 Is there still hope in the world?

 　　 It seems that this is a problem nobody cares about.  But in fact, in the depths of a collective subconscious, there is an idea.  This idea is reflected in several western science fiction works, which is actually quite shocking.  They all think of outer space colonization.  They think that the earth is hopeless.


 　　 But this is a dead end.  Even if a substitute for the earth is found, as long as the way of thinking of mankind remains unchanged, soon this new earth will be destroyed.



 　　Is there still hope in the world?


 　　 In fact, it needs only a turn of thought.


 　　First: Can we change a way of thinking?  Replace lying with honesty?


 　　 This is not just an ordinary human relationship.  It's the change of people's entire ideological system.  Only with absolute honesty can the truth be found.  If you can only rely on some half-true and half-false articles, especially lies in history, religion, and even politics, the truth is very remote.  The bastards of thousand years ago made up lies at will. From then on, people will not be able to judge the truth based on their false testimonies.  Human experience is very precious, but because of false testimony, truth is far away and human wisdom is humbled.


 　　 If we humans can change a way of thinking and respond to the challenges of the world with a sincere and selfless thought system, the distance between truth will be shortened.  The world’s problems can be solved gradually.


 　　The question is: Why can’t people be honest?


 　　 Because people’s thinking stays at the individual stage.  They cannot see the world as a whole because their only concern is in a cage of self.


 　　Second, can we give up individual thinking?

 　　The 4 stages in life such as birth, old age, sickness and death, and even the concept of reincarnation, start from the individual.  The traditional idea is that everything in the world is emptiness except matter.  Either eating, drinking and having fun, or all four.


 　　 Actually, the relationship between material and spirit is not so simple.  The world is neither material nor emptiness, but a kind of circulation.  Individuals and individuals are connected, circulated, and communicated.

 　　

 　　From this perspective, matter is still matter.  I left, the world is still the world.  I cannot take away the matter, but what I have is not emptiness.  Because I am a part of the material, and I have pushed the world.


 　　 If I think that everything in the world is nothing but matter, then I will not actively work hard.  Since everything is empty, what are you still trying to do?  But after getting rid of individual thoughts, I may know that I am valuable.


 　　 Material and spirit are inseparable, this is the spirit of Zhuangzi.  The "things" in Qi Wu theory (齊物論)are two in one.  I have lofty ideas, but I still work hard in this world.  Being able to work hard is what I want most.  This is the greatest happiness.


 　　 Individual enjoyment has very little meaning.  Anyone who understands this will know that it is too unworthy to abandon the lofty purpose of being a human being for the sake of small and humble material benefits.


 　　 Third, the world often mentions love.  But the essence of love is still the overall concept.  The love of the individual, the love of a small unit, and even the love of the family and the country must be viewed as a whole to be truly meaningful.


 　　 Why is love so important?  Because love is not only mutual help and mutual benefit, but also the foundation of wisdom.  Without love, there is no wisdom.  As mentioned above, everything is empty.  Without the idea of ​​love, there is a small unit of self only. What you seek is self-interest, it is impossible to look forward and foresight, and has nothing to do with wisdom.


 　　 Fourth, a person who has the above three advantages is still basically a dead person.  Because it is lifeless.  You are honest, you can see as a whole, you have love and wisdom, but you are still just a dead person.

 　　

 　　 A living person is constantly moving forward.  You have an immense thirst for knowledge, you never stop exploring, you never stop developing, you are a living person.  What you represent is not yourself, but the life force of your race.  You are moving, you are not dead.


 　　 The last question is, after reading the above four points, it seems that a very simple idea can really save the earth?


 　　 of course is impossible.


 　　 Its like taking a shower for a duck. The duck felt nothing.  She will not listen. The world is still declining.


 　　 Someone must be truly touched, touched, shocked, enlightened, and understood, the world is truly hopeful.


 　　 With the first honest person, there is the second.  The world is full of hope.

　　好像這是沒有人理會的問題。但其實，在一種集體潛意識的深處，是有一種想法的。這想法反映在西方若干科幻作品裡，其實是相當震撼人心的。他們都想到外太空殖民。他們以為，地球是沒有希望的。
　　但這是一條不通之路。就算真的找到了一個地球的代用品，只要人類的思維方式不變，很快，這個新的地球，也一樣會被毀壞的。
　　世界是否仍有希望？
　　其實事情只在一轉念之間。
　　第一：我們能否改換一種思維方式？以誠實代替說謊？
　　這不止是一種普通的人際關係。而是人的整個思想體系變更。只有絕對誠實，才能找到真理的。倘若只能依據一些半真半假的文章，特別是歷史學，宗教學，甚至政治學裡的謊言，真理就是非常遙遠的。多少千年前的混蛋隨意編造謊言，以後，人們就無法憑著他們的假見証判斷真相。人類的經驗本來十分珍貴，但因為有了假見証，真理遙遠，人的智慧卑下。
　　倘若我們人類能夠改換一種思想方式，以至誠無私的思想系統回應世界的挑戰，真理的距離，就會縮短一些。世界的問題，也能逐步解決。
　　問題只是：因何人們無法誠實？
　　因為，人們的思考，停留在個體階段。無法從人類整體的視野著眼。
　　第二，我們能否放棄個體思維？
　　所謂生老病死，甚至輪迴觀念，出發點都是為了個體。而傳統的想法以為，世界上，除了物質就是空虛。不是吃喝玩樂，就是四大皆空。
　　其實，物質和精神的關係，並不如此簡單。世界不是物質，亦不是空虛，而是一種流轉。個體和個體之間，是互相連接的，是流轉的，是溝通的。
　　
　　從這一角度看，物質仍是物質。我離開了，世界仍是世界。物質我不能帶走，但我擁有的並非空虛。因為，我是物質的一部份，而我已經推動世界。
　　如果以為，世界上除了物質就是空虛，則我就不會主動努力。既然一切空虛，還努力來做甚麼？但擺脫了個體的想法之後，我才可能知道，我是有價值的。
　　物質和精神不可分，這是莊子精神。齊物論中的「物」，就是二合一的。我有崇高理念，但我仍是在現世中努力。能夠不斷努力，才是我最想要的。這才是最大的幸福。
　　個體享受，意義其實很少。但凡明白這一點的人，都會知道，如果只為了小小卑微的物質利益，就放棄了做人的崇高宗旨，就是太不值得了。
　　第三，世人常常提及愛。但愛的本質，仍是整體觀念。個體之愛，小單位之愛，甚至家庭和國家之愛，都要從整體看，才是真正有意義的。
　　為甚麼愛是如此重要呢？因為，愛除了是彼此之間的互助互利，還是智慧的基礎。沒有愛，就是沒有智慧。以上所說，一切成空。沒有愛的想法，就是小單位了。所謀求的是私利，是不可能高瞻遠矚的，是和智慧不相干的。
　　第四，有了上述三種優勢的人，仍然基本上是一個死人。因為，那是沒有生命力的。你誠實，你能夠從整體看，你有愛和智慧，但你仍只是一個死人。
　　
　　一個活著的人，是不斷前進的。你擁有無比的求知慾，你永遠不停的探索，你永遠不停的開展，你才是一個活著的人。你所代表的，並不是你自己，而是你這一個族類的生命力量。你是動的，你不是死的。
　　最後一個問題是，看完了上述四點，好像很簡單的想法，真的能夠挽救地球？
　　當然是不可能的。
　　那只可能是水過鴨背，皮笑肉不笑，眼也不用眨一下，世界仍是繼續沒落下去。
　　一定要有人，真正的觸動了，感著了，震撼了，頓悟了，明白了，世界才是真正有希望的。
　　有了第一個誠實的人，就有第二個。世界是充滿希望的。;
