The heart has a measure to know how to advance and retreat, and only by not fighting can you get your true heart. In the ancient Spring and Autumn Period, there were many scholars in the world. Most people in the world were chasing fame and wealth, fighting for power, and grabbing wealth. Everyone clung to them on tiptoe, and they calculated and fought with each other. By the Luoshui River, there lived two hermits, one named Shouzhuo and the other named Zhuchen. The two are young classmates, with similar knowledge but very different personalities. One has a measured heart, knows how to advance and retreat, and knows how to make choices. He will not fight for anything without grabbing it; As time goes by, the two people have completely opposite life endings, and they share the world's most truthful principles: the heart knows how to advance and retreat, and desire without boundaries will lead to disaster; what does not need to be fought for is fate, and what is forced is a burden. Shou Zhuo is indifferent by nature, and he has known propriety and the bottom line since he was a child. He has a certain standard in his heart, knows how to restrain himself and stop in everything, and never indulges his desires to spread wantonly. He often said: The human heart is like a river. If it is not restrained by embankments, it will overflow and cause disasters; human desires are like weeds. If it is not pruned in time, it will become desolate. Once desire has no boundaries, greed will take root, obsession will become entangled, disputes will come, and disaster will follow. When I was a boy studying, my classmates were all competing for the favor of famous teachers, the top spot in the school, and the praise of the neighbors, but Shouzhuo never participated. In academic competitions and reputation rankings, others are competing for them, but he gives in and gives them up indifferently; when others are trying their best to win fame, wealth, limelight, and favor, he watches indifferently and does not bother to get involved. Someone advised him: The bustling world is all for profit; the bustling world is all for fame. You are talented, knowledgeable, and magnanimous, so why don't you compete for ranking, future, or power? It is too pedantic to bury one's own talents in vain. Shouzhuo replied calmly: All the good things in the world that are up for grabs are not yours sincerely. There is no need to stand on tiptoe to please or fight for the fate, blessing, and future that truly belong to you. Anything that requires tugging, hesitation, or deliberate forcing does not belong to me. If I give it up, I feel at ease. He has always been transparent in everything he does. Halfway through his life, he knows better about choices. There are temptations of glitz and fame and gain on the road ahead, but he will not be greedy or obsessed with them; if there are disputes, entanglements, and favoritism around him, he will not get involved or get entangled. It is the normal state of the world to see through gains and losses. There is no need to be ecstatic when one is prosperous, no need to be depressed when one is down, one does not need to be arrogant when gaining, and one does not need to be obsessed with losing. The glitz will eventually fade away, and the excitement will eventually dissipate. Only by keeping one's heart and keeping one's duty can one maintain calmness and authenticity in this world of fireworks. There is a bottom line for being conservative in dealing with others: if there is any hesitation or wavering between him and others about people and things, he will never say anything or get entangled, he will just turn around and leave, giving up on his own initiative. Friendships and opportunities that others could freely meddle with and choose at will seemed to him a waste of value and a waste of energy even if he took a second look at them. He only prefers the kind of unswerving choice that requires no fighting, no testing, and only accepts fate that is determined to go to and treat each other sincerely. If it was a relationship or an opportunity that required him to tiptoe to accommodate, work hard to please, and fight for it through humiliation, he would never forcefully keep it, he would just let it go calmly and walk away slowly without giving it away. Don't get entangled, don't fight, don't be humble, don't please, keep your own character and bottom line, and would rather live alone in silence than hang out in compromising and fighting. On the other hand, classmate Zhuchen is exactly the opposite of Shouzhuo. His heart has no scale and his desires have no boundaries. He is greedy for fame, profit, power, and pursuit. In everything, he wants to compete for superiority, victory, and limelight. When he was a student, he used all means to compete for the top spot, ostracizing classmates, flattering teachers, and cheating to gain fame; after joining the world, in order to fight for official position and power, he clung to powerful people, intrigues, and formed cliques, scheming and fighting at every step. He must grab what others want; he must find ways to seize what others have; even if it is an opportunity that does not belong to him, he must work hard and insist on it, and refuse to give in even an inch. His desires are endless and he is never satisfied. He wants power after gaining fame, and wants to be admired when he has wealth. He is always fighting for it, always calculating, and always anxious. I don't know how to advance or retreat, I don't know how to make choices and convergence, I am trapped by vanity and fame, and I am trapped by greed and obsession. Someone advised him: You should be measured in your behavior, know how to advance and retreat in your actions, don't let your desires go, and it's hard to force yourself to last long. It's useless to fight for what doesn't belong to you; it's hard to stay with someone whose mind is not firm. It is better to relax your mind, learn to give in, keep your heart, and live a stable life. Zhuchen didn't listen at all, but sneered: What's the point of not fighting in this world? How can one get rich without robbing? Giving in is cowardice, not fighting is mediocrity. I am talented and ambitious, so I should go all out to get everything I want. How can I be content with being mediocre and giving it up to others? Since then, Zhuchen has become more and more competitive, refusing to give in on anything, competing for favors, fame, fortune, power, and limelight. When he encounters an opportunity, he fights for it, and when he makes a choice, he struggles with it. Even if the other person is wavering and hesitant, he is unwilling to let go. But desires are boundless and will eventually lead to disaster. He competed for fame and fortune, got involved in party disputes in the court, and made countless enemies through intrigues and intrigues; he forced friendships that did not belong to him, entangled and obsessed too much, and eventually ended up with people separated from each other and people betrayed relatives; he didn't know how to advance or retreat, and he only clung to the fight, and eventually got involved in power disputes. He was framed, stripped of his official position, and lost his family wealth. He spent his whole life fighting for fame and wealth, and tried his best to find ways to do it, but in the end he lost to his boundless desire and unwillingness to give in. But Shouzhuo never fights or grabs, climbs or compares, entangles or imposes anything in his life. He does not compete with others for fame and fortune, so he does not suffer from disputes; he does not compete with others for opportunities, so he does not suffer from gains and losses; he does not force the wavering hearts of others, so he does not suffer from internal strife. Know how to make choices in the middle of the journey, look down on glitz and keep your true nature, and remain calm and calm after ups and downs. He is in the fireworks of the world, does not join in the fun, does not pursue superficiality, and lives his life calmly and calmly. Always have a kind heart and treat others sincerely. Don't fight or rob but you will have your own blessings. Don't compare or compare but you will have your own future. You don't seek to be admired by thousands of people, but you seek to have a stable heart; you don't seek to be rich and powerful, but you seek to be calm for the rest of your life. When the old man from Luoshui saw the outcome of the two of them, he sighed with emotion and left behind an eternal motto: Only when you have a sense of scale can you know how to advance or retreat; if you want to have no boundaries, disaster is bound to happen. Halfway through life, the most important thing is to know the choices; only when the glitz and glamor is gone can you see the true nature. Ups and downs are normal in this world. Don't linger around for vain fame and fortune. Don't fight or grab, be neither humble nor arrogant, have a kind heart, and live your life calmly, and blessings will come quietly. The great road of the world has been the same since ancient times. People who are truly transparent have a sense of freedom that they give up to others, and they hate fighting and pulling in their bones. He has never been interested in all the people and things that need to be snatched, fought over, and calculated to please. If someone is hesitant or vacillating between you and others, don't get entangled or try to keep them, just quit and let go calmly. A fate that can be easily touched by others and replaced by others at will is not worth cherishing; a friendship that requires standing on tiptoe and working hard to win is not worth having. The most valuable thing in life is never the fame, fortune or companionship gained, but the firmness that does not need to be fought for, the certainty that does not need to be tested, and the natural preference. If you need to aggrieve yourself, humble yourself, or force yourself to do anything, it is better to let go generously, walk slowly without seeing him off, and let each of you be well. As a person, keep your inner standards, restrain your boundless desires, know how to advance and retreat, know the choices, be light on glitz, and look at gains and losses. Don't join in the fun, don't be vain, don't fight over winning or losing, don't have strong obsessions, have a kind heart, and walk through the fireworks of the world calmly. If you don't fight, you will have your own character; if you don't seek, you will have stability; if you don't rob, you will have blessings. Keeping your true heart, keeping your bottom line, and not clinging to, compromising, or getting entangled is the best practice in this life.

High-end and high-concept, exquisite writing, both literary and academic, it is a hard-core science fiction that starts from the perspective of dream and psychological analysis. It uses Cantor's infinite ladder and logic to explain the malleability of dreams and time and space. It's great.
