Lao Tzu's "Destruction of the Ego" 1 (Essay)

(This is a dialogue between me and a certain woman.)

Me: I believe that the key to deciphering Lao Tzu lies in how to perceive and treat the "ego." "I am myself" and "nothing", which are mentioned in Chapter 13, are especially important. I think Lao Tzu is saying that the "ego" should be "extinguished". This is "ego extinction" on a psychological or psychiatric level. In other words, it is possible to entrust the nation only to those whose "ego" has died. Otherwise, in the second half of Chapter 13, the person who merely "self-protects" is called "I have no self".

If you say that you are a such person, "Lao Tzu" will be a very boring book, isn't it?

Do not you think so?

Some time ago, I told you about the "Void Ship" of Zhuang Zhou. If the boat that crashed into it had people on board, the people who were hit would get angry, but if the boat that had no people on board crashed into it, the people who were hit would have no reason to get angry. If this "void itself" is the "ego", then something like this can happen.

Therefore, read chapter 26 with the idea that a person who can do the above is called a "gentleman". Here, "Gentleman" does not necessarily need to be read as "military commander".This chapter states that those who have extinguished their “self” are (as a phenomenon) unmoved by external things.I think you are saying that. I think that it is also the figure of "Lao Tzu" that talks about "life or death, experiences and thoughts at the limit". 　　　　　　

She: What are some examples of people who have had "ego annihilation"?

 Like Gandhi? The one who extinguished this "ego" is (as a phenomenon) an external

If anyone knows of a living example of someone who is unmoved by things, please let me know. In terms of historical figures,like Takamori Saigo? Even so, I think there are very few people like that. However, in the second half of Chapter 13, he writes the opposite. Are you writing about doing your own thing properly and not being caught up in the events of the world and not being tossed about? I feel like it's an example of what can be done in chapter 13 when the ego can be extinguished.

グンバイ

軍配は、日本の伝統的な道具の一つで、主に戦場において使用されました。扇子のような形状をしており、紙や布などで作られた扇の部分と、それを支える柄からなります。軍配は、戦場で指揮官である武将が持ち、合戦の際に味方の陣営に対して指示を伝える合図として用いられました。また、戦況に応じて、軍配で風を起こして味方を鼓舞したり、逆に風を防いで敵の勢いを弱めたりするといった使い方もされたと伝えられています。さらに、軍配は勝敗を決める役割も持ち、戦いが終わった後に、勝利した武将が軍配を振って勝ちを宣言する儀式が行われました。現在では、軍配は相撲の行司が持つ道具として知られており、相撲の取組において勝敗を判定する際に用いられています。

TW: discussion of something approximating suicidal tendencies but with the usual crack programming of this blog

“Ah, High General Windu”, says Fox, pleasantly. “So we meet again.”

High General Windu raises an unimpressed eyebrow at him, Fox thinks, though it’s getting hard to tell with all the blood rushing to his head. “If I let you go, will you try to throw yourself out of another window?”

Fox makes a vague shrugging motion - or tries to, anyways. It’s hard to tell where any of his limbs are going, hanging upside down in the air as he is. “I am willing to discuss terms.” A bridge will do just fine.

Impossibly, the High General’s eyebrows climb even further up his forehead. “A compromise, then, esteemed Commander.” And so, he righths Fox the head way up in the air, but leaves him floating just above the ground, at which point several painted shells come skidding around the corner followed by billowing robes and screeches.

“WHAT”, says Kote, calmly, “THE BANTHA-KARKED, FORCE-LOVING KRIFF, FOX.”

“You’ll short out your helmet mic”, Fox advises him, sagely. Fondly, he thinks back to decimating his own on only his second time in the newly-christened official Coruscant Guard Scream Closet. He’d just received the comm about the Zillo Beast being transported to 000, and made sure to take his bucket off thereafter to improve the quality of his closet time.

High General Windu’s face does something complicated between sympathy and constipation.

Because the Galaxy doesn’t hate Fox enough already and Cody wasn’t enough on his own, Wolffe elbows his way through their batch to plant himself in front of him, shoulders squared and shaking with repressed rage. “If you try that again, dickhead”, he begins, in a low growl that quite frankly sounds more cringe that intimidating, “I’m going to resurrect you and then kill you again.”

“Ah, Wolffe”, Plo Koon says, in his deep, shivery timbre, “Remember our conversations about effective conflict resolution and communication of needs?”

Wolffe’s eyes narrow at Fox, because all non-Guard are sweet summer children who walk around buckets off on 000 like absolute lunatics. Fox prays they never have to find out why that’s a bad idea. “I feel”, his ori’vod presses out between clenched teeth, “that if you make me watch you throw yourself out of another window, I’m going to jump after you and strangle you on the way down, you little bitch.”

“That’s fair”, says Fox, and watches High General Kenobi bury his face in his hands. Wolffe twitches in place and makes an aborted groaning noise, the hypocrite.

“Excuse me, High Marshall Commander Fox, but I fail to see what’s so dire about this situation that the Jedi High Council and your brothers cannot help you solve”, says Windu, the only sane one left on this Force-forsaken bloated corpse of a planet. Behind the gaggle of Jedi and ori’vode already gathered in front of Fox, the rest of them come veering around the corner in a commotion that’s quite frankly embarrassing. High General Yoda is mounted on Skywalker’s back like he’s a race-Eopie, which is Fox’ only consolation.

He got up this morning at 0300, bleary-eyed and with a pounding headache as always, and all was right in the world. And then Fox got called into the Jedi High Council’s chambers and was ceremoniously informed that in the wake of Chancellor Palpatine’s unfortunate demise (hah), and through the emergency state of the Senate, as well as several invented promotions foisted on Fox to make the delegation of any and all paperwork less shady, he was now next in the chain of command and-

Well, Fox is the acting Chancellor, in short.

Haha, he had said, and been meet with several seconds of silence, until it got both awkward and exceedingly painful. Wait, he’d said. You’re kriffing serious.

Kriffing serious, we are, had said High General Yoda, and thus Fox launched himself out the first best window with a maniacal cackle of, you’ll have to catch me first!

And catch him, High General Windu sure did.

“The will of the Force this is”, Yoda interrupts Fox’ train of thought. He scans him thoughtfully from beneath his wizened brow, and hems to himself. “Shake things up, this will. Determine the fate of the Galaxy, this shall. A feeling, I have, that a good Chancellor you will make. A better one, hmmm.”

“That’d be high praise, if not for the fact that a dead lemming would make for a better Chancellor than the last one”, says Fox, drawing and indignant gasp from Skywalker. He doesn’t bother with either that or the green goblin’s cackle, lost in the deep sense of resignation that settles over his shoulders like a suffocating blanket.

“Alright, then, get me Thorn on the comm. As my first act in office, I’m firing all the Jedi. No offense, but you’re kind of a disaster. Then, someone get me to the Chancellor’s office, I’m calling Dooku to let him know the war’s off. And please get me Judicial, they’ll be up all night working on my datafolders - I’m having the Senate arrested.”

“Who - is - arresting - “, Bly pants, hands on his knees from where he’s just come sprinting around the corner with his Jedi.

Underneath his bucket, Fox smiles a smile that’s all teeth. “The Senate”, he says, sweetly, wondering if he’s just imagined the shiver that’s gone through the room. “I’m suing the Senate, and taking them all into temporary custody for abuse of sentient rights.”

thinking about a whumpee on a forced march through rough terrain

hands tied in front of them, on foot while their captors are mounted, sleeping out in the open, forced to beg for adequate food and water

maybe they're barefoot, a captured royal in silken robes

maybe they're in a torn suit or soldier's uniform

maybe they were stripped at the start, increasing the exposure to the elements, the humiliation

are they a terrified mess from the beginning, or do they try to endure with dignity? how long before they're stumbling, barely putting one foot in front of the other? how long before they fall?
