Harry Potter Morning Light
Chapter 496 Spring and Autumn in the Pot
"What did you do yesterday?"
"Oh, make desserts at home and meet new neighbors." She said absently while eating breakfast.
Severus was known by everyone to have a bad temper. Neville had a very miserable time in his fourth grade. He dissected a whole bucket of toads that were the same as his pet Raffles, and he was about to collapse at that time.
This has something to do with the Boggart in his third year. If the vindictive Potions professor knew about her conversation with Zhang Tao, he wouldn't know what he would think.
The Chinese like to educate people very much, but Severus is the kind of diehard that neither the White Wizard Dumbledore nor the Dark Lord Voldemort has taught well. It is a nightmare for them to know.
While looking at him and the bitter coffee, she thought, Chinese clear tea is bitter, not as sweet as English black tea, but this is the way they admire tea drinking.
Zhang Tao asked her, is the tea bitter? She said it was bitter, and Zhang Tao said that books are like medicine, and reading more books can cure mental illness.
He read the philosophy of yin and yang written by an American named Michael Sloat. Although many of his writings were viewed from the perspective of Western philosophy, they were very enlightening.
Michael regards personal interests and health as rational desires. If a person does not care about his future health, he thinks that this person is irrational. Lost his rationality, or in other words, his mind was no longer on her.
If a house catches on fire, it is rational for people to feel fear when they see the fire.
However, a person's fear of another person can have an empathy effect, and empathy can help someone deal with anxiety and fear to escape the feelings that make him anxious.
This kind of situation often happens to middle-aged men. Lucius and Severus had a hard time when Draco was in sixth grade, but Severus was looking for Pomona, and Lucius Malfoy was cheating on young women. , the target of their fear and anxiety is Voldemort.
When the emotion of fear reaches a certain intensity, they all lose their rational and objective judgment, and women can make them avoid facing him temporarily.
What Severus is nostalgic for may not be the life in seclusion, but the life without responsibility and freedom. After returning to human society, he will start to take responsibility again. His personal interests have formed a yin and yang opposition due to public interests.
Zhang Tao divides those who don’t care about their own health and future into Yin, those who care about their own health and future into Yang, those who are healthy and disregard others for their own interests are divided into Yin, and those who ignore themselves for the benefit of others are divided into Yang. Helpful people are obviously more masculine than indulgent people. The officials who stayed to take care of the common people during the plague in London were yang. The Stuart royal family who hid in Oxford were yin. There was no bloodshed during the Glorious Revolution When the incident happened, God's will decided to let the Yang side win, and the people's revolution followed the trend of God's will.
People who value selfish desires indulge in excesses. The Saudi prince next door died at the age of 32. If you want to live longer, you should restrain yourself. If you can’t control this desire, you should read books. Does wealth matter?
People who preach the theory that reading is useless, either have problems with their physical health or mental health, and usually show that they have no civic awareness.
Mongolia has planted a lot of trees for desertification prevention and control. After these trees become useful, the local people cut them down. They will definitely make money by doing so, but it will damage the public interest. Such people are not pillars, but moths. It cannot be learned. If people in the society think that as long as they have money, it is right, no matter what the source of their money is, then corruption and bribery and all kinds of monsters will start to emerge, and the "yin energy" will become serious.
But should not a single tree be cut down? Not so, if he cuts down a tree and plants another one, uses the cut down trees to build local sheepfolds, or builds a timber processing factory, properly develops forest resources, and benefits both the people living here and the forest, then It is a good thing, both personal interests and public interests are satisfied, as long as selfishness is not too heavy, there is nothing immoral in being a little selfish.
Albus Dumbledore sacrificed himself for the benefit of more people. His selfless heart is great, but it is also irrational for him to ignore his own health for public affairs.
Zhang Tao doesn’t seem to know that Albus is gay. If he and Grindelwald can start a family like an ordinary gay, Grindelwald will not go around giving speeches to stir up people’s hearts and dreaming of wizards ruling Muggles.
The yin and yang that the Chinese understand is completely different from what the Westerners understand. The ideals, desires, positive emotions, and negative emotions that the American named Michael understands are interpreted by Zhang Tao in this way.
Don’t forget your own health when making contributions to the world. Taoism pays attention to health preservation and sustainable development. She learned a lot from drinking tea with Zhang Tao, but the premise is that she must sit on the ground like him, otherwise he won’t say a word Will talk to her.
Severus couldn't pass the first test. I don't know if Neville can do it. He can learn Kung Fu from a Chinese wizard without looking at Severus' ugly face.
"What's wrong?" She recovered and found that she was still in the kitchen, not in Zhang Tao's reception room.
"Did you hear what I just said?" He said fiercely as if he had caught a student in a daze in class.
Are you not afraid? Seeing Harry's pale face after "remedial class", he looked like he was about to die, Hufflepuff didn't take the advanced potions class collectively, only Ernie went alone, he was the timid Hufflepuff A rare warrior.
"I thought your mind was lost on me." She said pitifully.
"What does that have to do with you not listening to me?"
"Then do you remember what I said before?"
He looked at her suspiciously.
"What did you say?" he asked hesitantly after a moment.
"You actually forgot?" She looked like she couldn't believe it. In fact, she didn't remember what she said.
He concentrates on his coffee.
"You can forget everything I say, and I don't expect you to remember the anniversary!" She had an idea and began to scold him.
"What anniversary?"
She turned away angrily.
Fortunately, she is not a real student, otherwise who would have the guts to talk to the old bat like that.
"Would you like to have a cup of tea with me?" Severus said behind her. "You're very good at making peace with people."
"This is not a matter of peace talks." Pomona said helplessly, "There is a horse out of control. Although he has a rein, he has no owner. Someone should control him."
"Who do you think will do?"
"He has a younger sister who is in Zhang Tao's hands, but I don't know if what Zhang Tao said is true."
"Why is he lying?"
"Compared with women, Ma Youxuan prefers power, and he may only care about his sister who is related by blood." Pomona sighed. "Now the paternity test is so simple, I think this is his helpless solution."
That book is called The Philosophy of Yin and Yang, the American always uses burning houses and his daughter collecting stamps as examples, hahaha
