"School of cynicism?" the clown whispered.

Richard continued unaffectedly: "People of the cynic philosophical school all believe that true happiness is not based on foreign objects, such as abundant material, noble identity, or strong body.

Those who are truly happy do not rely on fleeting things, and pay more attention to inner satisfaction.Human desires are obviously endless, and following them can only lead to pain.Enough to stop, control desire, and discard the pursuit of material things, you can get happiness and happiness, just like children.

And Diogenes, which I said at the beginning, did this to the extreme. It is said that he lives in a wooden barrel, and all his property is only a cloak, a stick and a bag of bread, but he is incomparable. Happy, without desire.

There is a story about him that one day he was sitting by the barrel and basking in the sun. The king of his country, Alexander, came to see him and told him that "whatever he wants, he can be satisfied."He looked at the king and said seriously,'Please walk away from me and let me shine in the sun, thank you'."

Richard’s words were over, and the clown fell into deep thought for a long time. Obviously something unexpected happened to Richard, and Richard’s words made him touch deeply.It took a while for the clown to speak and said to Richard: "So, do you think this... Diogenes, is it right or wrong?"

"My opinion is not important," Richard said. "However, there are many people who hold different views from Diogenes, such as Epicurus."

"Epicurius?" The clown apparently had never heard of such a name.

"Yes, Epicurus." Richard nodded and said, "This man is the founder of the'Epicurean philosophy school.'

In Epicurean philosophy, everyone believes that happiness can be obtained through foreign objects.They don’t think happiness is special, on the contrary, they think that happiness is very broad-eating delicious food is happiness, comfortable bathing is happiness, and spending the night with a lover is happiness, buying what you want is happiness, and constantly doing things eventually achieves success Also happy.

In other words, the happiness of the body is the happiness of the soul.The only place where the happiness of the soul is higher than the happiness of the flesh is that you can learn to watch happiness without watching pain;

The views of the "cynic philosophy school" are totally disagreeable by people in the Epicurean philosophy school.In their view, in order to get happiness, and give up the happiness that is available at hand, the book is upside down.

They believe that if they want to be happy, they must chase.Happiness should be positive, not negative. The more happiness you want, the harder you work.In the process of hard work, giving up the relatively short-lived happiness to obtain greater, longer-lasting or stronger happiness is to make the happiness sublimated.In this way, life will not be let down and the meaning of life will be realized.Their famous saying is, "God is not afraid, death is not enough, suffering is easy to bear, and happiness is easy to ask"."

When Richard stopped, the clown fell into contemplation again and whispered, "God is not afraid, death is not enough, misfortune is easy to bear, happiness is easy to ask for?"

This time the clown was silent for a longer time than last time. Most of the time he looked up to Richard: "So, passers-by, you are inclined to this idea of ​​the "Epiculus philosophy school"."

"It's not exactly true," Richard said. "There are many philosophical schools. Neither the'cynic philosophical school' nor the'Epiculus philosophical school'. I don't like it too much. If I really want to let me choose, I At that time, I hope to choose the rest, such as mysticism."

"Mysticism? Who started this?" the clown asked.

"Uh, about the mysticism school, there is really no clear pioneer. It is generally considered that it is a mixed generation. In this school, many people think that happiness cannot be obtained from foreign objects or from the heart. Even if you get it, it is all false, not real happiness. Only when you experience a bigger self can you get real happiness.

The so-called larger self can be interpreted as'heaven and earth','nature','world', and'universe', of course, some people also call it'Dao'.

People in this genre believe that each of us is humble, insignificant, and meaningless.Only by struggling to find a large self and integrate into it can we find meaning.

In the process of integration, we will lose our tiny'self', just as a drop of water merges into the ocean, and the drop will disappear.But the disappearance is not the end, but the beginning.At that time, insignificance becomes great, and eternal and ultimate happiness comes."

"The water droplets merged into the ocean, and the little became great, and the ultimate happiness came?" The clown uttered, his voice slightly shocked. Obviously, he had never heard of this idea from Richard, and was very shocked.

For a long time, the clown looked at Li Cha seriously and asked, "Is this why you do anything? In order to find the existence of a larger self, try to merge with it and go to that greatness?"

Richard shook his head and said seriously: "It's not really, Mr. Clown. The reason why I do things can be said to be very simple, but it can also be said to be very complicated. If we really want to explore from the source, then we need to discuss it carefully. Many philosophical schools work.

From the original primitive philosophical school, to the Socrates school, to the Plato school, then to the cynic school, Epicurean school, and mystic school we just talked about, then the Neo-Plato school, the humanistic school, the rationalist school , Schools of materialism, schools of empiricism, schools of agnosticism, etc.

After talking about these, maybe there will be an answer."

The clown froze, watching Li Cha do not know how to talk for a while.

At this time, Richard said aloud and asked, "Mr. Clown, are you sure you really want to discuss with me? In other words, do you remember, the first question you asked me?"

This!

The clown looked at Richard. His eyes under the mask showed strange eyes. The next moment was abruptly said: "It's almost time for me to perform. I'll leave first. We... have time to talk again."

After finishing speaking, the clown turned his head and left.

Richard watched the clown leave, and then turned around. Unexpectedly, he saw a familiar white crow on a roof beside the square.The next moment the hand was violently lifted, a piece of ice had condensed, and pieces of it quickly peeled from the ice and hurriedly hit the white crow like an arrow.

Plastic water type ice branch spell, zero ring high order, ice fragments!

The white crow felt the danger, quickly flew, escaped the attack, and then flew high and far away.

This did not surprise Li Cha, but watching the white crow look slightly embarrassed, Li Cha squinted and said: "Whether it is kind or malicious, I will not cooperate well, after all... I have Your own ideas, I hope you pay attention!"
