Andy's neighbor's sheep died, which not only made him feel better, but also made Andy stand up. From Liezi's Lost Dead Sheep in the Pre-Qin Period.
2. Original text
Andy's neighbor lost his sheep, so he led his party and asked Andy about his vertical pursuit. Andy said, Hey! If a sheep dies, why chase everyone? Neighbor said: There are many roads. Instead, ask: What about the sheep? Yue: I am dead. Yue: Wu? Yue: There are differences in Tao. I don't know what they are, so the opposite is true.
Andy's face suddenly changed. People who don't talk will move, and those who don't laugh will die. The owner blamed it, please say: sheep, cheap animals, and not the owner's, but the loss of jokes, what? If Andy doesn't answer, his master won't kill him.
3. The meaning of "lost lamb"
There are too many choices in life, and it is easy to get lost. People generally prefer a variety of options, thinking that they can find a better and more suitable one through comparison. But people's time is limited. God has given people many choices, but he no longer generously gives people enough time.
Just like the wrong road has different roads, people's choices are accompanied by choices, and the sheep they want to find in the end can only be disappointed. This principle also applies to learning. You must have a clear goal, otherwise you will learn too much. Everyone knows a little but not everything!
