摘要
庄子发现,世俗之人(俗人)喜欢别人赞同自己的观点或喜好,而厌恶别人与自己的观点或喜好不同。问题在于,如果拥有巨大权力的君侯或高级官员亦无条件地喜人之同乎己而恶人之异于己,那么,严重者极有可能导致身死国衰。庄子认识到,世俗之人为了一己私欲或迫于外在压力,自觉或不自觉地悖逆大道,扭曲人性,最终沦落为物欲与强力的奴隶或牺牲品。庄子还揭明,世俗之人因为没有参透生死,即便其技艺精湛,一旦身临险境,也难免受到恐惧或痛苦的折磨。庄子指出世俗之人种种缺憾或致命弱点,其主要或根本用意在于劝导世人应尽量摆脱世俗习气的熏染或束缚,努力成为超越低级趣味的、对大道或人间正道有着虔诚而坚定信念或信仰的"至人"或"真人",唯有如此,才有可能体会到生活的至乐、人生之至真至善、天地之大美。
Chuang-tzu found that laymen enjoy other people who share common opinions and hobbies, and are disinterested in people who have different views and pursuits. The problem is that if a powerful officer promotes people who has the same likes and dislikes, without any conditions, they would probably destroy the country. Chuang-tzu knew laymen would become sacrificial lambs on the pressure of power. Laymen would rebel the public morals, and distort their human nature without awareness. Chuang-tzu revealed laymen would stay in fear and be tortured when they are in danger, even though they are excellent in their craftsmanship. Chuang-tzu pointed out that laymen have many regrets and weaknesses. He tried to persuade laymen to rid themselves of bad habits, and surpress their vulgar tastes. Be a person who has strong faith, be a perfect man in the right way. Only in this way, can laymen can enjoy the real happiness, real truth, and true beauty.
