Chapter 391: Selfishness First and then Selflessness


This was Zhuangzi's first public preaching, and after more than ten days of preaching, it can be seen that it was very successful.

In order not to delay those who listen to the sermon, not to delay the peasants to farm, and not to delay the normal life of all walks of life.

From the eighth day onwards, he preached only at night and did not preach publicly during the day.

During the day, only a small stove is opened for a few people, for example, a small stove is opened for the sister-in-law's wife, a small stove is opened for the friends of the sister-in-law, and a small stove is opened for those who have heads and faces in Qiyuan Town.

In the evening, he preached from the dark of day for two or three hours, without disturbing the normal rest of the people.

Zhuangzi preached, different from Master Yang Zhu.

At that time, Master Yang Zhu preached, focusing on his theory of "not pulling out a hair".

And Zhuangzi, he preached the Tao first, and what was the Tao.

Then he talked about the relationship between man and all things, said that man and all things come from the Tao, and talked about the difference between man and other species.

Finally, let's talk about people.

The focus of Zhuangzi's sermons is on the individual person, the relationship between the individual person and the family, and mainly on the family relationship between parents and children.

Then we will talk about the relationship between an individual person and his family members, and the relationship between a person and his parents, siblings, elders, and children's descendants.

Then it leads to the relationship between the family, from the family to the family, and then from the family to the relationship with the people around you.

Use the analogy of comparing hearts to hearts to tell the world that others are the same as you, that you have the affection between parents and children, and that others also have this kind of affection.

Therefore, you should respect other people's parents and elders, cherish other people's children and descendants, and do not have any distinction between each other.

If you don't respect or cherish others, they will treat you like that.

If so, the society will be in chaos.

After explaining the root of chaos, Zhuangzi began to talk about how to protect one's parents, elders, siblings, and people around him if he protects himself.

First of all, you must protect yourself first, and only if you are alive, you can take care of your parents, elders, siblings, and those around you.

Living for yourself, this number of paths is consistent with Yang Zhu's paths.

Zhuangzi inherited Yang Zhu's theory, rebirth and self-rebirth.

However, there are exceptions.

Zhuangzi believes that it is oneself that can help others by surviving, rather than becoming a burden or burden to others.

Being born again, regaining oneself means that oneself is more useful in surviving and can help others.

It is in this situation that one is reborn and re-owned, not greedy for life and afraid of death, and not only concerned about oneself and ignoring others.

"For example: me, my parents, my wife, my children, we are a family.

When our family is in danger, when only one person can survive.

Whoever is in front, who is most likely to survive, can only be who, even if this person is our youngest child, he doesn't know if he can survive in the future, and the opportunity must be given to him.

At this moment, because he was lucky, he survived.

When our family is in danger, when our family helps each other to survive alone, if I feel that it is more valuable for me to survive, then we should not push, we must take the initiative to ask for everyone to help me survive.

For example, we face vendettas, where someone else kills us for no reason.

At this point, I had to survive.

Because I'm young, I've survived, and I can take revenge.

And even if my father and mother survive, they will not be able to take revenge.

Our children are young, and they have no revenge.

Even if they survive temporarily, they will still be killed by others.

My wife doesn't know martial arts, and she can't take revenge.

In other words, whoever has the most value to survive will be allowed to survive.

Don't be emotional, be sensible If this happens, two or three people can survive.

The same is true for what we should do, whoever has the most value to survive will be allowed to live.

Regenerate instead of being greedy for oneself rather than looking only for oneself Zhuangzi emphasized this point, because people in the world generally like dogma, extreme thinking, either/or, white or black.

In this case, though, it's a different story.

For example, if we are a group of strangers together, what if there is danger and we can only escape alone, or if several people escape, they are not our family, they are strangers, what should we do" At this point, everyone held their breath and listened quietly, waiting for Zhuangzi to continue.

"Luck is talking about luck at this time, and the same is true, helping people who can escape smoothly.

When we have the ability to escape, we have to escape on our own.

When we need everyone's help to escape, we can only regret it, and try to give the opportunity to others, to those who are most valuable, to children and pregnant women."

After talking about rebirth and self-rebirth, Zhuangzi began to talk about how to avoid danger.

"Some dangers are visible, some are preventable, and some are predictable" Zhuangzi talks about "rebirth" and "self-regeneration", and believes that rebirth and self-regeneration are humane and the instinct of human nature, which is the so-called "human nature".

It is precisely because of self-importance and self-importance that human nature is selfish.

The selfishness of human nature is a fact that we must face But in order to be able to live better, we have to cooperate with others, and we have to be selfless.

Therefore, selflessness is the means, and selfishness is the end Zhuangzi divides society into individuals, and then analyzes human nature as selfishness.

Now that he's going to do an integration, he's starting to talk about selflessness.

Zhuangzi believes that our parents are the most selfless, although their selflessness is also for selfishness, and if they are not selfish, they will not be selfless.

Our mothers, in particular, are the most selfless.

Of course, their selfless purpose is also selfish.

It is the nature of women to have children, and this nature is also a kind of how.

It is also to have a reliance, carrying their hope for the future, waiting, which is their selfishness.

Because they are selfish, they are selfless, and they work hard to raise us.

And then our father, the same selfishly.

If they weren't selfish, they wouldn't have given birth to us.

They have a purpose for giving birth to our offspring.

As for what the purpose is, there is no need to analyze.

Anyway, the purpose is selfish, but they are also selfless, they raised us, they raised us with their mothers Because they are selfish, they are selfless, they work hard and raise us.

We are human beings, so we are also selfish, so we should not be deceived by the selflessness of our parents and elders.

We must see the selfish motives of our parents and elders.

If it's hello, I'm hello, everyone, then let's work together Zhuangzi believes that although parents are also selfish, they are the first people to be selfless to us.

And they are more selfless than selfish to us.

It is to have a selfish heart first, then use selflessness as a means, and finally achieve a selfish goal.

Therefore, parents are worthy of our trust, so we must first have a selfish heart, and then use selflessness as a means, and finally achieve selfish goals.

The cooperation between people is like this: first there is selfishness, and then selflessness is used as a means.

Finally, to achieve selfish goals.

This is the kind of relationship we have with our parents, elders, and family members.

This is also the relationship between us and the people around us.

This is also the relationship between us and this society.

What is our selfish purpose, Zhuangzi said: We can only live in order to complete the process of life as human beings in this life given to us by the Tao
