In the past year or so, Lin Yu has uncovered far too much.
I've also met far too many people who claim to be balanced.
Everyone else smokes Huazi cigarettes and drinks Maotai when they go out, and they drive A6 cars. I've been doing this for years, and I'm not even as good as the people below me.
It's inevitable to feel unbalanced.
Humans are ultimately a collection of desires, and the desire to compare oneself with others is the original sin.
There are only two kinds of people in this world: those who cultivate themselves and those who don't.
Spiritual practice is about going against desires.
Those who do not cultivate themselves are simply following their desires.
Some people come and go, going back and forth, but in the end they will still slide into the mud.
This is the way of Heaven. There is no middle ground.
Just like domestic violence, there are only zeros and countless times.
"Those who can wear official hats and peacock feathers in this life are all stars descended to earth, accumulated blessings from their past lives. But if one's virtue does not match one's position, even a star will eventually fall down!"
"You should be glad you met me before you slid into the mud, so I won't kill you!"
"But your inaction is also a real fact, so you can't keep your job!"
"I'll punish you with five years of service and ban your family from public service for three generations. This is my final mercy. Get out!"

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"
Liu Tianming was in tears.

After Liu Tianming left, Zhu Yeqing shook his head and sighed, "There are too many people like this in officialdom. Just as you said, Brother Lin, there is no such thing as a middle ground. Therefore, many people eventually slide into the mud!"
"Even worse, some people have impure motives from the start. They don't study how to do good deeds, but how to be a good official!"
"Human relationships and worldly wisdom are the biggest dross in the five thousand years of the Great Xia Dynasty! It's not a problem that only appeared in one day!" Lin Yu concluded.
Zhu Yeqing nodded. "Then how should we change it?"
"Change?" Lin Yu smiled and shook his head. "When the young people of Great Xia no longer think that working within the system is the best place, when people from all walks of life no longer discriminate against each other and can all receive roughly the same salary, when farmers can also stand tall, then let's talk about change!"
