From the original text of Zhuangzi's Three Masters of Health Preservation, "My life is limited, but my knowledge is also limited. With restrictions, there is no restriction, and it is almost there! It's almost enough for people who already know! Good has no near name, and evil has no near punishment. The Governor thinks that he can protect himself, support his relatives all his life, and work for many years. "
Life is limited, but knowledge is infinite (without boundaries), and it is doomed to fail to pursue infinite knowledge with limited life. Zhuangzi advocated "knowledge/ignorance", that is, knowledge should be clearly distinguished instead of simply saying "the more the better" or "the less the better". By the way, the more you know, the better; By the way, the less you know, the better
Therefore, seeking knowledge is not only a process of increasing knowledge, but also a process of identifying whether the acquired knowledge conforms to Tao and eliminating paradoxical knowledge: E69DA5E9E79FA5E98193313366303136. The "Tao" here can be understood as truth.
Human life is limited, and knowledge is infinite. Pursuing infinite knowledge with limited life will make them exhausted. In this case, people who pursue knowledge can only be tired.
Health-preserving people do good things not to pursue fame and gain, but to do bad things not to violate the criminal law. If they follow the laws of nature as the rules of doing things, they can protect their lives, preserve their nature, preserve their spirit and enjoy their families.
My life is limited, and so is my knowledge. With the limit, I'm dying.
