Confucius returned to Lu Laigong: Forgetting his wife is not an exaggeration, and some people even forget themselves

Ji Kangzi suffered from the theft case and taught Confucius. Not wanting Confucius to show no mercy at all, the spearhead pointed directly at Ji Kangzi: "The Gou Zi does not want to, although the reward is not stolen." "If your excellency's desire is a little less, even if the reward asks the people to steal, I am afraid that no one will be moved, right?"

Human nature has always been like this, "There will be good at the top, and there will be many things below." "Once sitting in a big position, personal likes and dislikes move to see and see, and the impact is so great that it often exceeds imagination. "Han Feizi" simply cites historical examples as evidence: "Therefore, the king of Yue is brave, and the people are more lightly dead; the king of Chu Ling is good at waist, but there are many hungry people in the country; the Duke of Qi Huan is jealous and good, so he erects himself from the palace to rule the inside; Huan Gong is good at taste, and yi teeth steam his son's head and enter it." ＂

The Yue King's practice was a shame to restore the country and publicize the value of martial courage, so the people had the courage to desperately die. King Chu Ling preferred a thin waist, and "Chu waist slender palm light" became the common aesthetic pursuit of the ministers of the DPRK and China. Duke Huan of Qi loved both women and feared chaos in the harem, so he castrated himself into the harem of Huan Gong, who loved delicious food, and Yi Ya killed his son to make a plate of cakes.

With great power in hand, there are always traitors who do not hesitate to destroy humanity to pander. When the power is in hand, the original face of the vicious is revealed, and no matter how much the monarch who has given up power is remorseful, it will not help. After Guan Zhong's death, Qi Huan trusted several traitors who rebelled against human nature, and finally died alone next to Daquan.

When Guan Zhongjian was alive, he had successfully reversed the crooked wind in the dprk.

Duke Huan of Qi complained privately to Guan Zhong, the state of Qi had limited resources, the ministers had such extravagance of food, clothing, cars, and horses, that the widows really couldn't look at it, if it was explicitly prohibited, would it work?

Guan Zhong then said that whatever Junshang liked to eat, the courtiers would also follow suit; it was only natural that Junshang's clothing would cause his subordinates to imitate him. But looking at the food and clothing of the king, he knows why the clothes and food of his subjects are so and so. If Junshang does not want his subordinates to become extravagant, the best countermeasure is to start from himself.

Qi Huangong nodded and said yes. Daily wear has since changed, and after a year, the atmosphere of the Qi country has changed, and it has changed to advocating frugality.

Righteousness is therefore human being. Changing the style of the dynasty and correcting the folk customs, those in the upper position do not necessarily need to raise their arms and shout, but only need to practice silently, and they will certainly have merit over time.

The key is only in self-righteousness.

Lu Aigong and Confucius, who were diligent in inviting Yifuzi, had a question and answer, which actually began with a gossip.

Lu Aigong asked: The widow has heard that some people are so forgetful that they forget that they have a wife as soon as they go out. Confucius replied that this is not excessive, there are more powerful, not only the wife forgot, but even forgot herself.

Even forgot about yourself? How could there be such a thing? This can arouse the curiosity of Lu Aigong, and he chased After Confucius and asked carefully.

Confucius said: The annals of history are recorded, on the rich and expensive, Xia Jie is at the top, you are the son of heaven, rich in the world, the result? Leaving the ancestral family law behind, he was busy drinking and having fun all day, treacherous villains in the dprk, completely destroyed the yellow bell, thundered in the tile kettle, and finally died in the country. This is a complete forgetting who I am.

Confucius's daily teaching, in fact, rarely mentions negative examples, and most of them use positive characters as models for students, similar to contemporary positive psychology. The Master taught his disciples to open a pair of clear eyes, and these eyes looked at people, and all they saw was the positive and bright side; instead, they had to look at themselves, and they had to look at the negative dark side.

The same pair of eyes, looking at people to see themselves is two kinds of feelings. But looking at it this way, it must be oneself who has achieved it.

Needless to say, the Great Sage of Confucius completely internalized the Master's teachings. Once, I listened to the visiting uncle Sun Wu gushing about the people of the time, focusing on the faults of others. Yan Hui listened quietly for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back, interrupting Uncle Wu's words:

Your Excellency's special visit, presumably with the intention of learning some of the Master's teachings from Yan Hui here, right? The Master said very clearly that discussing the rights and wrongs of others will never play a role in elevating oneself; simply saying that others are not cannot correct oneself. If you really want to become a virtuous gentleman, all you should do is to seriously treat your own mistakes, instead of taking a knife and axe and slashing other people's wounds!

"Attack its evil, but do not attack the evil of man." "Willing to face their own mistakes, after correcting themselves, they naturally have the ability to transform people, far better than grasping the mistakes of others, not only can not cure others, but also hurt themselves."
