Chapter 8 "Miscellaneous Copy of Literature and History" - (51-60)

(fifty one) Human affection starts to be diligent and then lazy, easy to send out but hard to take back, this is also weak will and no will; perseverance, can let go and take back, also has a strong will.Forging one strong will to rule countless weak wills is at the heart of Middle-earth philosophy and the foundation of politics.And Lao Tzu confronts a strong will with no will, and his philosophy is a philosophy of rogues, a philosophy of tearing down filth.Lao Tzu won by relying on sass and broom tactics. However, scholars can only learn it as a temporary method, and cannot become the basis of all wars.Although this kind of philosophy can be effective for a while, it will eventually lose to those who are tough.

(fifty two) Every individual has a unique thought system, which handles problems and develops insights in its own way.Originality is the first condition for spiritual work.Alongside talent and intelligence, originality is a quality that is especially prized. Thoroughness, like originality and sharpness, always make ideas attractive.Always against verbosity, mediocrity, dullness, tastelessness and emptiness.Oppose the vagueness and ambiguity of thought. Attractiveness, touches the heartstrings, stimulates and excites the senses without tiring.It must be written with passion and colorful language, and even if it is purely academic, it must be read with pure pleasure.

The spirit of the times is not only the color of the times, but also contains the beauty and interest of the times. Freshness is an important one among many feelings that cater to people's psychology and taste.Others like Habit, Common Sense, Variety, Against Monotony, Repetition, Boredom, etc. (fifty three) Stones from other hills, can learn.Only by fighting against the bad guys can one develop oneself. (fifty-four) Emerson once said: "Sliding on thin ice, speed is safety." This is a good comparison with the ancient Chinese lesson "like stepping on the tail of a tiger, wading in spring water".

(Fifty-five) I used to wonder why all the nurses in church hospitals had to believe in Christianity. Now I know that it is not because of those boring and eccentric priests who love boys and girls and try to save them and go to heaven, but they can be punished in the name of God. and decoy.Knowing this, the relationship between politics and religion will be revealed. (fifty six) For ignorant creatures, God's love and punishment are warmer, more unquestionable, and more powerful than human love and punishment. (fifty seven) In an upside-down world and chaotic era, it is a natural phenomenon that the morality of people's speech and behavior violates human nature.They are victims, moral losers.They did the stupidest things, like being trapped in a nightmare, terrified and tired, their eyes lost their eyesight, and their hearts were very conflicted and disturbed.Their irresponsibility and dishonesty are often contrary to nature.

(fifty-eight) The villain is afraid of punishment, the gentleman is afraid of heaven, fear and awe are the basis of Chinese moral practice. (fifty-nine) Cautious, out of fear.Spinoza said: "He who is governed by fear to do good and avoid evil..." The other end of fear is recklessness.A desperation, but also due to a lack of inner independence.The Chinese do good deeds also out of fear, fear of the disappearance of external existence (the body) and the loss of worldly purpose, rather than out of honor, responsibility, honesty and conscience.The benevolence and good deeds of the Chinese people are actually a combination of crude materialism and absurd mysticism.

(sixty) The ancient Chinese culture, no matter how wise and superb it is, in the final analysis, has no mood to reflect through the individual (that is, the freedom of thinking), so it is strange, rigid, and dead to people.
