Poor, not tired. Scholars can't be moral, and they are tired; Bad clothes and shoes, poor, not tired; This so-called is not timely.
People, how to recognize themselves, here through the story of Zhuangzi, you might as well learn from the transcendent sages;
On weekdays, due to the compulsion of life, Zhuangzi not only wears cloth clothes, but also has a lot of nails on his clothes;
Once, after seeing the King of Wei, he first carefully straightened his clothes, and then bent down to tie his shoelaces before greeting the King of Wei as a sign of politeness;
I didn't think about it, but King Wei opened his mouth and said, "Why is Sir so difficult? "The intuition is to look down on ordinary people, and if you are looked down upon by the king, you will not feel anything;
Anyway, there is no comparison between people, it is really comparable, many people will think in their hearts that they must be so much worse than those of high-ranking officials!
But Zhuangzi was not an ordinary person, and he immediately corrected: "It is poverty, not poverty." "What is wrong with temporary poverty;
Hardship is different, and it is a typical self-degradation of a scholar who has morality but does not implement it.
Isn't it? People, clothes are broken, shoes are torn, so what? But it is the fault of the king that it is the cause of poverty, and it can even be attributed to the inopportune time;
Zhuangzi asked the King of Wei to see the apes jumping in the forest, they could live freely in the woods where tall trees such as Nan, Zi, Yu, and Zhang gathered, and they could jump by grabbing vine-like branches;
Even the archers Yi and Fengmeng will not underestimate them, once they come to the thorny bushes such as Zhe, thorn, citrus aurantium, and wolf, they can only be cautious, looking left and right, and even frightened, why is this;
Obviously, it is the little monkey that cannot get out of the situation of life, not because it is not flexible enough.
Time is also fate, the general environment is like this, and the power of the individual, in the face of the general environment, will always seem too thin;
However, in any case, Zhuangzi never obeyed the arrangement of fate, and always kept a free heart to make himself happy;
It seems that although people can't control the world, they can control their own state of mind, so as to live the life they want!
