    Zheng Yuanqing received the examination card and came to his examination room. In addition to pens, inks, paper and inkstones, there was also a burner of sandalwood burning to refresh his eyesight. Apparently he was afraid that the candidates would be tired and perform poorly and prepare accordingly.  Yes, Zheng Yuanqing took a deep breath, and then opened the kit. These were the test questions for this exam.

    There are only three words in it, "Sage's Way". It is obvious that the question is based on the three words "Sage's Way". The one with the best article will be the best. Seeing this, Zheng Yuanqing couldn't help but be stunned. I am afraid that every candidate will be dumbfounded when encountering such a question.  They are just mere examples, how can they explain the way of saints?

    But Zheng Yuanqing just thought about it for a moment, and then wrote like a god: "The heaven and the earth are unkind, and treat all things as stupid dogs; the saints are unkind, and treat the common people as stupid dogs!"

    This is an astonishing statement, but if it is just a heretical understanding, it may distort the meaning of this sentence, but the real meaning of this sentence is that heaven and earth will not be partial because of kindness, and allow all things to operate naturally.  Add intervention.  The saint will not show preference because of his kindness, and will allow the people to control their own destiny without intervening.  The key to this statement is non-intervention.  Heaven and earth do not interfere with all things and allow them to fend for themselves.  What seems indifferent is actually the best attitude.  For example, when a compassionate person sees a wolf chasing a rabbit, he drives the wolf away. In this way, the rabbit is saved, but the wolf starves.

    But some people say that wolves are bad and deserve to die, and chasing away wolves is a good deed. But thinking about it on the other hand, don¡¯t people have to eat rabbits in the end?  Both humans and wolves eat rabbits, so why do we say wolves are bad?

    In reverse thinking, whether it is a wolf or a human, or in the end, a rabbit, all are for survival. A wolf will die without food, and a human will die without food. In the face of survival, there is no good or bad, only instinctive drive. Sometimes people's  Instinct may even be worse than that of a wolf!  !  !

    To give an example, there were wolves in a certain sheep grazing land, and the sheep were often eaten by the wolves, so people killed the wolves. As a result, the sheep degenerated because there was no oppression from natural enemies.  People had to reintroduce wolves.  If we let nature take its course without intervention, a balance will be formed among all things. If we interfere arbitrarily and destroy one of the links, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction with disastrous consequences.  So the best thing to do is not to interfere.  Similarly, the saint allows the people to control their own destiny without interference. It seems irresponsible, but in fact it is the best kind of responsibility.

    As Qin Hao said, everything has its own way, but the way is different.

    Anyone who is self-righteous and interferes with society, no matter how compassionate he is, will end up doing bad things with good intentions, because no matter how good your moral and ethical ideas are, it is impossible to be masked. When you take care of some people, you will definitely hurt  For other people, it doesn't matter if this kind of thought only exists among the people. But once the ruler raises it to the level of a state religion and regulates the people's behavior, and then suppresses other thoughts, its destructiveness will appear.  .

    This is how the history of the human race came about.  For example, Confucianism promotes benevolent government. It has its own set of perfect theories and principles of life. It seems to be high-sounding, but how many people have been poisoned by it in more than two thousand years?  How many injustices have been caused under the oppression of powerful people?  For example, Confucianism advocates loyalty to the emperor, so wouldn¡¯t rebellious people like Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang have died long ago?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
