Chapter 100: What Do People Live For?


Yang Zhu spent three days preaching, and finally explained the sermon clearly.

However, the audience under the podium also walked a lot.

Because they don't agree with Yang Zhu's theory.

However, they could not tell the origin of human beings and the origin of the universe, the starry sky, the sun, the moon and the earth.

The Tao was different, and they had no choice but to leave.

When Zhuang Zhou started, he didn't understand what was going on, and asked Master Yang Zhu at night, but Master didn't tell him, just asked him to continue listening tomorrow.

By the third day, he still didn't quite understand what the Tao was.

On the third night, he asked Master again what the Tao was "You've listened to it for three days, and someone in the audience listened to it, and I understood it the first time I explained.

If you have a poor comprehension ability, you will figure it out that night.

The stupidest people will understand on the third day.

But you're still a kid, and you can understand if you don't understand it, so how do you understand the Tao?"

Zhuang Zhou thought for a while and said: "I think the Tao is a piece of, if it is a piece of, and then it has undergone countless changes, after countless years of changes, it finally became the sky above our heads."

Then after countless changes, after countless years and months, it finally became the sun, the moon, and the stars And then after countless changes, after countless years of change, it finally became the earth And then after countless changes, after countless years of changes, he finally became a human And then after countless changes, after countless years of changes, finally became a monkey, a tiger, a lion, and so on Then after countless changes, after countless years of changes, it finally became everything on the earth Then after countless changes, after countless years of changes, it finally became thunder and lightning, wind and rain in the sky And then after countless changes, after countless years of changes, it finally became something we haven't seen yet."

After listening to Zhuang Zhou's explanation, Yang Zhu was very satisfied, touched his beloved apprentice's head, nodded affirmatively, and said: "You understand correctly, the Tao may be a piece of, and then change, and finally change everything, we don't know what it will become in the future, we don't know, only later people will know."

After solving the problem of the origin of human beings, the starry sky of the universe, the sun, the moon and the earth, and the source of all things, Yang Zhu began to explain how to govern the society.

The first thing that needs to be solved is: the question of what people live for, and the question of why people live Some people think: since people are going to die, then we must cherish it when we live, so we must cherish life and live well, and we can live how we want to live and live the wonderful life of our life Some people think: Since everyone is going to die, life is so difficult and unhappy that they can't live happily, and it is better to die early and be liberated sooner, it is better to die now, and it will be a hundred Some people also believe that since all human beings are going to die, sooner or later, human beings, like other animals and plants on the earth, will die sooner or later Different people have different outlooks on life, so the world is in chaos The world is so big, there are so many problems The world is in great need of great talent The Great Zhou Dynasty divided the world into hundreds of princes, originally wanted to divide and rule, and the whole was divided into pieces, but the princes annexed each other and wanted to merge into one, and as a result, the Great Zhou Dynasty began to be chaotic Different people have different ideas for governing the world, and they all think that their own methods are the best, but the more they rule, the more chaotic they become In fact, it is not that there is no way to govern the world, but that the way to govern the world is wrong, most of the methods of governing the world are only to cure the surface, but not to cure the root cause, the root cause of the troubled world is that the mind is disturbed, there are too many ideas, and there are too many wrong ideas.

Therefore, if you want to rule the world, you must first cure the heart If we want to govern the world well, we must first govern people's hearts If we want to govern people's hearts well, we must first make people understand: what people live for, what people live for If the understanding is incorrect and unhealthy, people's hearts will be chaotic, and society will be chaotic Taoism believes that human beings are the same as all things, and that human beings live for a lifetime, just to live for the sake of living, and to complete the process of a life Live well, live well, grow old naturally, and live is the purpose of life If a person feels that there is no point in living, then the person is doomed To live is the purpose and task of life, and to complete the process of this life, it is the purpose, goal and task of life, so in the process of living, there will be many, many things, and there will be many things that need to be done In order to live, we must eat, and only when we have food to eat can we sustain life.

This is the bottom line of survival, and it is also the bottom line of Taoism When other people and other animals endanger our survival, the Taoists have to fight.

How to fight like this, there will be many more things in life, how can it be said that life is meaningless When the natural world has given us harsh circumstances that endanger our survival, the Taoists will fight.

How to fight like this, there will be many more things in life, how can it be said that life is meaningless When we were children, living in the arms of our parents, living under the scolding of our parents, our happy childhood, isn't it meaningful Childhood happiness, most people should have had When we grow up, men and women get along with each other and have love.

Isn't it a very happy thing for men and women to fall in love, how can it be said that life is meaningless?

When we combine men and women to form a family, have children, and support our parents and elders, is there no meaning in our lives?

When we are old, our children and grandchildren are full of children and grandchildren, and we see them happy and happy.

Don't we feel that we are very happy and fulfilled, and that our life is meaningless Taoism believes that life is just a passer-by of life, just to live for the sake of living, in fact, we are alive, to be able to live naturally to the end of life, is a very beautiful process, in addition to the above beauty, our life can also be engaged in what we like, self-nature and enjoy it In fact, life is not a boring thing, life is colorful, life is also colorful, in fact, when we understand why we live, each of us can live our own wonderful life.

But because the world is too big, there are too many people, there are too many ideas, and there are too many wrong ideas.

So society is in chaos Yang Zhu spent another three days explaining the meaning of life and the joy of being alive to everyone, dragging everyone out of the shadow of death.

In fact, we must face the reality that each of us will die, and death is an unavoidable fact for everyone In fact, we must also face such a reality: human beings, like all things on the earth, will sooner or later perish because of the changes in the environment, and will no longer adapt to the survival of human beings And the problem of our short life has not been dealt with well, so why should we bother with the question of when the human race will perish If we have such a calm outlook on life, the world, and the universe, our lives will be different, and we will cherish life more and live it well:
