Recently, I was chatting with a Brazilian friend who was far away from abroad. When the conversation got heated, it actually came to the subject of whether I would rather "I would rather betray the whole world than the whole world could betray me" or "I would rather the whole world betray me." I can’t let the world down.”

Undoubtedly, we are talking about being a human being, and what kind of person we are?

In order to clarify the topic, first find out the origin of "I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me":

Speaking of Cao Cao, he once fled to a friend's house. Ask the family to kill a pig for entertainment. But when Cao Cao heard someone outside talking about how to kill him, he thought it was to kill him, so he killed all his friends and family. When he found out that the pigs were tied up, he realized that what they were talking about was how to kill the pig. When I went out, I met a friend coming back and asked: "We are killing a pig for entertainment, why did you leave?" Cao Cao then killed his friend as well. The subordinate asked: Why did you still kill him when you knew it was wrong? Cao Cao said: I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me! If I don't kill him, if he goes back and finds his family dead, he will definitely report my whereabouts. It's better to eliminate the root cause.

When a friend asked me to explain this meaning, I immediately responded like this:

——Ah! I never thought that "I would rather let the world fail me than I will let the world down" could find a second person to agree with me. I thought I would be criticized! In fact, "I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me" and "Let the world betray me rather than let the world betray me" are also similar in that they both take the world as their own responsibility, but they are just "ruthless" and ambitious ; A "kindness" means being kind to others; just like a good doctor, he thinks more about his patients and others. This is also the policy for you and me to live in the world. This is also the source of strength why we can continue to work hard after our sixtieth birthday. .

Then, my friend said: This is what we have in common! "Just a "ruthless" and ambitious person;" I don't understand? How does the word ruthless mean - ambitious.

Ha, ha, this conversation is really troublesome. A Uyghur girl has "braids"! Or the old woman's "foot-binding cloth" will lead to many, very long, fragrant and smelly... topics.

I replied: First, Cao Cao said these words after killing his friend and his whole family out of suspicion, so I say "cruel"! People who are not "cruel" will not be able to do it. Secondly, only Mao Zedong and Lu Xun approve of Cao Cao's evaluation. History has regarded him as a traitor. I agree with Mao and Lu's views. Therefore, I am not even ambitious. It's no use, but seeing him as a man who conquers the world is just too ambitious. "Hard", strictly speaking, is also a neutral word. I disapproved of Cao Cao's accidental killing of friends and family, and later simply killed his friends as well. From a humanistic point of view, human life is above all else, how could he kill people at will? But I cannot be overly conclusive about a person who created the world and seized political power, so I leave some room for words. We are ordinary people, so naturally we cannot behave according to Cao Cao's words, which is so easy to close ourselves off. Only by doing this in reverse can we be magnanimous and tolerate the people of the world.

My understanding may cause a lot of controversy.

However, I think this topic is interesting. If I put it on my blog and let bloggers comment on it, wouldn’t it be like Hong Kong Phoenix TV’s “One Tiger, One Seat Talk”, which is very lively and exciting? There are topics to talk about, and everyone can hold their own opinions! Therefore, this article appears, and interested friends can discuss it.

In people's lives, there must be many people who hold the view that "I would rather let the world down than let the world let me down." I randomly searched the Internet and excerpted a few paragraphs as follows:

A said: In fact, it was reasonable for Cao Cao to say this at the time. Cao Cao borrowed a sword and tried to stab Dong Zhuo, but he offered it and ran away. He met a few officers and soldiers in a small inn. With Cao Cao's ability, it was not difficult to kill several officers and soldiers and escape. However, Cao Cao did not kill anyone at the time. He tried to muddle through but was killed. He was captured by Chen Gong, but fortunately Chen Gong appreciated him and fled with him. On the road, the two met Cao's father's friend Boshe by chance. They stayed in the old man's village at night and suddenly heard the sound of sharpening a knife. Cao Cao had just come back from walking around the gate of hell. Now he was even more frightened. Just imagine his mood at that time. In addition to picking up the sword and striking first What else can you do to be strong? After Cao Cao killed the old man's family, he realized that he had killed the wrong man. It turned out that the old man's family only wanted to kill pigs to entertain him. The two had no choice but to leave, and on the way they met an old man who was returning home alone to sell wine. Cao Cao killed the old man to eliminate future troubles.

Just imagine that under the circumstances at that time, under the questioning of Duke Chen, what else could Cao Cao say besides saying, "I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me"? Only this sentence can express Cao Cao's mood at that time. Everything is beyond reason, but in the real environment, everything is within reason. Therefore, simple emotions are just illusions, and only emotions in reality are real. Cao Cao was flexible, realistic, and achieved hegemony. Chen Gong held illusory truth and died in troubled times without any ability.

B said: "I would rather teach me to betray the world than teach the world to betray me." This is the side of Cao Cao that best highlights his ambition. He can be wrong, but his subordinates cannot be wrong. There is a saying. Just let Cao Cao kill Lu Boshe - it's a mistake to make a mistake. In order to conquer the world, he coerced the emperor to command the princes. This is the embodiment of Meng De's great talent and broad strategy. He was not in a hurry for success. He knew how to hide one's strength and bide his time, not to earn temporary gains, and was far-sighted. However, a wise man must make mistakes once he filters through, and his suspicious heart was unintentional. It was the reason why he lost the battle. Cao Cao killed Lu Boshe - making mistakes is the necessary theory of philosophy; - making mistakes is often an expedient measure for people who are helpless. If a person who is in a dangerous situation wants to escape unscathed, this is the only way to go...

C said: My personality is very introverted, so some of my ideas are also very extreme. When I was very young, I was often bullied, so I wrote down their names and vowed to take revenge when I grew up. Maybe it was because I was still young? After some time it was forgotten. After I got older, I learned a lot of knowledge that I didn't know before, and I also accepted some different ideas. So I remembered what Cao Cao said. If nothing unexpected happens, this sentence will become my unchanging belief in life. This famous saying is: "I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me."

D said: I have been thinking about Cao Cao's words these days: I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me. Lose me! Ignorant people are clamoring about wrong and right. This world has never been able to understand. Asking others not to be selfish is just to satisfy your own selfishness. It makes me sick to use other people's feelings to decorate my own vanity. I just regret that I saw through it too late. Did I really think that I was great? I thought all the pain I had experienced was so meaningful. Now I can see through it, everything is hypocritical and selfish. If you yourself have no morals, why should you ask others to have high morals? How ironic! In this world, people must learn to protect themselves! Could it be that Cao Cao should have been talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality when the wind was raging and everyone was surrounded by soldiers? He should have died! Morality, benevolence and righteousness have always served the ruling class and selfishness! No one is born to be a slave, and no one is born to do harm to others. Aren't I suppressing myself like this? Even when that man said something rude to me on QQ, I just said "You are so rude" and then deleted him. Bear it, bear it! Grinding my claws! Countless creatures with shameless names emerge from contradictions. Let them hate you, I will not forgive any of them!

The above are my views excerpted from the Internet through Baidu. Ha, ha, the world is really big and has everything.

In people's lives, it is not always "I would rather let the world fail me than let the world fail me!" There are certainly people who advocate the view of "I would rather the world fail me than I can let the world fail me." . My Brazilian friend and I hold this view. I believe that after this article is published, we will still be able to find people who share our view. Don't think that "I would rather let the world fail me than I can let the world fail" means incompetence or weakness. If you think so, you are wrong. In fact, its spiritual essence is kindness, integrity, and generosity. Being sincere to others does not mean that you are mentally retarded; if you do not lie, do false things, or deceive others, it does not mean that you cannot survive.

Isn't there an old saying in China - "Suffering a loss is a blessing":

Isn't there a famous saying by Zheng Banqiao - "It's rare to be confused":

In fact, Being able to suffer losses is a kind of state of being a human being; being fake and confused is a kind of wisdom in dealing with things. Living in the mortal world, it is inevitable to have conflicting opinions and fight with each other when faced with common things, and the fluctuations of people's hearts are infinite. A person can also hit a rock and sink like a ship. Conscience is the anchor. The most terrifying thing is that, like an anchor, he can break the anchor chain and sink to the bottom of the sea.

In the face of a complex social environment, being able to say "it's a blessing to suffer" and "it's rare to be confused" requires the demeanor of a saint, and it is really not easy for people who can reach this state.

In real life and communication between people, what is most needed is to be able to suffer losses, endure grievances, and be worthy of others. If everyone can reach this state, then all the grudges and grudges in the world can be resolved.

Let’s just say these, and let friends express their opinions on the remaining topics.

Finally, please remember that Liang Shiqiu’s wife Han Jingqing also said: I would rather everyone in the world fail me.
