Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 312 Don't think too much

Seeing his younger brother's troubled look, Wang Qingxiu knew that he was out alone at a young age, and there was no one around him to talk to.Looking at Wang Xiaolie's rapid development in the past two years, the foundation is not stable even if it is fast.Complacent or worried, everyone has their own thoughts.

After pouring tea for Wang Xiaolie, Wang Qingxiu said: "I am the only relative you have in this world. If you have any troubles, you may as well tell me. I am a woman, so I can't relieve your worries. Listen to me is possible to."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Before I arrived in Xiangyang, I felt that there was nothing in this world that I didn't know. The things in the world are actually very simple. Everyone said that the Jin army is powerful, but I felt that as long as I have tens of thousands of soldiers, one How difficult is it to defeat the Jin army? After arriving in Xiangyang, the number of soldiers and horses expanded to 5 in just over a year. With the territory of Bazhou, I have money again this year, but I feel that I was wrong before. Many things, obviously I know what to do, but I just can’t do it. In the past, as long as I charged forward in an army of hundreds of people, everyone must do their best. Everyone’s thoughts can be understood at a glance. Now there are 5 people. I know how to run an army, but I find that no one thinks the same as me. I appointed subordinate officials to manage it. They either have different thoughts or are not capable of doing it. I wake up every day, full of worries.”

Wang Qingxiu heard this, and said with a smile: "So that's the case. Dalang, I think it's because you raise your head too high. When you raise your head high, you always see far, far away places, and you often forget the path under your feet. You might as well lower your head, don’t think so much, and walk steadily. Look at what’s going on now, and try your best to do it. While doing it, think about it occasionally, maybe you won’t have so many worries.”

"Walk with your head down?" Wang Xiaolie pondered after hearing this.Think about it carefully, maybe my sister's simple words are right.I always compare this world with the memories of my previous life, and I am not satisfied with this, and there are flaws in that, and I am about to get sick.

Wang Qingxiu said: "That's right. Although I don't know what you are worried about, I do know that sometimes you should let it go. Take a step back, the sea and the sky will open up. Maybe this is the reason."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Maybe so."

Wang Xiaolie knew that he couldn't take a step back from what he was facing now.The more difficult it is, the more courageous and diligent you must be, and you must not slack off.The only thing that can let go is the state of mind.

After taking a sip of tea, Wang Xiaolie looked at the moon in the sky and said softly: "Sister, do you think that things in this world are really strange. One thing, you have figured it out at this time, after a few days, You will find out that you were wrong in thinking before. One thing can be handled in this way at home, but not outside. There are many things that can be done in the past, but in fact it can’t be done later—”

Wang Qingxiu laughed and said: "Although you don't understand what you said, I do know what it means. I can tell you about this matter. A few days ago, an old nun came to the nearby nunnery, who was very enlightened. I invited him to my home and listened to him talk about the Dharma for a few days. I remember a sentence called "All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed in this way." This is about things in the world, do you think I understand, in fact, what you know is like a dream, and it is actually wrong."

Wang Xiaolie laughed loudly: "Sister, this is the words in the "Diamond Sutra", which is not interpreted in this way. Buddhism talks about dependent origination and emptiness. This sentence means that all worldly laws arise from causes and conditions, like dreams and bubbles, changeable , elusive."

Wang Qingxiu was not annoyed, but said: "I don't believe in Buddhism, so I just listened to his words, can't I explain it myself? Let me explain it, and I feel that it is a method of doing things in the world, but it is actually unreliable. Your method of doing things, It started because of one incident at a time, and the situation has changed over time, so it is naturally different."

Wang Xiaolie's heart moved, and he suddenly realized something.

I have always believed that the world is constantly changing, not only in nature, but also in human society.The principles of nature, such as physics, chemistry, etc., are human beings' understanding of nature.Man is not a god, and his understanding of the natural world is of course incomplete and limited.With the deepening of understanding, will continue to improve.For example, Newtonian mechanics opened up an era of science, but then there was the theory of relativity, and after the theory of relativity came the quantum theory.Even with the theory of relativity and quantum theory, there are still many unexplainable phenomena in nature.With the deepening of human understanding, these theories are constantly improving, and they are constantly fitting the reality of nature.

This is true in nature, but what about human society?Of course, human society also has laws to follow.But no matter what the theory is, what laws are studied, it is impossible to truly summarize the reality of human society, and it can only be an approximation at best.Looking at human society with approximate theories, with the development of society, one either feels that the society does not conform to the theory, that some people are always doing damage, or that the theory is always wrong.

In previous lives, people always liked to talk about the 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, can human beings recognize and grasp it?

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

When talking about truth, people always assume an omniscient and omnipotent existence.In other words, a hypothetical god exists.Human beings cannot understand it because human beings are not developed enough.With God, it must exist.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaolie couldn't help laughing.Regardless of whether it exists or not, if humans assume that God exists, isn’t it that they think that they are God before the truth?Are humans gods?Humans are not gods after all.

This question is extremely simple, but it is not easy to understand.It's not that anyone's wisdom is unexpected, but that human society naturally thinks that it can't 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 achievements have been made, they are different from what I thought.Furthermore, it is believed that if this development continues, many problems will arise.In the face of these, I actually have nothing to do.People often say that the dragon slayer turns into a dragon, which probably means this.

What's the use of thinking like this?For a long time, Wang Xiaolie has been living in a fantasy.I always feel that what I do, according to the theory in my memory, will lead to what results and what contradictions will arise.

What conflicts arise?If you want to find it, the world is full of contradictions.Even teachers believe that contradictions are the driving force of social development.Why bother?Knowing what you want, studying carefully, and practicing boldly are the only ways to prevent society from taking detours.

The laws, contradictions, driving forces, and even ideals and directions of human society are actually summed up by human beings themselves.These nouns are imagined by humans to approximate reality.When always remembering, approximation is never reality.Social laws can never truly describe human society, nor can they guide the direction.The role of social laws should be to let people know how to practice in reality.

After thinking about this, Wang Xiaolie let out a sigh of relief as if he had unloaded a heavy burden.

Standing up, Wang Xiaolie said to Wang Qingxiu: "Although my sister doesn't talk much, she is just right about my illness. Recently, I have often been troubled and said a lot to others. In fact, it is my heart. Now I finally understand why I need to say such things. How much? Just do it!"
