No more human desires?
This one sentence made everyone fall into deep thought.
Chen Yu looked at everyone and smiled, "Without human desires, would the world become a better place?"
"Desire can be good or bad. But it cannot be denied that all progress is inseparable from desire."
“Because I want to live a better life, I work hard.”
"Farmers grow crops to fill their stomachs."
"In order to become stronger, the country must promote development."
“Even the immortals, although they consider themselves to be immortal cultivators, why do they cultivate immortality?”
"Are these human desires? What would the world be like without these desires?"
Everyone was silent after hearing this.
High in the sky, the few people who had been furious before could not help but fall into deep thought.
These are naturally human desires.
Without these desires...
Thinking of this, everyone frowned.
Yes, without these desires, and no one to cultivate the land, will anyone still have enough food and clothing?
If the country does not develop, does Daqin still have a future?
Taking all aspects into consideration, they suddenly realized that if human desires were really eliminated, it would not be a good thing.
"What is Heaven's Law? Heaven's Law is Human Law."
Chen Yu continued, "Why do saints teach the world? So that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone can be like a dragon."
"In this process, we must abandon bad desires and harness good desires to drive the pursuit of a better life."
"Instead of completely eliminating all desires, this approach shows a fear of desire and a fear of coexisting with it."
"Saints are not only saints, they are also human beings! They still eat, sleep, get married and have children. Have they ever eliminated human desires?"
“What they do is not to abandon desire, but to understand desire and not be controlled by it.”
boom!
Everyone was shocked.
Don't be afraid of desire, but control it!
Know your desires but don’t be controlled by them!
For a moment, everyone's eyes widened and their heads were buzzing.
What a penetrating statement this is!
High in the sky, a person fell silent.
His name was Zhu Ji, and this sentence was left behind by him.
He has always been proud of this, believing that what he said was the correct path to the highest realm of Confucianism, and he argued with others endlessly.
But now, he was completely shaken.
Yes, when I put forward this sentence in the past, didn’t I think that all desires are bad?
But can humans really live without desire?
When I said this, wasn't the root cause because I regarded human desires as poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts?
Zhu Ji shook his head, feeling a little lonely.
"Hey, this guy is right. He pointed out the cowardice in my deepest heart."
"No wonder my former teacher always told me that I had to face my fears in order to achieve great things."
"I thought the fear you were referring to was the fear of not being able to eliminate desire. So that's what happened."
Everyone was silent and looked at Zhu Ji quietly.
At the same time, they were also looking forward to Chen Yu's comments on the other stone tablets.
In the square, Shen Chen and others looked at Chen Yu thoughtfully and with some admiration.
"Master Chen, what about the other stone tablets? What they say makes a lot of sense."
But Chen Yu shook his head again.
“It seems to make sense, but it’s all rather one-sided.”
"Learn first, think first, and even without doing anything, you can still achieve something. Do you think that's right? Learning first and thinking first are right, but if you don't do anything, what can you achieve?"
“Nothing in the world is thought out; everything is done.”
"Hard work makes a nation prosperous, empty talk ruins it. Do we think that if we just think about it, the Immortal Sect will be destroyed? Will the Great Qin be fine? Isn't this nonsense?"
Chen Yu curled his lips.
Everyone was stunned.
Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true.
It seems to be true that hard work will make a country prosperous, while empty talk will ruin it!
High in the sky, a fat old man, holding his stomach and laughing, patted a thin man beside him.
"Hahaha, what this guy said is really interesting. Old Liu, you've been arguing with me for so long, what else do you have to say now?"
When the thin man heard this, his face turned red.
He is Liu Xun, also a semi-saint, and it was he who proposed this sentence.
"Huh, he, how could he understand the subtlety of my words?"
Although he said so, he still lacked confidence.
Especially the saying that hard work will make a country prosperous, while empty talk will ruin it, had a huge impact on him!
"Master Chen, it's always right to think more about it, right?" Wen Bubai frowned and spoke, still a little unconvinced.
Chen Yu said: "It's right to think about it more, but I ask you, what is the purpose of thinking about it?"
"Yes! I've put a lot of thought into it, all to guide specific actions."
"It's good for farmers to think about how to grow food, but if they don't actually get to work in the fields, how can they grow anything?"
"In life and work, one should not be a giant in thought but a dwarf in action. That is utopianism."
"Whoever said this, if I meet this person, I will definitely give him a good beating."
Chen Yu looked at the stone tablet and curled his lips with disdain.
After hearing this, Wen Bubai was completely convinced.
High in the sky, everyone fell silent again.
Chen Yu’s words had a huge impact on them!
A giant in thought, a dwarf in action.
Empty talk.
How on earth did this kid come up with such brilliant words?
Liu Xun had a complicated expression. After a long silence, he sighed heavily and smiled bitterly.
"So, I took the wrong path, too. Really, empty dreams and empty talk, what can they achieve in the end? I'm not like that."
