People can survive only with material things. People, with ideals, can talk about life.
This is an era infinitely stimulated by the concept of "class", and there is no era that attaches more importance to survival itself than the era of consumerism - the endless material pursuit, as if it is ridiculous to talk about ideals, and probably only "cuties" talk about ideals.
This is an era in which everyone serves the ideal, because there are ideals and infinitely noble, working hard to cross classes, striving to transcend the cage of material, everyone in this era is such a real cutie.
However, this is never contradictory, because the world itself is a composition that is both non-contradictory and contradictory. The body has just crossed the bottom line of "food and clothing", but the heart is left in the memory of material scarcityTherefore, survival, unlimited material pursuits are still "ideals".This is not a weakness of human natureIt's just an instinctive biological memory, an instinctive reaction.
This is an era of awakening, but also an era of chaos, because after food and clothing, people who have broken through the shackles of material things have finally begun a "ideal trek" and began to pursue their own "human superiority" outside the animal itself. But how to avoid "clichés" in the red dustMost of us have finally returned to the metaphysical idealism of "man on man-class", which is the limitation of human nature
A friend asked me: Human nature is greedy, right?
I said, "No." Because survival is the right of every living being, including man, human nature is only limited, not greedy.
A friend asked me: Then human nature is good, right?
I said, "No." Human nature is greedy. Every living organism - everyone has the right to live, if human nature is good, there should be no "human superiority" and there should be no concept of "human superiority", with this concept, human nature is no longer good, and there is no so-called human nature is good.
Friend A: You have just asked a question and you have self-contradiction, and earlier it was said that human nature is not greedy, but only limited, and here it is said that human nature is greedy, and there is no such thing as human nature at all. Well, I can't agree with that.
I laugh. A friend asked again: So human nature is evil, right? Or is it human nature to be greedy?
I replied: Not true. Human beings have limitations, so there is no so-called human nature and there is no so-called human nature and there is no human nature and greed.
Friends laugh. Yes, the inherent evil of human nature discussed in "Guiguzi" does not exist in the dynamics of historyThe so-called inherent evil of human nature is a fallacy of people's understandingIt's like the inherent goodness of human nature has never appeared. Human nature is human nature, an ideology that exists in the dynamic development of history, there is no absolute good and evil, but there is absolute right and wrong.
Guiguzi is one such book, and he is hereThe dynamics of historyIt instructs people on how to survive and how to achieve their true ideals. In the dynamic of history, he also gave wings to his ideals, got rid of the shackles of time and space, crossed the barriers of class, and became a real man.
"Guiguzi" is a real cross-class treatise, regardless of whether it is high or low, it is a real tool book to guide people's survival and life, and it is a pragmatic philosophy.
He is not liked (promoted) by the ruling class, but is used by the ruling class precisely because of his cross-class nature and applicability. Many people in modern times, including me, are more respectful of "Guiguzi".
Because "Guiguzi" is not only a pragmatic tool book, but also a bookPhilosophy of Flowing Thought, he is different from other philosophies, such as Confucianism standing in a high position (for example) ** boss peddling products to the people below; Theology (Buddhist scriptures) is to guide people in how to do things from the perspective of God. Military science, standing in the perspective of the victor to repeatedly stand. SoTo truly learn and understand Guiguzi itself, my personal recommendation is to read it repeatedly and read it at any time.
It is precisely in this way that the author's argument will inevitably appear very one-sided, and even inevitably fallacious judgments in the subsequent interpretation due to personal situation, background, emotional factors, etc., so I apologize here.
