Regardless of who wins or loses in the debate between them, and regardless of the depth of Zhuangzi's ideological aesthetics, as far as facts are concerned, the statement that "a child is not a fish, but he doesn't know the joy of fish" is in line with objective facts. Don't say that people and fish, even two people face to face, can't fully understand each other's thoughts. If you put it in your life, it will be easier to understand.
"A child is not a fish" means not speculating about others.
We often question other people's practices. "What does he think?" "How can this happen?" "How can you do such a thing?" Can all these questions be answered by "children are not fish"?
We are not children, so we can't perceive the child's heart; We are not old people, so we can't feel the loneliness of the old people. By extension, you just don't speculate on other people's ideas.
If that's the case, how many unnecessary troubles this society should have! Gossip rumors, cyber violence, all have no market.
"A child is not a fish" is a respect for individuals.
Everyone has a rich inner world to face all kinds of problems in life, and everyone has different ideas. So we should be quiet and do ourselves well, and don't comment on the gains and losses of others.
Don't be too busy to deny or criticize what you don't understand. If it doesn't affect you, please respect others' choices.
I'm afraid I may not agree with Zhuangzi's ignorance. Take the past for the present, and my harvest is here.
