Lutz argued with others about how much 3 times 7 equals, and then asked Confucius' story,,, and.

Lutz argued with others: passers-by said 372 1, while Lutz insisted that 3724 was equal to 24. Two people argue endlessly, and neither can convince the other. Finally, the two men asked Confucius to judge and agreed that the loser would pay twelve taels of silver. .

After Confucius asked about the situation, he immediately ruled that Luz lost the case, Luz gave passers-by twelve taels of silver, and passers-by left happily. Lutz was not convinced and asked Confucius, "Why did you judge me like this when I was right?" Confucius said, "I know you are right. However, you have been studying since childhood, but you argue with someone who has never read a book. Is it interesting? He is confused, not sure how much three times seven equals, but you argue with him! Therefore, I sentence you to lose, so that you can remember for a long time, and don't argue with confused people in the future. "

In life, we don't have to haggle over every ounce. You are a smart man, you know, you don't have to be confused. Why must others succumb to your point of view? Those idiots think that notoginseng equals twenty-four, so let him feel sad. Don't argue with him if he still insists on his own opinion. He's the fool, he's the one who's joking! He won't take your advice, and you won't become stupid. There is no need to argue about it. The most important thing is not to argue with a truly confused person. You won't lose anything by not arguing with him.

The second story

Lutz met a man in a green robe when he was traveling. During the conversation, there was an argument about how many seasons there are in a year. Lutz said; There are four seasons in a year, spring, summer, autumn and winter. But Mr. Green Robe said: There are only three seasons in a year: spring, summer and autumn. The two were flushed, and no one could convince anyone, so they decided to invite someone who understood and agreed, and whoever lost bowed their heads and apologized.

The two men went to ask Confucius, who asked why, and said to Luz, You are wrong. You should bow and apologize to others.

Luz is unhappy, but his teacher's life is very difficult. Reluctantly, he bowed to Mr. Green robe and apologized.

When Mr. Green Robe left, Luz was angry with Confucius: Say teacher! You usually teach us to study rigorously. There are four seasons in a year. Why lie?

Confucius said with a smile: it is a grasshopper, and its life has only experienced three seasons: spring, summer and autumn. How did he know there was winter?

Understanding of things is often influenced by many factors, such as living environment, life experience, knowledge level and so on.

For things that others don't understand, even the real truth, as long as the truth is clearly explained, it is a kind of respect for others to face others' incomprehension peacefully.

I can't understand what others say, so it's not a bad thing for me to accept it humbly, analyze it objectively and learn to listen.
