Chapter 959

"Ah? Isn't it good not to be confused by the outside world? " Arthur looked puzzled.

Su Ye smiled and said, "I ask you, a British primitive God, in the face of a powerful magician entering, do you think it's better for him to be confused or confused?"

Arthur suddenly realized and said, "I see! The herb God is not confused. He feels that he is right with everything in the past. Therefore, he can kill the magician as an ordinary Englishman. Therefore, even if he meets you, he will also treat you as a stronger magician. However, the holy lake goddess was confused. She didn't know what the divination crystal ball meant, so she was constantly testing you and finally convinced you. As a result, those who are not confused die and those who are confused hold the whip. "

"And you?"

"I'm still confused."

"Well, if you think about it now, are you not confused or confused?"

Arthur suddenly burst into a cold sweat and said, "thank you for your teaching. Of course, it's good to be confused, and you should always be confused. Otherwise, I don't know what stupid things I will do. "

Su ye said with a smile: "so, 40 years old means that he follows the social rules at the age of 30 and" stands "in the eyes of others, but then he will be stereotyped by the whole society and think that all people, all things and all laws should operate in the form of the past. Everything about him has been solidified. In case of any external stimulation, he either thinks he is complacent, or he is too lazy to be confused and give up exploring. In a long and unchanging society, this is not a problem, but in an era of upheaval, confusion is very fatal. "

"Just like the herbal God and the black wizard, they felt they had done nothing wrong, but in the twinkling of an eye, they had nothing." Arthur nodded hard.

"Knowing the destiny of heaven at fifty" literally means knowing the law of heaven and earth at fifty. That sounds great, too, doesn't it? "

"Yes, isn't it good to know the changes of heaven and earth?"

"If you regard knowing destiny as a good thing, then you look down on the great wisdom Kong."

"First of all, we should know what destiny is. There are actually two explanations for destiny. One is the will of heaven and earth. In other words, it is all the laws of heaven and earth and all the fates of all things. Do you think a great wisdom who says there is no end to learning will think that he will fully understand destiny at the age of 50? "

"I don't think so." Arthur thought.

"Well, knowing your destiny can only mean the second thing. Knowing your destiny, in other words, is knowing your life limit and ability limit."

"This statement is more reasonable." Arthur said.

"He was saying that at the age of 50, he thought he knew his limits and knew that destiny could not be violated. So when he was in his fifties, he gave up his original insistence, gave up his official position in the state of Lu, and gave up changing the state of Lu. "

"Therefore, knowing destiny actually means that our arrogance and pride go further than ignorance, we are more self righteous, and we will eventually limit ourselves under the pretext of fate and destiny. But think about it, do we really know destiny? If we know our destiny, what else can't we do? Therefore, like buhun, Kong's so-called knowing destiny is introspection and self-criticism. "

"I see." Arthur sighed.

"However, great wisdom is great wisdom after all. Even though Kong restricted himself and gave up the past, he still didn't stop learning. Later, he learned the treasure book called "Yi", realized the truth of "change", left the state of Lu, traveled around the world and began a great turning point in life. "

"Confucius before the age of 60 is only a successful official and thinker. Confucius after the age of 60 gradually becomes a great wisdom."

"Sixty ear Shun" is the turning point of the great wisdom. Ear Shun also has two explanations. The first one means that you can calmly accept anyone's words. Anyone's words will not stimulate your negative emotions and look down on everything. However, do you think it's a little too low to measure a 60 year old man of great wisdom? "

Arthur nodded.

"Therefore, ear Shun should take the second meaning, that is, when you encounter anything, you will quickly see the essence. If others are wrong, you will see the essence of others' mistakes. If you don't care about the appearance, you naturally don't care about other people's bad words; If others are right, they will see the correct essence. Even if others accuse themselves, they can readily accept it as long as it is right. "

"Well, when it comes to seventy, do what you want and don't exceed the rules. This is literally easy to understand, that is, at the age of 70, he is free to do things, do whatever he wants, but he won't violate all kinds of rules. Right? "

Arthur nodded.

"Have you ever thought about what rules are not violated if you follow your heart?" Su ye asked.

Arthur said slowly, "I seem to feel it when you say so. If you don't exceed the rules, just don't violate the social rules, laws, customs, human relations, etc., it is indeed a high standard for ordinary people, but it is a low standard for great wisdom. So, what do you think is the standard of not exceeding the standard? "

Su Ye smiled and said, "do you know the great wisdom Kong, what is the highest goal he pursues all his life?"

Arthur shook his head.

"It is to create a great harmony world of courtesy and benevolence. I hope everyone will live in the most perfect way." Suye road.

"This is a respectable ideal." Arthur said.

"So, what do you think of Kong's Datong world than social rules?"

"Far beyond!" Arthur was awed.

"When Kong was 60 or 70 years old, he joked with his old friends and scolded his disciples. What about such an arbitrary Kong, who is deeper and more mature than you think?"

Arthur blushed and said, "naturally, Kong is better."

"Then, do you understand what is the biggest difference between you and Kong now?"

Arthur was stunned, nodded hard and said, "I see. I haven't even been able to "stand up", but I use social rules to restrain myself and others. I think that maturity must be very deep, cautious and steady in words and deeds. In my eyes, this standard is supreme. If anyone does not meet this standard, I will feel uncomfortable and object. However, Kong, the great wisdom, transcended the constraints of society. In his mind, the so-called maturity is only the lowest standard, and Datong world is the highest standard. His free will is not against the rules of society, but against the rules of the same world in his heart. "

Su Ye smiled and said, "well, there is a similar great wisdom in Greece. Can you remember who it is?"

"Plato!" Arthur exclaimed, "his ideal country idea is very similar to Confucius' great harmony world."

"So, does Plato fit your image of that mature man?"

Arthur shook his head and said, "the three famous Greek sages, whether Socrates, Plato or Aristotle, do not meet my mature standard. They are full of wisdom, humor, and master Plato is more romantic. They are completely different from rigid officials and nobles. "

"So, do you understand what I want to say?"

Arthur thought for a long time and said slowly, "I need to consider the rules and constraints of the society, but I can't be completely limited by the rules of the society; I can judge others, but not rudely; I will always reflect on whether I fall into self righteous ignorance and self righteous knowing destiny. The most important thing is that, like Confucius and Plato, I should find the supreme idea in my heart, pursue my ultimate goal, and do what I recognize and like, rather than what others stipulate. I want to be a part of me, not society and others. "

"Who is your best friend?"

"Kay."

"If you die, what do you want Kay to be?"

"Live happily, if you have spare power, help me complete the unfinished regret..." Arthur suddenly thought of something, and his voice stopped suddenly.

"You spend three years thinking about what your highest goal is. If you don't think and pursue for a long time and think you know what you really want and like, then you just show your confusion and know your destiny. "

Su Ye patted Arthur on the shoulder and turned back.

"Teacher's teacher, where's yours?"

"It has nothing to do with me except magic."

Arthur looked quietly at Su Ye's fading back.

He suddenly remembered an epic poem and muttered, "his heart is burning, but passers-by only see smoke."

Time goes by.

The primitive God alliance continues to clean up the remaining evils of the black wizard.

Schools of Magic have sprung up in the British mainland.

The mainland not only implements free nine-year compulsory magic education, but also provides students with three meals, books, clothes and other necessities of life. It also subsidizes the families of every child who goes to school.

No distinction between men and women.

Night schools are even opened. Any adult, even the elderly, is also eligible to enter night schools to learn words and popularize culture.

Anyone who can read can learn magic directly.

The reform of the city states in the British mainland is like a landslide and tsunami. Any aristocrat who resists will be solved by the temple and the people.

Those false gods and demigods have become nightmares for all those who resist the nobility.

The glorious city of the British continent quickly became the largest port in Britain and the end of the world slave trade.

Huge amounts of money spread all over Greece, northern Europe, Persia and Egypt. The British continent is like a huge black hole, absorbing countless slaves.

At the moment of landing, all slaves will be declared free people and then transported to the city states of the British continent.

As a result, the price of slaves in various countries doubled and continued to grow.

At the same time, a legend spread all over the world.

There is an ideal country in the British continent, where Plato's ideal country is hidden.

Where the river flows milk and honey, rich oil and fresh meat hanging on trees, picked by people, paved with gold and perfumed the ground.

It was a place where pirates and evil forces behaved well, because they found that the benefits of transporting slaves to England or making money in the British continent were both high and stable. Golden routes connecting the British mainland have been formed. This novel has been translated by www.novelhall.com and if you are reading this somewhere, they have stolen our translation.
