What you said "this thing is ridiculous" is of course unreasonable, but it makes sense, that is, no matter how absurd it is, as long as it can appear, it means that it has soil for existence. Only when the soil where it exists is gone will it disappear. If it can continue to exist, that is to say, "reasonable."
A similar quote:
Everything happens for a reason, but there is no evidence.
There is inevitability in accidents.
There is nothing in the world for no reason.
"Being is reasonable" is actually abbreviated by Hegel (1770- 183 1, a German philosopher) on pages 165438 and 43 of Small Logic. The original translation is: "Everything.
Hegel's so-called "existence" does not refer to nature or things, but to the most common and abstract * * * phase, that is, the essence of things. And the so-called "reasonable" refers to rationality and absolute spirit. This rationality is not only a subjective ideal, but also the essence of things. If things conform to their own essence, then rational things will surely become a reality. Only rational can be called reality, so all realistic things are reasonable.
The reason why this sentence appears in Carnegie's book is actually just a metonymy. How can I put it? Now this sentence has been misunderstood in China, including the translator in Carnegie's book. In fact, when the worker was a leader, he said that "anything that seems absurd always has its absurd origin", that is to say, everything has its reasons. Instead of questioning and obsessing about "why", it is better to spend less energy on it.
Yes . . . Let me think of a similar famous aphorism. For example, there is a famous English proverb "Every why has its own reasons". Bergson said: the balance between cause and effect is so great that it is difficult to regard cause as the "biological parents" of result.
Sartre said: what exists is reasonable.
I have always believed that this statement itself is popular because reasonable factors are greater than and far greater than unreasonable factors, because many things in life are indeed like this. So, I'm not saying that I'm a tout of the so-called modern western "existentialism" philosophy, I'm just talking about the phenomenon.
Life itself is rich and colorful, and strange things are afraid that you can't think of them and others can't do them. This kind of time and freedom is unimaginable in our last life. Now they only envy, at most, they can't eat grapes and say sour, pretending not to like them. Everything that exists in reality always has its reasonable factors and reasons for existence. It's no use talking and predicting trends. Only to face, to adapt, to be a spectator, in other words, to participate or watch, without thinking about what should or should not be, to advocate or oppose. That's all about politicians. Why bother? Are you tired?
What exists is reasonable. For example, the problem of online buzzwords is worth your competition? Although its existence seems to affect the purity of Chinese, doesn't it also enrich or simplify the expression of Chinese to a certain extent, making the language more humorous and wise? We don't care about those uncertain things. There are language committees all over the country or everywhere. In modern society, the division of labor is meticulous, and each carries out its duties. We have our own language circle. If the child comes to PK with us or something, we will ignore it. If they must make us understand, they must express themselves in traditional language, as simple as that. For another example, everything in the market is profitable. Don't overestimate the market behavior, or you will be cheated without knowing it. Therefore, I firmly oppose the industrialization of education, the commercialization of academics and the vulgarization of culture. In that case, everything will enter the market, nothing needs to be demonstrated, everything is reasonable, and only society is unreasonable.
Existence is reasonable.
There is no doubt that this rationality may be temporary or it may depend on fallacy.
But it exists in the real society, that is, it has its own rationality, but this rationality is not necessarily accepted by the mainstream of society.
In fact, the so-called "reason" can be interpreted as "reliance" in a sense, which is reasonable and is also the basic law of survival.
Hegel's words
There is nothing wrong, what exists is reasonable.
But the key lies in how you understand the word "reason"
It is too narrow to understand it as human logical thinking. People's ideological logic will change with the changes of the times. This sentence can be popular for centuries, which proves that it has nothing to do with ideology. So this truth must be the most common truth in nature, human society, science and culture.
Just like the "Tao" put forward by our ancient thinkers, Tao gives birth to one, two, three and everything. Therefore, the existence of all things is natural and reasonable because of Tao.
