Zhuangzi said: "Externalization does not internalize." What do you mean?
Zhuangzi mentioned a kind of life values in his book: "externalization without internalization", which means that a person should stick to his own nature in his heart and not go with the flow, while facing the outside world, he should be approachable and obedient. However, I sadly found that my "inner persistence" seems to be incompatible with this "external world"! What does the outside world need? Flattery, cynicism, hypocrisy, duplicity, playing politics, trying to make small profits at the expense of others and turning black and white. . . . Wait, wait, wait. Can I do this? You can't do it, you don't like it, even you hate it. However, your frankness, your honest and frank, your evil, including your appearance, are insulted, ridiculed, used and even treated unfairly by a one-vote veto when encountering cruel reality. The villain regards you as an alien, and the gentleman keeps his distance from you, so you are imprisoned in a narrow and lonely space, in the night when no one is there. It seems that the only way out is to give up your "inner attachment", stop insisting on yourself, and adapt to the "world" that you despise and hate, otherwise you will hit a wall everywhere and work hard!
