29. “为什么”的本质是理性的规律。整个宇宙都在秩序统治之下，不问秩序怎么行！人类是问着“为什么”进化到今天这个水平的，理越多越幸福。理你，就是跟你讲理，不讲理，双方还有什么可交流的？因为只有客观的理才是统一的标准；主观上，每个人有每个人独特的感觉，且飘忽易变，势必造成相互干扰、冲突，如何幸福？况且，宇宙由理性秩序主宰，非由主观感性控制，跟着感觉走，只能走入痛苦的深渊，请记住，在这个世界上，客观规律是第一位的，感觉是第二位的，先讲事理，后讲感受，次序不能颠倒。

29. The essence of "why" is the law of reason. The entire universe is governed by order, how can it be without it! Humanity has evolved to the level it is today by asking "why", and the more reason there is, the happier one is. Reason with you means talking to you with reason; without reason, what is there for both of you to communicate? Because only objective reason is the unified standard; subjectively, each person has their own unique feelings, which are elusive and changeable, inevitably causing mutual interference and conflict, how can one be happy? Moreover, the universe is governed by rational order, not controlled by subjective sensibility. Following one's feelings can only lead to the abyss of suffering. Remember, in this world, objective laws are the most important, followed by feelings. One should discuss matters of reason first, then feelings, and the order cannot be reversed.

37. 果真如此？指鹿为马，念一千遍，鹿就真的变成马了？这是主观主义者的鬼话，假如世界真是这样，一切岂不简单？科学都没有发展的必要了。世界归于真，假话是对客观世界的歪曲反应，一种错误的主观认识，一万年也变不成客观本身。纸上得来终觉浅，绝知此事要躬行；没有调查，没有发言权，只有亲历亲为，才能接近客观事物的本来面目。凡追求真正幸福的人，都非常重视亲自掌握客观实际情况，而不会轻信所闻、所见；只有那些一知半解、人浮于事的人，才会偏听偏信，误国误民。真的假不了，假的真不了，真理和谬误有时只有一步之遥，但就是这一步之遥，阻碍了谬误变成真理。

37. Is that really the case? To point at a deer and call it a horse, even if you repeat it a thousand times, does the deer really become a horse? This is the nonsense of a subjectivist. If the world were really like that, wouldn't everything be simple? There would be no need for science to develop. The world is true in essence; lies are distorted reactions to the objective world, a mistaken subjective understanding, which cannot become the objective itself even after ten thousand years. Knowledge gained from books is always superficial; to truly understand something, one must act upon it. Without investigation, one has no right to speak; only by personally experiencing can one approach the true nature of objective things. Those who seek true happiness attach great importance to personally understanding the objective reality and would not easily believe what they hear or see; only those who have a superficial understanding and are not grounded in reality would偏听偏信, and thus mislead the country and the people. The truth cannot be false, and the false cannot be true. Sometimes the truth and error are only a step apart, but it is this step that prevents error from becoming truth.

38. 人们生活中常用的现成的话。谚语类似成语，但口语性强，通俗易懂，而且一般都表达一个完整的意思，形式上差不多都是一两个短句。谚语内容包括极广，有的是农用谚语，如“清明前后，栽瓜种豆”；有的是事理谚语，如“种瓜得瓜，种豆得豆”；有的属于生活上各方面的常识谚语，如“饭后百步走，活到九十九”。类别繁多，数不胜数。

38. Commonly used ready-made phrases in people's lives. Proverbs are similar to idioms but have a stronger oral quality, are easy to understand, and generally express a complete meaning, usually in the form of one or two short sentences. The content of proverbs is extremely extensive, with some being agricultural proverbs, such as "Plant melons and beans before and after Qingming"; others are proverbs of reason, like "Sow melons and you will get melons, sow beans and you will get beans"; and some belong to common sense proverbs in various aspects of life, such as "Take a hundred steps after eating, and you can live to be ninety-nine." There are many categories, and it is countless.

39. 这实在是现实中的无奈之举，是人类社会的悲剧、容忍小人的悲剧。社会作为一个系统，客观上对其中的每个零部件都有要求，不合格的必须坚决清除出系统，不能让他影响社会的和谐、稳定。社会干净了，还何谈小不忍则乱大谋？但现实社会却养着许多小人、闲人，他们无所事事，惹事生非，欺负干实事的人，而干实事的人精力有限，只能忍让，这是一个有问题的社会，小人危害社会得不到应有的惩罚，反倒要求为社会谋福利的人忍让，天理何在？忍什么，让什么！为社会谋大利就包括清除小人、坏人，剜掉社会肌体上的烂肉，让它恢复健康。能不能除净小人是技术问题，想不想除净是是非原则问题。

39. This is indeed an act of necessity in reality, a tragedy of human society, and a tragedy of tolerating scoundrels. As a system, society objectively has requirements for each component part. The unqualified must be firmly removed from the system to prevent them from affecting the harmony and stability of society. When society is clean, then what is there to talk about when a trivial matter disrupts a major plan? However, the real society harbors many scoundrels and idlers who do nothing but create trouble,欺负 those who do real work. Those who do real work have limited energy and can only endure and give in. This is a problematic society, where the harm caused by scoundrels does not receive the appropriate punishment, and instead, those who seek to benefit society are asked to endure. Where is the justice? What should one endure and what should one give in to? Seeking the greater good for society includes eliminating scoundrels and evil people, excising the rotten flesh from the social body, and allowing it to recover its health. Whether or not one can completely eliminate scoundrels is a technical issue, while whether one wants to eliminate them is a matter of principle.
