Seeing his brother's troubled look, Wang Qingxiu knew that he was young and alone, with no one around him to talk to. Watching Wang Xiaolie's rapid development in the past two years, but the foundation is not stable even though it is fast. Is he complacent or worried?

, everyone has their own thoughts.

After pouring tea for Wang Xiaolie, Wang Qingxiu said: "I am the only close relative you have in this world. If you have any troubles, you might as well tell me. I am a woman, and I cannot relieve your worries. Please listen to me.

Yes."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Before I came to Xiangyang, I felt that there was nothing in the world that I didn't know. Things in the world are actually very simple. Everyone says that the Jin army is powerful, but I feel that as long as I have tens of thousands of soldiers, I can defeat them all together."

Territory, how difficult is it to defeat the Jin army? After arriving in Xiangyang, the number of soldiers and horses increased to 50,000 in more than a year. With the territory of eight states, I became rich again this year, but I felt that I had been wrong before. Many things were obviously

I know what I should do, but I just can’t do it. In the past, as long as I charged forward with an army of several hundred people, everyone would do their best. You can understand what everyone is thinking at a glance. Now with 50,000 people, I

He knew how to run the army, but found that no one had the same idea as him. He appointed subordinate officials to manage it, but they either had different ideas or were unable to do it. When he woke up every day, he was full of worries."

Wang Qingxiu listened and said with a smile: "So that's it. Dalang, I think it's because you raise your head too high. When you raise your head high, you always see far away places and often forget the path under your feet.

You might as well lower your head, stop thinking so much, and walk in a down-to-earth manner. Look at what you have to do now, and try your best to do it. While you are doing it, think about it occasionally, and maybe you won't have so many worries."

"Walk with your head down?" After hearing this, Wang Xiaolie pondered. Thinking about it carefully, maybe my sister's simple words are right. I always compare this world with the memory of my previous life. I am not satisfied with this, and it also has flaws.

He's about to get sick.

Wang Qingxiu said: "Yes. Although I don't know what worries you, I know that sometimes you should let go. Take a step back and the sky will be brighter. Maybe this is the truth."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Maybe so."

Wang Xiaolie knows that he cannot take a step back from the things he is facing now. The more difficult it is, the more courageous and diligent he must be to make progress without slacking off. Perhaps the only thing that can let go is his state of mind.

After taking a sip of tea, Wang Xiaolie looked at the moon in the sky and said softly: "Sister, have you ever felt that things in this world are really strange. You have figured out one thing now. After some time, you will understand it.

You will also find that you were wrong about what you thought before. You can do this at home, but not outside. There are also many things that you could do in the past, but later you can no longer do it - "

Wang Qingxiu laughed and said: "Although you don't understand what you said, I know what it means. But I can tell you about this matter. A few days ago, an old nun came to the nunnery nearby, and he was very knowledgeable.

I invited him to his home and listened to him teach Dharma for several days. There is a sentence I remember, which is: 'All conditioned Dharmas are like bubbles in a dream, like dew or lightning, and should be viewed as such.' This is about things in the world. What do you think?

You understand, in fact, what you know is like a dream, but it is actually wrong."

Wang Xiaolie laughed loudly: "Sister, this is a saying in the Diamond Sutra, and it is not explained in this way. Buddhism talks about dependent origination and emptiness. This sentence means that all the laws of the world that arise from causes and conditions are like dreams and bubbles, ever-changing.

, elusive.”

Wang Qingxiu was not annoyed, and just said: "I don't believe in Buddhism. I just listen to his words and can't I understand it myself? Let me explain it, and I feel that all the conditioned dharma in the world is actually unreliable. This conditioned dharma of yours,

It arises due to one thing at a time, and it will naturally be different as time passes."

Wang Xiaolie's heart moved, and he suddenly had some enlightenment.

I have always believed that the world is constantly changing, not only nature, but also human society. The principles of nature, such as physics, chemistry, etc., are human beings' understanding of nature. Humans are not gods, and their understanding of nature is of course incomplete.

It has limitations. As the understanding deepens, it will be continuously improved. For example, Newtonian mechanics opened a scientific era, but later came the theory of relativity, and after the theory of relativity came the quantum theory. Even with the theory of relativity and quantum theory, the natural world

There are still many unexplainable phenomena in the world. With the deepening of human understanding, these theories are constantly improving and are constantly fitting the reality of nature.

Nature is like this, but what about human society? Of course human society also has laws to follow. But no matter what theory it is or what laws are studied, it cannot truly summarize the reality of human society. It can only be an approximation at best. Use

Approximate theories look at human society. With the development of society, we either feel that society does not conform to the theory and some people are always doing damage, or we feel that the theory is often wrong.

In previous lives, people always liked to talk about truth. The laws of nature have been applicable since the beginning of the universe. From the beginning of human beings, the social laws of human society can be summarized. Does truth exist? In other words, if truth exists, humans can understand it.

and mastery?

Wang Xiaolie frowned, thought for a long time, and finally shook his head.

When talking about the truth, people always assume an omniscient and omnipotent existence. In other words, they assume that God exists. Human beings cannot recognize it because human beings have not developed enough. God must exist.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaolie couldn't help but laugh. Regardless of existence or not, if humans assume that gods exist, don't they think that they are gods in the face of the truth? Are humans gods? Human beings are not gods after all.

This question is extremely simple, but it is not easy to figure it out. It’s not that anyone’s wisdom can’t think of it, but that human society naturally believes that it is impossible to think like this.

Wang Xiaolie’s trouble is that he feels that he has done a lot and achieved a lot. But looking at the real society, although he has achieved results, they are different from what he thought. He further believes that if this development continues, many things will happen.

Problems. Faced with these, there is actually nothing I can do. People often say that the dragon slayer turns into an evil dragon, which is roughly what it means.

What's the use of thinking like this? Wang Xiaolie has been living in a fantasy all this time. He always feels that what he does, based on the theory in his memory, what results will be obtained and what contradictions will arise.

What kind of contradictions arise? If you want to find out, the world is full of contradictions. Even teachers believe that contradictions are the driving force for social development. Why should we care about these? Knowing what you want, studying it carefully, and practicing boldly will prevent society from taking detours.

method.

The laws, contradictions, dynamics, and even ideals and directions of human society are actually summarized by humans themselves. These terms are imagined by humans to approximate reality. Always remember that approximation is never reality.

.Social laws can never truly describe human society, nor can they guide the direction. The role of social laws is to let people know how to practice in reality.

After understanding this, Wang Xiaolie breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted off him.

Standing up, Wang Xiaolie said to Wang Qingxiu: "Although my sister doesn't say much, she is right about my illness. I have been troubled recently and said many things to people, but it is actually my heart. Now I finally understand why I need to say so.
