill! Isn't it? Mr! ”
"Hmmm! Very good! You're right! What this man says is irresponsible! He only saw the surface of the problem and did not say the solution to the problem. ”
"So? How can life be truly interesting without killing? Uncle Nangong Jing asked anxiously.
"Yes! Mr? So? Is life really interesting? Those who think that killing is the joy of life, if you say that they are not right, then how can they live? Mr? Fang Zhong also asked anxiously on the side.
Lao Tzu looked at the two of them with satisfaction, nodded with a smile and said, "Okay!" You two! It's all teachable! Good! ”
"Sir! What are you going to say? Uncle Nangong Jing urged.
Fang Zhong also looked at Lao Tzu anxiously, waiting for Lao Tzu to answer.
"This person only sees social phenomena, but does not see the essence of the problem, does not see the solution."
"Oh?"
"Oh?"
"On the surface! Life seems to be like that, it's not interesting. Isn't it just living? Isn't it? If it doesn't make sense, we have to give it meaning, and then we toss. At last! Someone takes pleasure in killing! Some people take pleasure in eating, drinking, and merrymaking, kings take pleasure in enjoyment, and nobles take pleasure in luxury. There are also princes and kings, who take pleasure in fighting for hegemony! Isn't it? ”
"Yes!"
"Sir is right!"
Uncle Nangong Jing and Fang Zhong should be in harmony.
Lao Tzu continued: "So? Is life really interesting? What do we live for? What do we live for? As wise men, we have to think about this question. Especially in these troubled times, it is even more necessary to think seriously about this issue.
Am I saying this? You may not understand! Because! You are nobles, you have not experienced suffering, you do not know the suffering of the world! And actually! The world is very chaotic! The Great Zhou world is very chaotic! The princes compete for hegemony, and the people are struggling to make a living. The war is coming, and the lives are ruined! ”
"Sir! On the way to Luoyi, we have already seen a scene that we have never seen in the Lu Palace! We get it! My dad also told us that the Great Zhou world is very chaotic! Don't look at the situation in the Lu Palace, look outside, the outside world is very chaotic! Uncle Nangong Jing said.
Fang Zhong continued, "My father told me when I can remember, that the world is very chaotic. It is said that we were born in this troubled world, and we must first practice martial arts! If we don't have martial arts, if war comes, we will die early. And also! My father wanted us to study and be sensible from a young age! So! We know it! Da Zhou Tianzi is very chaotic! The Great Zhou world has been chaotic for a long time! Mr! ”
"Hmmm! Very good! The children can be taught! Lao Tzu praised.
I want to talk to these two little babies, but it is much easier than talking to Confucius!
"It is irresponsible for us to only see social phenomena and only comment on social phenomena without pointing out the direction! For example! You say that life is meaningless, but we have to give it a meaning, so? What do we want to give it a meaning?
What if you simply said that you want to give it a meaning? So! You're just irresponsible! Even! You are misleading others! As you said before, you still think that eating, drinking, and extravagance are life? I thought that killing was life. Because they think this kind of life is interesting, right? Isn't it?
So! Now here's the problem! How do we make our lives interesting? We want to show the world what we live for and what we live for! Only when we make the problem clear can we be a responsible and wise man! Do you understand? We want to be a responsible person! Responsible Wise Men ......"
