It is an era of overusefulness. Modern people leave their homes today to prove their usefulness, obsessed with the idea that they lose their value if they are not useful at work or at home. Philosopher Kang Shin-ju talks about the teachings of Zhuangzi as a philosophical book that helps all of us living in an era of overusefulness regain positivity and self-esteem in life. Hui Shi said to Zhuangzi, “Your words are useless.” Zhuangzi said, “Only when you know uselessness can you talk about usefulness together. The world is not wide and not big, but what is useful to people is the land where they can set their feet. So if you leave only the land you are standing on and dig up all the rest of the land until you reach the underworld, would the land you are standing on be useful to people?” Hui Shi answered, “It is useless.” Zhuangzi said, “Then it is self-evident that uselessness is useful.” #Zhuangzi #KangShinJu #ZhuangziClass #Usefulness #YellowHeaven #Value #HyeSi ▶️ Program: KangShinJu's Zhuangzi Class 1 - Yellow Heaven Story ▶️ Broadcast Date: 2023.01.23
