Some masters of traditional Chinese studies have commented on Zhuangzi: a hermit who seems to be dashing and free, but also proficient in human psychology.
In Zhuangzi's philosophy, we can read Zhuangzi's dashing freedom and feel that Zhuangzi is beyond ordinary people. However, we forget that reading human nature is the core of everything.
From a sociological point of view, this society is a society composed of "people", and all ideas and concepts and problem contradictions are related to "people".
You are not happy today, you are definitely in a bad situation. And the source of things is people. You're not working well, and it's definitely because you're being held back by others.
No wonder Zhuangzi sighed: "Mortal people are dangerous in the mountains and rivers, and it is difficult to know the sky." ”
Shu Dao is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky. But this man's heart is even more dangerous than the lofty mountains and mountains, and more dangerous than the Shu Dao. To know the truth of the human heart is ultimately more difficult than ascending to heaven.
When we have experienced it, we will understand that the so-called human heart is not "evil" or "good", but a "gray" that makes us unable to see through the truth of reality.
In life, some people come to you to "harm" you.

People of different levels will make you feel particularly uncomfortable.
Someone once said that they often compete with their peers, not with fools.
We have to deal with people of the same level, not too much with people who are "different levels." Just think, you have a good sense of mind, but he is a layman, isn't that playing the piano to the cow?
I have seen such a middle-aged man, who especially likes to argue with others when he is young. In the end, his own mentality became impatient, and even his thinking became narrow.
What is this called? It is zhuangzi's words: "The well frog cannot speak of the sea, and the summer worm cannot speak of ice." ”
Is it useful that you tell the frog at the bottom of the well about the vastness of the "sea"? The frog at the bottom of the well has no idea what you're talking about. So don't talk to the frog at the bottom of the well about your "ambitions."
Is it appropriate for you to talk about poetry and distant places with short-lived bugs? Bugs can't even be seen in winter, so how can they understand the true meaning of poetry and far away?
Don't interact with different levels, they will only make your thinking "cheap", and even affect your subsequent behavior habits.
03
People who complain all day will affect your life.
In the circle of friends, you can often see such people, who are either satirizing the boss's bad today, or resenting the hypocrisy of colleagues tomorrow, and finally complaining about the whole world.
Looking at his circle of friends, we only feel particularly "gloomy", and even our own mood is affected. This, like a sunny day meets a rainy day, suddenly becomes cloudy.
Life, how can it be so complicated? Confused, positive, isn't it? How many people in this society can live absolutely happy? Therefore, maintaining a good attitude is the last word.
Zhuangzi once said: "Sorrow is greater than death of the heart, and death of man is secondary." ”
When you meet someone whose heart is dead as ashes, then you become "dead as ashes." When you meet someone who is optimistic, you will also become optimistic.
The so-called "near Zhu is red, close to ink is black" is this truth.
Don't associate with people who complain all day, don't spend time with people who are full of darkness. This can make you feel the sunshine and beauty of life.

Greedy people will harm you.
Zhuangzi said: "Those who have deep lusts are shallow in their chances." ”
A man who is obsessed with "greedy desires" has no rationality or intelligence at all. Because desire blinded his eyes, greed twisted his heart.
In ancient times, there were a pair of brothers, the eldest brother was particularly honest, and the second brother was particularly greedy and selfish. However, for the sake of family affection, the eldest brother still tolerates the second brother.
However, the second brother did not think so. He believes that the big brother is richer than him, and he should aim at the big brother. In the end, he cheated the big brother's house, leaving the big brother's family of four homeless.
For the sake of "greedy" desires, the younger brother does not even care about his brother's life and death, let alone an outsider? Perhaps, outsiders will be even more terrible.
When a person's greed is to the extreme, then he will lose the most basic rationality of being a man, but become "wolf-tiger human". You know, when human nature is bad, it is even more terrible than the temperament of beasts.
05
People who are full of benevolence and morality have come to "restrain" you.
Zhuangzi once said, "The Tao cannot be caused, and virtue cannot be attained." Benevolence can also be true, righteousness can be lost, and courtesy is also false. ”
In Zhuangzi's view, the Tao cannot be attained, virtue cannot be attained, benevolence can be done, righteousness can be abandoned, and rituals are used to deceive each other.
In our current words, human beings in the secular world cannot attain the state of "benevolent morality." The so-called "benevolent morality" is nothing more than a lie of people with ulterior motives.
If your colleague talks to you about benevolence and morality, it will show that this is a person who is "hypocritical to the extreme.". The morality of benevolence and morality in their mouths is only a cover for deceiving you.
Those bright and beautiful people talk to you about benevolence and morality, and the purpose of others is actually very simple, just to cover up his ugly heart and win you over. You know, "benevolence and morality on the surface, male thieves and female prostitutes behind the scenes" is the norm.
Don't get too close to people who are full of benevolence and morality, these people have no real feelings at all, and the city government is too deep enough to take you into the vortex of right and wrong.
