This sentence comes from Liezi Tian Rui.
The original text is as follows:
People in Qi were sent to die, forgetting to eat and sleep.
Those who are worried about others, because they know it, say, "God, gas accumulates in the ears and grieves at the place of death. If you bend over and stretch and stay in the sky all day, why worry about falling? "
The man said, "The sky is full of air. Why don't the sun, the moon and the stars fall?"
The knower said, "The sun, the moon and the stars are also full of glory, so they can only fall, not slander."
The man said, "What happened to Naidi?"
People who know the truth say, "One ear on the ground makes up for four deficiencies, and you die everywhere. If you stumble and stop on the ground all day, why worry? "
Happy are those who give up, and happy are those who know. When Chang Luzi heard this, he smiled and said, "There are rainbows, clouds and storms. At four o'clock, this kind of gas accumulation is even in the sky. Mountains, rivers, seas, rocks and firewood are also products of this product. Knowing the accumulation of qi and the accumulation of blocks, is it not bad? Heaven and earth, one of the beautiful things in the air, is the biggest of them.
It is true that it is difficult to be poor in the end; Of course, it's hard to predict and know. People who worry about their bad things are sincere; It's not that bad. Heaven and earth must be bad, so be it. Why don't you worry about it when it's not good? Ziliezi smiled and said, "It is absurd to say that heaven and earth are not good, and it is absurd to say that heaven and earth are not bad. I don't know whether it is bad or not. Although there is one, there is another, so life does not know death, and death does not know life; I don't know if I should come. Bad and not bad, how can I tolerate it? "
Vernacular translation:
Individuals in the state of Qi are worried that the sky will fall, there is nowhere to rely on, and they can't eat or sleep. Another person worried about Qi's sorrow went to enlighten him and said, "The sky is just accumulated gas, and there is no place without air." You move, breathe, breathe, and move in the sky all day. Why are you worried that the sky will fall? "
The man said, "The sky is angry, so won't the day, the moon, the stars and the morning all fall?" The person who enlightened him said, "The sun, the moon, the stars and the morning are also things that shine in the air. Even if they fall, it won't cause any harm. " The man said, "What if the ground sinks?"
The person who enlightened him said, "The ground is just a pile of clods, which are everywhere. There is no place without clods. You walk and jump, walking around on the ground all day. How can you worry about sinking? " (After this person explained) Qi talents were relieved and happy; The people who enlightened him were relieved and happy.
