No one can be a perfect person. Isn't that what "gold is not full of red, and no one is perfect"? With the help of external forces, we can make up for our own shortcomings. Therefore, I don't think the fox's approach is cunning. On the contrary, I think it is full of wisdom. Xunzi once said that "gentlemen are different in nature, and good and false are also in things." What he said is that people with truly outstanding abilities are essentially no different, but are good at using foreign things. There is no difference between Xunzi's "fake" and "fake". There is nothing wrong with foxes using their cleverness to win a place to live. Why do you become a treacherous and cunning person in people's eyes?
Since ancient times, people have been inseparable from outside help. Only with limited strength and external force can we achieve a career and even survive. In the savage primitive society, our ancestors knew that it was impossible to get food with their bare hands, so there was the Stone Age, followed by the Iron Age and the Bronze Age. Hunting and predation don't need to venture close to fierce prey for a long time, because their descendants invented shotguns, which enabled humans to upgrade their equipment again and again, and then use them to help themselves survive and develop. If human beings could not upgrade their ability to use external forces again and again, there would be no civilized society today. Zhuge Liang of Wolong, who set fire to Chibi in those days, with his astrological skills and little knowledge, succeeded in "borrowing" an arrow in one day, leaving his name in history and being praised by future generations. Who can not admit that Smith's "falsehood" is not noble and respectable wisdom?
Examples of the need for external forces to achieve goals or achieve higher efficiency are not only in ancient times, but also in modern science and technology, aerospace, military and other fields. In this era of information explosion, people can't live without mobile phones, telephones, networks and other communication tools, especially city people. Every house is an independent unit, and even the neighbors you see in the elevator every day are not very familiar. Therefore, the importance of mobile phone, telephone and network is reflected from it. If these communication tools suddenly disappear, how should modern people adapt? Maybe they will lose contact with the outside world in an instant. The importance of external force is obvious.
"Good is false to things" emphasizes not only "false" but also "good". We should use foreign things correctly and skillfully, instead of using material resources to do evil and do something against our conscience. Some military powers can interfere in the politics and economy of other countries and harm the interests of other countries by virtue of their military strength. Foreign objects are tools and are dead, but people are real living things and cannot be restricted by tools. Just like a rope can be used as a life-saving rope to save people trapped in caves at a critical moment, it can also be used as a criminal tool to bind innocent victims and become a life-threatening rope. In short, human beings should be good at learning from foreign things.
